Looking for a particular platform?

Our U.S. platform briefs summarize selected Pew Research Center findings for adults aged 18+, including people who do not use the internet. They answer a different question from NTIA's survey. Limited attributed findings are available to read and cite; bulk Pew data and chart downloads are not offered.

Explore the European collection

Eurostat covers 27 EU countries plus its EU aggregate, seven population groups and 2023–2025. Its denominator is all individuals aged 16–74, with a three-month activity window. It cannot be placed in a direct ranking against the U.S. NTIA estimate.
