Corvallis Community Survey Begins Data Collection in September

September 22, 2025 - Mailings are beginning this week to invite 3,000 randomly selected households to participate in the biennial Corvallis Community Survey. The City conducts the Corvallis Community Survey every two years to gather statistically valid public input about community satisfaction in several broad categories in Corvallis.

Selected households will receive a postcard invitation with a personalized web link to take the survey online. A few days after the postcard, a printed survey will be sent to the same address, so that households have the option of completing either the web survey or the print survey. New for 2025, a selected number of individuals will receive a text message invitation to complete the survey on behalf of their household.

The Corvallis Community Survey is limited to 3,000 households, so don't fret if you're not selected this time around. If you are selected, please complete the survey either online (preferred) or by completing the printed survey and returning it using the postage paid envelope.

The survey is administered by Polco, a public opinion data consultant that specializes in community polling. Next month, Polco will compile the response data and produce a final survey report, which will be delivered to the City Council. The report will be posted on the City website at www.corvallisoregon.gov/surveys when it is available.

For more information on the survey, please contact Patrick W. Rollens at 541-766-6368 or patrick.rollens@corvallisoregon.gov.
