Kaysville survey seeks input on community well-being

Apr 29, 2026 11:52AM ● By Cindi Mansell

City officials are urging residents to take part in a brief but impactful survey that could help shape the future of their community. The 2026 Utah Wellbeing Survey, part of the broader Utah Wellbeing Project led by researchers at Utah State University, is now open. Kaysville residents are encouraged to spend about 10 minutes completing the questionnaire, which gathers insight into how people across the state perceive their quality of life.

Kaysville is among dozens of cities participating in the statewide effort, which aims to better understand the conditions that contribute to well-being in Utah communities. Survey results will be shared with local leaders and used to inform planning and policy decisions.

“This is an opportunity for residents to have a direct voice in the future of Kaysville,” city officials said. “The feedback helps us better understand what matters most to our community.” Researchers say past survey results have revealed both strengths and challenges in Northern Utah communities, offering valuable guidance for city leaders.

The survey explores a wide range of topics, including personal well-being, financial stability, access to recreation, and perceptions of growth and economic development. It also asks residents how connected they feel to their community and what they value most about living in Kaysville.

Participation is open to adults 18 and older who live in Kaysville, either full or part time. While the survey does not collect identifying information, participants are advised that open-ended responses may include details that could be recognizable. However, all public reporting is conducted at the city level, not the individual level.

Respondents may skip any questions they prefer not to answer, and officials ask that residents complete the survey only once. De-identified data may be retained for future research.

The study can be accessed at https://tinyurl.com/Kaysville2026 and has been approved by the Utah State University Institutional Review Board. Those with questions about the survey can contact project lead Courtney Flint at (435) 797-8635 or [email protected]..
