What this data can and can’t tell you

- Two counts of out-of-state work. The Census survey asks workers where they work: 0% of Spring Brook Township workers work outside Minnesota. The job records count 16% at employers in other states. The records use the address the employer reports and skip the self-employed, so the two can differ.
- Straight lines, older transit. Miles are as the crow flies. EPA’s walkability and transit files use 2017–20 inputs.
