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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Suburban zip codes ringing Kansas City and St. Louis consistently reach 90–100% broadband adoption, while rural areas across northern Missouri and the Ozarks region in the south-central part of the state frequently fall below 70%, creating a stark urban-rural divide. The southeast Missouri Bootheel stands out with several zip codes dropping to 50% or lower, representing the state's most acute broadband access gap. Scattered yellow-highlighted zip codes in otherwise lower-connectivity rural areas likely correspond to small college towns or regional hubs that outperform their surrounding communities.
