The pie graph illustrates the proportion of social media users, ranging from 13 to over 55 years old, in five age groups in Jamestown in a survey conducted in 2018.
Overall, it is evident that the youngest generation between 13 and 25 years old use social media platforms the most among the population of Jamestown. Conversely, elderly people over 55 years old use social media the least.
The chart illustrates the distribution of social media users in Jamestown by age group in the year 2018. It is immediately clear that the younger population dominates social media usage. The largest proportion of users falls into the 13 to 25 age group, which makes up 40% of all users. This is followed closely by those aged 26 to 35, accounting for 35%. These two groups alone comprise 75% of the total user base, highlighting the popularity of social media among younger individuals.
In contrast, older age groups use social media far less frequently. The 36 to 45 age bracket represents only 15% of users, while the 46 to 55 age group accounts for just 8%. The smallest segment is people over 55 years old, making up a mere 2% of users. This trend suggests a significant digital divide between generations, with younger users being much more active on social media platforms compared to their older counterparts.
