Kingman, AZ – What do you love about living in Kingman? What could be better? And what should the City focus on in the years ahead? The City of Kingman is seeking residents’ answers to these very questions!

Kingman residents are being asked to weigh in through the National Community Survey, giving the City valuable feedback on services, quality of life, and priorities for the community’s future. In partnership with the National Research Center at Polco, the City is conducting the community-wide survey as part of its ongoing effort to hear directly from residents and track how perceptions and priorities change over time.

“We are excited to receive input from the community to guide our strategic planning,” said City Manager Tim Walsh. “The survey will give us a baseline understanding of our services and allow us to measure our impact going forward.”

The National Community Survey asks residents about topics including the local economy, transportation, community design, utilities, public safety, parks and open spaces, community engagement, and Kingman’s overall livability. Coupled with the results from the City’s recent Town Hall, this survey will help identify what is working well, where improvements can be made, and what residents believe should be prioritized.

“The more people who participate, the better information we will have to guide our planning,” Walsh said. “This is an opportunity for everyone to share their thoughts and help shape the future of Kingman.”

Residents aged 18 and older are encouraged to participate by visiting http://polco.us/kingman2026OP. Participation requires a name and zip code, but responses will remain anonymous, and personal information will be securely managed by Polco. A Spanish version is also available at http://polco.us/kingman2026OPs.

The survey is officially open to all residents starting tomorrow, Thursday, September 3, and will close on September 24. For questions or additional information, please contact the City of Kingman at (928) 753-8120.
