How satisfied are Lenexa residents? Where can the city improve? What priorities are of greatest interest?
Every other year since 2005, the ETC Institute has surveyed Lenexa residents to gauge overall satisfaction with the city and its major services. Input on public safety, city maintenance, code enforcement, parks and recreation and more are all taken into account. The results help city leaders evaluate performance as well as set future priorities.
More than 700 residents completed the 2019 survey, a hundred more than required to ensure accurate reporting, and Lenexa’s results were once again among the best in the KC metro and United States.
