This dataset provides the total household enrollments in the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) Program by five-digit zip codes in Connecticut. The data is provided by Universal Service Administrative Co. (USAC).
USAC has redacted any ZIP codes meeting the criteria developed by the FCC to protect subscriber privacy and to reduce the risk of identification of enrolled households. ZIP codes are excluded if their estimated population is below 50, if a population estimate for the ZIP code is not available in the American Community Survey, if there are fewer than 1,000 enrolled households in a ZIP code and those households comprise most of a ZIP code’s estimated population, or if the number of EBB enrolled households in a ZIP code equals or exceeds the population estimate range for that ZIP code.
The town corresponding to the zip codes has been added using the Zip to Town crosswalk from the CT Data Collaborative. Because some zip codes cross town boundaries, this crosswalk is approximate. More information on the crosswalk can be found here: https://github.com/CT-Data-Collaborative/ct-zip-to-town
Note: The EBB Program was replaced by the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) on December 31, 2021.
