Due to the visual nature of the map component, the relationships between broadband and health data are not calculated as numerical values and cannot be announced using current screen reader technology. The FCC has provided links at the end of the Introduction section to download the complete dataset from which the relationship calculations have been derived. The dataset files are in the following formats; JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), Extensible Markup Language (XML), shapefile (SHP), Keyhole Markup Language (KML), and as comma separated values (CSV).
Note: Selecting the tabs or the 'Opioids' or 'Chronic Disease' radio buttons automatically updates the content below. All of the controls within this lower section will automatically update the map on this page.
Select which health issue to load. Page content and map will dynamically change immediately upon selection.

Introduction:

Mapping Broadband Health in America is a novel, interactive mapping platform created by the Connect2HealthFCC Task Force. From its initial launch and through various updates and expansions, the platform remains a critical resource for users to visualize, intersect and analyze broadband and health data at the national, state and county levels, providing compelling insights on opportunities and gaps in the connected health space. By using the mapping platform as a foundation for understanding the intersection of broadband and health, policymakers and other stakeholders can chart a concrete path to a more connected and healthier future for all Americans. Starting in June 2023, the platform now includes maternal health data in response to the Data Mapping to Save Moms’ Lives Act (opens new window), updated chronic disease and access to care metrics, and opioid mortality rates and prescription data.
