Transport & Vehicles in Dunkley
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
A 21-minute walk to the nearest stop is much longer than in most areas, making Dunkley a place where residents rely heavily on their own cars. This dependence is clear as most homes own at least one vehicle and very few people use public transport for their daily commute.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most households have two cars, and only 5.4% of homes have no motor vehicle. This is a little below the national figure of 7.4%, and the proportion of car-less homes has fallen since 2011.
