Abstract
In the urban community, household transportation costs are subject to a number of
factors. These factors change across urban regions, and as a result, the percentage of
household income spent on transportation can vary considerably. The measure of location
affordability has traditionally been determined by housing costs alone. However, it is
shown in this study that transportation costs have a considerable impact on the
affordability of living in a given neighbourhood.
In the United States, the Center for Neighbourhood Technology (CNT) has
developed the Housing and Transportation (H+T) Affordability Index, which defines
affordability as a household spending less than 45% its income on housing and
transportation costs. Based on this definition of affordability, it has been found that many
urban areas previously considered unaffordable are actually quite affordable as they are
walkable and have good transit service. Similarly, many suburban areas that are viewed
as affordable when looking at housing costs alone are actually quite unaffordable, as they
areas require the ownership of an automobile and its inherent costs. This work by CNT
supports policies where land use and transportation planning are coordinated to ensure
communities are walkable and support a variety of uses.
This study applies a modified H+T index to determine the affordability in Greater
Vancouver, using 2006 Canadian Census and 2011 Translink Trip Diary data. Walkable
communities located in central areas with good transit service were found to be
considerably more affordable than areas with heavy auto-reliance. The most significant
outcome of our study is that Greater Vancouver is significantly less affordable when
transportation costs are included. A considerable number of suburban communities that
have affordable housing (mostly from Surrey, Coquitlam, and Langley) are deemed
unaffordable based in the new index. In addition, the concepts of actual and experienced
affordability are examined, based on median regional income and median local income,
respectively. This analysis shows that many areas in the suburbs are unaffordable and
have people spending a disproportionate amount of their income on housing and
transportation. Future transportation and planning initiatives should be focused in these
areas in order to produce the greatest improvement in affordability.
iv
While the H+T affordability has not yet been adopted across Canada by policy
makers and the public alike, we expect the results of this study to: 1) enable residents of
the Greater Vancouver area to make wiser choices when looking for a place to live and 2)
aid policy makers in where transit improvements and social housing initiatives are
focused. Furthermore, understanding the relationship between housing and transportation
with respect to affordability will enable local municipalities to prioritize related projects
in specific neighbourhoods, providing more affordable living for their residents.

1.0 Introduction
Affordability is an increasingly important issue in Greater Vancouver. In 2013,
Vancouver was rated one of the least affordable cities in the world (Demographia, 2013).
Existing studies of affordability have focused exclusively on housing costs and have
significantly influenced policy, often encouraging development away from the core of a
city.
However, focusing on housing alone provides an incomplete picture of affordability.
There are other necessities that have a significant impact on the cost of living.
Transportation is, on average, the second largest household expenditure and including it
in the definition of affordability has been found to produce a much clearer picture of
which areas are affordable and which ones are not.
In the United States, the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) has
developed a Housing and Transportation (H+T) Affordability Index. It defines
affordability as spending less than 45% of household income on housing and
transportation costs. Many of the H+T indexs findings contradict the view of
affordability set out in conventional indices. For instance, urban neighbourhoods, where
residents have access to public transportation and are able to walk and cycle, experience
much lower transportation costs. Several neighbourhoods (such as the Upper East Side in
Manhattan) deemed unaffordable with previous methods have been found to be quite
affordable when transportation costs have been factored in. Similarly, locations in
suburban areas, though having lower housing prices, effectively require their residents to
own and drive a car. Many of these communities are therefore no longer deemed
affordable using the new index.
To date, there has been no similar study of location efficiency for Canadian cities.
Our project involves applying a modified H+T index to neighbourhoods in Greater
Vancouver. We also quantify the correlation between Walk Score, a measure of
walkability, and transportation costs. Below is an overview of the steps accomplished in
conducting this study:
Review the H+T Affordability Index developed by CNT and other associated
literature.
Examine the H+T index to determine if it is feasible with available Canadian data
(specifically, data from Greater Vancouver).
Apply the H+T index to census tracts in Greater Vancouver and compare the
results with housing affordability alone.
Since our study utilized Canadian census data, the H+T index and its associated
analyses can be replicated for any other region in Canada; a housing and transportation
affordability index can be created with the same data.

