How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every home in Nashua owns a car, a figure well below the New South Wales and national averages. This heavy reliance on private vehicles is the main story here, as public transport use is non-existent despite some available infrastructure. Most residents depend on their own cars or work from home to get through the day.
