I'm surprised at you Alan.  I'd certainly never bet against Michigan.

 It looks like Michigan is still the number one state in the union in terms
of share of commuters driving alone to work. Data released this morning
(6/3/02) shows that the Michigan drive alone share is 83.2 percent
(compares
to 81.5 percent in 1990.) Today's data release also shows Ohio with a very
high drive alone share, at 82.8 percent (comparing to 80.3 percent in
1990).
I don't think any states have drive alone shares higher than Michigan or
Ohio, but we're still missing data for five states (Arkansas, Colorado,
Utah, Idaho, Wyoming). That data will be out about 1:00 PM Eastern time on
Tuesday, along with US totals.

 Very good article on increasing commute times in this past Friday's Christian
Science Monitor:

 Alan Pisarski, Tim Lomax and the usual suspects are interviewed. Interesting to
note that the Monitor didn't fall into the trap of reporting
on anecdotal commutes. I'll be interested in how the Wall Street Journal
and
the Monitor and other national papers handle this information once the
balance of data is released Tuesday....
...

 Alan: what's this about a 12 percent drop in Virginia carpooling?

 FTP site for the Demographic Profile datasets:

 (I'll be looking at the "All States" sub-directory to have all national,
state, metro area and place-level data perhaps by Tuesday?)
