Driving Alone

Another post based on my playing with 2017 health data, today's installment looking at "driving alone" in your long commute, which is considered -- believe it or not -- as unhealthy. So in Georgia what counties lead the way in driving alone? Glad you asked since I cranked the data and need to do something with it. Below, our Top Ten with, in parentheses, the percentage who report driving alone on long commutes.

1. Paulding (63%)
2. Heard (60%)
3. Bryan (58%)
4. Jasper (58%)
5. Brantley (58%)
6. Talbot (57%)
7. Crawford (55%)
8. Pike (55%)
9. Effingham (55%)
10. Hancock (55%)

By the way, the county with the fewest folks percentage-wise driving alone is Dougherty.  Clarke County, where I live, is 148th.

So what can we tell about the counties above? Folks who live there have to drive elsewhere to work.
