The dataset includes the Digital Equity Score, which measures the extent to which socioeconomic conditions hinder or enable access to broadband internet in each political township. This score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates political townships facing significant barriers to broadband access, while 100 represents political townships with favorable conditions for broadband availability. Additionally, the dataset offers detailed demographic information, such as median household income, housing cost burdened households, household internet status, device availability, and minority status. These demographic variables shed light on the factors influencing digital equity and provide valuable insights into the relationship between socioeconomic conditions and broadband access within specific political townships in Cook County.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/34531e787cd64a18af7043c290e51332_3</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>Cook Central</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Cook County Digital Equity Score Political Township [Illinois--Cook County]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Illinois--Cook County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Illinois</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2023-10-02</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
