Summary

The Utah Wellbeing Survey project is designed to assess the wellbeing and local perspectives of city residents and to provide information to city leaders to inform their general planning processes. Over the years, we have found that each city and town has a unique experience and the Utah Wellbeing Survey allows for focused analysis at the community level. Survey questions include rating and importance of twelve different domains or categories of wellbeing, participation in recreation and nature-related activities, perspectives on local population growth and economic development, transportation perspectives, concerns for the future, and an array of demographic characteristic questions. Some cities added additional questions to their survey. Some cities added additional questions to their survey, particularly regarding city amenities.

In early 2024, participating cities in the Bear River Region advertised the survey via social media, email lists, newsletters, and other ways of reaching out to local residents. All city residents age 18+ were encouraged to take the online Qualtrics survey.

What is in this report?

This report summarizes findings from the 2024 survey from six cities in Cache County (Logan, Hyde Park, Hyrum, Nibley, Providence, and Wellsville) and one city in Box Elder County (Tremonton). Please see the individual city reports on the Utah Wellbeing Project website for more details. This information may help cities and other regional entities refine their messaging with residents on key issues, affirm existing plans, support future planning, and have practical implications for spending and providing services.

Survey Cities and Response Numbers

From the Bear River Region, 2,534 viable surveys were recorded in this 2024 survey effort.

This project benefits from the partnership with, and funding from, the Utah League of Cities and Towns, which is helping cities envision ways to use the findings from the wellbeing survey to inform their general planning processes. The Utah League of Cities and Towns clusters cities and towns into five different categories based on size and growth rates. We utilize these clusters in our analysis and have combined Rural Hub & Resort communities with Traditional Rural Communities. Some cities may fit within more than one cluster. The Bear River cities with their cluster classification and number of responses are listed below:

Hyrum (306)

Overall Personal Wellbeing and Community Wellbeing in the Bear River Region Study Cities

The average of the city average personal wellbeing scores in the Bear River Region was 4.07 with 75% of respondents indicating their wellbeing at a 4 or 5 on the 5-point scale. The average of the city average scores for community wellbeing in the Bear River Region was 3.71 with 56% of respondents indicating community wellbeing at a 4 or 5 on the 5-point scale.
