U.S. broadband information

How many households actually have internet at home.

Not how many could buy it. How many say they pay for it. Every figure is a Census Bureau estimate published with its margin of error, and every comparison on this site is tested before it is stated.

Households with a broadband subscription, United States

91.0%

± 0.1 points at the 90% confidence level, of 129,227,496 households, in the 2024 American Community Survey.

The Bureau's own figure for the whole country. It is not the places on this site added together: Census places do not cover the whole country, so that sum omits every household outside one and has no margin of error.

Find a place

32,330 Census places across 52 states and territories. Search by place name; thousands of names are shared between states, so every result names its own.

The whole country at once

Every state shaded by its own published subscription rate, equal-area projected, with each state's margin of error and what little separates the highest from the lowest.

Which places subscribe most, and least

Places ranked against each other, with the thin estimates and the saturated samples excluded and counted, because a rank built on either would mislead.

A different question: what providers report

Separately from what households say they buy, providers file with the Federal Communications Commission what they say they could serve. That answers a different question and is never combined with the figures above: one is a survey of households, the other a filing by companies, and neither is a guarantee that a particular address can get service.
