Now here’s a ranking that’s sure to please most locals: Oklahoma City has the third-shortest daily commute time among the top 52 cities in the country. This little factoid comes from the Census Bureau's recent American Community Survey.

 

According to the study, Oklahoma City drivers spend an average of just 21.35 minutes in their daily one-way commute. Only Rochester, N.Y. (20.37 minutes) and Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y. (20.78 minutes) ranked with better commute times.

 

OKC’s ranking beat other cities of similar size, including Salt Lake City, Nashville and Milwaukee.

 

The worst commutes in the country, not surprisingly, were in cities with some mega-populations. New York City topped the list, where the average one-way commute time was 34.55 minutes. The NYC was followed by the Washington, D.C. metro with 33.23 minutes and Chicagoland with 31.08 minutes.
