Recognizing the need for more precise periodic measurements of subscribership, the Commission requested that the Census Bureau include questions on telephone availability as part of its CPS, which monitors demographic trends between the decennial censuses. This survey is a staggered panel survey in which the people residing at particular addresses are included in the survey for four consecutive months in one year and the same four months in the following year. Use of the CPS has several advantages: it is conducted every month by an independent and expert agency; the sample is large; and the questions are consistent. Thus, changes in the results can be compared over time with a reasonable degree of confidence. Unfortunately, the results of the CPS cannot be directly compared with the penetration figures contained in the 1980, 1990, and 2000 decennial censuses. This is due to differences in sampling techniques and survey methodologies and because of differences in the context in which the questions were asked. For example, the 2000 decennial census reported 97.6% of all occupied housing units in the United States had telephone service available, whereas the CPS data showed a penetration rate of 94.6% of households for March 2000. This difference is statistically significant and appears to indicate that the CPS value may be on the low side and the decennial census value may be on the high side, with the most probable value lying somewhere in between. The specific questions asked in the CPS are: "Does this house, apartment, or mobile home have telephone service from which you can both make and receive calls? Please include cell phones, regular phones, and any other type of telephone." 3 And, if the answer to the first question is "no," this is followed up with, "Is there a telephone elsewhere on which people in this household can be called?" If the answer to the first question is "yes," the household is counted as having a telephone "in unit." If the answer to either the first or second question is "yes," the household is counted as having a telephone "available." The “in unit” data are reported in all of the tables and charts in this report. The “available” data are also reported in Tables 3 through 12 and Charts 1 and 8. 2 See Table 6, Statistics of Communications Common Carriers (Federal Communications Commission, Year Ended December 31, 1980). 3 The questions are intended to be neutral as to whether the household has wireline or wireless phones. Through November 2004, this question had been worded: "Is there a telephone in this house/ apartment?" Because of the increasing number of households that have wireless only, there was some concern that some of these households may not think of their mobile phones when asked if they have a telephone. Consequently, beginning in December 2004, CPS changed its telephone question to the wording given above. The values since March 2005 reflect the new question. While we note there was an apparent drop in the penetration rate between November 2004 and March 2005, at least some of this drop may be attributable to households that responded to the previous form of the question by reporting phones that were not in service. 3 3 Although the survey is conducted every month, not all questions are asked every month. The telephone questions are asked once every four months, in the month that a household is first included in the sample and in the month that the household re- enters the sample a year later. Since the sample is staggered, the reported information for any given month actually reflects responses over the preceding four months. Aggregated summaries of the responses are reported to the Commission, based on the surveys conducted through March, July, and November of each year. The CPS data are based on a nationwide sample of about 50 to 60 thousand households in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. (The CPS does not cover outlying areas that are not states, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.) Because a sample is used, the estimates are subject to sampling error. For the nationwide totals, changes in telephone penetration between consecutive reports of less than 0.4% may be due to sampling error and cannot be regarded as statistically significant. As explained below, when comparing the same month in two consecutive years, changes of less than or equal to 0.3% are not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. When comparing annual averages, changes of less than or equal to 0.2% are not statistically significant. The annual averages are the average of the three surveys of the year in question. For individual states or other subgroups of the U. S. population, the amount of sampling variability is much greater, because the sample sizes are smaller. This will require larger changes to yield statistical significance at the same confidence level. The data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. After adjusting for the trend over time, there is an average seasonal variation of about 0.2% among the reported months. All of the changes are below the threshold of statistical significance. Results and Statistical Analysis Census Bureau figures for March 2006, the most recent data available, show that the percentage of households subscribing to telephone service was 92.8%. This is not a statistically significant change from the 92.9% of November 2005. In contrast to the change during the prior four- month period, the percentage of subscribing households has increased 0.4% since March 2005. 