Landline phones continue to disappear, according to a semiannual update by the National Center for Health Statistics. This was the telephone status of U.S. adults as of July-December 2013 (versus July-December 2010)...
Landline and wireless: 52% (59%)
Wireless only: 39% (28%)
Landline only: 7% (11%)
No telephone: 2% (2%)
Not surprisingly, younger adults are far more likely to live in a wireless-only household. In the last half of 2013, most adults under age 35 were wireless-only, the figure peaking at 66 percent among those aged 25 to 29...
Live in wireless-only household by age
18 to 24: 53%
25 to 29: 66%
30 to 34: 60%
35 to 44: 48%
45 to 64: 31%
65-plus: 14%
Also more likely to live in wireless-only households are the poor (56%), Hispanics (53%), and renters (62%).
