telephones per 100 people, by state

State-wise Telephones per 100 Population · 2025 · ranked out of 17 states reporting that year

Rank 1 is the state with the highest value that year, not the best or most desirable result — a neutral ordering, never a judgement on the underlying number.

Only 17 states report this measure for 2025 — too few for a fair ranking, so states are listed alphabetically instead of ranked.
