Reynoldsburg Ohio Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates

The busiest time to head out in Reynoldsburg is 6:30-6:59 AM, when 13.1% of commuters leave home, compared with 10.1% across Ohio. Early starts are less common than in Ohio: 12.6% of commuters leave before 6 AM, versus 14.3% there. The morning rush is more spread out than in Ohio: 42.3% of departures fall in the two hours from 6:30 to 8:29 AM, versus 46.2% there. About 1 in 3 commuters (30.8%) leave at 9 AM or later, which usually points to shift work, flexible hours or part-time jobs.

When people leave matters as much as how far they go. Rush-hour traffic shrinks how much ground a 20-minute trip covers, so a trade area drawn as a simple circle often takes in neighborhoods that customers or staff would never drive from and misses others that are an easy trip. A drive-time zone, also called an isochrone, outlines every place within a set number of minutes of an address, which makes it the more honest way to size a store's catchment, a hiring area or the commute from a new home.
