There are 6 million inhabited census blocks, averaging 52 residents per block. [1]

Even the larger ones still only have a few hundred people (and those are dense, apartment-heavy areas where multiple ISPs are common anyway).

I don't doubt there is some polishing the numbers, but it's still a very granular measure.
