Transport & Vehicles in Ambergate
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Car ownership is the dominant way of getting around in Ambergate, where every single home has at least one motor vehicle. This reliance on private transport is reflected in the lack of local public transit options and a commute almost entirely based on driving.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Every home in the area has a vehicle, which is well below the state and national figures for households without a car. Most residents own multiple vehicles, with 38.3% having two and nearly 30% having three.
