This page looks at over- or under-representation of people of color and low-income commuters among those who walk to work or take transit to work. Unless otherwise noted, the figures on this page were updated in 2021. Walking, biking, and taking transit all provide options to get to work that tend to be cheaper than using a personal car or truck, for this reason people with lower incomes tend to be over-represented among walking, biking, and transit commuters.
The Benchmarking Report has not typically reported demographics on bicycling to work because demographic data on who rides a bicycle to work is not available in tabular data at the city level. The Census Bureau produced some national demographics data about who bikes to work in 2014.
