42% of Americans 65 and older do not have broadband

[42% is the] proportion of Americans 65 and older who do not have broadband at home, a percentage that increases for low-income and Black and Latino seniors. However, the pandemic has encouraged many to get more comfortable online: Americans 65 and older spent an average of $187 per month online in 2020, a 60 percent increase from the year prior.
