Why Closing the
Digital Divide Matters

In our region, approximately 1 in 4 households do not have internet access. (U.S. Census 2020 ACS; Hunt Institute Broadband Feasibility Study)

According to the Hunt Institute’s economic impact study, every $1 invested in El Paso’s broadband infrastructure adds $2 to the region’s economic output.

According to 2020 U.S. Census ACS estimates, 38.3 percent of Dońa Ana households lack a fixed broadband connection (cable, fiber, DSL).
