Committee reviews Huber Heights demographic data to guide outreach
Summary
The committee received a demographic breakout tied to the American Community Survey. Aaron (city staff) will email a detailed Census Reporter link; members discussed using a forthcoming resident satisfaction survey and targeted outreach rather than waiting for residents to come to meetings.
The Chair introduced a demographic breakdown for Huber Heights and asked members to consider target audiences for outreach. Aaron, a city staff member, said he would email a link to detailed Census Reporter and American Community Survey data so committee members can examine race, ethnicity, housing and population figures on a computer rather than only in print.
Members agreed the committee should proactively reach out to minority groups rather than wait for them to attend meetings. Aaron also noted the city will run a scientifically based resident satisfaction survey this summer (conducted every other year) and suggested the committee could include questions to inform programming. "We will have a scientific sample, across the city," he said, noting the last survey occurred two years ago.
