Nash Services

Nash Services is a proximity search tool for Nashville's public data. Pick a dataset, enter an address, and see what's nearby on the map.

Where does the data come from?

All data comes from Nashville Open Data via the Metro Nashville ArcGIS FeatureServer. There are 300+ datasets available — police dispatch, 311 requests, building permits, road closures, fire incidents, short-term rental permits, and more. We scraped every published feed and dropped the ones that had no useful geographic data.

What do the status colors mean?

Some datasets (like active police dispatch) are polled regularly, so records have a freshness status:

• Live — currently active; still present in the latest poll of the source feed
• Recent — disappeared from the feed within the last few hours (e.g. a dispatch call that was cleared)
• Older — no longer in the live feed; kept in the local cache for historical context

Most datasets aren't polled and don't show these statuses — they just return the current snapshot from ArcGIS.
