by Brian Mckenzie (CENSUS/SEHSD FED)

Good morning, Just wanted to give a heads up that the new county commuting flows, based on the 5-year 2009-2013 ACS were released today. The tables include the typical worker flow counts as well as a means of transportation component (4 categories: drove alone, carpool, transit, other). The tables also include a metropolitan area indicator, so it is possible to sort and organize by metro area. Enjoy, Brian Brian McKenzie, Ph.D. Analyst, Journey to Work and Migration Statistics Branch U.S. Census Bureau Email: brian.mcKenzie(a)census.gov<mailto:brian.mcKenzie@census.gov>
