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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband internet adoption across North Dakota's zip codes varies considerably, with many areas in the 75–90% range but notable pockets of very low connectivity (below 50%) concentrated in several central and south-central zip codes, likely corresponding to rural communities and Native American reservations such as Standing Rock and Fort Berthold. The highest adoption rates, approaching or exceeding 95%, appear clustered around urban centers including the Fargo area in the east, Bismarck-Mandan in the south-central region, and portions of the northwest near Williston. The scattered gray areas indicate zip codes with missing or suppressed data, while the broad swath of moderate green tones across the western half suggests persistently lower broadband penetration in the more sparsely populated ranching and agricultural regions compared to the eastern Red River Valley corridor.
