HR&A Advisors, a firm focused on equitable community development, faced the challenge of identifying underserved areas lacking reliable broadband infrastructure to help close the digital divide. They turned to the CARTO platform and its geospatial analytics services, integrated with AWS, to streamline data workflows and map these critical gaps.

Using CARTO, the team performed real-time spatial analysis and visualization, deploying multi-language surveys and creating spatial joins to aggregate response data. This solution provided actionable insights, informing targeted efforts to improve broadband access. One measurable result was gathering over 5,700 survey responses in Colorado with an 89% completion rate, directly supporting data-driven initiatives for digital equity.
