About the Tribal Area

State-recognized Indigenous descent group in Louisiana. Because there is no single federal reservation footprint in the Census tribal-area geography, broadband planning is typically tied to dispersed households, county road access, and nearby regional infrastructure.

Tribal Area Description

Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware is a State-designated tribal statistical area (SDTSA), a Census statistical geography identified for a state-recognized tribe or community rather than a federally recognized reservation land base. Boundary records for Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware show about 2.23 square miles (1,429 acres) for this state-designated statistical area, centered near latitude 39.2067585 and longitude -75.5936282. FCC BDC provider counts are not fully populated for this code in the local dataset, so current service inventory should be validated before relying on deployment comparisons.
