CitiesAntioch, California

Summary

Darker amber is a longer mean travel time to work. Each city is a marked point on the US state map. Alaska and Hawaii are inset. Places without a packaged map dot stay in the ranking and table. Puerto Rico cities are in the ranking and table but are not drawn here.

Among the 346 US cities with at least 100,000 residents, a typical city has a mean travel time to work of 24.7 min, the midpoint of those 346 city means on the 2023 ACS five-year estimates. Antioch, California has the longest mean commute at 43.3 min, followed by Hesperia, California at 41.6 min and Palmdale, California at 41.6 min. Wichita Falls, Texas is shortest at 14.4 min. 62 cities average 30 minutes or more. A midpoint of city means is not a United States commute time; it treats each city equally and is not weighted by how many workers live there.

Summary

Every incorporated or Census place with at least 100,000 residents, 346 in all. Antioch, California leads at 43.3 min, then Hesperia, California at 41.6 min and Palmdale, California at 41.6 min. Wichita Falls, Texas is lowest at 14.4 min. The middle city sits at 24.7 min. 62 cities average 30 minutes or more and 13 average 35 or more.

Summary

The same 346 cities, ranked by the share of commuting workers with a one-way trip of 60 minutes or more. Antioch, California leads at 32.8%, then Palmdale, California at 31.8% and Hesperia, California at 27.6%. Overland Park, Kansas is lowest at 1.8%. The long-commute share is B08303 workers in the 60-to-89 and 90-or-more minute bins divided by the B08303 total.

Summary

Each point is one city of 100,000 or more, 346 in all. Cities with a longer mean travel time tend to send a larger share of workers on trips of an hour or more, but the two measures are not the same: a high mean can come from many moderately long trips, while a high 60-plus share marks especially long one-way commutes.

About this data

Mean travel time to work is aggregate travel time in minutes (B08013) divided by workers 16 years and over who did not work from home and reported a travel time (B08303). It is a mean for commuting workers in each city, not a median.
A midpoint of city means treats each published city equally. It is not a United States commute time and is not weighted by the number of workers.
The long-commute share is workers with a one-way trip of 60 minutes or more (B08303_012E plus B08303_013E) divided by the B08303 total.
Only Census places with at least 100,000 residents on the 2023 ACS five-year total population estimate (table B01003) are included. Smaller places are left out.
Puerto Rico places that meet the population cutoff are in the ranking and table. Alaska and Hawaii cities appear on the ranking; on the map they are shown in inset when a packaged city dot exists.
Places without a packaged map dot stay in the ranking and table.
Some margins of error are ACS controlled-estimate sentinels (for example ***** / −555,555,555) rather than ordinary sampling errors. Those values are stored as missing and shown as a dash. Affected population margins of error: 20 cities.
