City of Houston Population Estimates by Means of Transportation
The American Community Survey (ACS) 1 Year and 5‑Year estimates for Houston, TX provides a detailed breakdown of the city’s working age population by means of transportation. The ACS 5 Year estimates are based on surveys collected over a five year period, which produces more reliable statistics for smaller towns and neighborhoods due to a larger sample size. Use 5 Year Estimates for: Small geographic areas (tracts, block groups, neighborhoods), trend analysis when annual data is unavailable, and/or planning and policy decisions requiring higher reliability. Use 1 Year Estimates for: Large geographic areas (populations of 65,000 or more), more current data for cities, counties, and states, and/or trend analysis of annual data.
