Abstract

This study is motivated by insufficiencies in two areas in the literature. First, some technical barriers have hindered investigations of changing job-housing patterns over time. Second, traditional dichotomous studies (black-white) of ethnically divided commuting patterns are insufficient to paint the big picture of such dynamics in a multiethnicity metropolitan area. This research fills the gap by presenting an approach to the spatio-temporal analysis of commuting patterns by ethnicity. A case study is performed to track changing commuting patterns for whites, blacks, and Latinos in Atlanta over the last two decades. The results shed light on our understanding of the changing job-housing dynamics, particularly that of Latinos.
