[Air-L] Internet statistics

[Alexander Furnas]

Hi Tom,
You should be able to download the Pew Internet and American Life data http://www.pewinternet.org/Data-Tools/Download-Data.aspx then subset the for only internet users and tabulate by the demographics you want. The demographics they show in their report are the kind that you talk about (*e.g. 86 percent of urban people are internet users etc). But from the bulk data you can walk the numbers back out to what you want.  Of course this is only valid in the America context.

For UK numbers you could probably do the same thing with OxIS data http://oxis.oii.ox.ac.uk/.

Not sure what the best source would be for demographic information on the global internet user population. 

Hope that helps.

Best,
Zander

I am looking for statistics that indicate of the total Internet population, what percentage use the Internet (e.g. of the Internet population, what percentage is 18-29 so that, in this case, age figures would add up to 100%). I wonder because we always compare our samples to Census figures when the proper comparison should be the Internet population.
