Driving in Burnt Ranch: What to Know
About 74% of workers here work from home, compared with 16% across California, so many residents rarely commute. Those who do drive alone are only about 15% of workers, far below the state's 67%. Every household has a vehicle, and all of them have two or more, which makes sense when towns are miles apart and there is no public transit. SR-299 runs through the area, and long trips for errands or work are common, so be honest about your annual mileage and make sure your liability limits are comfortable.
