The bar chart illustrates the proportion of households in various income brackets that had access to the internet in a European country from 2007 to 2013.
Overall, internet access increased across all income groups over the period, with high-income households consistently showing the highest level of access. In contrast, low-income households had the lowest access throughout, though they experienced a notable rise.
In 2007, around 20% of low-income households had internet access, compared to about 40% of middle-income and nearly 75% of high-income households. Over the following years, access steadily rose in all categories. By 2013, over 90% of high-income households had internet access, while the figure for middle-income households reached approximately 70%. Low-income households also saw a significant improvement, climbing to just over 50%.
Despite the upward trend for all groups, a clear gap remained between income levels, suggesting that income continued to influence internet accessibility.
