| Verizon isn't going to rush out and do communities that have a few hundred households serving a few thousand people. Several neighborhoods already done in my city are bigger (in popluation and number of houses then what Yale or Almont. They are going to hit the larger communities first.

No, they are targeting the affluent areas first, then hit the larger communities, then if they feel like it or get around to it the other communities. |

Almont: 1058 houses, 2803 people
Yale: 805 houses, 2063 people
The one specific neighborhood I pass on a daily basis is nearly a mile by 3/4 of a mile in area and has 945 lots according to my town's GIS server. While I can't give you an exact census count, if you presume between 2-3 per house, it puts you in the same general ball park as what both towns are. This is just one neighborhood in my city. There are active deployments in over a dozen neighborhoods within throwing distance of my own, plus at least 4 other large areas around my area that have concentrations of active installations underway, basically in the 4 corners of my city.

No, they are targeting the affluent areas first, then hit the larger communities, then if they feel like it or get around to it the other communities.My city's median income is $40k and median home value around $80k, slightly below the national averages so we're not exactly "rich and affluent" in these parts. A neighboring town, affectionately known as the armpit of the area, is also underway. Many, but by no means all, of those houses are lower income blue collar homes. They aren't people living in mid-6 figure homes. They are people living in $50k and $60k homes.
