KYLE, TEXAS – The City of Kyle is launching a new public survey tool through Zencity to better understand local priorities and concerns on a wide range of city services and the local quality of life.   

The tool will enable the city leadership to more holistically understand local neighborhood issues and enhance their responsiveness to community priorities. The survey asks residents to rate their experience with different aspects of life in the City of Kyle including affordable housing, education, transportation, and public safety. 

The launch of the new community survey is in partnership with Zencity, the community input platform used by local governments to hear from more residents and get meaningful and actionable insights.  

In addition to helping the City of Kyle get proactive feedback from residents through surveys, Zencity will help the city understand the feedback residents are already voicing about the issues that matter to them the most — whether on publicly available social media channels, comments on traditional news sources, or through official channels — helping the City of Kyle to hear from all corners of the community. This information will help the city stay on top of emerging local issues; better understand the challenges and priorities of those less likely to participate in traditional civic forums, and meaningfully contribute to the local conversation with timely and informative communications. 

Zencity’s community survey incorporates voices from every corner of the community. To do so, Zencity sets response targets based on U.S. Census data about the municipality. Zencity ensures the security and privacy of its data and survey respondents. Survey responses are anonymous unless a respondent chooses to share their email address for follow-up purposes. Regardless, survey responses are kept confidential. Zencity does not collect a respondent’s name, address, or any other personally-identifying information. Zencity’s weighting accounts for the responses of every single person who answered a question. The responses give a proportional voice to all demographics (e.g., by age, sex, race, education level, and income level) based on the makeup of the municipality.
