This entry includes the data behind the Urban Institute's Unequal Commute feature which was published on October 6, 2020. For more information on how the data included here is calculated, please reference our technical appendix. Below are descriptions of all available files:

  • job_access_gap.geojson: A geojson file that includes metrics on access to jobs at the block group level and geospatial data on blockgroup boundaries that is used to create the feature maps.
  • job_access_gap.csv: A csv file that includes the same fields as the geojson file above.
  • job_access_dict.csv: Data dictionary for job_access_gap.geojson and job_access_gap.csv.
  • job_access_gap_equity.csv: A csv file that includes racial and ethnic composition of block groups with the highest 10% of spatial mismatch in each CBSA and overall racial and ethnic composition in each CBSA. This file is used to create the feature bar plot.
  • job_access_gap_equity_dict.csv: Data dictionary for job_access_gap_equity.csv.
