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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Broadband adoption rates across West Virginia exhibit a pronounced north-south gradient, with zip codes in the Eastern Panhandle and northern tier consistently reaching 85–95%+ coverage, while clusters in the southern coalfield counties—particularly in Mingo, McDowell, and Wyoming counties—drop below 50–60%. The central mountainous region displays significant fragmentation, with pockets of high connectivity near population centers like Charleston and Morgantown surrounded by adjacent rural zip codes lagging 20–30 percentage points behind. Gray-shaded areas with missing data concentrate in sparsely populated zones, likely reflecting zip codes with insufficient sample sizes in the ACS estimates.
