Okaloosa County conducting quality of life survey

OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. – Okaloosa County is conducting a comprehensive quality of life community survey, the county has announced.

Randomly selected residents living in the unincorporated areas of the county are receiving a postcard invitation to complete the survey online. If the survey is not completed online, a reminder will be sent, along with a paper survey.

Soon, the survey will be open for all residents by visiting the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners’ website at myokaloosa.com. An announcement will be made when the online survey is open.

 “We are excited to be conducting this survey,” said Mel Ponder, Chairman of the Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners.

“This survey will help Okaloosa County staff and board identify priorities for the community and improve the quality of life in Okaloosa County.”

According to the county, the survey instrument, known as The National Community Survey, will allow it to compare results and benchmark residents’ opinions against other communities across the country.

The survey includes questions about quality of life, important characteristics of community, services provided by Okaloosa County, and priorities for the future. The survey does not ask for any personally identifiable information, and all responses will remain anonymous. The survey will be available online in English and Spanish.
