The graph delineates the percentage of households across various income brackets that had access to the internet from 2010 to 2020.
It is evident that there was a significant upward trend in internet access among all income groups during the specified period, with the highest access rates recorded among the highest income households.
In 2010, internet access was markedly lower among low-income households, with only approximately 21% connected. This percentage experienced a substantial increase, rising to around 42% by 2020. Similarly, households within the second income group saw an increase from 52% in 2010 to 72% in 2020. The growth trend indicates a pronounced enhancement in internet connectivity for these lower and middle-income groups.
Conversely, households in the third income group exhibited a significant improvement from 65% access in 2010 to approximately 85% in 2020. Moreover, those in the highest income bracket displayed the most remarkable increase, with internet access surging from about 80% in 2010 to an impressive 95% in 2020. This data underscores a widening digital divide that persists, albeit with diminishing disparity, across different income levels.
