Manhattan Beach residents continue to view their City exceptionally favorably, according to results from the 2025 Community Opinion Survey.

The survey of 588 residents, conducted by True North Research in late September and early October, found that 96% of residents rated the overall quality of life in Manhattan Beach as excellent or good. Additionally, 87% expressed satisfaction with the City's performance in providing municipal services.

“These results are truly exceptional and reflect the hard work of our entire team,” said City Manager Talyn Mirzakhanian. “When 96% of residents rate our quality of life as excellent or good, and we see significant improvements in how safe people feel in our community, it shows we're moving in the right direction. We're energized by this feedback and committed to maintaining this momentum.”

Key Findings:
✅94% of residents feel Manhattan Beach is a safe place to live, with a significant increase in those rating the City as "very safe"
✅Highest service satisfaction scores were for graffiti removal (98%), fire protection (97%), and emergency medical services (97%)
✅Top spending priorities identified by residents include fixing potholes and street repairs (92% high or medium priority), improving park maintenance (87%), and upgrading sewer systems (79%)
✅81% of residents are satisfied with the City's communication efforts, up from 75% in 2021

When asked what they like most about Manhattan Beach, residents most frequently cited the small-town feel and beach community vibe, proximity to the ocean, and the City's safety and low crime rate.

The survey results will help guide City Council decisions on budget priorities, service improvements, and policy matters in the coming fiscal year. The complete survey report is available on the City's website: https://www.manhattanbeach.gov/Home/Components/News/News/5803/43
