Northwest Iowa — You may soon see a survey in your mailbox, and everyone who gets The Iowa Small Town Poll is strongly encouraged to fill it out.
Iowa State University Professor of Sociology, David Peters, says the survey used to be conducted just once each decade.
The polls are now going out every other year and Peters says that’s providing better benchmarks.
Peters says the topics in this year’s survey will focus on four areas.
The fourth topic will focus on water quality. The survey will be mailed to select recipients across Iowa in towns with populations ranging from 500 to ten-thousand. The surveys take 20 to 25 minutes to complete and respondents will be entered in a drawing to receive one of 30 gift cards worth $100 each. The results will be released next spring.
