LIMITS ON ACCESS IN LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE TRAVEL PATTERNS OF LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS

Abstract

In many poor urban areas, retail and service establishments are not abundant and those retail centers that exist often offer lower quality products at higher prices. To compound the problem, poor households lack the personal resources that might compensate for inadequate local access. They often do not have the option of traveling to stores or other destinations beyond their neighborhood, and they can't move to neighborhoods with better local access. Despite the constraint of inferior access and limited resources, the poor must nevertheless find ways to take care of their household needs as best they can. This study takes a look at levels of accessibility to basic services in low income neighborhoods and explores the implications of limited accessibility to basic services in low income neighborhoods and explores the implications of limited accessibility and household constraints on non-work travel for low income households in Austin, TX.
