How to use the local evidence

Workers commuting by car, truck or van — Williams

2,236 of 2,331 in the relevant ACS survey universe (95.9%). Among 312 source-qualified place communities in California with at least 20,000 residents, the median share is 80.5%. The Williams estimate differs by 15.4 percentage points above that median. This is an unweighted comparison of community estimates, not the statewide population share or a statistically tested difference. Source: 2024 ACS five-year estimates for Williams city, California.

Compare a deductible you could fund with rental-transport limits and your actual commute; the survey does not measure crashes or driving miles.

Households with no vehicle available — Williams

66 of 1,576 in the relevant ACS survey universe (4.2%). Among 312 source-qualified place communities in California with at least 20,000 residents, the median share is 5.0%.

Household access can matter more to a provider’s eligibility questions than the population percentage.
