Latimer County Oklahoma Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates

The busiest time to head out in Latimer County is 7:00-7:29 AM, when 21.1% of commuters leave home, compared with 15.2% across Oklahoma. Early starts are more common than in Oklahoma: 18.2% of commuters leave before 6 AM, versus 13.9% there. The morning rush looks much like Oklahoma's: 51.7% of departures fall in the two hours from 6:30 to 8:29 AM, versus 50.4% there. About 1 in 6 commuters (17.2%) 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.
