Alfredton · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Transport & Vehicles in Alfredton
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Very few people in Alfredton get around without a car, making it a high-vehicle area compared to similar places. Only 2.7% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is well below the Victorian and national figures. This heavy reliance on cars is mirrored by very low public transport use and a long commute to the city.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most households own multiple cars, with 44.6% having two vehicles and 14% having three. The proportion of homes without a car has remained low and barely changed since 2011.
