To determine which countries U.S. immigrants are from today, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed figures compiled by the Migration Policy Institute, which used data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2010, 2019, and 2022 American Community Surveys, and 2000 Decennial Census. We included 35 countries that are the country of birth for at least 250,000 immigrants. We also added gross national income in constant 2021 dollars (purchasing power parity method) with figures from the World Bank. For reference, the U.S. GNI per capita is $72,497.
94% of U.S. households have internet access. This is the highest rate ever recorded by the Census Bureau. The U.S. "offline population" has fallen nearly 70% since 2015, from 26.9 million to 7.9 million households. This is the biggest decade of digital inclusion on record. Only 0.9% - about 100,000 households - still use dial-up Internet. This follows AOL's shutdown of its remaining service in August.
In remote cities like Elko, NV, 12% of workers commute using public transit, comparable to many suburbs in larger metropolitan areas. This indicates a higher uptake in transit where it is typically overlooked.
