        About the Data: About 4.2% of all households reported household internet use without a paid subscription – these were not included in the demographic analysis. High-speed internet indicates a household has an internet service type other than dial-up alone. The data excludes those living in group quarters (i.e. nursing homes, correctional facilities, military barracks, and college/university housing).

        The data used in the report comes from the American Community Survey which surveys about 290,000 households each month.
