The busiest time to head out in Campbell County is 7:00-7:29 AM, when 12.8% of commuters leave home, compared with 14.2% across Virginia. Early starts are less common than in Virginia: 11.0% of commuters leave before 6 AM, versus 14.0% there. The morning rush looks much like Virginia's: 47.3% of departures fall in the two hours from 6:30 to 8:29 AM, versus 47.5% there. About 1 in 4 commuters (24.1%) 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.
