I agree with Steve that LODES does not provide the distance. Find the linked document for
LODES. https://lehd.ces.census.gov/data/lodes/LODES7/LODESTechDoc7.2.pdf
For my previous analysis, I used the centroid of census block group (you can go down to
block level) OD and estimated (transit and driving) travel time using google api.

I wonder if people are referring to the buffer tool available with the LEHD "On The
Map" tool. That is distance, but it is not travel distance.

Hello,
Both Kevin Tierney and Alex Karner are quite right about there not being a
"distance" table in the ACS/CTPP files.
But now this brings up an interesting secondary question: exactly how is this being
calculated in the LEHD product? Unless everyone who commutes to work drives their own car
in a mostly uncongested and non-tolled environment, this is actually a lot more
complicated to "get right" than one might think, even if a road network-based
find-the-minimum-path approach is used. I presume there is documentation about how the
distance-based calculations are being done (surely it is something more than a
straight-line between two centroids, multiplied by a national factor to represent circuity
for auto travelers, but that would be my guess), but a quick search of LEHD and LODE
documents did not reveal the answer.

No. Some users noted a desire for it in the recent CTPP Assessment, but others indicated
they get that information from their travel models.

ACS has commute time but not distance. With CTPP you can use OD flows to calculate
distance using network approaches or assuming straight lines. No way to get distance
directly as far as I know.

Hello,
Is there a table in ACS or CTPP that gives the distance traveled to work? I know it's
in LEHD but I'd like to pin down another source.
