RANKED: The 20 Colorado Counties with the Longest Commutes

With the rise of remote work in Colorado, we are seeing fewer vehicles during our morning and afternoon commutes. Although that is true, there is still a ton of traffic during peak commute hours.

I live in Northern Colorado, and I always try my best to avoid I-25. Construction is constant, and I consistently hear complaints about traffic. I would advise finding alternative routes because construction will continue on I-25 for the next four years.

There is traffic across the entire state. Some areas are worse than others. We were able to find out which Colorado residents have the worst commutes, thanks to new data from Overflow Data. Is your county on this list?

Larimer County Left Off List

I was very surprised to not see Larimer County on the top 20 list. The average time for Larimer and Boulder Counties is less than 24 minutes.

Denver County residents have a 25.3-minute commute on average.

Average Commute for Coloradans

We previously found that the average Colorado resident has a 25-minute commute. 25 minutes is not too bad, right? My daily commute is about half an hour every day. Can I be honest with you? I enjoy it quite a bit.

It is enough time for me to let my caffeine kick in on my way in. By the time I get home, I am not carrying work home with me.

The city with the worst commute is Colorado Springs. You can take a look at the Colorado cities with the worst commutes below.
