Disclaimer
The figures published on Miles Between Cities — straight-line distances, driving distances and drive times between cities — are reference and planning figures, published in good faith from the sources named on each page and produced by the methods described on the methodology page. They are not surveyed measurements of any individual journey, and they are not a navigation service, a traffic service or a promise about any particular trip. Your actual route, mileage and journey time will differ from the figures here, sometimes substantially, because of your exact start and end points, the route you choose, traffic, weather, roadworks, closures, the season, the time of day and your own stops.
Driving distances on this site come in two clearly labelled kinds. Figures labelled as measured via OpenStreetMap routing were calculated by the OSRM routing engine over OpenStreetMap road data retrieved in October 2026; they reflect the fastest routable path between the Census coordinates of the two cities under the engine's model, not necessarily the route any particular driver would or should take. Figures labelled as estimates are arithmetic estimates — straight-line distance multiplied by a circuity factor of 1.25, with time at an assumed 50 miles per hour — included so that pairs without a measured route still carry an honestly labelled planning figure. No estimated figure should be quoted, relied on or republished as though it were a measured one.
Straight-line distances are haversine calculations between the internal points published for each place in the U.S. Census Bureau Gazetteer files. Those points represent each place as a whole; they are not your address, your destination's address, or an airport, and distances between actual addresses in the same two cities can differ by many miles. Time-zone information is provided for general planning and reflects the principal zone observed by each city at the time of writing; zone boundaries and daylight-saving arrangements change by law from time to time, and localities near boundaries may differ.
Nothing on this site is professional advice of any kind — not travel-safety advice, not logistics advice, not legal, financial or relocation advice — and no reader should make a safety-critical, contractual or financial decision in reliance on these figures alone. Always check live road, weather and traffic conditions before and during any journey, obey the law and posted limits, drive according to the conditions, and stop and rest when tired regardless of what any schedule says. External sites linked from this site, including data sources, are responsible for their own content, and the presence of advertising on a page does not constitute endorsement of any advertised product or service. If you find an error, we would rather hear about it than leave it standing: please use the contact page.
A note on freshness: the data behind this edition of the site was retrieved in October 2026, and the figures carry that date on every page. Road networks, routing data and Census coordinates all change over time — a new interchange shortens a corridor, a revised file moves a point, a boundary or a time-zone rule is adjusted by law — and a figure that was accurate for its stated retrieval date can drift from the ground truth afterwards. That is a further reason, beyond traffic and weather, to treat every figure here as the starting point of a plan rather than its final word, and to confirm any journey that matters with current sources close to the day of travel. Where this disclaimer and a specific page appear to differ, the more cautious reading is the one to travel by.
