Executive Summary
Purpose and Methodology
ETC Institute administered the 2035 Master Plan Survey for the Town of Parker, Colorado during
March and April of 2011. The survey was administered as part of the Town’s update of the 2035
Master Plan. In addition, residents were asked about satisfaction with the quality of services and
planning efforts provided by the Town. The information gathered from the survey will help the
Town refine policy decisions and direction for growth.
Resident Survey. A five-page survey was administered by phone to a random sample of
households in the Town of Parker. Of the households that were called, 400 completed the survey.
The results for the random sample of 400 households have a
Location of Survey Respondents by Study Regions
95% level of confidence with a precision of at least +/- 5%.
In order to better understand how well services are being
delivered by the Town, ETC Institute geocoded the home
address of respondents to the survey. The map to the right
shows the physical distribution of survey respondents based
on the location of their home.
The percentage of “don’t know” responses has been
excluded from many of the graphs shown in this report to
facilitate valid comparisons of the results from the Town of
Parker with the results from other communities in the
DirectionFinder® database. Since the number of “don’t
know” responses often reflects the utilization and awareness
of town services, the percentage of “don’t know” responses
has been provided in the tabular data section of this report.
When the “don’t know” responses have been excluded, the
text of this report will indicate that the responses have been
excluded with the phrase “who had an opinion.”

How Parker Compares to Other Communities
Parker is setting the standard with regard to the overall quality of many services in the US
and in the Mountain Region. This survey was focused on updating the direction of the 2035
Master Plan for Parker and many questions were growth related. Only eight of the questions
could be benchmarked with the US and Mountain Region data, but in all eight categories, ratings
for Parker significantly exceeded both the US and the Region. The 8 areas were;




Overall image of the Town
Overall quality of Town services
provided
Overall quality of life in the Town
How well the Town is planning
growth




Overall appearance of the Town
The availability of information about
Town services and programs
Town Efforts to keep residents
informed
How open the Town is to public
involvement and input
Major Findings
 The Importance of Various Indicators to Choosing a Community in which to Live.
Residents were asked to choose from a list of 14 issues which were the most important to
their decision to move to a community. The top four reasons were; 1st) overall quality of
life, 2nd) overall feeling of safety, 3rd) a good place to raise children, and 4th) appearance of
the Town.
With the same issues, residents were asked if their needs were being met in Parker.
A comparison of the order of “need” vs. “need being met” indicated that Parker is doing
an excellent job of meeting 13 of those needs.



Overall quality of life – 1st in importance – 2nd at being met
Overall feeling of safety – 2nd in importance – 1st at being met
A good place to raise children – 3rd in importance – 3rd at being met
The appearance of the Town – 4th in importance – 4th at being met
The one topic that indicated unmet need was shopping and dining opportunities.

Most of the residents will still live in Parker in five years. Eighty-four percent
(84%) of the residents surveyed who had an opinion were likely to be living in Parker in
five years (71% very likely and 13% somewhat likely). An additional 7% were not sure and
8% were not likely to still be living in Parker in five years.
 Perceptions of the Town. Most (94%) of the residents surveyed who had an opinion (rating
of 4 or 5 on a 5 point scale) indicated that they were satisfied with the feeling of safety in
Parker, 91% were satisfied with the overall quality of life in the Town, and 85% were
satisfied with Parker as a place to live.

of services provided by the Town, and 73% were satisfied with the efforts to keep them

and their importance to their household. The top five issues were; 1) public safety, 2)
walking and bicycle trails, 3) well maintained roads, 4) open space in Parker, and 5) the
physical appearance of the Town.
 Growth and Development Issues. Managed growth is important to the residents and
several questions addressed growth options for Parker;

young adults to continue to live in Parker when they leave home – 34% disagree,

GIS Mapping
The maps on the following pages show the mean ratings for several
questions on the survey by Census Block Group. A Census Block Group is
an area defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, which is generally smaller than a
zip code but larger than a neighborhood.
If all areas on a map are the same color, then residents generally feel the
same about that issue regardless of the location of their home.
When reading the maps, please use the following color scheme as a guide:
 DARK/LIGHT BLUE shades indicate POSITIVE ratings. Shades of
blue generally indicate satisfaction with a service.
 OFF-WHITE shades indicate NEUTRAL ratings. Shades of neutral
generally indicate that residents thought the quality of service delivery is
adequate.
 ORANGE/RED shades indicate NEGATIVE ratings. Shades of
orange/red generally indicate dissatisfaction with a service.
