Dunlop · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Transport & Vehicles in Dunlop
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every household in Dunlop owns a car, making the area heavily reliant on private vehicles for daily travel. Only 1.7% of homes have no motor vehicle, a figure well below the Australian Capital Territory average. While most people drive to work, the area has very quick walking access to local transit stops.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Private car ownership is very high, with 47.2% of homes owning two vehicles and 8% owning four or more. This means the number of homes without a vehicle is much lower than in most other areas.
