In June and July,  2006, the Center for Survey Research (CSR) at the University of Virginia conducted a telephone survey of 787 residents of Albemarle County, Virginia, on behalf of the County's Board of Supervisors and executive management.            

The purposes of the survey were to determine residents' opinions about quality of life in Albemarle County, to evaluate the importance of a number of services the County provides, to determine their level of satisfaction with these services, and to measure citizen opinion about the way in which the County is managing growth. 

The survey calling was conducted June 28 through July 30, 2006, and resulted in 787 completed interviews. CSR used Random Digit Dialing (RDD) to contact County residents.
