Since 2009, the City of Pearland worked with outside vendors to conduct the Community Survey. The statistically- valid survey provides an opportunity to connect with community members and gain a better understanding with qualified data of opinions on City services and the perceptions of quality of life. The results are used by Pearland leaders to identify challenges and to plan for and evaluate improvements and to sustain services and amenities for long-term success.

Why use a scientific sample and not survey the entire population?

Just like well-grounded opinion polling in business or public policy, if you get a representative sample to respond to a large group, you can make solid, well-founded decisions based on the representative sample.  Just like when you're doing your sampling of water quality and such, take a dip and you can assume that's true for the whole pool. The representative sample gets people who would not normally come to a City Council meeting or even vote but live in Pearland.  Additionally, the City has built-inregular opportunities more and more into publications for quick feedback cards, so the representative sample scientific survey is one of several pieces, but one that we should put a good amount of weight towards.
