How many US children ages 6-10 have computers in their bedrooms?
Internet access in their bedrooms? Need up-to-date (preferably 2006),
authoritative statistics. Not interested in info on older ages.

Statistics as specific as the ones you're requesting may not be
available outside of a specifically-commissioned survey which
will not likely be available to the public, or will cost a good
amount to obtain.

This 2005 article in Direct Magazine, by Jim Emerson, titled,
'MARKET OVERVIEW - Kid Power', notes:

"...close to 17% of children have computers in their bedroom"
http://www.directmag.com/exclusive/specialreports/2004_may_12_direct_listline_0/

It doesn't specify whether they have internet access, though 
it's fair to guess that the majority do, and since the article's
focus is on marketing, this seems to be suggested.

It also doesn't state the age range of the children, so it 
could include all those 17 and below.

The article cites sources which might provide a starting 
point for more precise research, but I think it unlikely 
that you'll find anything so specific readily available
on the web:

"Sources (other than those cited above): America Online,
 CMR/TNS Media Intelligence, Digital Marketing Services
 Inc., Grunwald Associates, Journal of the American Medical
 Association, Knowledge Networks/SRI, Rensselaer Polytechnic
 Institute"


Let me know where this takes you...

Thanks, I assume someone somewhere has this information. Can you find
a source for me and how much they would charge?

Hello creedmore,

Would you like a paying source even if the information is for 18- or
17-year-olds and younger?