When considering the planning of regional transportation and land use strategies,
it is important to keep in mind the context and vision of the transportation corridor.
This vision will set the framework for decisions such as facility design, access
management, and local land use controls. In the past, transportation corridor planning has
focused on a particular roadway and related transportation facilities, but planning
committees are beginning to understand the importance of the link between transportation
and land use. In Lexington, Kentucky, the citys planners focused on coordinating
activities between the engineering and planning departments, resulting in a communitysupported corridor plan. This design included features such as narrower cross-sections,
bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, and extensive streetscaping and landscaping.
These objectives provide safety and mobility for vehicles and pedestrians, and have also
led to significant economic development benefits in certain business districts.
6
accessibility, alternative travel modes are considered rather than only vehicular travel, as
is the case in mobility-based analysis. Planning for transportation based on accessibility
is typically more cost effective and beneficial, as major consequences of mobility-based
analysis include high automobile costs, loss of time as drivers need to chauffeur nondriving family members, and the reduction in physical health associated with extensive
automobile reliance.
In the VTPIs suggestion for evaluating transportation affordability, they note the
fact that peoples transportation needs and abilities vary (Litman, pp 5). In order to
compensate for these differences, several factors should be considered when determining
transportation affordability. These include income and wealth, daily household
responsibilities (e.g. commuting to work), physical and mental abilities, ability to
understand and read the local language, and the ability to drive.
The report also delves into the relationship between land use and transportation
costs, noting that suburban and rural communities have increased transportation costs due
to less accessible land use patterns and more automobile-dependent transportation
networks. In addition, areas that have affordable housing and accessibility to multi-modal
travel generally resulted in increased affordability.
Transportation affordability becomes important when assessing a households
economic resilience, such as being able to respond effectively to unexpected financial
burdens, like an increase in fuel price or a vehicle failure. In areas where transportation
costs are high (likely meaning a resident of that area would be vehicle-dependent), an
event that prohibits vehicle travel would cause a much larger financial strain to local
commuters, due to limited travel alternatives.
3.0 Methodology
This section outlines all of the data sources used to complete the analysis,
including a background of the theories and models in which the information is based. The
methods of analysis and the expected results are also described.
The data sources we used to collect the required data are as follows:
Transportation trip data collection from Translinks 2011 Trip Diary Analysis
Report and from Statistics Canada 2006 Census Report.
Academic reports to find costs associated with corresponding trip mode types.
Walk Score data for corresponding neighbourhoods from the Walk Score website.

suburban home. However, being close to public transit will likely reduce transportation
costs and may offset the increase in housing costs.
CNTs approach to determining transportation costs for a given area is quite
different from the method used in our study. CNT uses indicating factors within a
neighbourhood to predict transportation costs, such as density, household income, access
to transit, etc. They use these factors as inputs to a model to generate the number of trips
by each mode and the associated cost. These resources were not available in order to
build a model for Greater Vancouver. Our study uses a method based on census data.
The H+T index consists of the average housing and transportation cost from
living in a given neighbourhood, normalized by the median household income.
Transportation costs include the costs of auto ownership, auto usage, and public
transportation usage. The formula for the H+T index is as follows:
+ =
CNT has determined that the threshold for H+T index affordability is 45% of total
income (CNT, 2012). By using this index and threshold, instead of using a traditional
housing cost threshold of 30% of total income, some areas previously labeled as
unaffordable may be viewed as more affordable and vice versa.
3.2.2
H+T
Methods
From the 2006 census data for Greater Vancouver, the costs of housing and
transportation for households in each census tract were calculated. The data lists the
number of drivers, passengers, and vehicles per household. Also, it reports the number of
people who use public transportation, walking, cycling, motorcycling, and taxi as their
primary mode of transportation. The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) data was
used to find the average annual cost for auto ownership. However, this cost varies with
the number of Vehicle Kilometers Traveled (VKT) each year. Therefore, Translinks Trip
Diary was used to determine the average VKT per year for each region of Vancouver and
came up with an average annual cost of owning and operating a vehicle. For average
public transportation costs, it was determined how likely people in each census tract were
9
to travel within 1, 2, or 3 zones and the corresponding Translink fares were applied. For
cycling and walking, the cost of transportation was assumed to be zero. As the mode
share for motorcycle and taxi were very low, they were deemed negligible and omitted.
To determine the total transportation cost (T) for each census tract, the transportation
modes and costs of all users within the given census tract were averaged.

