The 2005 Minnesota Internet Study: An examination of metro/rural differences in digital technology adoption

Our statewide estimate at the end of 2005 is that 1,379,570 or 68.0 percent of all Minnesota households currently possess at least one working computer; 1,208,526 or 59.6 percent of all Minnesota households currently maintain a home Internet connection; and 737,397 or 36.4 percent of all Minnesota households connect to the Internet from home using a broadband connection.

In addition, socio-demographic factors such as age, income, or whether school-age kids are present in the home are extremely good predictors of technology adoption in both rural and metro Minnesota.
