WASHINGTON, June 17, 2024 – A new government survey found 13 million more Americans used the internet in 2023 than 2021, the largest increase in seven years. But, the report found, historically disadvantaged households were still less able to get online.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s internet use survey asks Americans every two years about how they get online. It’s been conducted for 30 years in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau.