# + (# )
# + # + # + # + # + #
Using housing and transportation costs for various areas of Greater Vancouver, it
was determined which areas were affordable using the H+T index, based on the definition
of affordability as spending less than 45% of household income on housing and
transportation. These results are presented graphically throughout this report.
The methods used to determine transportation costs provide an estimate of costs
for households in each census tract. However, due to time limitations, the methods used
do have a few simplifying assumptions which could be improved upon in further studies.
For instance, the difference in parking costs between urban and suburban environments
was not accounted for. If this discrepancy was accounted for, it would presumably
increase transportation costs in urban areas. Also, since we do not know actual VKT for
each vehicle, we had to use an average for a fairly large area. By knowing VKT per
vehicle with more accuracy, we would increase the precision and validity of our
calculated transportation costs.

100-point scale is used to rate walkability, based on typical walking routes to common
destinations (schools, parks, restaurants, retail and grocery stores, etc.). Maximum points
are awarded for amenities that are situated within 0.25 miles of a given location, whereas
no points are awarded for amenities that are further than 1 mile away. The Walk Score
rating can be applied to specific point locations, neighbourhoods, or entire cities. A
walkable neighbourhood requires the following:
A main centre
approximately every city block (defined by a predetermined grid system), and combined
with a weighted average based on population density. The steps for calculating a
population density weighted Walk Score are summarized below.
1. Expand each point by 0.00075 decimal degrees to create a grid cell
2. Intersect the grid cell with the census blocks it intersects; for each census block:
Calculate the percentage of the census block the grid cell intersects

It should be noted that Walk Score does not take into account street design, safety,
pedestrian friendly design and orientation of streets and buildings, topography, and
weather.
3.3.2
Comparing
Transportation
Cost
and
Walkability
Walkability has been shown to have an inverse relationship with transportation
costs. H+T data for individual census tracts in Greater Vancouver can be correlated with
Walk Scores for given neighbourhoods. The transportation cost is reported as a
percentage of household income, based on the median income for residents in each area
of Greater Vancouver. The transportation variable includes the costs and savings
associated with owning a vehicle, as described above.
We use a simple linear regression model to relate Walk Score (independent
variable) to transportation costs (dependent variable). This model can predict or forecast
the values of the dependent variable based on its relation of several given values of the
independent variable. However, a correlation can only be verified the direction of the
causal relationship cannot be confirmed. The regression model is defined below.
y = 0 + 1x +
12
Where:
x = independent variable (Walk Score)
y = dependent variable (transportation cost)
0 = mean value of y when x is zero
1 = change in mean value of y for a 1-unit increase in x
= error term
The objective of simple linear regression is to minimize the sum of squared errors,
thereby evaluating the equation where the expected value of is zero. The results of the
model yield several statistical values, such as R2, standard error, degrees of freedom, and
0 and 1 with corresponding t-statistics. The R2 value is used to measure how much
variation is found between the inputted data and the linear regression line (i.e. how
accurate the model is in estimating Walk Score). The t-statistics for 0 and 1 verify their
statistical significance, based on the calculated degrees of freedom and standard error.
Microsoft Excel and StatPlus are used for the analysis. It was expected that the
results would show a negative relationship between transportation costs and Walk Score.
The goal is to quantify this relationship by determining the strength of the correlation.
Though our analysis, it is possible to make justified estimations of transportation cost in a
certain area, based on the Walk Score for that neighbourhood. As a result, the effect
walkability has on transportation costs in Greater Vancouver can be confirmed.

From the data analysis, it was determined that the majority of people lived in
areas where housing was considered affordable to them. 336 out of the total 406 tracts
had people living where they could afford the housing (with 30% of the median
household income being spent on housing considered as affordable), but only 259 areas
had people living in areas where both housing and transportation costs were affordable
(with 45% of the median household income being spent on housing and transportation
considered as affordable).
After considering both housing and transportation costs, 49 areas that had
previously been deemed affordable based housing costs became unaffordable. In
comparison, only 9 areas that were previously unaffordable became affordable according
to the H+T index. These results are depicted in Figure 4 and Figure 5.

All 9 areas that became affordable are neighbourhoods located in Vancouver:
Cambie, Kitslano, Point Grey, Mount Pleasant, Fairview, Downtown, False Creek North,
Coal Harbour and the West End.
Areas that became unaffordable were found to be far from Skytrain lines and
located towards the periphery of the region. Table 2 lists the different neighbourhoods
within each municipality that became unaffordable when taking into account the H+T
index. It is important to note that some neighbourhoods appeared more than once due to
multiple census tracts, therefore reinforcing the unaffordability of that area.

