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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband internet adoption in the Detroit metro area exhibits a stark urban-suburban divide, with central Detroit zip codes falling below 60–70% household coverage while surrounding suburban communities like Livonia, Farmington Hills, and Sterling Heights consistently exceed 90%. The lowest-connectivity clusters concentrate in Detroit's core and near-east side, suggesting persistent digital infrastructure or affordability gaps in historically underserved neighborhoods. Outer-ring suburbs to the northwest and north display near-universal broadband penetration at or above 95%, with notably high rates also visible in the Grosse Pointe corridor east of Detroit.