4 This increase is statistically significant. This report includes figures showing subscribership percentages by state, by the head of the household's age and race, by household size, by income, and, for adult individuals, by labor force status. The March 2006 data show that 93.7% of adult individuals in the civilian non-institutionalized population (CNP) have a telephone in their household. This is not a statistically significant change from November 2005. Since March 2005 the percentage has increased 0.5%. This increase is statistically significant. This report contains twelve tables and eight charts presenting penetration statistics for various geographic and demographic characteristics. The charts and the first two tables present summaries of the information. Tables 3 through 7 present more detailed information. In these tables, only the annual averages are included for the years 1984 through 2003. March, July, and 4 As noted below (p. 5), changes from year to year for the same month are more reliable than changes between consecutive reporting periods. 4 4 November data for those years are available in previous subscribership reports or Monitoring Reports in CC Docket Nos. 87- 339 or 98- 202. Tables 8 through 12 provide information necessary to determine the statistical significance of changes in the penetration rates over time. Table 1 summarizes the telephone penetration for the United States, combining information on the number of households with the penetration rates. Chart 1 graphically depicts the nationwide penetration rates for households over time. Table 2 summarizes the telephone penetration rates by state, showing the rates for November 1983 and March 2006, the change between those two months, and an indication as to whether the change is statistically significant. The statistical significance of a change is determined not only by the magnitude of that change, but also by the sizes of the samples used to estimate the change. Chart 2 depicts the states with March 2006 penetration rates (as shown in Table 2) more than 1% below the national average, within 1% of the national average, or more than 1% above the national average. Chart 3 depicts changes in household penetration rates by state (as shown in Table 2) between November 1983 and March 2006. States with statistically significant increases or decreases are shown, along with other states with increases or decreases. Chart 4 depicts the relationship between telephone penetration and household income, using March 2006 penetration rates for all households and for households headed by white, black, and Hispanic persons. It is based on data in Table 4. Chart 5 depicts the relationship between telephone penetration and household size, using March 2006 penetration rates for all households and for households headed by white, black, and Hispanic persons. It is based on data in Table 5. Chart 6 depicts the relationship between telephone penetration and the head of the household's age, using March 2006 penetration rates for all households and for households headed by white, black, and Hispanic persons. It is based on data in Table 6. Chart 7 depicts the relationship between telephone penetration and labor force status for civilian non- institutionalized adults, using March 2006 penetration rates for all adults and for white, black, and Hispanic adults. It is based on data in Table 7. Chart 8 graphically depicts the nationwide penetration rates for civilian non-institutionalized adults over time. It is also based on data in Table 7. Table 3 shows the CPS responses for the United States and for each state beginning with November 1983. Because the CPS began collecting this data only in 1983, comparable values are not available prior to November 1983. For each of the surveys, the column headed "Unit" indicates the percentage of households for which there is telephone service in the housing unit. The column headed "Avail" indicates the percentage of households which have telephone service 5 5 available for incoming and outgoing calls, either in the housing unit or elsewhere (such as at work or at a neighbor’s home). Table 4 shows the nationwide penetration rates for households by income and the race of the head of the household. It shows a strong relationship between income and penetration. Caution should be used in comparing these figures over time, because these income levels are not adjusted for inflation. Thus, the same nominal income level at two points in time will reflect different real incomes in terms of purchasing power. 