How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every single household in postcode 2729 owns a car, making it much more vehicle-dependent than most similar areas. Only 1.8% of homes have no motor vehicle, a figure that has fallen since 2011. This reliance on private cars is reflected in the way people travel for work and the very limited public transport options available.
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes have multiple cars, with 33.6% owning two and 18.6% owning three. Only 1.8% of households are without a vehicle, which is well below the national figure of 7.4%.
