The Best and Worst Cities for Commuters in Illinois

If you're commuting from the suburbs, you probably know which list you made.

Depending on where you live and work in Illinois, the amount of time you spend commuting either could drive you to the brink of insanity or even help your mind unwind after another day on the job.

The average commute time for most working Illinoisans is 28.1 minutes, which is about three minutes longer than the national average, according to Obrella.com, a website that provides home and car insurance advice.

Using traffic data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Obrella ranked the 40 best and worst commuter cities with populations of at least 10,000 based on the average one-way commute time.
