A new U.S. News And World Report survey of 2,500 Americans across the five most populous U.S. states (PA, TX, NY, CA, and FL) found that U.S. broadband prices continue to soar for most users. Most of the survey’s findings aren’t surprising; broadband access costs are reaching $100 for most users, and Americans continue to pay some of the highest rates for access in the developed world.

In summary, this nationwide study offers foundational geospatial insights into disparities of AD dementia prevalence across the US in relation to socioeconomic policies. The hotspots were more prevalent in states that did not adopt Medicaid expansion, had minimum wage policies at or below the federal level, were situated in the Deep South, and fell within the most vulnerable SVI quartiles. In contrast, cold spots were primarily found in states that adopted Medicaid expansion, had minimum wage policies above the federal level, were in the Western and Northeastern regions, and fell within the least vulnerable SVI quartiles. Based on our findings, we recommend that state policymakers prioritize socioeconomic policies to enhance access to care for vulnerable populations. For instance, healthcare providers and community organizations can allocate resources to hotspot regions and establish outreach programs to address the unique socioeconomic challenges, such as transportation barriers and limited healthcare access to mitigate the disparities. While our findings are centered on the US, the methodologies and insights derived from this study can serve as a baseline for other countries facing significant socioeconomic disparities in the prevalence of AD dementia. Future research should explore the causal relationships between socioeconomic policies and AD dementia to strengthen evidence for policy advocacy. Additionally, the incorporation of other socioeconomic variables such as housing quality, food security, and environmental variables in causal models could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the pathways linking policy to AD dementia prevalence.
