34.7 minute commute time. In comparison, Madison workers report an average of 23 minutes, Orange 26.5 minutes, Culpeper 28.5 minutes, and Fauquier workers report an average of 32.6 minutes.
Rappahannock workers are more likely to report that they use a carpool to get to work, and a higher percentage than any county except Madison report they walk to work or work at home.
According to the statistics compiled from the census, 66.8 percent of Rappahannock’s workers report they drive alone and 21.2 percent report they carpool. For Culpeper the figures are 71.9 percent and 20.9 percent, for Fauquier 73.5 percent and 16.9 percent, for Madison 66.8 percent and 19.7 percent and for Orange 72.8 percent and 18.4 percent.
The percentage of Rappahannock workers who walk to work or work at home is 10.7. For Culpeper that number is 4.8, for Fauquier 8 percent, and for Orange 6.6 percent. Twelve percent of Madison’s workers walk to work or work at home. Very few workers in any of the counties use public transportation or other means of getting to work.

Of the 1,141 jobs, 27 are in agriculture and forestry, 102 in construction, 260 in manufacturing, 258 in trade, 22 in finance, insurance and real estate, 183 in services and 289 in government.
Separate statistics, again from the Census are provided for Rappahannock workers aged 16 and older wherever they work. Of 3,375 workers whose jobs are categorized by industry, 409 work in agriculture, forestry or fishing, 649 in construction, 416 in manufacturing, 249 in transportation, communications and public utilities, 487 in trade, 122 in finance, insurance and real estate, 825 in services, and 218 in public administration.
