How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Transport habits have stayed remarkably steady in postcode 6275 since 2011. Most households rely heavily on their own cars, and the same proportion of people are working from home as they were a decade ago. The area remains very dependent on private vehicles due to a significant lack of public transit options.
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Cars are essential here, with 42.6% of homes owning two vehicles and 25.6% having three or more. Only 4.5% of households have no motor vehicle, a figure that has barely changed since 2011.
