Utah No. 1 in homes with computers

WASHINGTON — Nearly three in four Utah households own a computer, a higher percentage than in any other state, according to a new census report.

Computer and Internet use are up nationwide, but so are concerns about identity theft and other online dangers.

Fifty-five percent of American households had access to the Internet at home in 2003, more than triple the percentage in 1997, according to a report released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau.

In Utah, there were computers in an estimated 596,000 households. Some 503,000 households, or 63 percent, were online — the nation's fifth highest rate of Internet usage. That's up from 14th in a 2001 census survey, said Robert Spendlove, manager of demographic and economic analysis for the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget.
