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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband internet adoption across Rhode Island is generally high, with most zip codes exceeding 80%, though notable disparities emerge in urban core areas of Providence, where several zip codes in the central and southern parts of the city dip into the 60–75% range—among the lowest in the state. Suburban and exurban communities in the western and northern portions of the state, along with coastal areas of Washington County and Aquidneck Island, consistently reach 85–95%+ penetration. Block Island, visible at the bottom of the map, maintains moderate broadband coverage in the low-to-mid 80s, likely reflecting infrastructure constraints typical of island communities.
