Community Survey
The 2026 Community Attitude Survey is currently underway! Please participate as thoroughly as possible to share your thoughts on any areas of concern and investments in the City.
The City of Thousand Oaks has conducted a Community Attitude Survey every five years since 1968 to sample resident satisfaction and sentiment on a variety of important community issues. The survey provides data that is used by the City Council and staff when setting goals and prioritizing projects for the future. In 2013, the City increased the frequency of this survey to every two-to-three years. In today's environment, a five-year interval is simply too long to measure fluctuations in community sentiment and priorities.
The survey is managed by True North Research Company, a firm specializing in measuring community satisfaction, and is conducted in two stages.
Stage one includes a Thousand Oaks resident random sample phone and online survey.
Stage two consists of a supplemental web version of the same telephone survey open to all adult Thousand Oaks residents. Postcards with PIN #'s are mailed to all residents with online survey instructions.
