Distances from Florence-Graham, CA to nearby and major US cities

Drive times and estimated fuel costs from Florence-Graham, CA to the towns around it and to the major cities most people head for. Pick any row for the full route.

Florence-Graham, CA sits in California, on Los Angeles time, at 33.97° north and 118.24° west. The nearest place of any size is Westmont, CA, about 5 miles away — roughly 10 min of driving. 105 other towns of size are within an hour's drive.

Counting only places above twenty thousand people, 196 are within three hours' driving of Florence-Graham, CA and 253 within six — which is a better measure of how connected a town is than its position on a map. The nearest city of real size is Los Angeles, CA, about 8 miles out.

The two lists below answer different questions. The first is what is physically close, which is what you want for an errand or a day out. The second is the major cities people actually drive to from here, which is usually a longer trip and a different kind of plan. Every figure is an estimated road distance rather than a routed one, and every drive time assumes free-flowing traffic with no allowance for a stop — how the estimate works. For a pair that is not listed here, the calculator will work out any two US cities.

Which way the driving goes from Florence-Graham, CA

Reachable places are rarely spread evenly around a town, and they are not around Florence-Graham, CA. Of everything above twenty thousand people within three hours' drive, the largest share — 65 of 196 — lies to the east, with 58 to the southeast. Only 5 sit to the south. That asymmetry is usually geography rather than road building: coastline, a state line, mountains or simply empty country in one direction and settlement in another.

196 of those places are in California and 0 are across a state line, which matters more than the mileage does. Speed limits, phone rules and what you may do at a red light are all set state by state, so a drive of the same length can be governed by two sets of rules or by one. The state-by-state differences are set out separately.

The major-city list below spans a wide range: San Diego, CA is about 124 miles out, roughly 2 hr 4 min of driving, while Queens, NY is around 2,850 miles — a different order of trip entirely, and one to plan in stages rather than as a day.

One thing none of these figures account for: the distance is the same in both directions but the drive often is not. A route that climbs on the way out descends on the way back, rush hour is in one direction in the morning and the other in the evening, and a mountain pass can be open one way and closed the other in winter. The estimate here is symmetrical because the road is; the day is not. For a long haul out of Florence-Graham, CA, the road safety guides cover the part the mileage leaves out.

How are these distances worked out?

Each one is an estimated road distance. The figure starts from the straight-line distance between the two places and applies a road factor — how much longer roads run than a straight line. Where the direct line crosses water, the route is sent round by the crossing or the shore road that traffic actually uses. This is an estimate, not a routed distance. The road figure is the straight-line distance plus an allowance for how much longer roads run — about 16% on trips over 40 miles, and proportionally more on short ones. Where the straight line crosses water, the route is sent round by a real crossing, which adds more again. For anything that has to be exact, use a routing service.
