The main way in which local governments will likely analyze survey data is by using simple tables and charts. Tables showing the percentage of respondents that answer questions in a certain way contain information that may be immediately useful to the local government. Depending upon the questions asked, the local government can begin to get an overall view of the predominant knowledge, attitudes, practices, needs, wants and desires of its citizens. When these results are broken down by geographic area, they become even more useful--not only can the local government understand what the prevalent thinking is, it can apply this information to different geographic locations within its jurisdiction.
