Transport & Vehicles in Tinderbox
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Zero homes without a motor vehicle is the standout figure for Tinderbox, where car ownership is nearly universal. This reliance on private transport is clear in the way people get to work and the lack of local transit options.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most households have multiple cars, with 44.8% owning two and 21.6% owning four or more. This means the share of homes with no vehicle is well below both the state and national figures.

Getting to work
How people travel to work.
Driving is the primary way to get to work for 65.3% of residents. While 13.4% work from home—a figure well above the Tasmanian average—this is well below the national trend.

Public transport access
Stops, services, routes and how far you can get by public transport.
