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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband adoption in Mississippi exhibits a stark urban-rural divide, with zip codes around the Jackson metro area, the Golden Triangle (Columbus-Starkville-West Point), and DeSoto County in the far north reaching 85–95%+ penetration, while large swaths of the Delta region along the western border and parts of the rural southwest fall below 60%. A cluster of particularly low-connectivity zip codes is visible in the central-west Delta counties—Sunflower, Leflore, and Humphreys—where rates dip into the 40–55% range, representing some of the most persistently underserved areas in the state. The Gulf Coast corridor near Biloxi and Gulfport shows moderately high broadband access in the 75–85% range, though adjacent rural zip codes to the north drop off considerably.
