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.
