2022 Community Interest and Opinion Survey
NPD Value
When informed that the Park District represents 5% of residents’ property taxes, over three-quarters feel that it represents at least a good value relative to the parks, facilities, programs and services offered. The 2022 survey asked this “value” question after testing potential facility improvements which would result in higher fees (asked of ½ of the respondents) or higher taxes (asked of the other half – see pp. 73-74). The overall value ratings are generally consistent between the two “fee vs. tax” options, and likewise are consistent across regions and demographic subgroups.
