According to a recent survey, people love living in Fruita.

The city sent out surveys to every home over the summer and the results were released this week.

City Manager Mike Bennett said more than 95 percent of people rated the overall quality of Fruita as 'excellent' or 'very good.' Meanwhile, 84 percent rated the overall quality of services provided as 'excellent' or 'very good.;

Those two categories put Fruita a notch above other cities. The average of Fruita's overall satisfaction rating was 35 percent above all U.S. cities, Bennett said.

It's a number that doesn't really surprise Aaron Knapp, who works at Hot Tomato.

"You feel this community and see everyone stoked about the parts that represent them,” Knapp said.

While the numbers are great overall Knapp does see room for improvement, like opportunities for more restaurant and nightlife.

The survey also shows what people want the city to focus on.

"That ended up being the quality of city streets, and effectiveness of communication between the city and the public, and the flow of traffic and congestion in the city,” said Bennett.

With this information, the city knows where to put its resources.

"We will continue to see the satisfaction levels increase and continue to provide a high level of service,” said Bennett.

The last survey was completed in 2013, and this year's survey shows that satisfaction ratings increased in nearly all of the areas since then.

Out of the 4,700 surveys sent out, the city said it got 872 back. Their goal was 400.
