To find the percentage of residents who thought the city should devote more funds to repair roads, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of residents who support more funding}}{\text{Total number of residents surveyed}} \right) \times 100
\]
Plugging in the numbers:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{865}{2330} \right) \times 100
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Percentage} \approx 0.3712 \times 100 \approx 37.12\%
\]
Rounding to the nearest percent, the estimate is:
\[
\boxed{37} \, \%
\]
