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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Chicago metropolitan area and its suburban collar counties display the highest broadband adoption rates, with numerous zip codes reaching 90–100%, while southern Illinois consistently lags behind, with many zip codes falling below 70–75%. Mid-state urban centers such as Springfield, Champaign-Urbana, and Peoria appear as isolated pockets of higher connectivity surrounded by lower-adoption rural areas. A pronounced north-south gradient is evident, with the deepest digital divide concentrated in the rural zip codes of far southern Illinois near the Cairo region, where rates drop to 50% or below.
