Eau Claire: Means of Transportation
to Work for Workers 16+

It was difficult to map the amount of people who walk to work, but what was found was that the majority of walkers are in the third ward area suggesting that they are either students, professors, or environmentalists.

In the first map we have the amount of people who carpool to work.  In the higher value areas we can see that people in the Westside, North River Fronts, Third Ward and Putnam heights have the highest numbers of people that carpool to work from about 140 people to 187 people carpooling in these areas. 

In the second map we see the amount of people who use public transportation to get to work.  The highest value areas show that the Central Business District, Third Ward and areas surrounding the University contain the highest numbers of people who use public transportation to work.  This suggests that University students and people lacking monetary means are taking advantage of Eau Claire's public transportation system the most.  It also suggests that there are high numbers of environmentalists and Professors who are doing the same.  There are also higher numbers in the portion of Putnam Heights closer to the Chippewa River as well as the Westside.

In the map next to the previous we see similar tendencies among people who bike to work suggesting that similar people as listed above are opting to bike rather than drive to work.  The largest difference between these two maps is that the amount of people who use public transportation is higher than those who bike.  Less people bike in the further distanced areas such as Putnam Heights and the Westside.

The fourth map displayed shows the number of people who work at home and do not commute or transport to work at all.  A majority of these people are found in the Third Ward, Putnam Heights and Ex-Urban areas above Dell's Pond and below Putnam Heights. 

In our last map we see that the largest amounts of people who drive alone to work are in the Third Ward, Putnam Heights, above Dell's Pond, and in the Ex-Urban areas around Eau Claire.
