Narangba · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Transport & Vehicles in Narangba
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every home in Narangba relies on a car to get around, with only 1.3% of households lacking a motor vehicle. This heavy dependence on driving is reflected in the long 39-minute commute to the city and limited public transport use. While working from home has grown significantly since 2011, the area remains very car-centric.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Car ownership is very high here, with 45.2% of homes owning two vehicles and 11.2% having four or more. The proportion of homes without a car is well below the national figure and has barely changed since 2011.
