The Kewanee Voice is launching a brief community survey to better understand how residents feel about quality of life in Kewanee and across Henry County.

According to the most recent census, Henry County is home to roughly 48,000 people, with Kewanee as the largest city at about 12,000 residents.

Quality of life is widely recognized as a key measure of a community’s overall health because it reflects how well a city meets the physical, social, economic and environmental needs of its residents.

Research shows that communities that prioritize quality of life often see stronger civic engagement, better public health and more stable long‑term growth — all factors that contribute to a thriving, resilient community.

Take the survey: How are we doing? Community Quality of Life Survey

This 10‑question survey asks about local services, housing, recreation, job opportunities and overall community satisfaction.

Your responses will help to highlight what matters most to the people who live and work here and guide future reporting on issues that shape daily life.

The survey takes only a few minutes to complete, and every response adds meaningful insight.

We appreciate your input and encourage all county residents to participate.
