[CTPP] Census Bureau Releases Commuting and Housing Data for 13 Metro Areas

The Commerce Department's Census Bureau today released new housing and journey-to-work data for 13 metropolitan areas. The 2002 American Housing Survey, sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, includes statistics on such journey-to-work topics as mode of transportation, departure time for work, travel time and distance from home to work. Also included is information on housing topics: for example, presence of refrigerators, microwaves and air-conditioning; number of rooms; housing deficiencies. Note: This is not the CTPP data and according to the Census Bureau staff the 2002 AHS tables should be posted sometime next week. Complete information on the AHS including data from the previous years can be found at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/ahs.html The 10 of the 13 areas included in the 2002 survey that I could identify were Dallas, Buffalo, Anaheim-Santa Ana, San Diego, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Charlotte, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Kansas City, Milwaukee and Portland OR, ---------------- Ed Christopher Planning Activities Resource Center Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) 708-283-3501 (F)
