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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Eastern Nebraska, particularly the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas, exhibits consistently higher broadband adoption rates, with many zip codes reaching 85–95%+, while the western panhandle and Sandhills region display markedly lower penetration, with several zip codes falling below 60%. A notable patchwork pattern emerges in central Nebraska, where high-adoption zip codes (often corresponding to smaller cities like Grand Island, Kearney, and North Platte) sit adjacent to rural areas with significantly lower rates. The southeast corner of the state contains a few zip codes with extremely low broadband penetration near 0–50%, likely reflecting small, isolated communities or areas with limited infrastructure investment.
