on non-highway roads, come from proprietary
Ticon and

Commute Mode Trends in Fremont County, 2009-2024
This chart shows how workers in Fremont County get to work, as a share of all workers aged 16 and over, across 16 U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) releases from 2009 to 2024. Each release is a 5-year estimate: the 2024 figures cover surveys taken from 2020 to 2024. Because neighboring releases share most of their survey years, the lines move gradually, and a sudden change such as the rise of remote work in 2020 spreads across several releases. Hover over or tap a line to highlight it, and use the legend to show or hide a mode. Driving starts hidden so the smaller modes stay readable.

The busiest time to head out in Fremont County is 7:00-7:29 AM, when 19.1% of commuters leave home, compared with 15.1% across Wyoming. Early starts are less common than in Wyoming: 11.2% of commuters leave before 6 AM, versus 16.3% there. The morning rush is more concentrated than in Wyoming: 58.7% of departures fall in the two hours from 6:30 to 8:29 AM, versus 51.4% there. About 1 in 5 commuters (18.6%) 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.
