This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How people in the United States travel to work is affected by demographic and worker characteristics, the availability of alternative modes of commuting, perceived travel time and the supply and location of jobs. This report explores commuting behavior on both a national and a metropolitan area basis from data drawn from the U.S. Decennial Census. Topics covered in the report include: population characteristics, characteristics of workers, mode choice for the commute trip and vehicle ownership and availability, and the effect on the data of geographic revisions. The thirty year trends from 1960-1990 are observed, as well as the more recent trends over the ten years from 1980-1990. Two levels of analysis are presented. First, national level trends are looked at, followed by an analysis of trends in large metropolitan areas. This report tracks trends in demographics, worker characteristics and journey-to-work commute in the United States and its large Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). The report is based on data from the decennial census published by the U.S. Census Bureau. Chapters 1 and 2 look at the national trends in terms of population and workforce growth, the change in household structure, and outline some regional and state trends. Chapter 3 examines the demographics of the changes in relation to travel, focusing on the trends within the 49 metropolitan areas (not including San Juan, Puerto Rico) that have over 1,000,000 people in residence as reported in the 2000 Census. Chapter 4 examines the changes in place of work, residence location, and travel time. Chapter 5 looks at means of transportation and Chapter 6 looks at vehicle availability. The profile section includes a map of each of the 49 MSAs followed by a detailed profile sheet.

Book excerpt: "According to the 1990 US census, Americans are traveling farther than ever to get to work. The commuting trend affects businesses in several ways. Cross-county commuting is common in the 35 major metropolitan areas that have more than 1 million residents. Increasingly complex patterns of employment have increased commuter traffic in both directions. The number of workers rose in every metropolitan area except Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where it declined by less than 1%, even though 5 of the 35 major metropolitan areas lost population in the 1980s. The biggest reason is the growing proportion of women in the labor force. The 35 major metropolitan areas contain 48 central cities that have at least 250,000 residents or 100,000 jobs. Unlike the metropolitan areas to which they belong, many of these cities have suffered declines in both population and employment since 1960. Although job growth has been rapid in US suburbs, these will continue to depend on central cities for jobs well into the 21st century"--[from ProQuest abstract information (http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=10&did=124007&SrchMode=3&sid=1&Fmt=2&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1122558137&clientId=8726&aid=1).

Download or read book Regional and Metropolitan Growth and Decline in the US written by William H. Frey and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1988-10-18 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1970s, several striking population shifts attracted widespread attention and colorful journalistic labels. Urban gentrification, the rural renaissance, the rise of the Sunbelt—these phenomena signaled major reversals in long-term patterns of population distribution. In Regional and Metropolitan Growth and Decline in the United States, authors Frey and Speare place such reversals in context by examining a rich array of census data. This comprehensive study describes new population distribution patterns, explores their consequences, and evaluates competing explanations of current trends. The authors also provide an in-depth look at the changing race, status, and household demographics of the nation's largest cities and discuss the broad societal forces precipitating such changes. Frey and Speare conclude that the 1970s represented a "transition decade" in the history of population distribution and that patterns now emerging do not suggest a return to the past. With impressive scope and detail, this volume offers an unmatched picture of regional growth and decline across the United States. A Volume in the Russell Sage Foundation Census Series.
