Commuting Patterns - American Community Survey (ACS) 2006 - 2010
These statewide and county commuting patterns fact sheets are based on Journey to Work, a compilation of data from the U.S. Census Bureau describing the flow of workers traveling from home to work.
Counties
A closer look at the County-to-County Commuting Flows (New Hampshire Economic Condtions, May 2013)
Please note (effective September 2015): The U.S Office of Management and Budget (OMB) updated statistical area delineations using total population estimates from the 2010 U.S. Decennial Census supplemented with commuting pattern data from the American Community Survey. This updated delineation of areas replaces those established based on the 2000 Decennial Census, which have been in use since 2003.
These labor market area commuting patterns fact sheets were prepared using the updated statistical area delineations.
