As states and cities across the US seek to close their digital divides, getting a closer look at where and why the problem is particularly persistent is key to finding the right solutions.

In New York City, the greatest digital divide exists in the borough of the Bronx. The third-most densely populated county in the US, the Bronx is home to roughly 1.4 million people, as of the most recent census data. It also has the lowest rate of broadband adoption in the city of New York, with 22.4% of households lacking broadband, compared to 18% in Queens and 12.5% in Manhattan.

In this episode of The Divide, we hear from Eli Dvorkin, editorial and policy director, and Rachel Neches, data researcher, from the Center for an Urban Future (CUF), about a report they published in July, entitled Understanding and Overcoming the Bronx Digital Divide.
