U.S. States by Commute Time

How long does it take workers in each state to get to and from work?
Notes
  • 2023 data from the U.S. Census Bureau
  • Doesn't count people who work from home
  • The original data is how long it takes to travel to work. We have doubled this number, but the true number might be higher since traffic is generally worse in the afternoon than in the morning.
