Valley Cares Report
Did you know that over 93% of Valley residents surveyed rate their quality of life as good or very good, while 8% rate it as poor or very poor?
To find out more about what contributes to the well-being of Valley residents and what challenges we face as a community, we invite you to read the Valley CARES Quality of Life Report.
Valley CARES Quality of Life Report
The Valley CARES (Community Assessment Research & Education for Solutions)
Initiative of the Valley Council is designed to track key indicators of quality
of life in the Valley over time. Our goal is to see what aspects of community
life have gotten better over time and what areas may need improvement.
For more information, see the
summary report (23 pgs.) or the
full report. Additional detail about the results of the Valley resident
survey used in the report is available in the
Community Survey Results
document.
We Invite Your Feedback
After you read the report, please complete a very short survey to help us
understand how you plan to use the report and to give us your feedback regarding
how we can improve the report and use it to help create action plans for
community improvement. Click here to
take the survey now.

If you are interested in obtaining a printed copy of the report, sharing your
ideas for community improvement, or getting involved in efforts to build an even
better Valley, please contact the Valley Council Coordinator.
