Transport & Vehicles in Anglesea

How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.

Nearly half of all homes in Anglesea have two motor vehicles, making car ownership the dominant way people move around. While most residents rely on their own transport, 30.2% of the workforce now work from home, which is well above the national figure of 21%. This reliance on private cars is reflected in the long 108-minute drive time to the city.
