1 Mar 2013

Census Bureau wil be releasing data and reports on commuting patterns next week.
If you have Census PIO embargo access, you'll be able to dig into it as early as
Monday afternoon.

This is a new product -- so I'm not sure how the data will be structured -- anyone
know?

Enjoy.

***CENSUS BUREAU MEDIA ADVISORY***
Commuting Products to be Embargoed

The U.S. Census Bureau’s Public Information Office will offer an embargo period next week
for members of the media to view a series of commuting products. Statistics will be
available for every county in the U.S. showing the number of workers that commute in or
out and which counties those commuters travel to and from. Additional reports and tables,
based on statistics from the American Community Survey, examine U.S. residents traveling
across county and state lines to work. Specifically, the products present U.S. workers who
have commutes of 60 minutes or longer and workers who have “mega commutes” of at least 90
minutes and 50 miles. Statistics will also be available for every county in the U.S. that
show the number of workers that commute into or out of the county and which counties those
commuters travel to and from.

The reports and tables will be posted to the Census Bureau’s embargo site at noon EST
Monday, March 4. The public release will be at 12:01 a.m. EST Tuesday, March 5. Wire and
distribution services are prohibited from distributing embargoed news releases and data
files to subscribers before the public release date and time.

If you are interested in scheduling a radio interview on Tuesday, March 5, please contact
the U.S. Census Bureau Public Information Office at 301-763-3030.
