Following significant shifts in federal funding priorities, the County undertook a budget-related survey to better understand how residents want local resources prioritized.

With nearly half of the County’s budget dependent on state and federal dollars, this survey gathered input from a representative sample of residents across all five districts to assess public sentiment on budget priorities, fiscal trade-offs, and service expectations.

All of the results of that survey are public and a summary of the findings can be viewed in a PowerPoint linked down below. For additional publicly available materials such as survey questions and methodology, results, and crosstabs, please email Spencer.Katz@sdcounty.ca.gov.
