Reid · Statistical Area 2 (SA2)
Transport & Vehicles in Reid
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Nearly 20% of households in Reid have no motor vehicle, a figure far above the 5.6% seen across the Australian Capital Territory. This reliance on alternatives is supported by a very high density of public transport options and an exceptionally short drive to the city. The area is largely car-free compared to national norms.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Almost one in five homes have no motor vehicle, which is among the highest rates for similar areas. While this fell 3.5 percentage points since 2016, it remains far above the national figure of 7.4%.
