Transport & Vehicles in Belmont
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Fewer people are without a car in Belmont than they were in 2011, yet the area remains very well connected. A short 13-minute drive to the city and an abundance of public transport options make it a highly accessible hub. Most residents rely on cars, but public transport use is among the highest for areas of this size.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
About 7.7% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is much higher than most areas. While this is slightly above the Western Australian figure of 5.0%, it has fallen 2.0 percentage points since 2011.
