Hi Everyone,
On January 26th, the Census Bureau published new 2004 American
Community Survey (ACS) means of transportation tables, by workplace
geography.
Means tables by workplace geography are only currently available for
the 2004 ACS, and only for geographic summary levels with 250k+ in
population. Additionally, group quarters information is excluded. Data
for 2005 and beyond (appropriations-dependent) will be published for
areas with 65k+ population (including PUMAs) on a yearly basis. Areas
between 20-65k will be released with 3-year-averaged data, and areas
<20k population (including census tracts and block groups) with
5-year-averaged data. ACS group quarters data collection for the U.S.
and Puerto Rico began in January 2006.
New tables for 2004 can be accessed from the ACS page on the Bureau's
American Factfinder website:
