About The NCS™ The National Community Survey™ (The NCS™) report is about the “livability” of Centennial. A livable community is a place that is not simply habitable, but that is desirable. It is not only where people do live, but where they want to live. The survey was developed by the experts from National Research Center at Polco. Great communities are partnerships of the government, private sector, community-based organizations and residents, all geographically connected. The NCS captures residents’ opinions considering ten central facets of a community: • Economy • Mobility • Community Design • Utilities • Safety • Natural Environment • Parks and Recreation • Health and Wellness • Education, Arts, and Culture • Inclusivity and Engagement The report provides the opinions of a representative sample of 519 residents of the City of Centennial collected from May 19th, 2021 to July 28th, 2021. The margin of error around any reported percentage is 4% for all respondents and the response rate for the 2021 survey was 10%. Survey results were weighted so that the demographic profile of respondents was representative of the demographic profile of adults in Centennial.
How the results are reported For the most part, the percentages presented in the following tabs represent the “percent positive.” Most commonly, the percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., excellent/good, very safe/somewhat safe, etc.). On many of the questions in the survey respondents may answer “don’t know.” The proportion of respondents giving this reply is shown in the full set of responses included in the tab “Complete data.” However, these responses have been removed from the analyses presented in most of the tabs. In other words, the tables and graphs display the responses from respondents who had an opinion about a specific item.
Comparisons to benchmarks NRC’s database of comparative resident opinion is comprised of resident perspectives gathered in surveys from over 600 communities whose residents evaluated the same kinds of topics on The National Community Survey. The comparison evaluations are from the most recent survey completed in each community in the last five years. NRC adds the latest results quickly upon survey completion, keeping the benchmark data fresh and relevant. The communities in the database represent a wide geographic and population range. In each tab, Centennial's results are noted as being “higher” than the benchmark, “lower” than the benchmark, or “similar” to the benchmark, meaning that the average rating given by Centennial residents is statistically similar to or different (greater or lesser) than the benchmark. Being rated as “higher” or “lower” than the benchmark means that Centennial's average rating for a particular item was more than 10 points different than the benchmark. If a rating was “much higher” or “much lower,” then Centennial's average rating was more than 20 points different when compared to the benchmark. The survey was administered during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time of challenge for many local governments. While we provide comparisons to national benchmarks, it is important to note that much of the benchmark data was collected prior to the pandemic. This may impact how your City's 2021 ratings compare to other communities’ ratings from the past five years.

comparisons to national benchmarks, it is important to note that much of the benchmark data was collected prior to the pandemic. This may impact how your City's 2021 ratings compare to other communities’ ratings from the past five years.
Trends over time Trend data for Centennial represent important comparison data and should be examined for improvements or declines*. Deviations from stable trends over time represent opportunities for understanding how local policies, programs, or public information may have affected residents' opinions. Changes between survey years have been noted with an arrow and the percent difference. If the difference is greater than six percentage points between the 2016 and 2021 surveys, the change is statistically significant. * In 2020, The NCS survey was updated to include new and refreshed items. Consequently, some of the trends may be impacted due to wording modifications that could have potentially altered the meaning of the item for the respondent.

