Transport & Vehicles in Moreland
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Working from home has surged in Moreland, with the number of people doing so rising 33 percentage points since 2011. This shift is part of a broader trend where residents are less reliant on cars than those in most other areas. The area's transport landscape is defined by high public transport access and a significant number of car-free households.

About 13.1% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is well above the national figure of 7.4%. While this is much higher than most areas, the share of car-free households actually fell 2.0 percentage points since 2011.
