Internet use and Broadband adoption
Nationally, there is a seven percentage point gap between whites and blacks when it comes to
internet use. Internet use is nearly universal among younger adults, the college-educated, and
those with relatively high incomes, regardless of race. But older blacks are significantly less likely
to go online than their white counterparts—just 45% of African Americans age 65 or older use the
internet. Internet use is also notably less common among blacks who have not attended college,
compared with whites with a similar level of educational attainment.
