We’re excited to share the results of the 2025 National Community Survey (NCS), conducted in partnership with Polco, a national leader in civic engagement and public opinion research. Every two years, Rocklin participates in this comprehensive survey to better understand the priorities, satisfaction, and experiences of our residents. Your feedback plays a vital role in shaping the future of our city.

Thank you to everyone who participated! This year’s results highlight many of the things we love most about Rocklin—and also point to opportunities for growth and improvement.

High Ratings Across the Board

Nine out of ten residents rated Rocklin as an excellent or good place to live and raise a family—well above the national benchmark. Residents gave especially high marks in areas like:

• Safety
• Parks and Recreation
• The Natural Environment
• Local Economy

Over 80% of respondents rated these services as “good” or “excellent,” and 93% identified safety as “essential” or “very important.”

Community Priorities

Other top priorities included:

• Utilities (92%)
• Economy (88%)
• Parks and Recreation (85%)

These insights help us ensure city services are aligned with what matters most to you.

Opportunities for Improvement

While many areas are thriving, the survey also revealed a few key challenges. Compared to 2023, residents expressed increased concerns about:

• Community Design
• Health and Wellness
• Inclusivity and Engagement

These shifts point to broader conversations about growth, housing affordability, and building a welcoming, inclusive Rocklin for all.
