Big Apple Connect: Enrollment Statistics for NYCHA Developments

Big Apple Connect enrollment data tracks broadband subscription uptake across eligible New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments. The dataset includes enrollment percentages, subscriber counts, and total households per development, broken down by political districts and provider. Columns suggest it supports analysis of the program's reach and the digital divide within public housing.

Use Cases

• Analyzing broadband adoption rates by NYCHA development using NYCHA Development Name, Percent of Enrollment, and NYCHA Total Households
• Mapping program reach across political jurisdictions using City Council District, State Assembly District, and Congressional District
• Comparing provider deployment and subscriber counts across boroughs using Provider, Borough, and Total Big Apple Connect Subscribers
• Tracking enrollment trends over time using Reporting Date
• Assessing community-level digital access by correlating enrollment with Community Board

Strengths

• Data is published by the authoritative City of New York organization
• Cross-platform presence on Socrata and Data.gov signals importance and public availability
• Dataset includes granular geographic and political district breakdowns

Limitations

• Metadata completeness is low: row counts, file sizes, license, and author are unknown across all sources
• A conflict exists in the reported last updated date: Socrata shows 2026-05-21 while Data.gov shows 2026-04-12
• The Data.gov source lacks column information, limiting cross-platform understanding of the data structure
