It’s settled. Work should begin on the Decatur to Emory monorail at once.

the maps are missing the city of Decatur borders. i am also curious where the data come from (e.g., 2010 census long form, survey).

Even at this scale these maps are easy to interpret: Government and Emory/CDC/VA.

I’m in the downtown Atl blotch, but not a city, county, or state employee.

Where are these data from? A survey (sample) or a census (attempt at complete count)?

They demonstrate both that 1) common commuting patterns could be addressed by mass transportation AND 2) a substantial number of commutes require a car.

This is interesting and makes sense to me. Decatur has great access to downtown and Emory but poor access to other major job centers like Perimeter Center, Cobb Galleria, Buckhead, etc.
