Common destinations and average distances people drive to from their homes most often:

1. Workplace: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average commute time for workers in the United States is about 27 minutes. This translates to an average one-way distance of 10-12 miles, depending on traffic and other factors.
2. Grocery store: The average distance people drive to a grocery store is about 2-3 miles, according to a survey by the National Cooperative Grocers Association.
3. School: Parents often drive their children to school, with the average distance ranging from 2-10 miles depending on the child’s age and the family’s location.

5. Medical appointments: The average distance people drive to medical appointments can vary greatly depending on the type of appointment and the individual’s location. However, a study by the National Academy of Sciences found that the average distance people travel to see a primary care physician is about 5 miles.

It’s worth noting that these averages are just generalizations, and actual distances to these and other common destinations can vary depending on a variety of factors such as location, transportation options, and personal preferences.
