• 2% of homes have a landline and no cell phone.
• Only 1% of homes have no landline or cell phone.
• 34% of homeowners still have a landline. Only 15% of renters have a landline.
• Landline usage is correlated with age. 88% of adults between 25-29 only use a cell phone. Only 47% of those over 65 only use a cell phone.
• Interestingly, there is not much difference in cell phone usage based on level of education.
• There is some correlation between household income and cell phone usage. 78% of homes that are below the poverty line only use cell phones while 72% of those making twice the rate of poverty or higher use only cell phones.
• There is virtually no difference in the percentage of homes that use only cellphones between urban and rural areas.
• There is a big geographic difference in households that only have cell phones. Nearly 80% of homes only use cell phones in Idaho, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Wyoming, and New Mexico. The states with the lowest percentage of homes that only use cell phones are New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. The whole northeast has fewer homes that rely on only cell phones than the rest of the country.
• There is no correlation between still having a landline and having a computer or tablet in the home.”
