Notes:               Mean commuting time is calculated by dividing the aggregate travel
                     time to work for all workers (in minutes) by the total number of
                     workers, 16-years old and older, who commute (ACS 5-year variables
                     B08013_001E from table B08013 and B08012_001E from table B08012,
                     respectively).
                     
                     Multiyear estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) are
                     "period" estimates derived from a data sample collected over a period
                     of time, as opposed to "point-in-time" estimates such as those from
                     past decennial censuses. ACS 5-year estimate includes data collected
                     over a 60-month period. The date of the data is the end of the 5-year
                     period. For example, a value dated 2014 represents data from 2010 to
                     2014. However, they do not describe any specific day, month, or year
                     within that time period.
                     
                     Multiyear estimates require some considerations that single-year
                     estimates do not. For example, multiyear estimates released in
                     consecutive years consist mostly of overlapping years and shared data.
                     The 2010–2014 ACS 5-year estimates share sample data from 2011
                     through 2014 with the 2011–2015 ACS 5-year estimates. Because of
                     this overlap, users should use extreme caution in making comparisons
                     with consecutive years of multiyear estimates.
