Black-White Car Transportation Rate Gap

• The Black–White car transportation rate gap in Tampa Bay has gradually narrowed from its peak of 72% in 2013 to 51.3% in 2024. Although improving, Tampa Bay still ranks among the higher-gap MSAs, indicating substantial racial differences in car dependency and access to private vehicles.
• Minneapolis, Portland, Denver, Phoenix, and San Antonio consistently show the largest gaps, with values often between 60%–83% across the decade. These MSAs demonstrate the widest racial disparities in access to car transportation.
• In contrast, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Raleigh–Durham, Dallas, and Orlando record the
  smallest gaps, many falling below 15–35% in recent years, making them the top-performing MSAs with comparatively more equitable access to car use between Black and White workers.

^{The Black–White Car Transportation Rate Gap measures the percentage-point difference in the share of Black and White workers who commute by car — whether driving alone or carpooling. This indicator reflects disparities in access to private vehicles, mobility resources, and transportation independence across racial groups.
