Below are the findings from the on-line Bluebird District Survey. While
reviewing the results please keep in mind the survey results provided by Survey Monkey did
not include:
1. The response rate, that is, the number of people who answered the
survey divided by the total population (residents and business owners) of the
Bluebird District.
2. A break-out of responses by residents and by business owners, so you
will not be able to see any differences that may exist between these
groups.
3. 33% of respondents who answered Q1, did not answer Q4; 25% did not
answer Q6 and over 20% did not answer Qs 2,3,5,8 &10.
