Signs of digital distress: Mapping broadband availability and subscription in American neighborhoods

Broadband, especially wireline broadband in American homes, is the essential infrastructure for unlocking the internet’s economic benefits.

As such, policymakers must understand how the national digital divide varies depending on the place.
