A majority of Mansfield residents have a positive perception of their city and are more highly satisfied with city services than residents in most other cities in Texas and nationwide. Those are the results of a citywide community satisfaction survey recently presented to the City Council.

More than 3,000 surveys were mailed to a random sampling of Mansfield residents in November. The goal was to receive 400 completed surveys for the data to be statistically valid. Mansfield residents completed 632 surveys.
