30 May 2020 | | Abstract: | Residential segregation recently has shifted to more class or income-based in
the United States, and neighborhoods are undergoing significant changes such as
commuting patterns over time. To better understand the commuting inequality
across neighborhoods of different income levels, this research analyzes
commuting variability (in both distance and time) across wage groups as well as
stability over time using the CTPP data 1990-2010 in Baton Rouge. In comparison
to previous work, commuting distance is estimated more accurately by Monte
Carlo simulation of individual trips to mitigate aggregation error and scale
effect. The results based on neighborhoods mean wage rate indicate that
commuting behaviors vary across areas of different wage rates and such
variability is captured by a convex shape. Affluent neighborhoods tended to
commute more but highest-wage neighborhoods retreated for less commuting. This
trend remains relatively stable over time despite an overall transportation
improvement in general. A complementary analysis based on the distribution of
wage groups is conducted to gain more detailed insights and uncovers the
lasting poor mobility (e.g., fewer location and transport options) of the
lowest-wage workers in 1990-2010. | | Source: | arXiv, 2006.3498 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