Methods Selecting survey recipients All households within the City of Centennial were eligible to participate in the survey. A list of all households within the zip codes serving Centennial was purchased from Go-Dog Direct based on updated listings from the United States Postal Service. Since some of the zip codes that serve the City of Centennial households may also serve addresses that lie outside of the community, the exact geographic location of each housing unit was compared to community boundaries using the most current municipal boundary file. Addresses located outside of the City of Centennial boundaries were removed from the list of potential households to survey. Each address identified as being within city boundaries was further identified as being within one of the four City Council districts. From that list, addresses were randomly selected as survey recipients, with multi-family housing units (defined as those with a unit number) sampled at a rate of 53 compared to single family housing units. An individual within each household was selected using the birthday method. The birthday method selects a person within the household by asking the “person whose birthday has most recently passed” to complete the questionnaire. The underlying assumption in this method is that day of birth has no relationship to the way people respond to surveys. This instruction was contained in the introduction of the survey.
Conducting the survey The 5,000 randomly selected households received mailings beginning on May 19th, 2021 and the survey remained open for ten weeks. For 1,500 households, the first mailing was a postcard inviting the household to participate in the survey. The next mailing contained a cover letter with instructions, the survey questionnaire, and a postage-paid return envelope. The final mailing contained a reminder letter, another survey, and a postage-paid return envelope. For the remaining 3,500 households, the first mailing was a postcard inviting the household to participate, followed one week later by a reminder postcard. All mailings included a web link to give residents the opportunity to respond to the survey online. All follow-up mailings asked those who had not completed the survey to do so and those who had already done so to refrain from completing the survey again. About 1% of the 5,000 mailed invitations or surveys were returned because the household address was vacant or the postal service was unable to deliver the survey as addressed. Of the remaining 4,949 households that received the invitations to participate, 519 completed the survey, providing an overall response rate of 10%. The response rate was calculated using AAPOR’s response rate #2* for mailed surveys of unnamed persons. It is customary to describe the precision of estimates made from surveys by a “level of confidence” and accompanying “confidence interval” (or margin of error). A traditional level of confidence, and the one used here, is 95%. The 95% confidence interval can be any size and quantifies the sampling error or imprecision of the survey results because some residents’ opinions are relied on to estimate all residents’ opinions. The margin of error for the City of Centennial survey is no greater than plus or minus four percentage points around any given percent reported for all respondents (519 completed surveys). In addition to the randomly selected “probability sample” of households, a link to an online open participation survey was publicized by the City of Centennial. The open participation survey was identical to the probability sample survey with two small updates; it included a map at the beginning asking where the respondent lives and a question about where they heard about the survey. The open participation survey was open to all city residents and became available on June 23rd, 2021. The survey remained open for five weeks. The data presented in the following tabs exclude the open participation survey data, but a tab at the end provides the complete frequency of responses to questions by the open participation respondents.

Analyzing the data Responses from mailed surveys were entered into an electronic dataset using a “key and verify” method, where all responses are entered twice and compared to each other. Any discrepancies were resolved in comparison to the original survey form. Range checks as well as other forms of quality control were also performed. Responses from surveys completed on Polco were downloaded and merged with the mailed survey responses. The demographics of the survey respondents were compared to those found in the 2010 Census and 2017 American Community Survey estimates for adults in the City of Centennial. The primary objective of weighting survey data is to make the survey respondents reflective of the larger population of the community. The characteristics used for weighting were age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, housing type, housing tenure, and area. No adjustments were made for design effects. Weights were calculated using an iterative, multiplicative raking model known as the ANES Weighting Algorithm.* The results of the weighting scheme for the probability sample are presented in the following table. NRC aligns demographic labels with those used by the U.S. Census for reporting purposes, when possible.

The survey datasets were analyzed using all or some of a combination of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), R, Python and Tableau. For the most part, the percentages presented in the reports represent the “percent positive.” The percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., excellent/good, very safe/somewhat safe, essential/very important, etc.), or, in the case of resident behaviors/participation, the percent positive represents the proportion of respondents indicating “yes” or participating in an activity at least once a month. On many of the questions in the survey respondents may answer “don’t know.” The proportion of respondents giving this reply is shown in the full set of responses included in the tab “Complete data”. However, these responses have been removed from the analyses presented in the reports. In other words, the tables and graphs display the responses from respondents who had an opinion about a specific item.

