Transport & Vehicles in Eden
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
About 67% of workers in Eden drive themselves to work, making the car the dominant way to get around. This reliance on vehicles is reflected in the low use of public transport and the fact that very few people work from home.
Vehicles

Most homes have at least one car, with 40.6% having one and 36.5% having two. Only 7.9% of households have no motor vehicle, which is a little below the New South Wales figure and has fallen since 2011.
