FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - New U.S. Census Bureau figures show that central Indiana's Hamilton County has one of the nation's highest rates of residents who travel to another county for work.
The Census Bureau data show that four of nine workers in Hamilton County, or nearly half, travel south to adjacent Marion County for their jobs. That ranks Hamilton County sixth among the nation's counties that serve as bedroom communities.
The Journal Gazette reports the numbers come from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey of 2006-10 estimates released this week.
Those numbers also show that Marion County, which is the home of Indianapolis, has one of the nation's highest numbers of commuters coming in from another county. The data show more than 205,000 people who work in Marion live outside the county.
