Which states receive the most broadband funding?

Federal broadband funding flows to states primarily through the BEAD program (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment), where state allocations were determined by the share of unserved households in each state. Texas, California, Missouri, Michigan, North Carolina, and Virginia all received over a billion dollars in BEAD funding.

Beyond BEAD, the USDA ReConnect program and FCC universal-service distributions add more. The breakdown below shows where the dollars are flowing, which agencies are most active, and which contractors are receiving the work.
