Morris County Texas Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates

The busiest time to head out in Morris County is 7:00-7:29 AM, when 22.9% of commuters leave home, compared with 15.3% across Texas. Early starts are more common than in Texas: 16.0% of commuters leave before 6 AM, versus 14.9% there. The morning rush is more concentrated than in Texas: 53.0% of departures fall in the two hours from 6:30 to 8:29 AM, versus 47.9% there. About 1 in 5 commuters (19.2%) 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.
