The chattiest states in America
With fewer gatherings in person throughout the year, Americans talked on the phone 25% more often and calls lasted 15% longer in 2020, according to this report. For the second year in a row the CenturyLinkQuote team researched how much time Americans spent talking on the phone, texting, writing old-fashioned letters, and communicating by email to find out this year’s chattiest states.
Just as in our 2020 report, Nebraska was the chattiest state, its combined phone, email, and snail mail communication time going up from one hour and six minutes (1:06:00) to one hour and twenty-four minutes (1:24:00), well above the American average of 43 minutes per day.
On the other end of the spectrum, New Hampshire had the most reclusive residents, with only 19 minutes of total communication time per day, down from last year’s already low 31 minutes.
