Transport & Vehicles in Narrogin
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
A massive gap in public transport access separates Narrogin from the rest of Western Australia. Very few people use transit to get to work, and the area has far fewer stops and services than the state average. This makes the car the primary way for residents to move around.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes here have at least one car, with 36.3% having one and 33.3% having two. About 6.4% of households have no motor vehicle, which is a little above the Western Australian figure of 5.0%.
