If you’re looking to relocate to get away from traffic jams, long commutes and bumper to bumper driving, I want to show you 10 places in America that have the worst commutes. Here’s the list with the number of hours a person is caught in traffic per year.

1. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, California - 93 hours
2. San Francisco-Oakland, California - 72 hours
3. Washington, D.C. - 69 hours
4. Atlanta, Georgia - 67 hours
5. Houston, Texas - 63 hours
6. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas - 60 hours
7. Chicago, Illinois - 58 hours
8. Detroit, Michigan - 57 hours
9. Riverside-San Bernardino, California - 55 hours
10. Orlando, Florida - 55 hours

While I am not arguing with the rankings here as I would bet the cities are placed in the right order. I am calling BS on the number of hours next to each city. My commute is down a flight of stairs as I work from home, but my wife, on the other hand, spends at least 80 minutes per day in her car going to and from work. With 3 weeks vacation that puts her at about 318.5 hours per year she’s commuting. And there are people in our neighborhood with worse commutes than that. So, use this list as a guide at best. When you want to know real numbers have your real estate agent ask around the areas you’re thinking about moving to. I’m sure you’ll find homeowners in the area more than willing to complain about their commutes.
