Birmingham is the eighth least friendly metro area in the country for commuters and the environment according to a recent study conducted by coworking management platform Yardi Kube using Census data from the 50 largest metros in the U.S.

The average Birmingham metro commute received a score of 56/100 in Yardi Kube’s ranking, a far cry below the highest scoring commute, Buffalo, NY, with an 85.3/100.

This score came from a combination of average travel time (26.2 minutes for Birmingham metro commuters), what percentage of people’s income goes towards commute costs (2.7% Birmingham), what percentage of people commute in a metro (39.2% Birmingham), how many commuters drive more than an hour to work (5.4% Birmingham), and an eco-friendly category based on what a metro’s annual CO2 emissions are (2,465 lbs. Birmingham).

While Buffalo’s annual CO2 emissions (2,449 lbs.) place them closer to Birmingham’s eco-friendliness, commuters had a shorter average travel time of 20.3 minutes and the annual amount of income commuters spent ranked almost a full percent lower at 1.8%.

Many of the smaller cities included in the Birmingham metro area are the most impacted by difficult commutes, as the Lede previously reported.
