Travel: home to work journeys (INSEE Statistics)

[Christophe]

Here are precise statistics (thank you Indy on this subject https://www.econologie.com/forums/un-essai-d ... 10964.html) on dodo work trips:

Summary

In 2004, almost three out of four employees left their municipality of residence to go to work. The active workers who reside in the peri-urban areas, less provided with jobs than the urban centers, are the most mobile: they rarely work in their commune of residence and make longer journeys, both in road distance and in travel time. Employees living in the Parisian urban area are distinguished from those who reside in large provincial urban areas by relatively long journey times, despite shorter distances traveled. Managers cover distances much greater than other categories of employees.

Let’s add that

Half of employees work less than 8 kilometers from home

And we see that the majority of people could go to work by assisted bike (not to get sweaty), at least outside the rainy periods (not to get wet).

Yes this is the glass half full !!

On the half-empty glass, one thing intrigued me is the ascent of workers very far from their home (more than 80km / min):

one thing intrigued me is the rise of workers very far from their home (more than 80km / min)

It is an effect of the "slicing" of distance.

There are probably no more between 80 and 85 than between 75 and 80, but the last point accumulates all the distances greater than 80 km.

8% of people, it's not huge but, actually, I know ...

[Gaston]

8% of people, it's not huge but, actually, I know ...

There is even thereof !

[Christophe]

Not huge, not huge it quickly says ...it's almost 1 in 10 workers all the same !!

And it's like road safety, we should speak in user.km and not only in user ...

8% who make an average of 100 km = 800 "% .km" that's more km traveled than 25% who do 20km = 500 "% .km"

Taxation with deduction of actual costs does not disadvantage this kind of practice ...

As Gaston says, there are some who take the train. It's not ideal, but hey ...

That is true

[Gaston]

It would give approximately

I expected no less from our dear Gaston Bravo it was fast

That's why we say to be wary of statistics!

But you applied which formula because for 5 to 10 km I would have done 25% * 7.5 = 187.5% .km
