Transport & Vehicles in Tunbridge
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Every single household in Tunbridge owns a motor vehicle, making private cars essential for daily life. This high level of car ownership is much higher than the state and national figures, reflecting a place where residents rely almost entirely on their own transport to get around.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Half of all homes have two vehicles, and 20% own three. No home in the area is without a car, which is well below the 6.1% of Tasmanian homes that have no vehicle.
