PHOENIX (Stacker) - Commuting easily ranks as one of the least enjoyable parts of a person’s day. Commuters encounter more physical health problems, and low-income commuters are less likely to gain financial stability—among a host of other negative impacts.

And yet, America’s commutes keep getting longer as people move farther away from the office, according to census data.
