In 2020, 691 K jobs are inside I-610, while 911 K jobs are in the ring between I-610 and TX-8. The other 1850 K jobs are in various sectors around the perimeter.
So not only do most Houston metro residents not commute to the city center, they do not commute to inside of 8, a ring of about 25 miles in diameter.
- S_A_P 7y agoThats definitely true in many cases, and Im sure its driven largely by the traffic patterns. I can add that once you get inside of beltway 8, its usually a pretty easy drive. It is the part between 99 and beltway 8 (usually about 5-10 miles iirc) that takes 50% of the commuting time.
