I have a question regarding the zeroes I am getting back when querying some variables with the REST API. Specifically, the variables AtRisk.MP27002A_B (Have a smartphone) and ElectronicsInternet.MP19001A_B (Have internet access at home) have come back as all zeroes for all the areas I have tried. Some tracts I have tried individually:

NY:
36067011101
36067011231
36067013300

MO:
29151490100
29151490200

As it seems unlikely that no one in any of those census tracts has a smartphone or internet access, I am guessing these variables simply don't have data for those areas? Are these variables very limited in the areas where they have data? Are there other variables I could use which would provide similar information and have data more widely available?

Thanks!
