'Lezlie--

Here are some data sources that address housing affordability,
income, wages, parking and commute patterns:
 
 
Income and Housing Affordability
 
Out of Reach 2009 (Nat. Low Income Housing Coalition)
 http://www.nlihc.org/oor/oor2009/area.cfm?state=CA

Distances
 
Locked Out 2008  (Cal. Budget Project)
http://www.cbp.org/pdfs/2008/080212_LockedoutReport.pdf
See especially:  
Table 3.2 (How Long Does It Take to Get to Work) [Analyzing Data

Northern California (NPH)(2001)
 
 
Commute Patterns of Low Income  Persons

In addition, several of California's major nonprofit housing
developers are now conducting studies of the commute distances and
car ownership of their substantial low income tenant populations. 
Those results should be available in less than a month.
 
Let me know if you or other staff have questions.
