Every working resident’s trip, home to work, as the crow flies. Roads add to it, so real drives run longer.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Two sources, two years. Trips, distances and jobs based here: Census LEHD 2023, primary jobs, where the employer reports them. Income, poverty, unemployment, commute time and how people travel: Census ACS 2020–24 averages.
  • Two counts of out-of-state work. The Census survey asks workers where they work: 0% of Lushton workers work outside Nebraska. The job records count 17% 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.
