Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary
This dataset contains measures of primary and secondary roads (highways and main arteries) per United States census tract in 2010. These measures may be used as a proxy for heavy traffic, high traffic speeds, and impediments to walking or biking. Variables include: counts of primary, secondary, and all streets per tract; total length of primary, secondary, and all streets per tract; ratio of primary and/or secondary road counts to all roads; and ratio of length of primary/secondary roads to all streets.

A curated version of this data is available through ICPSR at https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR38585.v2
