Driving in Clear Creek: What to Know
The average commute is about 28 minutes, the longest of the eight Lassen County places we track and close to the state average of 29. About 68% drive alone and none use public transit, so nearly everyone depends on a car. Only about 32% of households have two or more vehicles, compared with 63% statewide, so one car often covers a lot of daily trips. That makes mileage and reliable coverage important, and SR-36 and SR-147 bring winter mountain conditions that are worth planning for.

Does driving a long way to work raise my insurance in Clear Creek?

Is theft a big worry for coverage in Clear Creek?
Lassen County's rate is low, about 0.5 thefts per thousand people against 3.2 statewide. Comprehensive still covers fire, flood and vandalism, which may matter more than theft for you.
What if my household only has one car?
