The Census Bureau came out with their latest information on internet access in the United States. The numbers, from 2007, show that New Mexico is still behind many states when it comes to residents having access to the internet.

New Mexico ranks 42nd among states where individuals have access to internet in “some location” either in or out of the house — just 57.9 percent of New Mexicans have access to internet. That is well below the 76.1 percent of Alaskans or 74.6 percent of residents of New Hampshire who have access to the internet in some location — those two states rank first and second.

The average is 62.4 percent nationally.

On the other end of the spectrum, Mississippi barely cracks 50 percent and ranks dead last in the category — just 51.1 percent of Mississippi residents have access to the internet.

Of New Mexicans who have internet available to them, 61.3 percent have internet access in their homes. This ranks 40th in the nation. Again leading the pack are Alaska and New Hampshire, this time switching the top slot. Of those with internet access in New Hampshire, 82.6 percent have internet access in their homes. In Alaska, that number is 78.5 percent.

And once again Mississippi brings up the rear.
