The latest results demonstrate notable movement in community satisfaction compared to initial findings reported in 2017. The 2022 data show significant progress in community morale, with a 20-percentage-point jump in the number of respondents actively promoting Topeka and Shawnee County — moving from 12% in 2017 to 32% in 2022. Meanwhile, those who were actively negative about the community (detractors) fell from 59% in 2017 to 33% in 2022. In total, 67% of those surveyed during the past year would actively or passively recommend the Topeka area to others.
