These three maps provide an integrated analysis of socioeconomic well-being and change in Nashville. The analysis centers on three key, interrelated areas: 1) Gentrification Pressure: Community Change and Gentrification, 2) Economic Opportunity: Wages and Economic Opportunity, and 3) Community Vulnerability: Poverty and Social Risk.
Together, these maps function as a tool to visualize the complex interplay between investment, infrastructure, and concentrated disadvantage across Nashville's neighborhoods.
The Community Change and Gentrification map identifies areas where a combination of rising income, housing value, and development (building permits, short-term rentals) is causing rapid demographic shifts and displacement pressure.
The Wages map explores how median wage levels and the presence of uninsured populations intersect with public transit access, illustrating the factors that shape residents' economic mobility.
The Poverty and Social Risk map highlights communities facing overlapping challenges by layering poverty and uninsured rates with indicators of social vulnerability, such as concentrated crime and property issues.

It summarizes The 3 Missions—the key socioeconomic analyses driving the map—and how to use the Mappler controls to explore data density and layer overlaps.
