Suwanee
Suwanee is located in Gwinnett County, and according to the Census, only 57.9% of workers in Gwinnett County live and work in the same area—the rest leave the county. The average worker in Suwannee spends 31.8 minutes commuting each way in traffic.
Sugar Hill
Sugar Hill is the place farthest from Atlanta to make the list. The suburb is nearly 40 miles northeast of Atlanta, and without traffic, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the city. However, with traffic, the trip can be well over an hour.
Sugar Hill drivers pay slightly more for car insurance than the Atlanta-area average, $1,388.42 each year, and significantly more for gas at $3.50 per gallon. That’s compared to an average of $1,375.46 each year and $3.43 per gallon, respectively.
