Transport & Vehicles in Indigo
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every home in Indigo owns a car, making private vehicles essential for daily life. Only 2.7% of households have no motor vehicle, a figure well below the national average of 7.4%. This heavy reliance on cars is reflected in how people get to work and the limited local public transport options.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes have multiple cars, with 40.5% owning two vehicles and 17.4% owning three. The share of homes without a car has fallen since 2011, and at 2.7%, it is now much lower than in most other areas.
