Transport & Vehicles in Nerong
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every single home in Nerong has a motor vehicle, which is far more common than in the rest of the state. This heavy reliance on cars is clear, as no one here uses public transport to get to work.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Nearly half of all households own two cars, and 7.5% have four or more. This means that the proportion of homes without a vehicle is 0.0%, which is well below the national figure of 7.4%.
