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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband adoption rates across the Philadelphia metro area exhibit a pronounced urban-suburban divide, with the lowest penetration rates—falling below 65%—concentrated in North and West Philadelphia zip codes as well as in Camden and Chester, forming a corridor of digital disadvantage through the region's urban core. Suburban zip codes to the northwest toward King of Prussia, north toward Bucks County, and east into southern New Jersey consistently exceed 90% broadband adoption, with many reaching near-universal coverage above 95%. The Norristown area represents a notable suburban exception, displaying moderately lower broadband rates compared to its surrounding affluent communities, suggesting localized socioeconomic factors influencing connectivity even outside the central city.
