Your support during our year-end campaign will help power our independent reporting in 2025 and beyond.
In a conversation with Robert Rivard on the bigcitysmalltown podcast, CPOR’s inaugural director Dr. Bryan Gervais shares how the research center came to be and its future goals for Bexar County. “We finally had a little bit of funding to operate at the start of this year… So, we jumped into it right away,” Gervais said. “Our first goal was to get a pilot poll in before Super Tuesday… and we did.”
The goal is for the panel to consist of 5,000 randomly selected residents who will be surveyed over time, helping track local attitudes on financial stability, health issues, housing affordability, opinions on schools and education and emergency preparedness.
