Purdue - Digital Distress Map

The Digital Distress Map created by Purdue University uses data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey and shows digital distress at the county, census tract, and congressional district levels. Data was obtained for all U.S. census tracts and categorized into low, moderate, and high digital distress. Four variables from the U.S. Census American Community Survey were used:
1) the percent of homes with no internet access,
2) using only cellular data, as well as
3) the percent of homes relying on mobile devices only, or
​4) having no computing devices.
​Purdue University considers "the digital divide is the number one threat to community economic development in the 21st century. "
