Mapping Broadband Health in America 2023


Published: Monday, December 18, 2023

Produced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Mapping Broadband Health in America 2023 platform provides an interactive experience, enabling detailed study of the intersection between connectivity and health at the national, state, and county level in the United States. Users can generate customized maps that show broadband access, Internet adoption, and Internet speed intersected with various health outcomes and risk factors (e.g., maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, maternity care deserts, obesity, diabetes, physician access, opioid-related mortality, and opioid prescription rates) in urban and rural areas.

Key Map Features:

  • Interactive data visualization tools
  • Easily-accessible statistics about connectivity and health
  • Customizable zoom levels you can set to state or county
  • Unique URLs for each customized map to facilitate sharing and collaboration
  • Support of open government and open data initiatives through APIs and downloadable data sets

Access the map and additional resources at https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/maps/connect2health/.
