Study: Centreville Has One of Nation's Worst Commutes

Stuck in traffic a lot? You're not alone. Twenty-nine percent of Centreville residents take at least 45 minutes to get to work, according to a new study.

The study done by On Numbers, a Bizjournals.com blog, compiled data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey. It awarded points for every commuter who takes less than 30 minutes to get from home to his or her job, and it took away points for every commuter above that threshold.

Overall, Centreville ranked 457 out of 483 cities, villages, incorporated towns and census designated places with populations between 50,000 and 100,000.

The study showed that 31 percent of Centreville commuters take 15-29 minutes to get to work. Another 24 percent commute for 30-44 minutes. 

The best commute in America for midsize cities was in Grand Forks, N.D., where more than two-thirds of workers get to work in less than 15 minutes. The worst was in Prince William County's Dale City.
