Understanding Shifts in Commuting Behavior and Mobility Networks in American Cities

This project, funded in part by the Land Economics Foundation (LEF), analyzes the shift in commute patterns from 2019 to 2022 and the effects on work-related activity in employment centers ( ECsECs ECs ECsECsECs ) in cities across the US as a measure of local and regional economic resilience. Analyzing mobility data for 220,000 census block groups from before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, we approach the resilience of ECsECs as a function of their urban and commercial characteristics and the attributes of the occupations and workers that comprise their employment activities. Using network analysis and machine learning models, we test several hypotheses with respect to the change in commuting to, and activity in, ECs during and after the pandemic period. We further examine the impact of shifting mobility patterns on the spatial structure of cities.  ECs during and after the pandemic period.
