Transport & Vehicles in Roseworthy
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Not a single home in Roseworthy lacks a motor vehicle, making it a place where cars are essential. This total reliance on private transport is reflected in the way people get to work and the limited reach of local public transit.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Car ownership is very high, with 30.2% of homes having four or more vehicles. This is well below the state and national figures for homes without a car, which both sit around 7%.
