JTW by County for a 14-County Region (13 Kb Excel File)The American Community Survey (ACS) is a fairly recent product from the US Census Bureau that is replacing the Decennial Census long form. Data tables (Summary File 3), including the Journey-to-Work (JTW) data, that were prepared from the responses to detailed questions included on the Decennial Census long form are no longer available as part of the 2010 Census since every household received only a short form. With the elimination of the long form, detailed characteristics of the population are derived from the results of the data collected through the annual American Community Survey, which is sent to 250,000 households nationwide on a monthly basis. The most accurate publication of the ACS data is the five-year ACS, which is based on a five-year moving average of the data.
The initial release of the five-year, 2006-2010, ACS-based JTW data is now available. The two Excel files linked below represent the JTW data for the four-county Region and its surrounding 10 counties.
