Fishers Community Survey

In January of 2026, we partnered with National Citizens Survey to learn what our city is doing well and how we can continue to do better.

The National Community Survey report is about the livability of Fishers. A livable community is a place that is not simply habitable, but that is desirable. The NCS was developed by the experts from the National Research Center at Polco in partnership with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and has been administered in hundreds of communities across the United States.

The survey asked residents about their perspectives on the following:

Economy
Mobility
Community Design
Utilities
Safety
Natural Environment
Parks and Recreation
Health and Wellness
Education, Arts, and Culture
Community Connection

The results provides the opinions of a representative sample of 2,930 residents of the city of Fishers collected from January 19-February 23, 2026. The margin of error around any reported percentage is 1.8% for all respondents. Survey results were weighted so that the demographic profile of respondents was representative of the demographic profile of adults in Fishers. For reporting purposes, the City considered ratings “fair” to “excellent” as positive ratings.

Complete DataThis table contains the full set of response frequencies from for each survey question, with “don’t know” responses excluded by default. In some cases, percentages may not total 100%. This occurs either when respondents were allowed to select multiple answers or, for single-answer questions, as a result of rounding to the nearest whole number.
