Transport & Vehicles in Lawrence
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every home in Lawrence relies on a car, as only 2.2% of households have no motor vehicle. This high level of car ownership reflects a rural layout where public transport is scarce and working from home is far less common than in other areas.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes have more than one car, with 45.2% owning two vehicles. This explains why the 2.2% of homes without a vehicle is well below the New South Wales figure of 9.2%.
