FCC Broadband Data Collection – June 2024 Update in ArcGIS Living Atlas
The June 2024 Broadband Data Collection (BDC) is now available within ArcGIS Living Atlas. This ready-to-use layer shows fixed broadband availability for every Census Block and H3 Resolution-8 hexagonal area in the U.S. and outlying territories.
The layer summarizes the June 2024 BDC data showing the number of served, underserved, and unserved Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs) in total and by transmission technology for a given geography. It is a composite of six sublayers – State, County, Tract, Block Group, Block, and H3 Resolution-8 hexagons – each with a related table listing all Internet Service Provider (ISP) offerings by technology and speed tier.
Visit the blog by @PatrickRyan and Steven Aviles to learn more about the layer and associated Provider Comparison App and Provier Footprint Dashboard. The new content is designed to help address the digital divide throughout the US, and can help pinpoint areas where public policy can make an impact.
