A sample skilled, single worker households working residing in Washington, D.C., metropolitan area 1968 was estimate variables describe alternative included locational attributes, housing transportation level service work, spatial opportunities shopping trips, ownership socioeconomic characteristics household. Even with relatively small used, wide range behavioral effects were measured. It concluded models such described here could replace existing systems forecast residential patterns. increase content permit would allow credible work-trip forecasts be made part land use forecasting. /Author/
