Every two years, the City of Henderson commissions a community survey to identify resident priorities, areas of satisfaction and areas they feel need attention. These results are compared to other cities regionally and nationally. The most recent survey was conducted in 2023.

The data collected from these surveys help shape the foundation of the five priorities outlined in the City’s four-year strategic plan: Quality Education, Community Safety, High-Performing Public Service, Economic Vitality, and a Healthy, Livable and Sustainable City.

As a result, the City of Henderson services continue to rank far above national averages, currently sitting 42% higher than other surveyed cities. Results include:
