Driving in Home Garden: What to Know
The average commute is about 25 minutes, shorter than the state average of 29 and fourth longest among nine Kings County places. About 81% of workers drive alone, compared with 67% statewide, and almost nobody rides transit. Only 3% work from home, so most people are on the road at regular commute times. That daily driving makes mileage and a clean record important, and it means you will want solid liability limits and not just the minimum.
