Ipsos conducted this National Public Opinion Reference Survey (NPORS) for the Center using address-based sampling and a multimode protocol that included both web and mail.

The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race and ethnicity, education and other categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Polls from 2000 to 2021 were conducted via phone.

These differences are in line with the last time the Center asked about <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/internet\/2021\/06\/03\/mobile-technology-and-home-broadband-2021\/\">smartphone ownership and home broadband subscription in 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"smartphone-use\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smartphone use<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smartphones are common across income levels, but those in households earning $100,000 or more annually are far more likely than those earning less than $30,000 per year to have one (98% vs. 79%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also differences by education. Adults who have a bachelor\u2019s degree or some college education own smartphones at higher rates than those with a high school diploma or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Age also plays a role: Adults 50 and older \u2013 especially those who are at least 65 \u2013 are less likely than their younger counterparts to own a smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"home-broadband\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home broadband<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are large gaps between the lowest- and highest-income Americans in whether they have a broadband subscription. Nearly all (95%) adults with an annual household income of at least $100,000 say they have one. This compares with 57% of adults in households that make less than $30,000 per year. A similar pattern emerges by level of formal education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While most adults living in rural areas (73%) subscribe to high-speed internet at home, they are less likely to do so than their peers living in suburban areas (86%) and slightly less likely than those living in urban settings (77%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asian (84%) and White (83%) adults are more likely than Hispanic (75%) or Black (68%) adults to say they subscribe to home broadband. Many of these differences between racial and ethnic groups fade, though, when accounting for income, education, age and community type.[1.

This compares with about four-in-ten or fewer among those with an annual household income less than $100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Differences also emerge by the type of community that adults live in.
