Gilpin County would like to extend a sincere thank-you to everyone who took the time to participate in the 2025 Quality of Life & Communications Survey. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us understand community priorities, identify areas for improvement, and guide future planning.
The survey asked residents about their experiences living in Gilpin County, their top priorities for the future, and how they prefer to receive county news and information. The results will help county leaders and staff improve services, strengthen communication, and ensure decisions reflect the community’s vision and values.
Two clear themes emerged from the survey:
- Road maintenance is the most important priority identified by residents.
- Wildfire mitigation is also a top concern, reflecting the community’s commitment to safety and resilience.
We also want residents to know that this project was conducted completely in-house by existing county staff—no outside firms were hired. This approach kept costs low while still allowing us to gather meaningful feedback from the community.
We are grateful for the thoughtful input provided by so many community members and invite you to review the full results.
Together, we can continue building a strong, connected, and thriving Gilpin County.
