The following is a press release written by Desiree DeMolina for the City of Bloomington.
The City of Bloomington has completed the statistically valid sample for its 2026 Community Survey and is now opening the survey to all residents for broader community participation through May 15, 2026.
The initial phase of the survey focused on gathering responses from a randomized, representative sample of households to ensure statistically reliable results. With that threshold now met, the survey enters its second phase, allowing any resident to share feedback on City services, priorities, and quality of life.
The survey is being conducted in partnership with aQity Research & Insights Inc., an independent research firm. All responses remain confidential, and results will be reported in aggregate form only.
Residents can access the open participation survey at arisurvey.com/s3/Bloom26.
While open participation responses are not included in the scientific sample, they provide valuable additional insight and context to help the City better understand community experiences and priorities. Results will be compiled into a final report and presented publicly following the close of data collection.
The City encourages all residents to participate and share their perspectives.
