Service Description: This data summarizes FCC reported Broadband Service per census block using the available technologies deployed in each block to determine speeds and a count of the number of providers in each block. Blocks are then categorized into speed tiers based on the technical capabilities of each technology. In blocks that have multiple technologies available, the technology with the highest download and upload speed capabilities is listed as the technology and speed tier. Derived from June 2021 Form 477 data.
The Speed Tier field can be used to determine unserved blocks (No Service or Less Than 25mb/s Download and 3mb/s Upload), as well as underserved blocks (Less Than 100mb/s Download and 20mb/s Upload). The Technology Tier field lists the best available technology and can be combined with the Speed Tier field to identify both speed capabilities and technology reported as available in each census block.

Description: The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2010 Census blocks nest within every other 2010 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.
