Summary � <br />The National Citizen Survey' (The NCSTM) is a collaborative effort between National Research Center, Inc. (NRC) <br />and the International City /County Management Association (ICMA). The survey and its administration are <br />standardized to assure high quality research methods and directly comparable results across The NCS <br />communities. The NCS captures residents' opinions within the three pillars of a community (Community <br />Characteristics, Governance and Participation) across eight central facets of community (Safety, Mobility, Natural <br />Environment, Built Environment, Economy, Recreation and Wellness, Education and Enrichment and <br />Community Engagement). This report summarizes Ramsey's performance in the eight facets of community <br />livability with the "General" rating as a summary of results from the overarching questions not shown within any <br />of the eight facets. The "Overall" represents the community pillar in its entirety (the eight facets and general). <br />By summarizing resident ratings across the eight facets and three pillars of a livable community, a picture of <br />Ramsey's community livability emerges. Below, the color of each community facet summarizes how residents <br />rated each of the pillars that support it — Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation. When most <br />ratings were higher than the benchmark, the color is the darkest shade; when most ratings were lower than the <br />benchmark, the color is the lightest shade. A mix of ratings (higher and lower than the benchmark) results in a <br />color between the extremes. <br />Overall, ratings in each pillar and facet in Ramsey were on par with other communities. Residents identified <br />Safety, Natural Environment and Built Environment as community facets that had the strongest Participation <br />compared to other places. Participation within Community Engagement and Community Characteristics related to <br />Ramsey's Economy were not as strong. This information can be helpful in identifying the areas that merit more <br />attention. <br />ure 1: Dashboard Summa <br />Overall <br />General <br />Mobility <br />Natural Environment <br />Built Environment <br />Economy <br />Recreation and Wellness <br />Education and Enrichment <br />Community Engagement <br />Community Characteristics Governance Partici ation <br />her Similar � Hiaher Similar Lower Hiaher I Similar Lower <br />Le end <br />Higher <br />Similar <br />Lower <br />
