Transport & Vehicles in Vincent
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Over 3,400 weekly public transport departures per 1,000 people make Vincent one of the best-connected areas in the region. This high level of service supports a community where many residents avoid owning a car. It is a highly accessible hub where most people are only a few minutes from the city or a transit stop.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Nearly 1 in 10 homes have no motor vehicle, which is much higher than most areas and well above the Western Australian figure of 5.0%. While this rate fell 2.8 percentage points since 2011, 9.5% of households still do not own a car.
