We are trying to come up with an estimate of adult "daytime" female population for each census tract in Salt Lake City. Intuitively, for a census tract, A, this estimate is: (the number of women who have a workplace in A) plus (the number of women live in A) minus (the number of working women who live in A). >From the 5-year CTPP, we will use tables A20211, A101203, and A11600 for the three terms in the above calculation. We will only calculate the measure for women 16 years and older (although ideally we'd like to have a measure for just 40 years and up). Can anyone from this list provide me with feedback about this methodology? Are there any big issues that I need to be aware of? Is there a better way to be doing this? In the end, we would like a daytime measure of the female population in order to calculate mammography accessibility metrics. Many thanks for your comments.

What defines a commuter?

by Chen, Ju-Yin (VDOT)

Hi! All, I got an interesting question from our management. They want to know if we can define a commuter by how many work trips this particular person make during certain period of time (a day, a week or a year). The simple definition I found online to describe a commuter is "a person who travels some distance to work on a regular basis." This brings up two basic questions: 1. How do we determine "some distance"? 2. How do we determine "regular basis"? I could not find a clear definition regarding commuter in Commuting in America III though we talked about commuter population throughout the report. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!
