Countries with the Fewest Internet Users 2024

About This Dataset

Countries with the Fewest Internet Users 2024
The twenty countries with the lowest internet users (% of population) in 2024, from World Bank figures for the 172 countries that reported that year. Burundi records the lowest figure at 8.60, with Uganda (8.95) and Chad (12.63) next. The share of people who used the internet from any location in the last three months, collected by national household surveys. Countries survey in different years and word the question differently, so small gaps between neighbours are not meaningful.
Analysis

Burundi (8.60), Uganda (8.95) and Chad (12.63) record the three lowest figures. Across the twenty shown, values run from 8.60 up to 31.70, a spread of 23.10. Only 0.35 separates Burundi from Uganda, the next country up. 7 of the 20 sit within double the lowest figure, 17.20 or less. The chart shows the twenty lowest of 172 reporting countries, so it describes the bottom of the distribution rather than the world average. Countries recorded as zero are left out: the World Bank writes zero where a country did not report.

How the figures are calculated
  • Values are shown as reported by the source. Nothing is rescaled, rebased or converted — the only changes are thousand separators and decimals shown to two places.
  • Entities are ranked lowest-first, because on this measure a lower number is the better result.
