What it answers

How do workers flow between places I choose to compare?

For: Planners, researchers and anyone studying commutes around a transit stop, job center or catchment area.

What is inside

  • A region-wide flow map that breaks into detail as you zoom in.
  • Place 2 to 10 points anywhere on the map and see commute flows between them, with a table of wages and industries for each origin and destination pair.
  • A year slider from 2002 to 2023, covering eight Wasatch Front counties.
  • Queries run in your browser, so there is no server or account.

Where the data comes from

  • US Census Bureau LEHD origin-destination employment statistics (LODES 8), filtered to the Wasatch Front counties.
  • County boundaries from Census TIGER/Line files.
