Transport & Vehicles in Noranda
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Far fewer homes in Noranda are without a car compared to the national figure, with only 3.9% of households lacking a vehicle. This heavy reliance on cars is mirrored in the commute, where nearly 70% of workers drive themselves to work. While public transport is available, it remains a secondary choice for most residents.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes here own at least one car, with 40.7% having two vehicles. This explains why the 3.9% of homes with no motor vehicle is well below the Australian figure of 7.4%.
