Courtney Flint courtney. Springdale is one of 51 cities and towns participating in the Utah Wellbeing Survey Project in This project is designed to assess the wellbeing and local perspectives of residents and to provide information to city and town leaders to inform general planning processes. Additional analysis is underway and this report may be updated over time. We are grateful to all those who took the survey and to our city partners who helped to make this possible.
This report describes findings from the Springdale survey and comparative information with other project cities and towns. In March , Springdale Town advertised the survey for residents largely through email, social media, newsletters, flyers, and town meetings. Demographic characteristics of the survey respondents were compared below with U.
Census information from the American Community Survey. In the graph below, gray bars indicate differences between the American Community Survey estimates and the Utah Wellbeing Project surveys.
The wider the gray bars, the larger the differences. Also note that estimates for religious affiliation, adult non-conforming or non-binary gender, disability, and chronic conditions are unavailable from the census data. There can also be a variable margin of error in the American Community Survey estimates, and caution should be used when comparing estimates.
Not all respondents provided demographic information. As the graph shows, survey respondents were not fully representative of Springdale. Survey participants were asked about their overall personal wellbeing and overall community wellbeing in Springdale. These wellbeing indicators were both measured on a 5-point scale from poor 1 to excellent 5. The average personal wellbeing score in Springdale was 4. The average score for community wellbeing in Springdale was 3. The Utah League of Cities and Towns clusters cities and towns into five different categories based on size and growth rates.
