The percentage of households with access to broadband internet via a cellular data plan, satellite internet service, cable, fiber optic or DSL.
People who can access electronic information can better track and manage their health care. They can also stay connected with their communities to receive assistance, emergency services, and important information. There are disparities in home broadband service by race/ethnicity, age, geographic location, education, and income. The use of computers make electronic information easier to access, use, and understand. This makes it more likely that people will have the information they need to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
In 2022, Households With Access to Broadband Internet (Census ACS) in Alachua County was 87.4 compared to Florida at 88.8. The line graph shows change over time when there are at least three years of data.
Alachua County is in the third quartile for this measure. This means that relative to other counties in Florida, the situation occurs more often in about half of the counties, and it occurs less often in about one quarter of the counties.
The map illustrates county data by quartile. A quartile map is presented when there are at least 51 counties with data for this measure.

Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.
Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.
Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.
MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.
Denom - abbreviated for Denominator.
Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.
* - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.
