Here’s where D.C. public transit can take you — and who gets left behind

Posted on

“Using U.S. Census data, we compared the percentage of households in the region that commute to work by public transit with the percentage of households with an annual income of less than $35,000 per year. Census tracts where 20 percent or more of the population take transit to work appear in a teal shade, while Census tracts where more than 20 percent of households earn less than $35,000 a year appear in a purple color.

Census tracts where transit-using and lower-income households each represent more than 40 percent of households appear in dark purple and tend to be concentrated in the far Northeast and Southeast parts of the District.”
