What the printed guide reports

20,661new Black Belt locations in the guide
19,925matched BEAD locations confirmed on the working map
736additional locations pending confirmation

Of the 19,925 confirmed assigned locations, the guide reports 62.2% fiber and 37.8% low-Earth-orbit satellite. It reports no fixed-wireless BEAD assignments among these 15 counties. These figures reflect the September 2026 print source, not a live deployment feed.

Interactive map demonstration

This map currently uses one synthetic sample point per county. It does not show actual addresses, official BEAD locations, provider assignments or service availability. Do not use it to make an address-level decision.
