Somerville Happiness Survey Responses

Every two years, the City of Somerville sends out a happiness survey to a random sample of Somerville residents. The survey asks residents to rate their personal happiness, wellbeing, and satisfaction with City services. This combined dataset includes the survey responses from 2011 to 2019. The surveys are attached as PDFs.

Within the data, an NA or blank indicates that the question was not asked during the identified year while a "999" indicates a nonresponse to a question which was asked.
