% of Households with Broadband Internet, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — St. Louis Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband internet adoption in the St. Louis metro area exhibits a stark urban-suburban divide, with zip codes in and immediately surrounding downtown St. Louis displaying the lowest rates—often below 60%—while outer suburban areas to the west and southwest consistently exceed 85-90%. The western suburbs, particularly areas near St. Peters and pockets south of St. Charles, register the highest broadband penetration at or near 95-100%, appearing in bright yellow. A corridor of lower connectivity extends northward from downtown through Florissant and into the near north suburbs, suggesting that both the urban core and historically underinvested northern communities face significant digital access gaps compared to the more affluent western and southern periphery.
