City/Place Daytime Population; ACS 2009
The most current data on city, county, state daytime population is located at http://proximityone.com/daytime_population.htm. This section provides an update on the Census 2000-based daytime population by city/place (see Census 2000 daytime population by city) using data based on the 2009 American Community Survey. See related state and county daytime population data and ranking table at http://proximityone.com/stcty_daytime_population09.htm. The concept of the daytime population refers to the number of people who are present in an area during normal business hours, including workers. This is in contrast to the resident population present during the evening and nighttime hours. Information on the expansion or contraction experienced by different communities between nighttime and daytime populations is important for many planning purposes, including those dealing with market size, trade/service areas, transportation, disaster, and relief operations. Use the interactive ranking table below to examine characteristics of more than 25,000 cities/places and patterns of interest. Data are based on the 2009 ACS 5-year estimates (centric to mid-2007). These data will update with 2010 ACS 5-year estimates (centric to 2008) in December 2011. We develop custom estimates and projections of daytime population, for one or many areas, that incorporate results of Census 2010. Contact us for information about custom estimates and projections and/or subscribing to use the data shown in the table on your computer. Mention 'daytime population' in the text section. Employment-Residence (E-R) The far right column (see description of all columns below table) shows the Employment-Residence (E-R) ratio. The E-R Ratio is a measure of the total number of workers working in a place (WorkersWP), relative to the total number of workers living in the place (WorkersLP). The E-R Ratio is a rough indicator of the jobs-workers balance in a place, although it does not take into account whether the resident workers possess the skills needed for the jobs that are available. E-R Ratios greater than 1.00 occur when there are more workers working in the place than living there. These places can be considered as net importers of labor. More below about why some E-R values are -1. City-Place Daytime Population; ACS 2009 -- interactive ranking table See related Ranking Tables Main Page Click column header to sort; click again to sort other direction. Workers defined. People 16 years and over who were employed and at work during the reference week. The estimate of workers includes part-time and full-time civilian personnel and people in the Armed Forces. Daytime population universe. The daytime population estimates in the table adjusts only for work-related travel, i.e., incommuters to an area and outcommuters from an area. Data necessary to adjust for shopping, school, recreation, tourism, etc. are not available. Table Usage Notes • Click on a column header to sort on that column; click column header again to sort in other direction. • Click ShowAll button to show all areas and restore full set of data view. • Click State (dropdown below table) to view metros in a selected state (click ShowAll between selections). • Find by Name: key in partial area name in text box to right of Find-in-Name button then click button to locate all matches (case sensitive). • See related ranking tables. Columns: Daytime -- Estimated daytime population – this is the estimate arrived at by adjusting the total resident population by the number of incommuters and outcommuters to the place. It does not adjust for people entering or leaving the place for purposes other than commuting, nor does the commuting adjustment take the time of day of the work trips into account. The estimate is calculated by adding the total resident population (Population) and the total workers working in the place (WorkersWP), and then subtracting from that result the total workers living in the place (WorkersLP). This method yields the same result as would be obtained by adding the incommuters and subtracting the outcommuters from the total resident population. Population -- Total resident population – the total number of persons living in the place. Day/Resident -- 100 * (daytime population/resident population). WorkersWP -- Total workers working in the place – this is the number of workers who reported working in the place, regardless of their place of residence. In other words, it is the total that worked there no matter where they lived. Residence locations are not considered, only workplace locations are reflected in this number. WorkersLP -- Total workers living in the place – this is sometimes referred to as the number of resident workers. It is the number of people living in the place who are workers. It includes workers who live there regardless of where they worked, or in other words, no matter where their workplace was located. Place of work location is not considered, only residence location is reflected in this number. ER Ratio-- Employment-residence (E-R) ratio – this is a measure of the total number of workers working in a place (WorkersWP), relative to the total number of workers living in the place (WorkersLP). It is often used as a rough indication of the jobs-workers balance in a place, although it does not take into account whether the resident workers possess the skills needed for the jobs that are available. E-R ratios greater than 1.00 occur when there are more workers working in the place than living there. These places can be considered as net importers of labor. For example, an E-R ratio of 1.19 means that there are 19 percent more workers working in the place than living in the place. Values less than 1.00 indicate places that send more workers to other areas than they receive, i.e., they are net exporters of labor. An E-R value of -1 indicates the measure was not computed, normally because the WorkersLP value was zero. For the same reason, an E-R value of zero can be due to WorkersWP having a value of zero. Visual Analysis of Daytime Population Patterns The following graphic shows the Kansas City MSA (brown boundary) with county labels. E-R values associated with thematic pattern view of cities are shown at the left in the legend panel. The E-R ratio of 1.2 or higher (green fill pattern) means that there are 20 percent more workers working in the city than living in the city.
