In rural areas, low income working families often are forced to make trade-offs between the cost of housing and distance to jobs. Looking at the cost of gasoline alone isn't sufficient to gauge the true cost of living a long distance from your work. Saving $200 per month on housing isn't such a good deal if it adds $400 in travel costs, but many families lack the information to make informed choices about these trade-offs. This tool can help families and those advising them on their decisions make a much more realistic estimate of the true cost of that long commute.
