Commuting more than 90 minutes a day to work, known as "super commuting," is on the rise in the U.S., and in some unexpected places.
According to county-level data compiled by Apartmentlist.com from 2005 to 2017, the number of"super commuters" grew by 32%. That is more than triple the 9% growth rate for those with commutes shorter than 90 minutes.
"The tri-state area where Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky converge, which is the foremost regions for coal mining in the country, I think what you see there is an industry where a lot of those coal mines shut down in recent years,” he said."What we see there is that the folks who are still employed in that industry are having to drive further and further to get to the active job sites because there are so few opportunities left.
"In places like New York and San Francisco, where generally super commuting tends to be a symptom of really rapid economic growth — where there’s tons of jobs being added, but there's not enough new housing. And so housing costs get really expensive, and folks get pushed out to the peripheries of the metro,” he explained. “In the Midwest region, what you're seeing is really almost the opposite, where it's kind of a region that's seeing a long term decline economically.
