Transport & Vehicles in Claremont
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Claremont stands out among similar areas for its exceptional public transport connectivity. With a typical one-minute walk to the nearest stop and a very short 12-minute drive to the city, the area is built for easy movement. This ease of access is reflected in the high number of people using transit to get to work.
Vehicles

Most homes have one or two vehicles, with 42.1% owning one and 38% owning two. A small number of households (5.6%) have no motor vehicle, which is about the same as the state figure and down 2.0 points since 2011.
