About the Tribal Area
State-recognized Indigenous descent group in New Jersey. 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
Nanticoke Lenni Lenape 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 Nanticoke Lenni Lenape show about 19.1 square miles (12,232 acres) for this state-designated statistical area, centered near latitude 39.4061548 and longitude -75.1862734. 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.