5 Also, the income categories have changed over time due to the changing value of the dollar. Table 5 shows the nationwide penetration rates for households by the size of the household and the race of the head of the household. It shows that penetration is higher for households of 2 to 5 people than it is for single- person households or those with 6 or more people. Table 6 shows the nationwide penetration rates for households by the age and race of the head of the household. It shows that the penetration rate is lowest for young and non- white households. Table 7 shows the nationwide penetration rates for all persons that are at least 15 years old in the civilian non- institutionalized population by their race and employment status. Since this table is for individual adults rather than households, the total penetration rates are different from those in the previous tables. It shows that penetration is lowest among the unemployed. Tables 8 through 12 present the critical values at the 95% confidence level for testing the statistical significance of changes in penetration rates over time in the earlier tables. These critical values are relevant because changes less than or equal to the values shown are likely to be due to sampling error and thus cannot be regarded as demonstrating that a change in telephone penetration has occurred. In some cases, these critical values are very large because the sample sizes are very small for these subcategories, rendering the changes in estimated penetration rates unreliable. Because there is an overlap of half of the sample from year to year, but no overlap in the sample between surveys that are four months apart, annual changes are less subject to variations in sampling error. Consequently, the critical values should be multiplied by 0.8 when making a comparison for the same month in two consecutive years. When comparing the annual averages, the critical values should be multiplied by 0.5774, since these averages are based on three surveys and hence have a lower standard error. When comparing annual averages of two consecutive years, the critical values should be multiplied by .46, taking into account both of the above factors. 5 Our publication Telephone Penetration by Income by State (last published May 12, 2006) makes adjustments for inflation, making comparisons over time more appropriate. 6 HouseholdsPercentageHouseholdsPercentage withwithwithoutwithout DateHouseholdsTelephonesTelephonesTelephonesTelephones (millions)( millions)( millions) November198385.878.491.4% 7.48.6% March198486.078.991.8% 7.18.2% July198486.679.391.6% 7.38.4% November198487.479.991.4% 7.58.6% March198587.480.291.8% 7.28.2% July198588.281.091.8% 7.28.2% November198588.881.691.9% 7.28.1% March198689.082.192.2% 6.97.8% July198689.582.592.2% 7.07.8% November198689.983.192.4% 6.87.6% March198790.283.492.5% 6.87.5% July198790.783.792.3% 7.07.7% November198791.384.392.3% 7.07.7% March198891.885.392.9% 6.57.1% July198892.485.792.8% 6.77.2% November198892.685.792.5% 6.97.5% March198993.687.093.0% 6.67.0% July198993.887.593.3% 6.36.7% November198993.987.393.0% 6.67.0% March199094.287.993.3% 6.36.7% July199094.888.493.3% 6.46.7% November199094.788.493.3% 6.36.7% March199195.389.293.6% 6.16.4% July199195.589.193.3% 6.46.7% November199195.789.493.4% 6.36.6% March199296.690.793.9% 5.96.1% July199296.690.693.8% 6.06.2% November199297.091.093.8% 6.06.2% March199397.391.694.2% 5.75.8% July199397.992.294.2% 5.75.8% November199398.893.094.2% 5.85.8% March199498.192.193.9% 6.06.1% July199498.692.493.7% 6.26.3% November199499.893.793.8% 6.26.2% March199599.993.893.9% 6.16.1% July1995100.094.094.0% 6.06.0% November1995100.494.293.9% 6.26.1% March1996100.694.493.8% 6.26.2% July1996101.295.093.9% 6.16.1% November1996101.395.193.9% 6.26.1% March1997102.095.893.9% 6.26.1% July1997102.396.193.9% 6.26.1% November1997102.896.593.8% 6.36.2% March1998103.497.494.1% 6.15.9% July1998103.497.394.1% 6.15.9% November1998104.198.094.2% 6.15.8% March1999104.898.594.0% 6.36.0% July1999105.199.294.4% 5.95.6% November1999105.499.194.1% 6.35.9% March2000105.399.694.6% 5.75.4% July2000105.899.894.4% 5.95.6% November2000106.5100.294.1% 6.35.9% March2001107.0101.194.6% 5.85.4% July2001106.9101.795.1% 5.24.9% November2001107.7102.294.9% 5.55.1% March2002108.3103.495.5% 4.84.5% July2002108.5103.295.1% 5.34.9% November2002109.0104.095.3% 5.14.7% March2003112.1107.195.5% 5.04.5% July2003112.1106.895.2% 5.34.8% November2003113.1107.194.7% 6.05.3% March2004112.9106.494.2% 6.55.8% July2004113.5106.593.8% 7.16.2% November2004113.8106.493.5% 7.46.5% March2005114.5105.892.4% 8.77.6% July2005114.4107.594.0% 6.86.0% November2005115.2107.092.9% 8.27.1% March2006115.5107.292.8% 8.47.2% Note: Details may not appear to add to totals due to rounding.
