What journey-to-work data is available from the 1960 Census?
Not very much. MTC has estimates of 1960 county-to-county, intra-regional total commuters in the Bay Area. We don’t have information on county-to-county by means of transportation, or data at finer levels of geographies such as places or superdistricts. We don’t have information on inter-regional commuting. The first data we have on inter-regional and place-level commuting is from the 1980 Census. Means of transportation to work included in the 1960 Census include: persons in autos or carpools, bus or streetcar, subway or elevated, railroad, taxicab, walk only, worked at home, and other means. The data on means of transportation is only available by county-of-residence and place-of-residence, manually copied from hard copy 1960 Census books.
