Description: Access to reliable, high-speed broadband internet improves access to education, employment, and health care opportunities and is associated with increased economic development.[1] In 2020, the bipartisan Broadband DATA act was passed by the federal government to improve broadband access and speeds by 2025.[2] Yet, an estimated 19 million Americans lack access to reliable broadband internet.[3] Over half of US counties (57%) experience speeds below the federally defined broadband standard (25 Mbps down/3 Mbps up), but in rural counties this percentage jumps to 65%.[4] However, broadband access is not an issue exclusive to rural areas. Low-income neighborhoods in urban areas have been systematically excluded from broadband service in “digital redlining".[5,6] Broadband access is required to efficiently support employment opportunities, workforce development, education, health care (telehealth), and access to/enrollment in state and federal programs (e.g. SNAP). Broadband access can foster social connectedness, particularly among older populations, reducing the burden of social isolation, strengthening community support, and decreasing loneliness.[7] Data Update: 2023 using data from American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2017-2021). https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/explore-health-rankings/measures-data-sources/county-health-rankings-model/health-factors/social-and-economic-factors/education/broadband-access
