Appleton’s Community Concerns survey

The City of Appleton is looking for input from everyone who lives, works, and/or spends a significant amount of time in Appleton to take Appleton’s Community Concerns survey. The data collected will help us better understand the needs and assets in Appleton, especially as they relate to the Social Determinants of Health and wellbeing.

We’ll share this information with our community partners who will work together to address these needs and commemorate the assets. The survey is translated into the top six languages used by families in the Appleton Area School District.

Find the survey and more information on the city of Appleton’s website.
