A recent Nicosia Municipality press release said that notable points from the research for Nicosia include the high priority given to road congestion, reaching a percentage of 67.2%. This is followed by housing at 51.3% and corruption with safety in third and fourth place at 45.4%.

In the "Structures" pillar of the Health & Safety category, 69.5% of citizens consider the coverage of sanitation needs in the poorest areas significant, and 47.1% consider recycling services important. Public safety follows at 48.3%. In the Mobility sector, 13.0% responded that traffic congestion is not a problem, and 15.3% find public transportation satisfactory.
