I have a 15 minute commute, but I'm atypical. One of the patterns that grew in (as I understand it) the 1940s and 1950s was the tendency to work in the city, but have a home farther out in the suburbs.

Apparently, the average commute time is 25.4 minutes, according to the US Census Bureau (although it gets much higher in some places): https://project.wnyc.org/commute-times-us/embed.html#5.00/42...
