Updated RDOF Broadband Grant Defaults

This layer displays authorized project areas for awardees of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund grant. Areas that are in default have been updated as of September, 2026.

Community Deprivation Index

This layer displays the Community Deprivation Index (CDI) developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CDI allows for rankings of neighborhoods by socioeconomic disadvantage across the nation. It is a factor-weighted composite of 18 variables spanning income, education, employment, housing, and health insurance coverage, drawn from the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates.

National Land Cover Dataset, 2025

The National Land Cover Database (NLCD) serves as the definitive Landsat-based, 30-meter resolution, land cover database for the Nation. NLCD provides spatial reference and descriptive data for characteristics of the land surface such as thematic class (for example, urban, agriculture, and forest), percent impervious surface, and percent tree canopy cover. NLCD supports a wide variety of Federal, State, local, and nongovernmental applications that seek to assess ecosystem status and health, understand the spatial patterns of biodiversity, predict effects of climate change, and develop land management policy. NLCD products are created by the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium, a partnership of Federal agencies led by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Community Resilience Estimates – Predominant Risk Factor

This layer displays the predominant population category in terms of the number of Risk Factors (RF) residents (individual and households) are facing. Data is from the Census 2019 Community Resilience Estimates and is available for all census tracts, counties, and states.

School Funding Adequacy

This layer displays school funding adequacy among public school districts, measured as the difference between actual per-pupil spending and estimated required per-pupil spending. Required spending represents the estimated level of funding needed for a district to achieve U.S. average student test scores. Negative funding gap values indicate spending below estimated adequacy targets, while positive values indicate spending above estimated adequacy targets.

Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE)

The Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE) dataset contains annual estimates of the population with and without health insurance. Data are available by age group and sex. This update reports information about calendar year 2024; data were released by the US Census Bureau in August, 2026.

Population in Poverty, 2024

This layer displays the total number and percentage of children in poverty (in households with income or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level). Data are from the latest US Census Bureau Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) dataset and are available at the county, state, and school-district level.

New maps and data for the 2024 Area Deprivation Index are now available!

Data for the 2024 Area Deprivation Index (ADI) are now available! The ADI is a ranking of neighborhoods by socioeconomic status disadvantage in a region of interest (e.g. at the state or national level). It includes factors for the theoretical domains of income, education, employment, and housing quality. It can be used to inform health delivery and policy, especially for the most disadvantaged neighborhood groups.
