Where Community
Meets Data
One Hub. Hyperlocal Data. Real Change.
Using hyperlocal data as a catalyst for change.
Omaha's nonprofit leaders, organizers, and advocates already know their communities. They see the conditions, understand the history, and carry the relationships that no dataset can replace. Our mission is to put real, hyperlocal data into their hands as another tool for that work: for storytelling, for advocacy, for collective action that changes outcomes.
We believe data belongs to the community it describes. When the people closest to a neighborhood also have the numbers behind it, they can make a stronger case to funders, shape sharper programs, and tell the full story of what Omaha's communities are already building.
We're building two resources, with the community, every step of the way.
1
A public dashboard that puts real, local data about health, housing, and opportunity in one place. Instead of hunting across a dozen different sources or wading through numbers that were never meant for a general audience, you'll have one place to see the conditions shaping your neighborhood and your work, so you can spend less time searching and more time acting on what you find.
One Place for Local Data.
2
A series of community gatherings and trainings built around that data, so it doesn't just sit on a screen. Whether you're brand new to working with data or already comfortable with it, you'll have a space to learn how to use it, ask questions, and connect with others doing similar work across Omaha.
A Space to Learn Together.
Let’s build this together.
A few ways to get involved:
Join a quarterly public co-design session and help shape what gets built, from what data matters most to how the trainings should work.
