Transport & Vehicles in Wingecarribee
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Only 3.3% of Wingecarribee homes have no motor vehicle, a figure well below the national average. This reflects a heavy reliance on cars in a region where most households own multiple vehicles. While working from home has become much more common, the area remains largely dependent on private transport for daily travel.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Cars are essential here, with 39% of homes owning two vehicles and another 23.9% owning three or more. This explains why the number of car-free homes is much lower than in most other areas.
