PSC received project area maps from DED for funded projects. PSC approximated project footprint polygons based on the submitted maps for fiber projects only. Fixed wireless or cable projects were not compiled. U.S. Census Bureau Census Blocks were selected to represent project areas using a centroid-based inclusion method (block selected when the block centroid fell within the approximated footprint). Selected blocks were incorporated into PSC broadband analysis and modeling workflows.
Project maps provided by DED were reviewed and used to approximate project footprint polygons. Census Blocks were selected using a centroid-based inclusion rule and exported for PSC broadband modeling and analysis.