Figure 6: Neighbourhoods that are affordable based on H+T costs below 45% of the
median household income.
It is clear from the results, that the suburban nature of most of Greater Vancouver
means that when transportation costs are included, affordability decreases dramatically.
For instance, while Delta, Pitt Meadows, and Richmond have relatively more affordable
housing than other areas (79%, 100%, and 82% of census tracts had households spending
less than 30% on housing costs, respectively), when taking into consideration
transportation costs, the percentage of census tracts in those municipalities that were still
affordable dropped to 32%, 0%, and 42% for Delta, Pitt Meadows and Richmond
respectively. As well, it appears the higher housing costs of urban areas are generally
offset by having lower transportation costs. This is the case for the City of Vancouver
where the number of affordable census tracts increases 21% when including
transportation costs.
20
When considering both housing costs and transportation costs, Vancouver,
Burnaby and New Westminster appear to be exceptions to the general suburban nature of
the region. All three municipalities are quite affordable both when considering housing
costs alone as well as H+T (Vancouver, 64% affordable based on housing only, 85%
affordable based on housing and transportation Burnaby, 80% affordable based on
housing only, 88% affordable based on housing and transportation, and New
Westminster, 85% affordable based on housing only, 85% affordable based on housing
and transportation). Figure 7 shows the relationship between the affordability of housing
in comparison to the affordability of transportation costs and the affordability of housing

compensating for a lack of affordability. These are not areas where affordability
improvements should be focused.
Conversely, there are areas that are very affordable, but their residents have very
low incomes and are spending a significant portion of their income on living costs. The
Downtown East Side and Gastown are good examples of areas where affordability is
22
compensating for a lack of wealth. Besides locating social housing in these areas (which
in most cases is already being done), there are few additional measures that could be
implemented that would improve affordability and reduce the living expense pressures
that residents experience.
The areas where affordability improvements should be focused are areas that are
unaffordable and where residents are spending a disproportionate amount of housing and
transportation costs. Figure 8 illustrates every census tract in the Lower Mainland plotted
based on Actual and Experienced affordability. Forty-five (45) percent is used as the
divide between affordable and unaffordable for both measures. Since incomes vary more
than housing and transportation costs, there is a general trend going diagonally going
from the top-left to the bottom-right. The top-right quadrant indicates areas that are
actually unaffordable and where residents are experiencing a lack of affordability. Census
tracts in this area are of highest concern.
23
Figure 8: Actual vs. experienced affordability for Greater Vancouver census tracts
Centrally-located municipalities with walkable neighbourhoods and good transit
service have few census tracts that are of high-concern. Vancouver and Burnaby
combined have only two census tracts that are unaffordable and where residents
experience high living costs. This is despite a significant range in income and
affordability. This is illustrated in Figures 9 and 10.
24
Figure 10: Actual vs. experienced affordability for Burnaby census tracts
25
In contrast, the suburban municipalities have many areas that are unaffordable and
where residents are experiencing a lack of affordability. Figure 11 shows affordability
and how it is experienced in Surrey census tracts. There is only one census tract in Surrey
that is affordable and where people are living within their means (bottom-left quadrant).
Low-income residents appear to be concentrated in the few census tracts that are
affordable, and are living beyond their means. However, what is of greater concern is the
high number of census tracts that are of high concern. It is clear that policies that would
improve affordability (move tracts to the bottom left) such as rapid transit would have
their greatest effect in the suburbs.
Figure 11: Actual vs. experienced affordability for Surrey census tracts
26
The concept of Actual vs. Experienced affordability can be applied at a regional
level. When looking at affordability, people like to compare the situation in different
municipalities or parts of the region, as opposed to by census tract. In Figures 12, 13 and
14, the percentage of affordable dwellings in each sub-region is plotted against the
percentage of residents living within their means. Figure 12 illustrates this when using the
conventional housing-cost-only definition of affordability.
27
However, when transportation costs are included, most of the region is actually
quite unaffordable. Figure 13 shows that there are now only three municipalities
(Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster) where the majority of dwellings are in
affordable areas and where most people are living within their means. White Rock,
Coquitlam, Surrey and Maple Ridge are where the greatest concern lies as most of the
dwellings are in unaffordable areas and a majority of residents are living beyond their
means. (In White Rock, no one is living within their means.) This in stark contrast to the
housing-only definition where Surrey, Coquitlam and Maple Ridge were considered to be
places that were affordable and people were living within their means.
28
The difference between the common perception of affordability (housing only)
and actual affordability situation is quite significant. This is illustrated in Figure 14. The
most dramatic differences can be seen in White Rock, Pitt Meadows, Surrey Maple Ridge
and Coquitlam. Vancouver is the only sub-region where the affordability situation
improves when including transportation costs.

