Commute Map will let you type in any zip code in the United States and then show you the primary areas where workers who live there commute to work.
I think it’s very interesting and creative, though I don’t think I’d incorporate it into my lesson on neighborhoods (see A Lesson Highlighting Community Assets — Not Deficits).
Any ideas on how this could be used in the classroom?
Just a note- this page does not work with Explorer.
Larry – Interesting. I did not see any reference to where they get their data, though. Would be nice to know.
Jeff,
Here’s the info:
