Census Commuting Patterns

Census data have traditionally provided the most insightful and comprehensive view of commuting. First, the question is geared to solicit that information specifically (unlike the derivative we use from the annual tax data). Second, it allows us to view commuting across borders into specific communities of other states. However, beginning with Census 2010, commuting data will not be available out of the decennial census.
