Overview

West Lafayette, IN has 16 registered structures, the tallest standing 97 m (318 ft) above ground.

Counted against 45,747 residents, that is 35 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.

Half the registered structures here are taller than 55 m (181 ft) and half are shorter.

The mix here is 4 monopoles, 1 lattice tower, 1 guyed mast — the rest of the register is made up of rooftops, water tanks and structures the FCC records without a specific type.

The most recent registration on file here dates from 2026.

About this data

All figures on this page are aggregated from the federal antenna structure register of 2026-08-23, not from carrier coverage data. The two answer different questions.

The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.

"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
