The U.S. Census Bureau, in partnership with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, announces the launch of the Access Broadband Dashboard, a new data tool that shows how changes in broadband infrastructure expansion may impact local economies.
The dashboard includes a series of maps showing different broadband access measures, as well as economic characteristics that research suggests could be influenced by increased access to broadband. Maps display statistics on employment, small business establishments, wages and income, poverty, home values, population change and migration, educational attainment and gross domestic product (GDP).
The dashboard will be updated annually so users can assess the economic context of areas where broadband availability and adoption efforts are underway.
