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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband internet adoption in the Phoenix metro exhibits a clear core-periphery divide, with central Phoenix zip codes—particularly near downtown and south Phoenix—falling below 70%, while outer suburban areas in north Scottsdale, Gilbert, and the far northwest consistently exceed 90%. The lowest-connectivity cluster appears in a band of zip codes running through central and south Phoenix, where rates dip into the 50–65% range, contrasting sharply with adjacent affluent areas like north Scottsdale and northeast Mesa that approach near-universal broadband coverage. Newer master-planned communities on the metro's southern and western fringes generally show strong adoption in the 85–95% range, suggesting that housing age and median income are likely key drivers of this spatial pattern.
