Abstract
As part of the Global Honors Scholars Collaborative, researchers aggregated data from The Belmont Data Collaborative to analyze the three primary ZIP codes (37211, 37013, 37217) served by The Branch of Nashville. These communities include immigrant and refugee populations, whom The Branch supports through its food bank, English classes, and further comprehensive care. Future program development will rely on the analysis of the current client base and eventual assessment of The Branch’s economic impact on the surrounding community. The goal of this research for The Branch of Nashville is twofold: (1) analyze the existing demographics within the above ZIP codes and (2) identify additional metrics the non-profit should collect for future economic impact analysis. The final deliverable includes a demographic report and recommendations for sustainable data collection by The Branch and its partners.
