"The data, which comes from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, shows that about 21% of San Franciscans reported working from home in 2024, continuing a decline since remote work peaked at a whopping 45% in 2021. Meanwhile, public transit usage has seen the inverse trend: last year, 25% of people reported commuting by transit, up from the 2021 low of just 11%."
"Although it's down sharply, working from home remains well above the 2019 rate, which was just 7%. Driving to work, meanwhile, has remained fairly steady over the same period: in 2019, about 35% of people in San Francisco drove either alone or by carpool to work. After a slight dip to 32% in 2021, that number came back up to 35%, and has hovered around that ever since,"
Data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey indicates that about 21% of San Franciscans reported working from home in 2024, down from a 2021 peak of 45%. Public transit commuting rose to 25% in 2024, recovering from a 2021 low of 11% and surpassing remote work for the first time since the pandemic. Pre-pandemic transit use was about 36%, higher than current levels. Driving rates have remained roughly steady around 35% since 2019, dipping to 32% in 2021 before returning to 35%. The decline in remote work aligns with increased workplace return-to-office mandates.
