Citizen survey says: Stafford is safe, transportation network stinks

Winding Creek Road in Stafford County [VDOT]
Stafford County is a great place to live and to raise a family. But don't try to drive anywhere.

County government staff presented the findings of the community survey regarding the livability of the county. Conducted by the National Survey Center at Polco, it was developed by asking county residents about livability through 10 facets and based the results on the opinions given by those residents. 

The sample group gave a positive review of 75 percent for safety. Three out of four residents gave Stafford excellent ratings as a place to live and raise children. Further, seven of 10 residents said that they would recommend the county as a good place to live and an area where they would plan to remain for the next five years.
