Area	One-Way Commute	Daily Round-Trip	Yearly Time Spent	Estimated Yearly Cost	Local Road Traffic (VPD)
Floyd County	12.6 min	25.1 min	105 hrs/yr	$3,248	226

Local road traffic counts, vehicles per day on non-highway roads, come from proprietary Ticon and TrafficZoom data.

The busiest time to head out in Floyd County is 7:30-7:59 AM, when 18.8% of commuters leave home, compared with 11.8% across Texas. Early starts are more common than in Texas: 16.1% of commuters leave before 6 AM, versus 14.9% there. The morning rush is more concentrated than in Texas: 53.2% of departures fall in the two hours from 6:30 to 8:29 AM, versus 47.9% there. About 1 in 4 commuters (23.7%) 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.
