This layer is no longer being actively maintained. For the latest broadband availability data from FCC, please see the FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC). This layer shows fixed broadband availability for every neighborhood in the U.S. and outlying areas for June 2023.This layer is a composite of five sublayers with adjacent scale ranges showing the broadband score across the U.S. and outlying areas, at five different geographies – State, County, Tract, Block Group and Block. The broadband score is an index based on the FCC’s minimum standard of broadband of 25 megabits per second (Mbps) download and 3 Mbps upload. A geography with speeds of 25/3 Mbps is awarded 100 points. Each type of geometry contains housing, population, and internet usage data taken from the following sources:US Census Bureau 2010 Census data (2010)USDA Non-Rural Areas (2013)FCC Form 477 Fixed Broadband Deployment Data (January - June 2021)FCC Population, Housing Unit, and Household Estimates (2019). Note that these are derived from Census and other data.Measurement Lab (Jan - June 2021)Broadband offering data from each provider for all geographies are available in related tables. Field Names / Record StructureThis layer includes over 150 attributes relating to reported speed and service information. In addition:Each block includes housing unit, household, and population estimates from the FCC.Each block has an attribute named WaterOnly that indicates if it is entirely water (yes/no).Each block has two attributes indicating whether it is urban or rural (CensusUrbanRural and USDAUrbanRural). For units larger than blocks, block count (urban/rural) was used to determine this. Some tracts and block groups have an equal number of urban and rural blocks—so a new coded value was introduced: S (split). All blocks are either U or R, while tracts and block groups can be U, R, or S.Each block has three attributes indicating whether it is part of a Tribal Block Group, is part of an American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Area (AIANNHA) and the AIANNHA name.US Census and USDA Rurality valuesAmalgamated broadband speed measurement categories based on Form 477. These include:99: All Terrestrial Broadband Plus Satellite98: All Terrestrial Broadband97: Cable Modem96: DSL95: All Other (Electric Power Line, Other Copper Wireline, Other)The FCC Speed Values method is applied to all speeds from all data sources within this service. This includes:Geography: State, County, Tract, Block Group, BlockData source: FCC and M-LabWithin this method, speed values are shown as such:<1 Mbps, reported up to three decimal points>= 1 and < 2 Mbps, rounded to the nearest tenth>= 2 and < 10 Mbps, truncated to the lower integer>= 10 and < 1000 Mbps, rounded to the nearest integer>= 1000 Mbps, the published bandwidth = 1000 MbpsEach sublayer has a varying number of attributes from these sources, depending on what data is available for the level of granularity.

The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2010 Census blocks nest within every other 2010 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.

Form 477 wireline service data from FCC. Providers file lists of census blocks in which they can or do offer service to at least one location, with additional information about the service.

Broadband planning map aimed at identifying underserved areas across North Carolina. The FCC Form 477 provider reported data on broadband service at a census block level. All facilities-based broadband providers are required to file data with the FCC twice a year (Form 477) on where they offer Internet access service at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in at least one direction. Fixed providers file lists of census blocks in which they can or do offer service to at least one location, with additional information about the service. A provider that reports deployment of a particular technology and bandwidth in a census block may not necessarily offer that service everywhere in the block. Accordingly, a list of providers deployed in a census block does not necessarily reflect the number of choices available to any particular household or business location in that block, and the number of such providers in the census block does not purport to measure competition. This map aims to supplement the Form 477 data with community surveys and other data on state and local broadband funding projects to provide a more detailed look at the state of broadband across North Carolina.

This study contains two data files. Data file one (Broadband Internet Availability, Speed, and Adoption by Census Tract) contains measures of broadband internet availability, speed, and adoption per United States census tract in 2014 through 2020. The data is derived from internet service providers' Form 477 reports to the Federal Communications Commission. Data file two (Broadband Internet Availability and Speed by ZIP Code Tabulation Area) contains measures of broadband internet access and usage per United States ZIP code tabulation area (ZCTA) in 2014 through 2020. The data is derived primarily from internet service providers' Form 477 reports to the Federal Communications Commission.

This map shows the relationship between public libraries in the U.S. and broadband availability for every neighborhood in the U.S. and outlying areas. Zoom into any neighborhood to see the streets and buildings within areas well-served by broadband (in green) and areas that are poorly served (in magenta).The libraries are sized according to how many people live within 10 minutes' drive of library. As you zoom into a city, the map filters out areas beyond 10-minutes' drive to a library, allowing you to focus on the local population who might be interested in using a library's broadband. Click on a library to see the estimated population nearby.Library locations are from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, via its Public Libraries Survey for 2020.Pelczar, M., Soffronoff, J., Nielsen, E., Li, J., & Mabile, S. (2022). Data File Documentation: Public Libraries in the United States Fiscal Year 2020. Institute of Museum and Library Services: Washington, D.C. The broadband layers summarize the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Form 477 data by transmission technology used and speeds offered at Census Block and larger areas.The map is designed for use in Map Viewer and dashboards or applications.
