## ACAM I and ACAM II

### About
This dataset serves as the foundation for the Connect America Fund Broadband Map (CAF Map), which displays the geographic areas eligible for CAF support, as well as the specific fixed locations where carriers participating in the program have built out broadband service. The information in the CAF Map comes directly from carriers, which submit broadband deployment data annually through USAC’s High Cost Universal Broadband (HUBB) portal. The current CAF Map is based on data certified in the HUBB as of September 30, 2023. USAC independently verifies deployment to a random sample of reported locations each year to monitor carrier compliance with CAF build-out obligations, but not all data in the map has been subject to this review.

### Analysis

Records represent a single address with awards deployed or will deploy in this year. The locations have a deployed date spanning from `2000-01-01` to `2023-09-19`.

A single address may have multiple households. This is represented by the column “Locations Deployed”.

Available Fund Types are listed below but for the purpose of this request we filtered to ACAM I and ACAM II fund type.

**Fund Type**

- `ACAM`

- `ACAM II`

- `AK Plan`

- `CAF II`

- `CAF II Auc`

- `CAF-BLS`

- `PR Fixed`

- `RBE`

- `RDOF`

To determine the census block we used the field, Census Block, 2010 Census block of the deployment location.

**We created 3 different flags:**

- `acam_i_flag`: 1 indicates the block received ACAM I and 0 indicates it did not.

- `acam_ii_flag`: 1 indicates the block received ACAM II and 0 indicates it did not.

- `has_previous_funding`: 1 indicates the block received ACAM I and/or ACAM II and 0 indicates it did not.


We produced two tables, `proj_bead.acam_bl_tidy` and `proj_bead.acam_bl_wide`.

When generating the `proj_bead.acam_bl_tidy` table we had to crosswalk the 2010 block fips to the 2020 block fips using the `proj_bead.cross_tab1020`. We did this to create consistency with the other BEAD datasets.

Some 2010 blocks with different funding flags were merged into one block in 2020. The 2020 block will be flagged as previously funded`if any of the 2010 blocks were previously funded.

Wide format table, `proj_bead.acam_bl_wide`is grouped by Census Block and summarized. The table is kept at 2010 blocks to avoid duplicate rows.
