Hi Everyone,

As you will quickly see, the map has information down to the address level = --

Fabric but are not (along with a bunch of highway mile markers that will ne= ed to
be cleaned out -- an artifact of pulling locations from E911 databases). Mo= st of
the Turquoise dots represent challenges that should have been made -- and t= here
are areas in North Central and SW PA where there are thousands upon thousan= ds of
households currently missing from the Fabric data.

This map is freely and publicly available for non-commercial use, and it= 9;s built
with open source code -- so we'd welcome both collaborators, re-use by = more
states, inquiries from devs who want to help, as well as your feedback (the= re's
a handy "reach out" link at the top of the map that'll e-mail= the team).

The dev team is particularly keen to accelerate additional features (e.g., =
drawing an arbitrary polygon and having it compute # of households, # &= %
unserved, # & % underserved; and mash-ups with demographic data from th= e 2020
census [which would enable the first-ever empirical look at de facto digita= l

I hope folks like it.
