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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband adoption rates across Ohio exhibit a clear urban-suburban divide, with the highest penetration (90–100%) concentrated in suburban zip codes ringing Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, while many urban core zip codes in those same metros—particularly in Cleveland's east side and parts of Youngstown—drop below 60%. The southeastern Appalachian region of the state consistently registers lower broadband rates, generally in the 65–80% range, reflecting persistent rural connectivity challenges. A notable corridor of high adoption stretches across the northwestern quadrant of the state, where smaller metro areas and agricultural communities appear to maintain relatively strong broadband access compared to their southeastern counterparts.
