Issues

Neighborhood Nexus compiles and analyzes a host of data and information about the issues that affect the Atlanta region. We are currently acquiring data, cleaning, processing and analyzing that data to develop indicators in the broad areas of Health, Wealth and Wisdom. We hope to have these indicators complete by Summer of 2010. In the meantime, here is some of the data we have already collected that tell a compelling story about the Atlanta region.
