Quality of Life Survey Results

Every two years, the City conducts a Quality of Life Survey to gather opinions from a random sample of Eden Prairie households. This provides City leaders with a snapshot of how residents feel about living in this community to determine current and future needs.

The latest survey results show Eden Prairie residents continue to enjoy a high quality of life and rate most City services and characteristics higher than local and national benchmarks.

Survey results are available at edenprairie.org/QualityOfLife.
