ABSTRACT: An enumeration of public computing sites in Toledo, Ohio, identifies 253 sites, proposes a methodology, and elaborates a model. The model is that government sites are distributed equally across an urban area, commercial and university sites are distributed more to higher socioeconomic locales, and community sites are distributed to the highest and lowest socioeconomic locales and less to middle strata locales.
