Which Minnesotans are most likely to use ride-hailing services?

Minnesotans with higher incomes and those with college degrees are especially likely to have used ride-hailing services like Uber or Lyft.

·      82% of Minnesotans with upper incomes have used a ride-hailing service

·      70% of Minnesotans with a college degree have done this

By contrast, these Minnesotans are the most likely to say they have not used a ride-hailing service: 

·      69% of Minnesotans ages 65 or older

·      65% of those with a high school degree or less

·      62% of Greater Minnesota residents

These findings come from a Minnesota Community Survey of 3,399 adults conducted from July 20 to Nov. 22, 2024.

Most frequent users of ride-sharing services

Minnesotans most likely to have used a ride-hailing service are not necessarily the most frequent users of services like Uber or Lyft.

These groups of Minnesotans are the most likely to have used a ride-hailing service at least once a month:

·      46% of Black Minnesotans 

·      38% of those ages 18-29

·      38% of those with lower incomes

Most other groups are far less likely to be frequent users of ride-hailing services. Overall, 22% of Minnesota adults say they use ride-hailing services at least once a month.
