Mayor and City Council A few notes about this report Community Snapshot uses a broad range of data sources, including City of Eugene databases, Federal government statistics, and surveys. In most cases, data are reported on afiscal-year rather than calendar-year basis. The measures tied to the Eugene Community Survey used the most up-to- datedata for each measure, and the data-collection month and year are noted. Where to find more information The indicators included in this report were selected because they shed light on the City's performance in those areas most closely related to City Council goals and because they focus both on the outcomes community members have identified as most important and on the most-used services. Community Snapshot is meant to provide a quick, read-in-one-sitting summary of key measures rather than a complete and comprehensive review of all Ciry services.
