The US tends to be a lot more spread out than Europe and the rest of the world. It seems like we’re also more likely to move long distances for jobs and the like.
I’m pretty close to most family, 10 to 40 minute drives for everyone that doesn’t live out of state
We’re 10-12 hours away from family (10hrs is a pipe dream because that’s only possible if we never stop). We end up splitting the drive over two days.
