The eight measures here represent key data about Bellevue's performance serving the Innovative, Vibrant and Caring Community budget outcome. Most are resident responses to the annual Performance Measures survey. Some measures are annual and some are quarterly. 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 diverse community where there are opportunities for all generations to live well, work and play;

- A "City in a Park."
