The following is a news release from the city of Idaho Falls.

IDAHO FALLS – The City of Idaho Falls wants your input on what you love about Idaho Falls and how it can improve through a community-wide survey.

Randomly selected households will receive a mailed postcard over the next few weeks. Households that receive a postcard are asked to follow the instructions and complete the community survey.

All residents will have the opportunity to share their input in February when the survey becomes available to the entire community.

“Idaho Falls has continually been ranked among the top small cities in the United States, but … the only ranking that really matters is yours — and how much you love your city,” said Idaho Falls Mayor Rebecca Casper. “This is why we are excited to receive more input from the community to guide city officials as we continue to make Idaho Falls the community we want to live work and play in.”

Idaho Falls has partnered with Polco, a leader in the field of civic engagement and surveying, to issue the 2025 National Community Survey in Idaho Falls.

The National Community Survey (The NCS) was developed by National Research Center at Polco. The survey captures opinions on the economy, mobility, community design, utilities, safety, natural environment, inclusivity, engagement, and other elements of Idaho Falls’ overall livability. The results will show Idaho Falls’ strengths, areas of improvement, and what matters most to residents. The city will also be able to see how its performance compares to other communities across the country.

Survey results will be compiled in a report by Polco and shared by the City of Idaho Falls with the community in the spring.

“We strongly encourage all residents to take the survey. The more people who participate, the better data we will have to inform our decisions. This is an opportunity for everyone in the community to share their thoughts and shape the future of Idaho Falls,” Casper said.
