Every working resident’s trip, home to work, as the crow flies. Roads add to it, so real drives run longer.

- Two sources, two years. Trips, distances and jobs based here: Census LEHD 2024, primary jobs, where the employer reports them. Income, poverty, unemployment, commute time and how people travel: Census ACS 2020–24 averages.
