has seen a steady increase in shootings since 2018. As part of the URC’s commitment to producing impactful community-empowering research, we are releasing a dashboard to provide in-depth analysis on where shootings are taking place in Norfolk, and the broader socio-economic factors driving gun violence.

The purpose of this dashboard is to empower communities with data about their neighborhoods.

• Underneath each feature window you will find left and right arrows. Use these to navigate to new features, maps, and charts.

• In the upper right corner of each feature, you will find arrows that will make the feature full screen.

• In the upper left corner of each feature you will find the legend, zoom controls (+ & - ), and layer selectors.

• The slider in the middle of each map will display different information. You can click on the data points and neighborhoods on the map to learn more about each one.

• This dashboard is best viewed on a laptop or desktop. Depending on your screen size, some dashboard features may be hidden.

• Shooting incidents are organized as black dots and in hexagons. As shootings increase the color of the hexagons get darker.
