Performance Scores for Selected Services:

The Performance Scores for Selected Services Section
provides a summary of performance scores for general
government services, social and judicial services,
public safety and community development. Essentially,
respondents were asked a series of questions regarding
well they believed local government had performed the
identified services.

Three parts are included. The first is a table
delineating summary statistics for each area of inquiry,
with links to charts which illustrate the raw responses
for each area of inquiry. Finally, a statistical
summation by jurisdiction is also provided (a link is
located to the right). |
