    People may be traveling long distances for today's eclipse, but the average Franklin County resident travels 35 miles a day, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick and Alice Feng report.

    • That's compared to the national average of 42 daily miles, per data from mobility analytics platform Replica , which is based on anonymized mobile device info, roadside sensors, transit agencies and more.

    Why it matters: These numbers offer a compelling snapshot of differing mobility trends and needs across the country.

    • They factor in all forms of transportation, including personal vehicles, public transportation, taxis/rideshares, walking, biking, etc.

    Zoom in: Franklin residents tend to travel a little farther than residents of Cuyahoga County in Cleveland, which had the state's lowest number of average daily miles traveled, at 31.5 per day.

    • Meanwhile, neighboring Fairfield County had the highest miles traveled of any Ohio county tracked by Replica, racking up 47.8 miles per day.

    Zoom out: Manhattan residents had the lowest number of average miles traveled in the country, with 12.9.

    • And Monroe County, Pennsylvania, had the highest, with an average of 70 miles traveled per day.
