Transport & Vehicles in Ascot
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Only 1% of households lack a car in Ascot, a figure well below the Victorian and national averages. This high reliance on private vehicles is a key feature of the area, where most homes own multiple cars and very few residents work from home.
Vehicles

Cars are common here, with 46.6% of homes owning two vehicles and 10.9% having four or more. This explains why the 1% of homes without a motor vehicle is much lower than the 7.6% seen across Victoria.
