This layer displays the total number of providers that provide broadband level services. Only records with copper, cable, fiber, or licensed fixed wireless are counted.
This layer displays aggregated location based data from the FCC that’s gathered through the Broadband Data Collection program. The number of locations was derived from the number of unique location ids for each block group and aggregated up. Location ids may include multiple units which are not included in our calculations. The number of locations that meet broadband definitions are only for those locations served the required speeds by copper, cable, fiber, or licensed fixed wireless. Satellite, un-licensed fixed wireless, or ‘other’ are not inlcuded in our broadband calculations. A location is considered served by wireless alone if it meets the broadband definition (25/3+) by a wireless provider and is not served by any other technology type (not including satellite).
This layer displays the FEMA National Risk Index score, rating and national and state percentiles for each county and Census tract. These are measures of risks U.S. communities are exposed to for 18 natural hazards. Data was obtained from the FEMA National Risk Index (the Nov. 2021 version).

This layer displays the percent of people who use the internet at broadband speeds (Greater than 25 MBPS download speed).
