Technology profile of low income renters

During the pandemic, low-income American renters were a large segment of Americans strongly disrupted by shutdowns, work interruptions, and even evictions. This historically socioeconomically disadvantaged market segment has the potential to benefit from technology that can enable less dangerous occupations, although starting from lower-than-average market penetration levels. This MetaFacts TUPdate report details how far below average this segment is in their use of connected devices, which types of devices they are (and aren’t) using, and how often they’re using what they have. Furthermore, it quantifies how many online adults in this segment do (and don’t) work from home.
