% of Households with Broadband Internet, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Denver Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband internet adoption across the Denver metro area generally ranges from 75% to over 95%, with the highest penetration concentrated in outer suburban zip codes to the south, west, and northeast—particularly around Broomfield, Arvada, Lakewood's western edges, and the far reaches of Aurora and Centennial. Central Denver and several zip codes immediately surrounding downtown exhibit noticeably lower broadband rates, falling into the 70–85% range, suggesting a core-periphery disparity likely driven by differences in income, housing type, and renter concentration. A small cluster in the far southeast corner stands out with the lowest broadband adoption in the metro, dipping below 50%, which may reflect a more rural or economically disadvantaged area at the metro's fringe.
