Transport & Vehicles in Leyburn
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every home in Leyburn owns a motor vehicle, making the area highly dependent on private transport. This reliance is clear as only 1.5% of households have no vehicle, a figure well below both the Queensland and national averages.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most homes have multiple cars, with 40.8% owning two and another 27.7% owning three or more. This high rate of ownership is reflected in the fact that very few households go without a vehicle.
