2019 City of Miami Beach Resident Survey
Executive Summary OVERVIEW AND METHODOLOGY Overview
ETC Institute administered a resident survey for the City of Miami Beach between January and March of 2019. The purpose of the survey was to objectively assess satisfaction among residents with the delivery of city services and to gather input about priorities for the City. This is the second time ETC Institute administered a survey for the City of Miami Beach; previous surveys were conducted in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2014 and 2016.
This report contains: A summary of the methodology for administering the survey and major findings Resident survey findings, including charts and graphs, overall trends, Importance-
Satisfaction priorities analysis, benchmarking comparisons to other communities, and the survey instrument
Supplemental data from the resident survey, including GIS maps and crosstabulations, are published separately as Appendix A
Methodology
ETC Institute selected a random sample of households for the survey. The sample was address-based, and the households were selected at random from all known residential addresses in the City of Miami Beach. This method ensured that each household in the City had an equal probability of being selected for the survey. Survey packets were then mailed to each of the households selected for the random sample. The survey packets contained a cover letter, a copy of the survey, and a postage-paid, return envelope.

A few days after the surveys were mailed, ETC Institute sent emails and placed phone calls to households in the random sample to encourage participation. The emails contained a link to the on-line version of the survey to make it easy for residents to complete the survey. To prevent the responses from people who were not part of the random sample from being blended with those who were selected for the random sample, everyone who completed the survey on-line was required to enter their home address prior to submitting the survey. ETC Institute then matched the addresses that were entered on-line with the addresses that were originally selected for the random sample. If the address from a survey completed on-line did not match one of the addresses selected for the random sample, the on-line survey was not counted as part of the random sample. A total of 1,324 residents from the random sample completed the survey: 851 were completed by mail, 411 on-line, and 62 by phone. The results for the random sample of 1,324 households have a 95% level of confidence with a precision rate of at least +/- 2.7%. The geographic and demographic composition of the random sample reflected the most recent Census estimates for the City’s population. The percentage of “don’t know” and “no opinion” responses has been excluded from graphs to facilitate valid comparisons to previous years and to other communities in ETC Institute’s national survey database. Location of Respondents
To better understand how well services are being delivered in different parts of the City, the home and addresses of the respondents to the survey were geocoded.
Resident Survey Map. The dots on the map on the following page show the distribution of survey respondents based on the location of their home. Appendix A-1 of the report contains maps that show how respondents in different areas of the survey rated a wide range of City services.

Perceptions of the City. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of the residents surveyed were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the City of Miami Beach as a place to live; 79% were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the quality of life in the City, and 73% were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the overall image of the City. Residents were least satisfied with City regulation of commercial development (33% “very satisfied” or “satisfied”).
OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT In order to help the City identify opportunities for improvement, ETC Institute conducted an Importance-Satisfaction (I-S) Priorities Analysis. This analysis examined the importance that residents placed on each City service and the level of satisfaction with each service. By identifying services of high importance and low satisfaction, the analysis identified which services will have the most impact on overall satisfaction with City services in the future. If the City wants to improve its overall satisfaction rating, the City should prioritize improvements in services with the highest Importance-Satisfaction (I-S) ratings. Details regarding the methodology for the analysis are provided in the Importance-Satisfaction section of this report.
Based on the results of the Importance-Satisfaction (I-S) Priorities Analysis, ETC Institute recommends the following:

DirectionFinder® SurveyYear 2019 Benchmarking Summary Report
Overview ETC Institute's DirectionFinder® program was originally developed in 1999 to help community leaders across the United States use statistically valid community survey data as a tool for making better decisions. Since November 1999, the survey has been administered in more than 300 cities and counties in 43 states. Most participating communities conduct the survey on an annual or biennial basis.
This report contains benchmarking data from two sources. The first source is from a national survey that was administered by ETC Institute during the Summer of 2018 that is part of a random sample of more than 4,000 residents in the continental United States. The second source is from a regional survey administered to a random sample of more than 300 residents in Florida during the Summer of 2018.
The “U.S. Average” shown in the charts reflects the overall results of ETC Institute’s national survey of more than 4,000 residents; the “Florida Average” shown in the charts reflects the results of the regional survey of more than 300 residents in Florida.

