Among the 120 largest places in Florida, Sarasota has the smallest share of long commutes (4.9%), followed by Tallahassee and Gainesville. Click any column to sort; click a city for its guide.
Across the 120 places in Florida that we cover, the median is 17.9% and the average 18.9%; the figure runs from 4.9% (Sarasota) to 51.6% (Poinciana). That is a spread of 10.6 times between the two ends. The state figure is 18.1%; 59 of the 120 places are above it and 61 at or below.
The first five are Sarasota, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Ocala, Pinellas Park. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: short commutes can mean a self-contained job market or a small town with few employers. Use the Compare tab on each city page to see how two places differ across income, rent, commute and education, and check the county page for the local job market.
