Travel to work is different in nature. It happens in rush hours. People tolerate longer distances for going to work.
To have an inclusive vision, all forms of daily trips have to be considered.

a. Violin plots show the distributions by gender of the number of locations accounting for 80% of a user’s activity.
b. the users’ Shannon mobility entropy.
c. Women visit fewer locations and their movements are characterized by a smaller entropy. Panel c shows the distributions of the mean probability of visiting the 5 most frequented locations of each user, by gender.

Data:
Method:
a. People from different census block groups visit a given place. Using the median income of each census block group, we calculate the distribution of time spent by the four income groups (quartiles) in that place. Income segregation of the place measures the unevenness of this distribution.
b. For a given individual, we calculate the distribution of time that individual encounters people of different income groups in each place and in total.
c. Map of the places in downtown Boston color-coded according to their income segregation.
Average place segregation by category as a function of the average distance traveled by individuals to reach that place from their home. Colors correspond to different groups of place categories and the size is proportional to the number of places in each category. As we can see the average income segregation depends both on the type of place and distance traveled.
