This API returns broadband summary data by geography IDs for a specific geography type. It is designed to retrieve broadband summary data by geography and census metrics (population or households) combined as search criteria. The data includes wireline and wireless providers, different technologies and broadband speeds reported in the particular area being searched for on a scale of 0 to 1.

The layer "FCC ACP EligibleHH" shows the tracts containing households that meet the Affordable Connectivity household income requirements based on their household size per the data table on the ACP website https://www.affordableconnectivity.gov/do-i-qualify/. This layer is symbolized to show the Median Household Income for all households within a tract. The data was downloaded Feb. 2023 using 5-year ACS data for 2017-2021.Data Processing Note from author:The eligible tracts were determined by 1) Selecting census tracts with centroids that fell within Dallas Proper 2) Applying a filter with a series of "OR" clauses that selected for households that were less than or equal to the ACP threshold median income for the respective household size (Ex. 1-person households whose median income was less than or equal to $27,180).The American Community Survey (ACS) Household dataset (https://dallasgis.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=388cebd5976e49faa77af91a5d73dfee&view=list&sortOrder=desc&sortField=defaultFSOrder#overview) is limited to household sizes with the largest household size being "7 or more." Where the ACP had a median income threshold for household sizes 8 and 9, the threshold for household size 7 was used. Data Update Note:In order to retain historical data, this layer will require an update as the Census Bureau releases new data. The source layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December. The layer always contains the latest available ACS 5-year estimates. It is updated annually within days of the Census Bureau's release schedule.

This service is updated annually to contain the most currently released American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. To see the full list of attributes available in this service, go to the "Data" tab, and choose "Fields" at the top right. Current Vintage: 2017-2021ACS Table(s): B25009, B25010, B19019Data downloaded from: Census Bureau's API for American Community Survey Date of API call: December 8, 2022National Figures: data.census.govData Note from the Census:Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
