Resident Survey

This survey is intended to collect data from adult residents (18 years and older) as it relates to internet access, digital skills, internet uses, and outcomes resulting from internet use. The survey consists of 30 questions and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Responses will be fully anonymous, that is, we will not ask you for any personally identifying information, and no individual responses will be published. Survey data allows us to provide baseline data to measure growth across digital opportunities in your county.