For the Greater Vancouver analysis, 38.9% of the variation of transportation cost
is explained by walkability. The standard error of 3.49 shows that the difference between
the observed data and the predicted outcomes is relatively small. The response of
transportation cost from variations in Walk Score is statistically significant (t-statistic = 7.74). The scale of impact is moderate, one standard deviation difference resulting in a
possible 0.51% change in transportation cost (-0.11391 4.44966 = -0.51).
For the City of Vancouver, the explanatory power of the model is much higher,
with R2 = 84.00%. The accuracy also improves, with a standard error of just 1.16. The
statistical significance of the modal is greater, with t-statistic of -10.25. Finally, the scale
of impact is slightly higher (-0.22353 2.84215 = -0.64).

5.0 Discussion
5.1
H+T
Summary
The H+T Index research yields interesting results in which affordability across the
region was found to be somewhat worse than expected. Out of 406 census tracts, 278
were deemed affordable by housing costs alone, and only 190 were deemed affordable by
the H+T Index. This drop of 22% in affordable census tracts could have several causes.
People when considering affordable places to live, look only at housing costs and fail to
consider transportation costs and how expensive it is to own a vehicle. A survey could be
performed to see if it is the case the people fail to estimate or underestimate their
transportation costs.
The initial hypothesis that areas close to downtown would become more
affordable, and areas on the outskirts of Greater Vancouver would become less
affordable, when the H+T Index was applied was shown to be correct . This result shows
that the increased housing costs from living close to the downtown core can be offset by
reduced transportation costs. However, even though many areas close to downtown
became more affordable, some were still unaffordable in absolute terms (greater than
45% of income spent on housing and transportation).
Given our time and funding limitations, our method of determining transportation
costs is a rough estimate and could be expanded upon. The implementation of a survey
which records peoples actual transportation costs over an extended period of time would
be the most exact way of determining these costs. However, it would not have been
possible to obtain a sufficient sample size using this technique given our time constraints.
An example question for this type of survey is how much do you spend on
transportation in a week? With more accurate trip diary data, it may be possible to
determine the separate effects of transit and walkability improvements alone on
transportation costs.

Another alternative would be to employ a model that accurately predicts peoples
activity patterns and mode choice. Translink is currently updating their transportation
model to make it much more accurate. Once Translink has completed the update, they
could team with researchers to give a complete and accurate picture of transportation
costs in Greater Vancouver.
Our method assigns a cost of zero for cycling. However, this is not completely
true. There are costs associated with owning a bicycle, but since it is so much lower than
costs associated with other modes of transit, we assigned a zero cost given our time
constraints. Furthermore, we neglected taxi and motorcycle trips, as well as a
neighbourhoods built environment. The walkability of a given area is significant in a
persons mode choice, though this factor is not included in our model. Future research on
the H+T Index in Vancouver may address these limitations and increase its accuracy.

There are some limitations and errors associated with the data used in these
models. Census tract boundaries are not exactly in line with neighbourhood boundaries.
In general, the area within a city neighbourhood is much larger than a census tract. Often,
a single neighbourhood will encompass several census tracts, or a single census tract will
include parts of two neighbourhoods. Therefore, the Walk Score neighbourhood ratings
may be taking into account areas that are not within the associated census tract. In
selecting census tracts to characterize each neighbourhood, consideration was taken to
avoid boundary overlaps.
The linear regression graph created for the Greater Vancouver model depicts a
heteroscedastic regression (the variance of residuals increases with increasing Walk
Score). This suggests that higher Walk Scores will predict transportation cost with less
certainty. This characteristic is ignored in linear regression, as the model assumes a
constant variance in the error term, .
One major assumption in our model is that the relationship between transportation
cost and walkability is linear. However, the relationship may in fact be a second-order
power function, where for higher values of Walk Score, a greater change in transportation
cost occurs. This would suggest that the cost of transportation is more sensitive to
changes in communities with high walkability, with the largest incremental cost reduction
occurring in neighbourhoods with the highest Walk Scores.
Finally, these results do not mean that improving walkability alone will reduce
transportation costs. Since walkability and transit access are highly correlated, it is
impossible to say from the Walk Score analysis that walkability has a certain effect. A
more in-depth analysis of Walk Score, transit access and transportation
