# Transport & Vehicles — Cook

How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.

Area: Cook (Council (LGA))

Much higher rates of households without cars than most similar areas define Cook, though overall vehicle ownership remains common. While most residents rely on private transport, a small but growing number use public options to get to work.

About 8.4% of homes here have no motor vehicle, which is a little above the Queensland figure of 5.8%. This is a drop from 11.9% in 2011, and most households now own at least one car, with 41.4% having one and 32.1% having two.

A little more than the national figure of 3.1% use public transport to get to work, and 15.1% walk. Conversely, only 9.2% work from home, which is far below the Australian rate of 21.0%.

Public transport is almost non-existent here, with zero stops and routes recorded. This is far below the Queensland average of 2.99 stops per 1,000 people.
