Last year Los Alamos County surveyed residents on how they thought local government is doing. The County recently released the survey results and overall, residents gave the County strong marks.
The survey is conducted biannually, Los Alamos County Public Information Officer Julie Habiger said. The 2020 survey had about 600 participants, who were selected through randomized address generation. The participants were sent postcards and letters and encouraged to either take the survey online or fill out the paper form and mail it back in. The results were compared with other municipalities to see how Los Alamos measures up.
