“Col %” indicates column percentages. “Pass” denotes “passenger in a vehicle.” Unlike “passenger in a vehicle,” “carpooling” implies a pre-existent transportation agreement. Percentages in the five rightmost columns indicate the percent of immigrants within a group that uses the mode of transportation. Percentages in bold indicate statistical difference at p < .05. Percentages in bold and underlined indicate statistical difference at p < .01. For instance, 36.2% of the males rode a bicycle, a percentage statistically higher than the 13.1% of females who rode a bicycle. Statistical significance in Table 1 was assessed by applying a Chi square test… “Household Monthly Income” indicates response to “last month, which was the total amount of money you and your family lived on?”
