Hello CTPPers:

The detailed 2007 American Community Survey data for journey-to-work
and household characteristics was released by the Census Bureau on
September 23, 2008. We completed our first report on the ACS 2007 for
our region, on October 2nd. The 30 page report is here:

http://www.mtc.ca.gov/maps_and_data/datamart/census/

The most interesting finding is a statistically significant (95% CL)
increase in transit commuting, 2006 to 2007, from 315,000 to 336,000.
The increase in our regional share of transit commuters (9.5 to 10.0
percent), was not a statistically significant increase (95% CL) (though
it was significant at a 90% CL).

Commute times are stable, at about 27 minutes per one-way commute.

Intra-county commute shares (% living and working in same county) has
remained stable between 2000 and 2007, at about 72 percent intra-county
commute.

We also produce tables on housing affordability, poverty, race, and
household vehicle availability, since those are topics of interest to us
and our policy board.

Chuck Purvis, MTC
