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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband adoption rates across Louisiana exhibit a pronounced urban-rural divide, with zip codes in the Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and suburban Shreveport areas generally reaching 85–95%+ coverage, while large swaths of the rural northern parishes and Mississippi Delta-adjacent regions in the northeast fall below 65%. Several deep purple pockets indicating sub-50% broadband penetration cluster in economically disadvantaged areas of north-central Louisiana and parts of the southeastern coastal zone. The western parishes display a more moderate and mixed pattern, with scattered high-access zip codes likely corresponding to smaller cities like Lake Charles and Lafayette surrounded by lower-connectivity rural areas.
