Access to the internetQuestion: Response: This Fast Fact uses data from the American Community Survey (ACS) to describe the percentage of 3- to 18-year-olds who had home internet access in 2019. This Fast Fact also uses data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) to examine the main reasons reported for not having internet access in 2019. Internet Access from Home In 2019, some 95 percent of 3- to 18-year-olds had home internet access, according to the American Community Survey (ACS).1 Specifically, 88 percent had access through a computer,2 and 6 percent relied on a smartphone for home internet access.3,4 The percentages with home internet access in 2019, both through a computer and through a smartphone, were higher than in 2016 (87 and 5 percent, respectively), the first year in which data on internet access through smartphones were collected by ACS. Percentage of 3- to 18-year-olds who had home internet access, by child�s race/ethnicity: 2019 NOTE: Includes only 3- to 18-year-olds living in households (respondents living in group quarters such as shelters, healthcare facilities, or correctional facilities were not asked about internet access). Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. The percentages of 3- to 18-year-olds with home internet access varied across racial/ethnic groups. In 2019, the percentage with home internet access was highest for those who were Asian (99 percent) and lowest for those who were American Indian/Alaska Native (83 percent). The percentage for those who were of Two or more races (97 percent) was higher than for those who were White (96 percent), which was higher than for those who were Hispanic (92 percent), Black (91 percent), and Pacific Islander (90 percent). In addition, the percentage for those who were Hispanic was higher than for those who were Black. Overall, the higher the level of parental educational attainment, the higher the percentage of 3- to 18-year-olds with home internet access. For instance, in 2019, the percentage with home internet access was highest for those whose parents had attained a bachelor�s or higher degree (99 percent) and lowest for those whose parents had less than a high school credential (83 percent). Similarly, the higher the level of family income, the higher the percentage of 3- to 18-year-olds with home internet access. Specifically, in 2019, the percentage with home internet access was highest for those in families in the highest income quarter (99 percent), followed by those in the middle-high quarter (98 percent), the middle-low quarter (95 percent), and the lowest quarter (89 percent)5 Reasons for No Internet Access at Home To understand the barriers to more universal internet access, the Current Population Survey (CPS)6 asked families what their main reason was for not having access to the internet. In 2019, the two most commonly cited main reasons that 3- to 18-year-olds did not have home internet access were that the family did not need it or was not interested in having it (50 percent) and that it was too expensive (26 percent). Other main reasons cited for not having home internet access included the following: internet service was not available in the area (6 percent), the internet could be used somewhere else (4 percent), the home either had no computer or had a computer inadequate for internet use (2 percent), and the existence of privacy or security concerns (2 percent). Percentage distribution of 3- to 18-year-olds who had no internet access at home, by main reason for not having access: 2019  1 Respondents could specify “other” reasons. Examples of other reasons were not provided to respondents. In 2019, a higher percentage of Hispanic 3- to 18-year-olds than of their White peers lived in families who reported that home internet access was too expensive (31 vs. 22 percent). In addition, the percentages whose main barrier to home internet access was that it was too expensive were higher for those whose parents had a high school credential (32 percent), some college (30 percent), and less than a high school credential (29 percent) than for those whose parents had attained a bachelor�s or higher degree (20 percent). Similarly, the percentages whose main barrier to home internet access was that it was too expensive were higher for those with family income levels of less than $40,000 (ranging from 37 to 43 percent)7 than for those with family income levels of $40,000 or more (ranging from 12 to 17 percent).8 1 The American Community Survey (ACS) provides a large monthly sample of demographic, socioeconomic, and housing data comparable in content to the Long Forms of the Decennial Census.
