The Invisible Community – Imperial, One of Many Rural Areas Hit by the Digital Divide

According to a survey by the Imperial County Office of Education, the digital divide in Imperial County is nearly 40%, which is one of the highest in the nation. Fortunately, funders such as CETF and Alliance Healthcare are leading the effort to pay closer attention to these rural and often overlooked parts of the state with direct funding and by learning more about the community they’re trying to serve, directly from the members of the community itself.
