This map shows the average commute to work in 2019 for workers aged 16 or older. The map show a concentration of relatively high average commute times in lower Dutchess County, Putnam County, and Upper Westchester County. This is likely due to commuters traveling into New York City. On the eastern edge of Rockland County, the Town of Highland bucks the trend of nearby municipalities with an average commute of less than 25 minutes. This may be explained by the presence of West Point Military Academy in the Town, where much of the staff lives on-post or in nearby communities.
