Notes About the Data
Average Commute Time data are drawn from responses to the "long-form"
version of the 2000 and 1990 censuses. The data are arithmetic means for workers
who do not work at home. Long-form information is based on responses from a
sample of households that were asked additional questions about their commuting,
education, occupation, income and housing. The data are subject to sampling
and nonsampling error. The types and directions of the errors, however, should
be similar for both the 1990 and the 2000 data.
