1992: A survey conducted by Clovis Community College found that 86 percent of city residents considered Clovis a "good" or "excellent" place to live.

Nearly 1,000 people responded to the survey.

The survey also revealed 72 percent of city residents purchased groceries in Clovis, while 44 percent purchased clothing in town.

Sixty-five percent of those responding to the survey said they use Clovis medical services.
