Transport & Vehicles in Dartmoor
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Car reliance remains the defining feature of travel in Dartmoor, where not a single home is without a motor vehicle. This absolute dependency on private transport is far more pronounced than across Victoria and Australia, making the car the primary way locals get around.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Every home in the area has at least one vehicle, which is well below the national figure of 7.4% for households without one. About 32% of homes have one car, while 12% own four or more.
Motor vehicles per home
