The broadband adoption gap between whites and blacks is around twice as big as for internet use
in general—12 percentage points. As with internet use, differences between white and black are
most concentrated among older adults and those with low levels of educational attainment. Just
30% of African Americans age 65 or older, and 39% of African Americans who have not attended
college, are home broadband users. By contrast, broadband adoption is nearly universal among
young adults, the college educated, and those in higher-income households, regardless of whether
those individuals are black or white.