Highlights Residents praise Centennial's economy.
Centennial’s economy was an important and positively rated facet of the community. About 8 in 10 community members gave excellent or good marks to the overall economic health of Centennial, and at least two-thirds indicated similarly about economic development, the City as a place to visit, and the variety of business and service establishments in Centennial. All of the items were on par with national and custom benchmarks and 2016 survey results. Additionally, shopping opportunities, employment opportunities, the vibrancy of the commercial area, the overall quality of business and service establishments, and Centennial as a place to work all performed higher than the national and custom benchmarks, with at least 7 in 10 residents giving excellent or good marks to the items. The items either remained stable or increased from the 2016 survey iteration.
Access to affordable quality housing is an area of opportunity for Centennial and residents identify potential gaps in the availability of certain types of housing in the community.
Less than one-quarter of residents gave positive marks to the availability of affordable quality housing in Centennial, rating it lower than the national benchmark, similar to the custom benchmark, and a significant decline from the 2016 results. When asked additional supplementary questions about housing needs in the community, residents identified a gap in available housing for certain categories of individuals. Nearly 95% of residents indicated they either strongly agree or somewhat agree that there is enough available housing for high-income households. Conversely, only 3 in 10 respondents said similarly for low-income households. Around half of respondents stated that there is available housing for residents working in fields including retail, office support, or construction, while about 6 in 10 stated similarly for residents working in fields like teaching, nursing, or law enforcement. The availability of housing for senior citizens to live independently, quality rental housing, and middle-income households received positive marks by at least 6 in 10 community members.
Mobility receives mixed reviews in Centennial, but community members have strong preferences for different mobility and transportation options in the City.
Around 8 in 10 respondents applauded the ease of public parking in Centennial, rating it higher than the national benchmark and much higher than the custom benchmark. Ease of travel by car and ease of walking in Centennial received similarly high marks, with 80% and 66% of respondents rating them as excellent or good, respectively. Over half of residents gave positive reviews to the overall quality of the transportation system in Centennial, traffic flow on major streets, and ease of traffic by bicycle in the City; these marks were on par with the national and custom benchmarks and increased from the 2016 survey. Residents also identified the mobility services provided by Centennial as positive and many increased from the 2016 survey iteration. Traffic enforcement, street cleaning, street lighting, and sidewalk maintenance received excellent or good ratings from about 6 in 10 community members. At least 4 in 10 respondents indicated similarly for bus or transit services, snow removal, street repair, and traffic signal timing. All ratings were on par with the national and custom averages. In addition to the standard mobility questions, Centennial asked how important various types of transportation and mobility options are to residents. Nearly 90% of residents indicated that safe walking routes to schools are either essential or very important and working on the overall flow of traffic within Centennial was a close second, with about 8 in 10 respondents indicating similarly. Safe bike routes, safe walking routes to businesses/services, and limiting cut-through traffic were identified as essential or very important by at least 6 in 10 residents. The least important items were providing additional funding for traffic calming within neighborhoods (52%) and being able to run errands without a car (32%).
Centennial residents feel safe in the community and report positive interactions with law enforcement.
When asked which areas of community livability Centennial should focus on in the coming two years, over 90% of respondents indicated that safety was an essential or very important focus area, making it the highest priority for residents. About 8 in 10 respondents praised the overall feeling of safety in Centennial. At least three-quarters of residents reported feeling very safe or somewhat safe in their neighborhood during the day, in Centennial’s commercial area during the day, from property crime, and from violent crime. Similarly, all safety services received favorable reviews from at least 7 in 10 respondents, including police/sheriff services, crime prevention, animal control, fire services, fire prevention and education, and emergency preparedness. All items were on par with the national and custom benchmarks and remained consistent from the 2016 survey. Moreover, about 20% of community members reported having contact with Centennial law enforcement within the last twelve months. Of that percentage, at least 7 in 10 community members gave excellent or good marks to the overall performance, responsiveness, competence, and attitudes and behaviors of the law enforcement officials they interacted with.

