    Is income quintile using the same cutoff on botj graphs or computed for the two populations seperately? Shocked there’s almost no difference in transportation costs in the no vehicle group. Is there more geographic variance?

    (I’m certain public transit is cheaper than car ownership, just that part of the data looks odd, might be a visualization issue)

      The income cutoff is the same, but the size of each quintile is radically different in the no car section. Only 3% of the top 2 quintiles don’t own a car, while it’s 11-17% in the other 3 quintiles. The data for the top two quintiles is basically irrelevant.
