Midwesterners are the most frugal when it comes to debt. Close to two-thirds of the people in the poll say they have a computer in their home with Internet access. Nevertheless, this survey lends credence to fears about a digital divide that advantages more-affluent Americans. Internet accessibility is more prevalent among whites than blacks or Hispanics, and professionals or managers are far more likely to have this access than are blue-collar workers. Geographically, Internet access is greater on the two coasts than in the middle of the country, and it is far more common among urbanites than rural residents.
