Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where do people in your community gather or socialize?
  - How and where does your community access services (healthcare, transportation, educational services, etc.)?

Examples of activities and services: Shopping areas, schools and universities, libraries, parks, lakes, rivers, places of worship, healthcare services, public transport, local nonprofit organizations, etc.

Your response: We have parks and libraries that are fairly easy to access on foot or via public transportation. More children have been moving into and being born in our community, and our schools are reaching capacity (some probably need to be rebuilt or retrofitted for earthquake safety). Our parks are extremely well utilized by adults and children (but homeless individuals and camps can make the parks feel less safe).

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What are the cultural bonds in your community?
  - If your community has a shared history, what is it?

Examples of cultural or historical interests: Religious groups, ethnic groups, languages, age groups, immigration status, historic or arts districts, etc.

Your response: Our community is fairly diverse, for Utah. Quite a few refugees have been moved into our community (which is wonderful), and they need additional support for language acquisition to help with getting jobs, affordable housing, access to public transportation, etc. School districts seem to have been working hard to help with the children coming into the system who need support learning a new language while learning about their new country. Our community offers multiple festivals, particularly in the summer and fall, dedicated to celebrating the diverse ethnic and artistic cultures in our population.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: Our community suffers from extremely poor air quality. Being near the airport, our air pollution problems are evident to visitors/tourists flying in from around the world. We are also suffering a huge increase in the numbers of homeless individuals and families; their issues are diverse and not fully researched or understood. Housing is getting to be too expensive, which complicates the homelessness issues.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: This is an urban community. We need a representative who is focused on the needs of urban communities (affordable housing, clean air, access to more public transportation, more/safer school buildings and teachers). It doesn't make sense to divide our community up and spread it to other districts that are more rural and have very different issues (farming, mining, etc.)
