Histograms of the total proper motion and vtan for the L, T, and Y dwarfs in the 20 pc census. In the upper diagram, the total motion is shown for all systems in the census. In the lower diagram, the tangential velocity is shown only for those systems having parallax measures with uncertainties below 12.5%. The median vtan value for objects in the lower panel is 30.8 km s−1.
