The data reported here result from a general question about whether people use social networking sites of any kind, rather than an aggregation of individual site usage. No data is available from 2007.] At the same time, there continues to be growth in social media usage among some groups that were not among the earliest adopters, including older Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The figures reported here are for social media usage among all adults, not just among those Americans who are internet users. In many previous Pew Research reports, the share of social media users has been reported as the proportion of <em>internet users<\/em> who had adopted such sites, rather than the full adult population, which continues to include a relatively small share (currently 15%) who still remain offline. In this report, a broader picture of the American landscape is presented, and so the figures are based on the entire adult population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across demographic groups, a number of trends emerge in this analysis of social media usage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Age differences: Seniors make strides \u2013 <\/strong>Young adults (ages 18 to 29) are the most likely to use social media \u2013 fully 90% do. Still, usage among those 65 and older has more than tripled since 2010 when 11% used social media. Today, 35% of all those 65 and older report using social media, compared with just 2% in 2005.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gender differences: Women and men use social media at similar rates&nbsp;\u2013 <\/strong>Women were more&nbsp;likely than men to use social networking sites for a number of years, although since 2014 these differences have been modest. Today, 68% of all women use social media, compared with 62% of all men.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Socio-economic differences: Those with higher education levels and household income lead the way \u2013 <\/strong>Over the past decade, it has consistently been the case that those in higher-income households were more likely to use social media. More than half (56%) of those living in the lowest-income households now use social media, though growth has leveled off in the past few years. Turning to educational attainment, a similar pattern is observed. Those with at least some college experience have been consistently more likely than those with a high school degree or less to use social media over the past decade. 2013 was the first year that more than half of those with a high school diploma or less used social media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Racial and ethnic similarities: <\/strong>There are not notable differences by racial or ethnic group: 65% of whites, 65% of Hispanics and 56% of African-Americans use social media today.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Community differences:<\/strong> <strong>More than half of rural residents now use social media \u2013 <\/strong>Those who live in rural areas are less likely than those in suburban and urban communities to use social media, a pattern consistent over the past decade. Today, 58% of rural residents, 68% of suburban residents, and 64% of urban residents use social media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What follows is an overview of changes over time in social media by various demographic groups. A full archive of Pew Research Center reports on different social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn as well as about social media usage on mobile devices in general can be found at: <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/internet\/topics\/social-networking\/\">https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/internet\/topics\/social-networking\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;social-media-usage-by-age-ubiquitous-among-youngest-adults-notable-among-older-adults&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"social-media-usage-by-age-ubiquitous-among-youngest-adults-notable-among-older-adults\">Social Media Usage by Age: Ubiquitous Among Youngest Adults, Notable Among Older Adults<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\nAge is strongly correlated with social media usage: Those ages 18 to 29 have always been the most likely users of social media by a considerable margin. Today, 90% of young adults use social media, compared with 12% in 2005, a 78-percentage point increase. At the same time, there has been a 69-point bump among those ages 30-49, from 8% in 2005 to 77% today.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-chart-builder\">\t\t<div style=\"max-width:640px\" class=\"wp-chart-builder-wrapper alignnone wp-block-prc-chart-builder-controller\" id=\"3af10cdb-cd68-441b-b3e2-74fc794a756fab\" data-wp-interactive=\"prc-chart-builder\/controller\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;3af10cdb-cd68-441b-b3e2-74fc794a756fab&quot;,&quot;postId&quot;:93967,&quot;postUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org\\\/internet\\\/2015\\\/10\\\/08\\\/social-networking-usage-2005-2015\\\/&quot;,&quot;chartPostUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org\\\/chart\\\/social-media-users-over-time-by-age\\\/&quot;,&quot;postPubDate&quot;:&quot;2015-10-08&quot;,&quot;rootUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org&quot;,&quot;featuredImageId&quot;:null,&quot;featuredImageUrl&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Young Adults Still Are the Most Likely to Use Social Media&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;Among all American adults, % who use social networking sites, by age&quot;,&quot;note&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;source&quot;:&quot;Source: Pew Research Center surveys, 2005-2006, 2008-2015.