Importance‐Satisfaction Analysis Miami Beach, Florida
Overview
Today, city officials have limited resources which need to be targeted to activities that are of the most benefit to their citizens. Two of the most important criteria for decision making are (1) to target resources toward services of the highest importance to citizens; and (2) to target resources toward those services where citizens are the least satisfied.
The Importance‐Satisfaction (IS) rating is a unique tool that allows public officials to better understand both of these highly important decision making criteria for each of the services they are providing. The Importance‐Satisfaction rating is based on the concept that cities will maximize overall citizen satisfaction by emphasizing improvements in those service categories where the level of satisfaction is relatively low and the perceived importance of the service is relatively high.
MethodologyThe rating is calculated by summing the percentage of responses for items selected as the first, second, and third most important services for the City to emphasize over the next two years. This sum is then multiplied by 1 minus the percentage of respondents that indicated they were positively satisfied with the City's performance in the related area (the sum of the ratings of 3 and 4 on a 4‐point scale excluding “don't know” responses). “Don't know” responses are excluded from the calculation to ensure that the satisfaction ratings among service categories are comparable. [IS=Importance x (1‐Satisfaction)].
Example of the Calculation. Respondents were asked to identify the major City services they thought were the most important for the City to provide. Approximately twenty‐six percent (26.3%) selected “condition of streets” as one of the most important major City services for the City to provide.

ce‐Satisfaction Analysis
With regard to satisfaction, 46.5% of the residents surveyed rated their overall satisfaction with “condition of streets” as a “3” or a “4” on a 4‐point scale (where “4” means “excellent”). The I‐S rating for “condition of streets” was calculated by multiplying the sum of the most important percentages by 1 minus the sum of the satisfaction percentages. In this example, 26.3% was multiplied by 53.5% (1‐0.465). This calculation yielded an I‐S rating of 0.1407, which ranked second out of twenty‐eight major City services.
The maximum rating is 1.00 and would be achieved when 100% of the respondents select an item as one of their top three choices to emphasize over the next two years and 0% indicate that they are positively satisfied with the delivery of the service.
The lowest rating is 0.00 and could be achieved under either one of the following two situations:
if 100% of the respondents were positively satisfied with the delivery of the service
if none (0%) of the respondents selected the service as one of the three mostimportant areas for the City to emphasize over the next two years.
Interpreting the Ratings
Ratings that are greater than or equal to 0.20 identify areas that should receive significantly more emphasis over the next two years. Ratings from .10 to .20 identify service areas that should receive increased emphasis. Ratings less than .10 should continue to receive the current level of emphasis.
Definitely Increase Emphasis (IS>=0.20)
Increase Current Emphasis (0.10<=IS<0.20)
Maintain Current Emphasis (IS<0.10)

Note: The I-S Rating is calculated by multiplying the "Most Important" % by (1-'Satisfaction' %)
Most Important %: The "Most Important" percentage represents the sum of the first, second, third,fourth and fifth most important responses for each item. Respondents were askedto identify the items they thought were most important for the City to provide.
Satisfaction %: The rating percentage represents the sum of the ratings "3" and "4" excluding 'don't knows.'Respondents ranked their level of satisfaction with the each of the items on a scaleof 1 to 4 with "4" being "excellent" and "1" being "poor."

Importance‐Satisfaction Matrix Analysis
The Importance‐Satisfaction rating is based on the concept that public agencies will maximize overall customer satisfaction by emphasizing improvements in those areas where the level of satisfaction is relatively low and the perceived importance of the service is relatively high. ETC Institute developed an Importance‐Satisfaction Matrix to display the perceived importance of major services that were assessed on the survey against the perceived quality of service delivery. The two axes on the matrix represent Satisfaction (vertical) and relative Importance (horizontal).
The I‐S (Importance‐Satisfaction) matrix should be interpreted as follows.
Continued Emphasis (above average importance and above averagesatisfaction). This area shows where the City is meeting customer expectations.Items in this area have a significant impact on the customer’s overall level ofsatisfaction. The City should maintain (or slightly increase) emphasis on items inthis area.
Exceeding Expectations (below average importance and above averagesatisfaction). This area shows where the City is performing significantly betterthan customers expect the City to perform. Items in this area do not significantlyaffect the overall level of satisfaction that residents have with City services. TheCity should maintain (or slightly decrease) emphasis on items in this area.
Opportunities for Improvement (above average importance and below averagesatisfaction). This area shows where the City is not performing as well asresidents expect the City to perform. This area has a significant impact oncustomer satisfaction, and the City should DEFINITELY increase emphasis onitems in this area.
Less Important (below average importance and below average satisfaction).This area shows where the City is not performing well relative to the City’sperformance in other areas; however, this area is generally considered to be lessimportant to residents. This area does not significantly affect overall satisfactionwith City services because the items are less important to residents. The agencyshould maintain current levels of emphasis on items in this area.
