What this measures
Every row is a published g09 transit commute share pct observation measured in %, ranked highest first. The values were observed in 2026. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.
- Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
- A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
