01 / THE SHIFT
What changed in the published estimate?
These periods overlap: 2021 covers 2017–2021 and 2024 covers 2020–2024. Changes are directional comparisons, not independent annual measurements.

How residents usually get to work

The work-from-home share is lower than about 76% of covered countys in the 100k–500k population band.

Why the ± matters
ACS values are survey estimates. The margin of error is the 90% confidence interval published by the Census Bureau or calculated for a share from published component margins. Small differences can be sampling noise.
