Workers who drive alone to work.
Share of workers age 16+ whose usual commute is driving alone in a car, truck or van. This is a direct Census commute-pattern measure, not a car-dependency index: it does not tell us whether transit, walking or cycling is workable from a particular address, and it says nothing about errands or household vehicle needs.
District of Columbia has the lowest published drive-alone commute in this comparison, at 29.3%. The next states shown are New York (48.7%) and Massachusetts (62.0%).
The table orders 51 states by workers who drive alone to work. It describes one published measure, not an overall judgment about where to live.
Use the result as a starting point, then compare the underlying source, dates, and local county figures before making a decision.
