Census: N.M. struggling for a good connection
By Teya Vitu | tvitu@sfnewmexican.com Dec 24, 2018
New Mexico is among the least connected states to broadband in the nation
and ranks No. 48th.
New U.S. Census Bureau
“Low broadband internet subscription rates were found in many counties
in the upper Plains, the Southwest and South,”
"There is a gap between broadband availability and customer subscriptions"
Deming and Gallup are among the half-dozen or so U.S. micropolitan areas (fewer than 50,000 residents) with the lowest income and highest poverty, respectively.
Counties with broadband rates below 55 percent include
Doña Ana, Socorro, Cibola, McKinley, Rio Arriba, Guadalupe, San Miguel, Mora and Harding — most with poverty rates between 26 and 37 percent.
“Expanding broadband access will grow New Mexico’s economy, create jobs, boost wages, improve health outcomes, support small business growth, help our students learn, increase crop yields, and so much more,”
Gov.-elect Michelle Lujan Grisham
