Executive Summary
The questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of 2,000 households in October 2020. The response rate for the random sample
survey was 21% (425 returned surveys). Based on the response rate, we can be 95% certain that the results for the questions reflect
the views of Georgetown households with a margin of error of +/- 5%. In other words, if 80% of residents who say that the quality
of an indicator is good or excellent, we can be 95% certain that the true value is between 75% and 85%.
In addition, a link to an open survey was also made available to the public and 767 Georgetown residents completed the online
survey. Because the demographics of the randomly selected respondents and the online participants were statistically similar, they
were merged in this report. When all the responses to the survey are merged, the total number of respondents (n=1192) results in a
margin of error of +/- 3%.
It is important to note that the responses reflect respondent perceptions. These perceptions should not be mistaken for objective
reality. Perceptions are formed in the context of expectations that people have for the quality of public services in Georgetown. For
example, waiting three minutes to get through an intersection may be perceived to be an excessive amount of time by people
expecting small town traffic. The same three minutes may not be noticed by people expecting rush hour traffic for a growing
community in a booming metro area. Another important note is the context of COVID-19. The responses are potentially skewed by
COVID-19 because some city services were closed or on reduced hours, people were generally less active throughout the city, and a
generalized level of stress and anxiety from the COVID-19 crisis that might lead to more negative perceptions overall.
Summary of Findings:
• The city meets and exceed benchmarks for quality in overall quality of life, protective services, perceptions of safety,
utility, public services. In addition, the public rates the quality of the service they receive when they contact a city
department at levels that meet and exceed benchmarks.
• Areas where the city does not meet benchmarks include areas impacted by rapid growth: streets and traffic, mobility,
and development.
• There are relatively few statistically differences when the views of respondents are examined by six demographic and
social variables. Of the 208 possible combinations, statistically significant differences were found in 22% of the cases.
Key Indicators Legend
Percent of Respondents with Good or Excellent Perceptions by Survey Item
The following tables present the percent of respondents who indicated that they perceived the service, program, or level of safety as good or
excellent. The key indicators are reported for the random sample and the merged sample. A city where 80% of the respondents rate the item as
good or excellent can be considered meeting benchmarks. Taking into account the margin of error for the random sample (+/- 5%), 75% good or
excellent is potentially 80% (75% + 5%). Taking into account the margin of error for the merged sample (+/- 3%), 77% good or excellent is
potentially 80% (77% + 3%). The legend below presents a quick guide for understanding the findings.

Statistically Significant Differences
Six different contrasts were used including: Years Living in Georgetown, Age, Race, Gender Income, Home Ownership
The Chi -Square Statistic is used to determine if there are any statistically significant associations between each of the contracts and service
quality indicators.
Quality of Life
There were statistically significant differences in 3 out of 30 possible contracts (10%) of quality -of- life indicators. Statistically significant
differences included:
• Non -white respondents were less likely to rate the city as a place to live as good or excellent (84%) compared to white respondents
(92%).
• Non -white respondents are also less likely to rate the overall quality of life in Georgetown as good or excellent (86%) compared to white
respondents (92%)
Residents who have been living in Georgetown longer are less likely to rate the city as a place to retire as good or excellent. Eighty
percent of residents living in the city more than 20 years rate the city as a place to retire as good or excellent compared to 90% of
residents who have lived in the city less than 5 years, 89% of those who lived in the city between 6 and 10 years, and 87% of residents
who lived in the city between 11 and 20 years.
Mobility
There were statistically significant differences in 8 out of 33 possible contracts (24%) of mobility indicators. Statistically significant differences
included:
• Residents who have lived in Georgetown longer as less likely to rate mobility indicators as good or excellent. Specifically, residents who
have lived in Georgetown more than 20 years rate ease of walking for leisure, traffic flow on major street, and the amount of public
parking lower than residents who have lived in Georgetown less than 10 years.
• Residents who own their own home are less likely to rate mobility indicators as good or excellent. Specifically, homeowners rate ease of
walking to work, traffic flow on major streets, and amount of public parking lower than residents who rent.
• Older residents over 65 are less likely to rate the amount of public parking as good or excellent (33%) than residents under 65 (43%).
14
Development
There were statistically significant differences in 8 out of 30 possible contracts (27%) of quality of development indicators. Statistically
significant differences included:
• Homeowners are less likely to rate overall quality of businesses and retail options as good or excellent compared to renters and more
likely to rate housing availability as good or excellent thran renters.
• Residents who have lived in Georgetown longer as less likely to rate the quality of new development and housing availability as good or
excellent.
• Non -white respondents are less likely to rate housing availability as good or excellent (56%) compared to white residents (66%).
• Residents with household incomes less than $70,000 per year are less likely to rate housing availability as good or excellent (57%),
compared to those who make more than $70,000 per year (68%).
Protective Services
There were statistically significant differences in 10 out of 42 possible contracts (24%) of quality of development indicators. Statistically
significant differences included:
• Non -white respondents are less likely to rate police services, fire and EMS, municipal courts, animal control, and emergency
preparedness as good or excellent compared to white respondents.
• Respondents under 65 are less likely to rate police services and municipal courts as good or excellent compared to over-65 respondents.
• Respondents who have lived in Georgetown more than 20 years are less likely to rate code enforcement as good or excellent compared
to residents who have lived in Georgetown less than 20 years.
• A higher percentage of homeowners rate police services as good or excelled compared to renters.
• A lower percentage of residents with household income under $75,000 and residents with income above $150,000 both rate traffic
enforcement as good or excellent compared to middle income residents.
Public Services
There were statistically significant differences in 17 out of 60 possible contracts (28%) of public service indicators. Statistically significant
differences included:
15
• Residents who own their homes are more likely to rate street lighting and recycling programs, and city sewer service as good or
excellent compared to renters.
• White respondents rate garbage collection, recycling, traffic signal timing, city water service, city sewer service, and city electric service
higher than non -white respondents.
• Residents who earn more than $150,000 per year are more likely to rate street lighting as good or excellent compared to those who earn
less.

Coded Open -Ended Responses
Respondents were asked to volunteer their top three priorities for the City of Georgetown. This question was asked at the start of the survey to
better capture what is on the mind of respondents before they were influenced by the questions asked in the survey.
The tables below present the total number of mentions and the percentage of mentions for different categories coded by the research team
(actual responses are presented at the end of the report). Coding open-ended responses is subjective and some of the categories could be
combined. For example, streets/roads and traffic/parking point to a similar priority. In addition, is come cases if a respondent, for example,
write "growth" it is not possible to know if they believe that growth is too fast or too slow.
