Transport & Vehicles in Kingsdale
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
A 128-minute drive to the city defines the remote nature of Kingsdale, where car ownership is nearly universal. While the area has a high number of transport stops per person, the long distances and lack of public transport use make the car essential for daily life.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Every single home in Kingsdale has at least one motor vehicle, which is well below the New South Wales and national figures for carless households. Most families have multiple cars, with 23.4% of homes owning four or more vehicles.
