Transport & Vehicles in Gilmore
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Only 1.3% of homes in Gilmore have no motor vehicle, which is well below the national figure of 7.4%. This heavy reliance on cars is a defining feature of the area's transport landscape. Most households own multiple vehicles, which helps explain why so few people use public transport to get to work.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Car ownership is very high here, with 42.3% of homes owning two vehicles and 10.9% having four or more. The proportion of homes without a car has fallen to just 1.3%, a figure far lower than the 5.6% seen across the ACT.
