What We Heard From Rowlett Residents

Earlier this year, the City of Rowlett partnered with ETC Institute to gather resident feedback on City services, quality of life and community priorities. The statistically valid survey included responses from 452 randomly selected households, offering a community-wide look at how residents feel about Rowlett.


The results highlight strengths in public safety, opportunities to improve transportation infrastructure and areas where residents would like to see continued progress. Following the September 16 Community Town Hall, the feedback will help inform ongoing strategic planning. 

Visit the website landing page to explore the full findings, review survey documents and learn how resident input will help inform what comes next.
