Transport & Vehicles in Belhus
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every single home in Belhus has a motor vehicle, making it far more car-dependent than the state and national averages. While local transport options exist, the area is heavily reliant on private cars for daily travel. This shift is seen in the high number of households owning three or more vehicles.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
