There are more than 330 million people in the United States and according to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), there are around 239 million who drive, which equates to nine out of 10 Americans. The majority of Americans rely on passenger vehicles for daily travel and some cities are far more challenging than others. There are almost 19.5 thousand cities in the U.S. but not all have easy roads to traverse.
The latest government data shows that over 90% of the 136 million commuters in the U.S. either drive or carpool to get to work. Cumulatively, Americans drove nearly 3.2 trillion miles in 2022, or about 16,630 miles for every licensed driver, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Personal vehicles may have several advantages over the alternatives, after all, motorists are not beholden to the timetables or predetermined routes of public transportation, and, unlike cyclists or pedestrians, can travel in comfort regardless of weather conditions. But these advantages and the freedom and convenience that come with driving in motor vehicles also have significant downsides.
As of 2022, it is estimated that there are around 283.4 million vehicles on the road in America. With such a vast amount of vehicles on the road, the typical American driver lost 51 hours to traffic congestion delays in 2022, according to transportation analytics company Inrix. Additionally, with the average price of a new vehicle topping $48,700 in December 2023, cars are major investments that, when left unattended, make obvious targets for thieves. Data from the National Insurance Crime Bureau shows that a vehicle was stolen nearly every 30 seconds in the U.S. in 2022. (Here is a look at the cities with the most car theft.)
The drawbacks and risks associated with driving are unmistakable in certain U.S. cities. Getting behind the wheel is inherently dangerous. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported nearly 336,000 fatal crashes in the U.S. over the 10 years ending in 2021. Using metro area-level data from a range of sources, 24/7 Wall St. identified the most challenging cities to drive in each state. (These are the most dangerous cars on the road today.)
The metro areas within each state were ranked on an index of three measures: deadly car accidents per 100,000 people in 2021, calculated using data from the NHTSA and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey; reported car thefts per 100,000 people in 2022, as reported by the NICB; and average commute time in 2022 from the ACS.
It must be noted that four states have only one metropolitan area – Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. As a result, the metro area listed in these states ranks as the worst by default only.
Here are the most challenging cities to drive in each state.
