Casper-Natrona County International Airport (CPR) sits approximately 7 miles northwest of downtown Casper, about a 15-minute drive -- a real, genuine, modest drive, distinct from this project's Fargo, ND record, where the primary airport sits directly within city limits. This record's own research this pass did not independently confirm current fixed-route public-transit service directly to the airport -- a real, disclosed gap.
A Below-National Average Commute Time, With a Real, Disclosed Cross-Source Spread
Casper's average commute time is cited at either approximately 19 minutes or approximately 16 minutes, depending on source -- both run meaningfully below this project's ~26.4-minute national comparison figure (approximately 28% below using the higher, more conservative 19-minute figure).
A Genuinely Car-Dependent City Overall
The city's overall citywide Walk Score runs around 36 ('Car-Dependent'), and 78.9%-85.8% of commuters (depending on citation) were cited driving alone to work -- a real, genuinely car-dependent pattern.
A Real, Disclosed Cross-Source Spread on the Drove-Alone Share
The drove-alone-to-work share carries a real, disclosed spread across citations (78.9% per one source, 85.8% per another) -- this record discloses both rather than picking a single clean number.
