From: Universal patterns of long-distance commuting and social assortativity in cities
Panels (a–d) show the C and S assortativity matrices for the below (\(d<median\)) and above median (\(d>median\)) commuting users in a selected metropolitan area, Detroit. (e,f) The corresponding distributions of \(\rho _C\) (green) and \(\rho _S\) (blue) for all 50 metropolitan areas for users with \(d>{median}\) and \(d<{median}\). (g) Pairwise values of \(\rho _C\) and \(\rho _S\) for users with \(d>{median}\) and \(d<{median}\) by metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas are sorted in decreasing order by \(\rho _C\) for easier representation. (h) Social network assortativity versus commuting assortativity for below and above median commuters with selected cities from Fig. 3 labeled. (i) Decrease in the commuting assortativity and the social network assortativity measured in percentage. Black horizontal line corresponds to the average change in social network assortativity. Grey shaded area marks the standard deviation.
