Announcing Nextdoor’s new Insights Hub

Today, Nextdoor is excited to announce the launch of our brand new Insights Hub, a destination for all of the latest neighborhood trends. The Insights Hub features all of our best findings from internal data, neighbor surveys and third party research partner GWI, including topics like the power of proximity when making purchase decisions, the influence of business and product recommendations from neighbors, the importance of making meaningful connections in neighbors’ community and what neighbors look for and expect from brands.

Neighbors come to Nextdoor for the utility and stay for the community. Our insights offer a comprehensive look at what’s currently trending in neighborhoods and amongst neighbors to help consumers and brands stay informed and make data-driven decisions. To capture these trends, we looked at internal data, polled Nextdoor neighbors about what matters most to them, and worked with third party research partners, including GWI. 

Our latest Insights report, Influence Through Neighbor Recommendations, recently launched this month with new data showing how important neighbor recommendations can be when it comes to making purchasing decisions.
