Telehealth Infrastructure for Cancer Care in the United States

This dataset provides ZIP Code Tabulation Area–level data across the United States to support the analysis of spatial and telehealth accessibility to cancer care. The dataset includes the following key components: Broadband availability: Coverage estimates for fixed and wireless broadband, including technologies such as 5G Broadband subscription rates: Residential uptake of broadband services Travel time: Estimated drive time from population-weighted centroids to the nearest cancer care providers based on OSRM Cancer incidence: Estimated cancer case counts and rates at the ZIP Code Tabulation Area level Provider locations: Geocoded locations and specialties of cancer care physicians and facilities All variables are spatially aligned to ZIP Code Tabulation Areas and can be used for accessibility modeling and health disparity research.
