This dataset and map service provides information on the U.S. Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) low to moderate income areas. The term Low to Moderate Income, often referred to as low-mod, has a specific programmatic context within the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Over a 1, 2, or 3-year period, as selected by the grantee, not less than 70 percent of CDBG funds must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons. HUD uses special tabulations of Census data to determine areas where at least 51% of households have incomes at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI). This dataset and map service contains the following layer.

Discounts for Internet service through the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) ended June 1, 2024 due to lack of additional funding. Whether the program will receive additional funding in the future is uncertain. Please see ACP program information from the FCC for more details.The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) households data set summarizes household enrollments and subscriptions by month and zip code for beneficiary households located in Detroit zip codes. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a U.S. government program to help low-income households pay for Internet services and connected devices. Households that participate in ACP receive discounts on qualifying broadband Internet services of up to $30 per month and can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet. Households can qualify for ACP based on participation in Lifeline or other service provider programs for low-income households, income at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines, participation in other Lifeline-qualifying programs such as SNAP or Medicaid, or participation in free and reduced-price school lunch and breakfast programs. Additionally, service providers can ask the FCC to approve an alternative verification process and use that approved process to check consumer eligibility. ACP program discounts first became available to eligible enrolled households on January 1, 2022. The ACP claims process is built on the Lifeline Claims System and this data set is derived from snapshots of all subscribers entered in the National Lifeline Accountability Database (NLAD) as of the first of each month. The ACP was created under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and is administered by the independent not-for-profit Universal Service Access Co. under the direction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Eligible beneficiaries who participated in the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program that was funded by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, were transitioned to ACP between January 1 and March 1, 2022. EBB was ACP's predecessor program and ran from May 12, 2021 until it was phased out on February 28, 2022. Due to the granularity of available data, households located in communities adjacent to Detroit that share a zip code such as Hamtramck and Highland Park are included in this data set.Fieldsprogram - Associated program for the data (ACP or EBB)data_month - Data month is associated with the subscriber snapshot for each claim month. If data month is listed as '5/1/2022', then the subscriber snapshot was captured on June 1, and the data represents the number of households in ACP as of June 1.

The Community Credit research project explores pathways for trusted collaboration between credit unions and the communities they serve. To understand the experiences of people historically underserved by the consumer financial services industry, we focused in particular on the lived experience of low-income residents in Southern California. As part of a larger, mixed-methods study, in 2022 we conducted an online survey investigating people’s everyday financial practices, evolving perceptions of trust and risk, and their unmet financial needs. The general population survey data was collected between April 15 and April 22, 2022. The credit union data was collected between May 3 and July 18, 2022. This data set contains the responses of the survey participants after excluding any personally identifying data. All study materials and procedures were approved by the University of California, Irvine Office of Human Research Protections and the Institutional Review Board (protocol ID 20216839). This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2137567. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. Methods Survey data was collected via the Qualtrics platform. The survey contains 52 questions. It was distributed to the general population in zip codes within the counties of Los Angeles and Orange. It was also distributed directly to members of a large credit union headquartered in Orange County (“large” according to NCUA asset classes). Participants were eligible to complete the survey if they live in Orange County or Los Angeles County, are older than 18, and have a combined household income of less than $100,000. Incomplete responses have been removed. The survey yielded 1,370 complete responses (1,213 from the general population participants and 157 from members of the large credit union).
