About these findings
These percentages reflect responses to the anonymous Your Experience Matters community survey, conducted in 2025 and 2026. The results describe the experiences of people who chose to participate and should not be interpreted as representative of everyone in the region.
For questions where participants could select more than one option, percentages will not add up to 100%. To protect privacy, we do not publish individual responses, names, contact details or small demographic breakdowns.
