Your Voice Matters: Help Shape the Future
Every community changes over time, and one of the best ways to understand those changes is by hearing directly from the people who live there. That is why Florida Atlantic University invites residents of Abacoa, the Heights in Jupiter, and Coleman Park, Pleasant City, Historic Northwest in WPB to take part in the 2026 Community Quality of Life Survey. Learn more at www.cues.fau.edu/survey.
The 2026 survey continues an ongoing study to understand how residents of West Palm Beach and Jupiter neighborhoods experience their community. It asks about topics such as neighborhood satisfaction, transportation, parks and open spaces, housing, community connections, and health. This year’s survey includes new questions about housing affordability.
The survey only takes a few minutes to complete, and we encourage all residents to take part by September 30, 2026. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
For more information, please contact Serena Hoermann, PhD ([email protected]) or Yanmei Li, PhD ([email protected]).
