Comparing DC to other states with this measure is an apples-and-oranges situation. DC is a city — and nothing else. It has no suburbs or rural areas within its borders. (We have some nearby, of course, but they’re all in VA or MD.) All the states, however, do have suburban and rural areas, and that’s where people drive more and there’s little mass transit available.
Still, I’ve been able to live in this area without a car for 35 years, so we must be doing something right.
