BISMARCK, N.D. - The latest Census Bureau figures on commuting show North Dakotans spent less time getting to work than other states, averaging 15.5 minutes last year.
The census report is based on a poll of American households, called the American Community Survey. The commuter time represents the mean travel time for workers age 16 and older who did not work at home last year.
The census report found 57 percent of the North Dakota respondents said their trip to work took less than 15 minutes.
For Burleigh and Morton counties, 52 percent said their commute was less than 15 minutes. In the Fargo area, including Cass and neighboring Clay (Minn.), County, commutes may take longer, but about 48 percent still said it took them less than 15 minutes.
