Empowering communities through integrated data on socioeconomic well-being and change in Nashville
Seeing is a great start — and it’s a powerful one.
A map won’t answer every question, but it helps us ask the right questions, fast.
After sharing our Nashville Winter Shelter Locations map (Jan 29, 2026), a few people raised an important concern:
“Is recovery reaching everyone the same way?”
I take that as a healthy sign—people care, and they’re paying attention.
So we updated the map by overlaying NES power outages (roughly, 1/29/2026 from: https://www.nespower.com/outages/#) and adding context layers that matter during extreme cold: transit routes/stops, poverty, households with no vehicle, age 65+, disability, housing cost burden, and more.
The goal is simple: help Nashville see where support is working well—and where we can strengthen coverage so no one is missed.

Seeing doesn’t replace analysis.
But it sparks collaboration—and that’s how better solutions start.
