The seven measures here represent key data about Bellevue's
performance serving the Economic Growth and Competitiveness budget
outcome. Operational data and resident responses to the annual Performance Measures survey
are presented graphically below. Most measures are annual.
Operational data come with targets or thresholds, illustrated by green
lines. In some cases, the city aims to provide services that meet or
exceed the target. In other cases, staying below the green line
indicates quality service. Targets are assessed regularly and are based
on previous experiences and future expectations.
As a community, Bellevue values:
- A community that grows in ways that add value to our quality of life and enhance the opportunity for economic prosperity; and
- A business environment that is competitive, supports entrepreneurs,
