This study is to understand how Transit-Oriented Development influences
demographic characteristics within its boundary. Case studies from the California TOD
database was used. Through the changes of TOD during 1990 and 2000 and the
comparison of trends in TODs and located regions, many TODs are low-income areas and
such factors induces other demographic phenomenon. Meanwhile, the level of transit use
did not change much and the vehicle ownership did not decrease definitely. Though such
facts might imply the inefficiency of TOD, there are other factors such as economic and
transit environment that cause this fact. Thus, TOD is actually influenced heavily by
background policies, experience, and supportive transit circumstances. / text
