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?charged the?National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)?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?as part of this effort.

The interactive dashboard includes a series of maps displaying statistics on broadband access as well as select social and economic characteristics. All maps are available for U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and counties. Most maps also include statistics for Puerto Rico.
