# Transport & Vehicles — Orange

How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.

Area: Orange (Statistical Area 2 (SA2))

A very high number of public transport stops serve Orange, yet few people actually use them for their daily travel. While most residents rely on cars, 9.1% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is a little above the national figure.

Most homes have one or two cars, and 9.1% have no vehicle at all. This lack of a car is much more common here than in most similar areas, though it has fallen since 2011.

Only 0.5% of people use public transport for work, which is much lower than most areas. Working from home rose to 9.7% by 2021, but this remains far below the New South Wales and national figures.

Orange has 180 public transport stops and 50 routes, placing it among the highest for its level and far above the state average. However, weekly departures per 1,000 people are far below the New South Wales figure.

Getting to a transit stop is very easy for residents, with a typical walk of only one minute, which is much lower than most areas.
