Extract City from Address Returned by Google Maps

I have the following sensors which return the address among other attributes

# Travel time from Dist Location to Home
  - platform: google_travel_time
    name: Dist To Home
    api_key: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
    origin:  device_tracker.life360_mobile
    destination: zone.home

The above returns a string with the address in the attribute origin_addresses.
Now I am using the following sensor to extract the address, but I would like to extract only the Town/City, which is the string between commas, e.g. [‘8 Big Street, Valletta, Malta’] .
Is there a way to extract only the string Valletta instead of the whole string?

# Mobile Current Location
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      mobile_current_location:
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.dist_to_home.attributes.origin_addresses|default(0) }}'
        friendly_name: Mobile Current Location
        icon_template: mdi:crosshairs-gps

thanks in advance
