Abstract
This report discusses an empirical test of some basic hypotheses on home and workplace separation that have served in lieu of a general theory and have been the basis for many planning assumptions, goals, and objectives. These basic hypotheses were tested in four urban regions, two of which used longitudinal data from transportation surveys. Research outcomes point to a declining importance of distance to work and central city commuting and an increasing emphasis on family income as a predictor of residential location.Keywords
