Yes. The most significant digital signals are +/- 10 to 15 kHz from the center frequency. Take a look at the RF spectrum FFT of WBZ HD here... http://www.bamlog.com/wbz.htm The image is annotated to make it easier to understand. You'll see the carrier center frequency of 1030 kHz, the analog content covering +/- 5 kHz from the center frequency, and then the strongest digital content covering +/- 10 to 15 kHz from the center frequency. There is additional low-level digital content covering the 'empty' space between the analog and digital, but it's insignificant and only a nuisance if close to the transmitter site. The biggest problem is when two radio stations 20 kHz apart are transmitting HD digital. My worst frequency is 1070 kHz because it gets digital interference from 1060 KYW HD on the upper side and 1080 WTIC HD on the lower side. On an ultralight, some combination of off-frequency tuning and using the directional antenna to null interference is required in this case.
