Commuting in Hampton Roads

Hampton Roads is a region that is connected through a shared culture, history, geography, and sense of place. Residents and visitors alike routinely traverse across the region to enjoy all that Hampton Roads has to offer. Much of our shared experience is rooted in our interdependence, as our communities have long worked together and have grown together. Understanding where and how Hampton Roads workers commute to work is a crucial aspect of planning for the region.

The Commuting in Hampton Roads website provides interactive visualizations of commuting data to support planners, researchers, and policymakers who are working in transportation planning, economic/workforce development, and land use planning by offering valuable insights into the daily movement of workers throughout Hampton Roads.

The Commuting Flows page has maps and charts of the locality-to-locality commuting flows. These are based on data from a special American Community Survey (ACS) product by the US Census Bureau. These data describe incoming and outgoing commuting for a locality and the number of workers that commute within the locality where they reside. The remaining four pages each highlight additional data describing aspects of commuting from the standard ACS product.
