Link to June 17 Pew Internet & American Life Project report, "Home Broadband Adoption 2009".
Excerpt: Home broadband adoption stood at 63% of adult Americans as of April 2009, up from 55% in May 2008.
The latest findings of the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project mark a departure from the stagnation in home high-speed adoption rates that had prevailed from December 2007 through December 2008. During that period, Pew Internet Project surveys found that home broadband penetration remained in a narrow range between 54% and 57%.
Change in percentages in specific subgroups from May 2008 to April 2009:
- Those 65 and older: 19% to 30%.
- Household income $20,o00 or less: 25% to 35%.
- African-Americans: 43% to 46%.
- Rural residents: 38% to 46%
- High-school graduates: 40% to 52%.
- Older baby boomers (50-64): 50% to 61%.
