The City of Richmond today announced that the 2026 Richmond Community Survey has been mailed to 4,000 randomly selected households throughout the city. Co-sponsored by the Administration and the City Auditor, this survey gives residents an opportunity to provide feedback on local quality of life, services, and priorities that will guide the Mayor’s Action Plan.

The Richmond Community Survey leverages the National Community Survey, which is a statistically representative resident survey used by hundreds of U.S. local governments. The survey will measure public opinion on community livability, satisfaction with City services, resident priorities, community engagement, and perceptions about local government performance. Responses will help City leaders identify strengths and areas for improvement, benchmark Richmond’s results against peer cities, and inform future budgeting and policy priorities.

“We encourage every household that receives the survey in the mail to take a few minutes to complete it,” said Mayor Danny Avula. “Your feedback shapes how Richmond invests in services that matter most; whether that’s public safety, parks, infrastructure, or community development.”

Results from the survey will be available on the City Auditor’s webpage at https://rva.gov/office-city-auditor/reports-issued once complete. For more information about the Mayor’s Action Plan, visit the City of Richmond’s official website at www.rva.gov/mayors-office/mayoral-action-plan.
