Residents in the southeast corner of San Diego County have some of the longest and earliest morning commutes, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

There are about 2,400 commuting workers in the southeastern area known as a census tract. It includes the communities of Boulder Oaks, Campo, Canyon City and parts of Tecate, and the average commute for workers is about 42 minutes.

It’s topped only by residents living near Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, who have an average commute of 43 minutes.



Data from the 2014 American Community Survey shows nearly 40 percent of residents in both areas start their commute between midnight and 6 a.m., more than any other timeframe.