Balancing performance and importance

Balancing performance and importance Every jurisdiction must balance limited resources while meeting resident needs and striving to optimize community livability. To this end, it is helpful to know what aspects of the community are most important to residents and which they perceive as being of higher or lower quality. It is especially helpful to know when a facet of livability is considered of high importance but rated as lower quality, as this should be a top priority to address. To help guide City staff and officials with decisions on future resource allocation, resident ratings of the importance of services were compared to their ratings of the quality of these services. To identify the services perceived by residents to have relatively lower quality at the same time as relatively higher importance, all services were ranked from highest perceived quality to lowest perceived quality and from highest perceived importance to lowest perceived importance. Some services were in the top half of both lists (higher quality and higher importance); some were in the top half of one list but the bottom half of the other (higher quality and lower importance or lower quality and higher importance); and some services were in the bottom half of both lists. Services receiving quality ratings of excellent or good by 78% or more of respondents were considered of “higher quality” and those with ratings lower than 78% were considered to be of “lower quality.” Services were classified as “more important” if they were rated as essential or very important by 76% or more of respondents. Services were rated as “less important” if they received a rating of less than 76%. This classification uses the median ratings for quality and importance to divide the services in half. The quadrants in the figure below show which community facets were given higher or lower importance ratings (up-down) and which had higher or lower quality ratings (right-left). Services categorized as higher in importance and lower in quality may warrant further investigation to see if changes to their delivery are necessary.

Percentile
This table contains the comparisons of Centennial's results to those from other communities. The first column shows the comparison of Centennial's rating to the benchmark. Centennial's results are noted as being “higher”, “lower” or “similar” to the benchmark, meaning that the average rating given by Centennial residents is statistically similar to or different than the benchmark. The second column is Centennial's “percent positive.” Most commonly, the percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., excellent/good). The third column is the rank assigned to Centennial's rating among communities where a similar question was asked. The fourth column is the number of communities that asked a similar question. The fifth column shows the percentile for Centennial's result -- that is what percent of surveyed communities had a lower rating than Centennial.

Percentile
This table contains the comparisons of Centennial's results to those from other front range communities. The first column shows the comparison of Centennial's rating to the benchmark. Centennial's results are noted as being “higher”, “lower” or “similar” to the benchmark, meaning that the average rating given by Centennial residents is statistically similar to or different than the benchmark. The second column is Centennial's “percent positive.” Most commonly, the percent positive is the combination of the top two most positive response options (i.e., excellent/good). The third column is the rank assigned to Centennial's rating among communities where a similar question was asked. The fourth column is the number of communities that asked a similar question. The fifth column shows the percentile for Centennial's result -- that is what percent of surveyed communities had a lower rating than Centennial.

When a table for a question that only permitted a single response does not total to exactly 100%, it is due to the common practice of percentages being rounded to the nearest whole number.

Methods (open participation) As part of its participation in The National Community Survey™ (The NCS™), the City of Centennial conducted a survey of 5,000 residents. Survey invitations were mailed to randomly selected households and data were collected from May 19th, 2021 to July 28th, 2021. The results from this main survey effort represent the most robust estimate of your residents’ opinions. After the above data collection period was underway, a link to an online open participation survey was publicized by the City of Centennial. The open participation survey was identical to the probability sample survey with two small updates; it included a map at the beginning asking where the respondent lives and also a question about where they heard about the survey. The open participation survey was open to all city residents and became available on June 23rd, 2021. The survey remained open for five weeks and there were 467 responses. The open participation survey data were not collected through a random sample and it is unknown who in the community was aware of the survey; therefore, a level of confidence in the representativeness of the sample cannot be estimated. However, to reduce bias where possible, these data were statistically weighted to match the demographic characteristics of the 2010 Census and 2017 American Community Survey estimates for adults in the City of Centennial. The characteristics used for weighting were age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, housing type, housing tenure, and area. No adjustments were made for design effects. Weights were calculated using an iterative, multiplicative raking model known as the ANES Weighting Algorithm.* The results of the weighting scheme for the open participation survey are presented in the following table. * Pasek, J. (2010). ANES Weighting Algorithm. Retrieved from https://web.stanford.edu/group/iriss/cgi-bin/anesrake/resources/RakingDescription.pdf

Open participation survey results This dashboard contains a complete set of responses to each question on the open participation survey. By default, "don't know" responses are excluded, but may be added to the table using the response filter to the right. When a table for a question that only permitted a single response does not total to exactly 100%, it is due to the common practice of percentages being rounded to the nearest whole number.
