Transport & Vehicles in Enfield
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Two-thirds of workers in Enfield rely on driving as their main way to get to work. While most households own at least one car, 10.2% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is much higher than in most other areas. This is consistent with the area's relatively high use of public transport and its quick 10-minute drive to the city.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
About 10.2% of households have no motor vehicle, which is a little above the South Australian figure of 7.2%. For those who do own cars, 37.9% have one vehicle and 36.7% have two.
