Labrador · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Transport & Vehicles in Labrador
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
More than nine out of every 100 homes in Labrador have no motor vehicle, a figure well above the Queensland average. This means a significant portion of the population relies on other ways to get around, even though the area is mostly car-dependent for work.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
About 9.1% of homes here have no motor vehicle, which is much higher than in most similar areas. This figure has fallen by 2.6 percentage points since 2011, while the majority of households now own one or two cars.
