Transport & Vehicles in Wyndham
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Only 3.7% of households in Wyndham have no motor vehicle, a figure well below both the Victorian and national averages. This high level of car ownership defines the area, though a quarter of the workforce now works from home. While most people rely on cars, the region has one of the largest networks of public transport stops for its size.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Cars are very common here, with 42.8% of homes owning two vehicles and 12% owning three. The proportion of homes without a vehicle is much lower than most areas and has fallen since 2011.
