I need some help with Internet statistics. Every source I see show the percentage of each group that uses the Internet (e.g. 98% of those 18-29). 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.
This might help your requirement: http://www.internetworldstats.com/ for instance, the Americas stats page: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats2.htm offers numbers for internet population instead of percentage. But of course, there is no age or location stratification.

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 On Nov 29, 2013, at 1:24 PM, Joly MacFie wrote:

Here are the latest Internet usage stats from Canada, and you should be able to drill down to find what you need by visiting the Statistics Canada Web site (link provided). Good luck! Adrian Canadian Internet Use Survey, 2012 In 2012, 83% of Canadian households had access to the Internet at home, compared with 79% in 2010. About 85% of households located in census metropolitan areas and 80% of households located in census agglomerations had home Internet access, compared with 75% of households outside these areas. The rates of household access were highest in British Columbia and Alberta at 86%, followed by Ontario at 84%. About 69% of connected households used more than one type of device to go online in 2012. Laptop and desktop computers remain the preferred types of hardware of Canadians to access the Internet from home, with 74% and 62% of connected households relying on those devices respectively in 2012. That said, the proportion of connected households using wireless handheld devices from home to go online has increased from 35% in 2010 to 59% in 2012. *Source:* (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/131126/dq131126d-eng.htm ) On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 2:18 PM, <S.Livingstone@lse.ac.uk> wrote:
