The Digital Divide: It’s About Quality of Access – Public Policy Institute of California

By Dean Bonner, research associate, Public Policy Institute of California

PPIC’s June survey brings into sharp focus a digital divide in broadband connectivity between Latinos and other racial/ethnic groups. About half of Latinos (52%) have a broadband connection at home, compared to 81 percent of whites and strong majorities of blacks and Asians. The 29-point divide between Latinos and whites has narrowed by only 5 points since the 2008 survey—despite an 18-point increase among Latinos in that time.
