The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has just released state-by-state estimates of the proportion of cellphone-only households in a study reported in the National Health Statistics Report. No surprise that DC tops the list (with 25.4%), but take a gander at the states that follow close behind: Oklahoma (25.1%), Utah (23.9%), Nebraska (22.4%), and a bunch of other, er, unlikely-seeming places. For a full listing, scroll down to Table I in the Report or click on the “Behind the Numbers” link below.
I’m just not seeing a forest in all these trees.
Any ideas about what might account for the substantial interstate variability?
