Zen City survey: Peachtree City rates high on quality of life; concerns focus on jobs and input
Summary
Zen City presented survey results from just over 1,200 residents showing very high overall satisfaction and improved waste/recycling ratings; respondents identified living-wage availability and resident input as the survey's top concerns, and 58% supported mandatory curbside trash/recycling in a rotating question.
Zen City senior advisor Lee Feldman briefed Peachtree City Council on the 2024 community-survey results, reporting a sample of "just over 1,200 residents" and strong overall life-quality and safety ratings.
Key findings: overall satisfaction and life-quality metrics remain high and consistent with the city's demographics; the largest declines were in residents' perceived ability to give input and in living-wage availability. Waste and recycling satisfaction improved by roughly eight basis points. A rotating question about mandatory citywide curbside trash and recycling showed 58% support.
Feldman noted that sample deployment used targeted digital ads and ZIP-code breakdowns to ensure representativeness, and recommended continuing interactive online platforms and regular surveys to improve resident input. Council members thanked staff for using the survey data and discussed possible follow-up actions, including targeted affordability analysis and ideation platforms for transparency.
Quote: "We were able to have a sample size of just over 1,200 residents of Peachtree City which is a quite large sample size for a community of your size," Lee Feldman said.
Next steps: staff and council may use the survey results to inform outreach tools, consider targeted affordability studies and continue annual or rolling survey efforts to measure resident sentiment.
