Apex commutes and home offices
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates) counts about 36,400 working Apex residents. About 36% work from home and 55% drive alone. At 25.2 minutes, the average Apex commute is a bit longer than Cary's, and many of those miles are on US-1 and NC 55.
All those highway miles mean more rocks thrown up by truck tires. With so many people working from home, plenty of cars sit in driveways during the day, which makes repairs easy to schedule.
