Report Number P23-122

This report provides data on principal means of transportation to work based on residence inside and outside metropolitan areas (SMSA's) and central cities. For these subjects and areas, tables show commuting time and distance as well as race, Spanish origin, and region. Tables also show commuting time and distance by family income at 10 levels. These income tables feature race, Spanish origin, metropolitan residence, and principal means of transportation to work.

A Note on Language

Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
