Commuting in America 2021: The National Report on Commuting Patterns and Trends—Brief 21.3. The Evolution of Households

This brief explores the evolution of households as it relates to commuting. The household has been the basic unit of analysis in trip generation and travel demand estimation since the beginning of regional modeling. This brief provides a summary of how the composition and characteristics of households have changed over time, and how those changes have contributed to changes in travel demand. This analysis focuses on the time period since 1995, when the growth in travel rates started to slow. Since the turn of the millennium, travel rates in the U.S. have declined. Increases in road traffic are being fueled by population growth, but not by greater amounts of travel per person.
