Transport & Vehicles in Bald Hills
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Zero homes without a car is a striking feature of Bald Hills, where almost every household relies on their own transport. This makes the area heavily car-dependent, as there are no public transport stops or routes available for residents.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes have multiple cars, with 32.5% owning four or more vehicles. This is why the proportion of homes with no motor vehicle is 0.0%, which is well below the Victorian figure of 7.6%.
