Utah communities are changing rapidly. Keeping a finger on the pulse of residents' wellbeing and attitudes about community issues helps to promote sound planning and decision-making to support overall quality of life in Utah's cities and towns.
The Utah Wellbeing Survey tracks local perspectives on wellbeing around the state from very rural places to larger and rapidly growing cities. Partnerships with Utah cities make it possible to conduct annual online surveys. Over 42,000 surveys from Utahns were collected between 2019 and 2024 from 62 cities and towns across the state.
The Utah Wellbeing Survey tracks individual and community wellbeing across many areas as well as gathering perspectives on local concerns, community connections, population growth and economic development, and much more.
The 2026 Utah Wellbeing Survey is underway! Please contact us for information on city participation.
The Wellbeing Project is now a partnership with Dr. Ty Aller and Dr. Heather Kelley and others at the Institute for Disability Research, Policy, & Practice
Contributing cities in 2026 include: Cedar City, Delta, Heber, Ivins, La Verkin, South Weber, Vernal, West Bountiful, and West Valley City.
We also want to acknowledge the support from IDRPP, the Institute for Disability Research, Policy & Practice.
