ABOUT THE SURVEY

NashvilleHealth and the Metro Public Health Department (MPHD) partnered to field the Nashville Community Health + Well-being Survey. Available in English and Spanish, this first-of-a-kind large-scale assessment was mailed to 12,000 Davidson County households and garnered a 15 percent response rate. A total of 1,805 respondents aged 18 and over answered either online or via a mailed paper questionnaire. The results are weighted to reflect the latest Census estimates for Davidson County and presented citywide and also broken down by gender, age, ethnicity, education, employment status, annual household income, sexual orientation, and geographic zones of Davidson County (East, Promise Zone, North West, South East, South West).
