Case Studies
South Jordan
Annual survey of South Jordan City residents evaluating overall quality of life, satisfaction with City services, communication priorities and mode preferences, and various community issue questions as individual topics arise. Y² Analytics has had the pleasure of working with the City of South Jordan since 2014 measuring and analyzing public opinion regarding core city functions. For this engagement, a representative sample of South Jordan residents is collected via online surveys each year in January. The results of these surveys aid in the City budgeting and strategic planning process for the following year. Over the past decade working with the City of South Jordan, we have also established and leveraged a resident public opinion panel to gather timely data on an ad hoc basis regarding a variety of pressing issues in the city when they arise. In one such ad-hoc panel survey, South Jordan was facing a budget shortfall and we worked with them to examine resident priorities and tradeoff preferences for city funding in 2020.Our Clients
