How We Selected These City Areas

The list uses the principal named city of each of the 50 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas in the Census Bureau’s July 2025 population estimates. Nearby school comparisons use a consistent distance radius instead of metropolitan boundaries.

A reported institution location may differ from the automotive teaching campus. Check that campus and the actual driving route with the school before you plan your commute.
