The Social Trust Map is a special online tool that shows how well neighbors help and connect with each other across the United States. Created by Weave at the Aspen Institute, this interactive map looks at three key areas: how people act to help others, how they show they care, and what places exist for people to meet and connect. The map gives every neighborhood a trust score to show where communities are strong and where they need more support.
Community organizers can use this tool to find neighborhoods that work well together and areas that need help building connections. Local governments can make better decisions about where to spend money on community programs. Nonprofit leaders can figure out where to focus their work.
Regular people can explore their own neighborhoods to find ways to get involved and help build stronger communities. The map updates regularly with new information and shows trends over time. Users can spend 15-30 minutes exploring the map to understand their area better and compare it to nearby neighborhoods.
This tool helps communities build trust, belonging, and support at the local level by showing where connection is already happening and where more work is needed.
