2025 Shorewood Community Survey

The 2025 Community Survey closed on Friday, May 23. Survey results will be presented and discussed at the June 9, 2025 City Council Work Session.

The 2025 Shorewood Community Survey provided residents the opportunity to rate the quality of life in the city, as well as the service delivery and overall workings of local government. The survey also gave residents a chance to provide feedback to the City on what is working well and what is not, and share their priorities for community planning and resource allocation. 

The 2025 Community Survey was made available online April 14 to May 23, 2025. Print copies of the survey were also available. A total of 301 surveys were received. 295 surveys were completed online and 6 surveys in paper form were received.  

This is the first general survey of Shorewood residents that the City has conducted since the 2011 Shorewood, MN Citizen Survey (PDF), in which 613 completed surveys were received. 2025 survey results have been summarized in the document below. 

It is important to note that, unlike past community surveys, the 2025 survey is not a statistical sampling of the community. Although questions were similar or identical to those used in past surveys, the 2025 survey was open and available to anyone to complete.

The results of this survey will help the City of Shorewood understand priorities, inform decisions, and track community opinions about the core responsibilities of Shorewood city government, helping to assure maximum service quality over time. Of course, residents may always contact council members or staff, participate in open houses and events, or attend public meetings to share insights and comments about Shorewood.
