Work-from-home rate: definition and scope
Workers age 16 and older who usually worked from home as a share of all workers age 16 and older. The headline is the latest value approved within this website’s frozen release. It is not a promise that no newer upstream product exists. The accessible table retains more precision than the rounded headline.
Limitations and comparability
The survey describes the usual journey to work. It is not a complete measure of hybrid work or all travel.
The estimate describes the full 2020–2024 ACS period. Compare it with the same five-year product and universe. One-year ACS, model-based products and administrative counts cannot be joined into an unlabeled series.
Source count margins of error are retained in the raw download, but a margin of error for this calculated percentage is not supplied. We do not infer significance from point estimates, claim statistically settled ranks, or silently convert missing cells to zero. Cross-area associations do not establish individual circumstances or explain what caused a difference.
