Smartphone-Only Internet Access Among Low-Income Households Reaches 26%

Some things do not seem to change: in developing or developed nations, lower-income consumers use phones for internet access. Roughly 26 percent of households with income less than $30,000 annually rely on smartphones for internet access, Pew Research Center reports.

Low-income U.S. households are steadily increasing their internet use, but the usage gap between higher-income households and lower-income households remains.


Subsidized service for lower-income households helps. But there still is a correlation between internet use and education, age and geography, not just income.
