Commute Time Percentile Calculator
Compare your usual one-way commute with the grouped 2024 ACS travel-time distribution for U.S. workers.
What this calculator measures
Compare your usual one-way commute with the grouped 2024 ACS travel-time distribution for U.S. workers. The comparison uses the reference population and evidence identified on this page.
How to interpret your result
A percentile describes the approximate percentage of the stated reference population with a lower value. When a source supports only categories, medians, or averages, Humanlytic shows that broader comparison instead of inventing an exact percentile.
How this works
Evidence quality
Calculated from survey data
Method
Humanlytic places the entered one-way commute in one of ACS Table B08303’s 12 published travel-time categories and cumulatively sums the official 2024 national population estimates. It reports the full percentile range occupied by that category and does not assume how workers are distributed within it.
Data source
U.S. Census Bureau — 2024 ACS 1-Year Table B08303, Travel Time to Work
Limitations
ACS publishes 12 travel-time categories rather than exact-minute percentiles. Humanlytic returns the selected category’s cumulative percentile range and does not interpolate within a category.
