Transport & Vehicles in Kingston
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Nearly 60% of working residents in Kingston drive themselves to work, making the car the dominant way to get around. Most households own at least one vehicle, and very few people rely on public transport. This creates a transport landscape where private cars are essential for daily life.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Only 4.1% of homes lack a motor vehicle, which is well below the South Australian figure of 7.2%. Ownership is high, with 37.8% of households owning two vehicles and another 26.4% owning three or more.

Public transport access
