Abstract:

This report identified the changes which have occurred from 1960 to 1990 in population and demographics, worker characteristics, means of travel to work, household vehicle availability, and geographic revisions in the United States and its large metropolitan areas. The report is based on the U.S. Bureau of the Census data from decennial data sets. Selected Census Information for 1960. 1970, 1980 and 1990 was summarized from available Census data sets, and to a more limited extent from Census publications. Due to the thirty-year time span, two levels of geography are used to present and analyze these data. In producing this report, evaluations were made of differences in selected data items over the Involved time-period. The report summarizes these evaluations and presents the resultants data in a series of tables, figures, metropolitan statistical profiles and maps. Chapter 1 of the report contains background information, technical details about the data and geographic conventions that were used In the analysis. Chapter 2 presents national summary information for journey-to-work trends over the thirty-year period. Chapter 3 looks at demographic characteristics in large metropolitan areas. Chapter 4 considers the characteristics of the work trip, worker residences and places of work, commuter flows and travel times within large metropolitan areas. Chapter 5 examines the means of transportation used by metropolitan area workers. Chapter 6 looks at trends in households, vehicle ownership and availability. Chapter 7 identifies how these data are affected by the latest geographic revision, showing what has occurred since 1990. The Profiles provide detailed statistical information, and maps for the U.S. as a whole, and for each of the 39 metropolitan areas that formed the core of this study.
