(HOUSTON BUSINESS JOURNAL) - The good news is, you could commute a mere 16.3 minutes to work. The bad news is, you’d have to live in Lubbock. The flatland West Texas city has the fastest average commute in the state, according to recent rankings.
Houston, conversely, ranked among the slowest commutes with residents driving on average 27.3 minutes to work, according to HomeArea.com, which compiled its list from the U.S. Census Bureau’s recently released estimates from the American Community Survey. Only two Texas metros had longer times than the Bayou City: Fort Worth (27.9 minutes) and and Garland (29.5 minutes).
The average statewide travel time to work from the latest estimates is 26.5 minutes and has risen 0.7 percent since 2017.
