Abstract
Patterns of travel to medical care facilities are investigated to determine the extent to which a sample of urban residents used the facilities nearest their homes, and to explore some social and location variables associated with their deviation from minimal travel. Distance and direction of travel to various medical facilities by selected residents in the Cleveland metropolitan area are analyzed by education, income, color, sector of residence, and variables pertaining to the basis of choice of facility.
