Check out the latest Missouri Economy Indicators report on commuting. This month's MEI features work from CARES Senior Research Analyst, Justin Krohn.

In 2023, Missourians had an average commute time of 23.5 minutes, which is more than three minutes shorter than the national average (26.8).

In 2021, Missouri metro residents had an average commute of 17.4 miles, a modest 4% increase from 2011. In contrast, nonmetro workers traveled nearly twice as far, averaging 30 miles—a distance that has barely changed from 2011.

Workers earning $1,250 or less monthly averaged 20.3 miles per trip, slightly more than those earning $3,334 or more, who averaged 19.8 miles.
