About this data

  • Each share is of occupied households in that area on ACS table B28002 or B28003, not a count of people.
  • A median of state rates is not a United States figure. States have different numbers of households, so these percentages cannot be averaged to produce a national rate.
  • The Census published 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. None of the estimates were suppressed, and none of the margins of error were the ACS controlled-estimate sentinel.
  • With an Internet subscription includes dial-up and broadband. Broadband of any type is almost the entire subscription total; dial-up alone is rare.
  • Households can also have Internet access without a paid subscription. That residual is not counted in the subscription share. No Internet access is the remaining group.
  • Has a computer includes a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet. A household can have a computer without an Internet subscription.
