Mayor of Fishers cites survey reporting nearly universal resident satisfaction and strong feelings of safety
Summary
In a city address, the mayor of Fishers said results from a January 2026 National Citizen Survey — based on nearly 3,000 responses — show 99% of residents rate Fishers positively and 98% say they feel safe; the figures are those reported by the mayor and were not independently verified in the address.
The mayor of Fishers, speaking in a city address, said the city partnered with the National Citizen Survey in January 2026 and that nearly 3,000 residents responded, producing results the city views as evidence of broad resident satisfaction. "99% of residents say the city of Fishers is a great place to live," the mayor said.
The mayor framed the survey as confirmation that Fishers' investments in neighborhoods, parks and public spaces, as well as services such as schools, roads and utilities, are resonating with residents. "From the strength of our economy, to the quality of our schools, to the roads and utilities that keep us running smoothly, Fishers residents affirm that the city delivers where and when it matters most," the mayor said.
On public safety, the mayor cited the survey finding that "98% of residents say they feel safe in their neighborhoods day and night," and attributed that sense of safety to the city's investments in police, emergency medical services and fire prevention.
The address also emphasized civic engagement and trust: the mayor said residents routinely take part in events, volunteer and build neighborhood connections, and that "9 in 10 residents say they have confidence in our government and believe we act in the best interest of the community." The mayor presented these numbers as indicators of strong local trust at a time of broader political polarization.
The figures and statements are presented as the mayor's summary of the National Citizen Survey responses; the address did not provide additional supporting documentation or independent verification of the results. The address offered no formal actions, motions or next procedural steps tied to the survey results.
The mayor closed the address by expressing pride in the city's direction and saying, "As mayor of this great city, I couldn't be more excited to lead us into our next chapter."
