*FEB. 28, 2023*?? The U.S. Census Bureau, in partnership with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA [ [link removed] ]), today announced the launch of the ACCESS BROADBAND Dashboard [ [link removed] ].

ACCESS BROADBAND stands for Advancing Critical Connectivity Expands Service, Small Business Resources, Opportunities, Access, and Data Based on Assessed Need and Demand Act. The new data tool shows how changes in broadband infrastructure expansion may impact local economies.

The dashboard includes a series of maps showing different broadband access measures, as well as economic characteristics that research suggests could be influenced by increased access to broadband. Maps display statistics on employment, small business establishments, wages and income, poverty, home values, population change and migration, educational attainment, and gross domestic product (GDP).

Mapping Impacts of Federal Broadband Investments on Local Communities

Who has access to broadband in your community? What is the demographic and economic profile of the communities that don?t? How could investments in broadband infrastructure impact your local economy?

As part of the?Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, the ACCESS BROADBAND Act of 2021 [ [link removed] ]?charged the?National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) [ [link removed] ]?with tracking federal broadband investment. The legislation requires NTIA to report on the economic impact of federal broadband investments on local economies, including any effect on small businesses or jobs.

The NTIA has been working with the U.S. Census Bureau to develop the?ACCESS BROADBAND Dashboard [ [link removed] ]?as part of this effort.
