How far apart the cities of the Austin metro are on commute time

the Austin metro · Data as of 2026-09-19 · ALEX Intelligence

Read this carefully: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2024. The figure is aggregate travel time to work divided by the number of workers who did not work at home -- a true mean, not a bucketed midpoint. Places where the ACS suppresses either aggregate are absent rather than shown as zero.

Measure

Mean commute, minutes, ranked highest first across Caldwell, Travis County (and neighbours), TX (9 ranked in total).

How the headline figure is computed

Manor against Wells Branch, the highest and lowest of the 9 units compared. Every unit is named individually in the table below and each figure is that unit's own; none of them is a figure for the market as a whole. The median across the 9 is 29.4.

Universe

Places below a 5,000-resident floor are excluded so a median computed on a handful of households cannot top the ranking.
