Updated Digital Inclusion Presentation Power Point  
An update to the data was provided:  
The discussion about the numbers of people experiencing digital disconnection  
caused us to realize our slides were incorrect. The numbers shown were households,  
not individuals.  
22,492 households (10 percent) in Ramsey County are without an internet subscription.  
This data is from the US Census Bureau, Types of Computers and Internet  
Subscriptions.  
I have attached updated slides, along with the addition of a map that shows geographic  
distribution of households with no internet or device. We apologize for the mistake and  
appreciate the conversation that helped call our attention to it.  
An updated presentation has been attached to the item.
