Transport & Vehicles in Denmark
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every household in Denmark relies on a car to get around, with only 2.4% of homes having no motor vehicle. This heavy dependence on private transport is mirrored in the way people travel for work and the very limited public transport options available in the area.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes have at least two vehicles, with 41% owning exactly two and 14.4% owning three. The proportion of households without a car is much lower than in most areas and has fallen since 2011.
Motor vehicles per home
View on map →Denmark splits fairly evenly between 2 vehicles (41%) and 1 vehicle (36%), with 3 vehicles at 14%.
Getting to work
How people travel to work.
Driving is the main way to get to work, as only 0.8% of people use public transport. This is well below the Western Australian figure of 4.7%, though 15.6% of the workforce now works from home, an increase of 3 percentage points since 2011.

Stops, services, routes and how far you can get by public transport.
Public transport is very limited, with just one route and six stops serving the area. This results in only 11.1 weekly departures per 1,000 people, which is far below the state average of 1,623.
