It has been shown that the lifestyle is a key factor in shaping household daily activity schedule, travel pattern, and trip generation. Therefore, the analysis of the choice of lifestyle is an important element in explaining household travel behavior and to address a wide range of policy issues related to transportation equity, mobility, and accessibility. This paper aims to explore typical household lifestyles in the US that are transferable to other urban areas for travel demand forecasting. Several variables that appeared to have strong relationships with the lifestyle choices were used in a principal component analysis. Using a TwoStep clustering schema, extracted factors were employed to identify typical lifestyles that shape the observed household activity patterns. Seven distinguishable clusters were identified that present national level standards of living with respect to travel behavior. Furthermore, exploring lifestyles, socio-demographics, land-use variables, and graphical representation of the household location facilitated the process of explaining each lifestyle more precisely.
