Data notes & caveats

The ranking uses absolute counts rather than rates. Values count workers age 16 or older whose usual means of getting to work is working from home. ACS estimates are subject to sampling error; margins of error are not included here.

Methodology

The ranking uses the 2024 ACS 1-year estimate for count of people working from home across U.S. states and DC. Values are ordered from highest to lowest, with equal values retaining tied ranks. National totals and other summary geographies are excluded. Compact labels are rounded for readability without changing the source order.

Source consistency notes

All entries use the same Census source family, ACS 1-year product, 2024 period and measurement unit (people), supporting a like-for-like ranking across the stated geographies.
