The positive
One of the aspects that improved in the last survey has to do with the people’s satisfaction with education received by children and young people, which increased between 2020 and 2021, going from 79% to 86%, respectively.
Satisfaction with health services also increased, going from 68% to 79%, respectively.
Security was another aspect that showed a positive perception, since 52% of those surveyed said they felt safe in the city, a percentage that had not been seen for 10 years.

Among what did not improve, according to the survey, has to do with citizen optimism. 45% of Medellín residents stated that things in the city were on the right track, which according to MCV “is the lowest level of optimism in 16 years that the Survey has been carried out.”
