August 2003, Internet Use by Region in the United States.
Via BET, we have MSNBC's "Blacks still use Internet less: Study points to African Americans' lag in technical fields," which draws part of its data from "Internet Use by Region in the United States," a new study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
Some of the report's data was broken out into smaller chunks.
- The race, age, and gender of Internet users also exhibit some distinct regional variations
- The National Capital has the highest proportion of African-American Internet users
- The Southeast region has one of the more racially and ethnically diverse user groups in the country
- The South has one of the largest groups of African-American users in the country
- The demographics of the Southern Internet population remained about the same between 2000 and 2001
- Internet users in the Industrial Midwest are overwhelmingly white
- The (Upper Midwest) region has the highest proportion of white Internet users in the country
- The user population of the Lower Midwest is predominantly white, but the region also has a larger share of African-American users compared with its neighbors
- There is a large proportion of Hispanic Internet users (in the Border States) here
- There were a few changes of note in the demographic makeup of the Border States user population, as well as in Internet usage patterns between 2000 and 2001
- A large proportion of the users in the (Mountain States) region are white
- There are few minority Internet users in the (Pacific Northwest) region
- The proportion of Hispanic Internet users (in California) is second only to that in the Border States
