The following table summarizes the average number of non-commuters, in-commuters, out-commuters, and net flow for Central Pennsylvania during 2023:
Commuting Patterns
| wdt_ID | County/Region | Non-Commuters | In-Commuters | Out-Commuters | Net Flow |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| County/Region | Non-Commuters | In-Commuters | Out-Commuters | Net Flow |
Note: Regional commuting patterns are based on the entire 9-county region, and regional non-commuters may live and work in any of the counties; therefore, the regional data does not equal the sum of the county-level data (except for net flow). Totals may not add due to rounding.
Net flow is calculated as in-commuters minus out-commuters; positive values indicate more workers are coming to the area for employment (highlighted in green), and negative values indicate more workers are leaving the area for employment (highlighted in red).
In 2023, Central Pennsylvania’s employed population was 288,500 and the labor force was 298,400. There were 201,600 non-commuters, or individuals that live and work within the 9-county region, who represented 69.9% of the employed population and 67.6% of the labor force.
