Miami · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Transport & Vehicles in Miami
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
More than 1,200 weekly public transport departures per 1,000 people make Miami's transit frequency far above the Queensland figure. While the area has a high volume of services, most residents still rely on cars for their daily travel. The typical household now owns one or two vehicles.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
About 6.9% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is higher than most areas and a little above the Queensland figure. This is a decrease of 3.1 percentage points since 2011, with 40.7% of households now owning two vehicles.
