Transport & Vehicles in Wattle Hill
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Almost every home in Wattle Hill owns a car, making it much more vehicle-dependent than the typical Tasmanian or Australian household. This reliance on cars is reflected in the fact that no one here uses public transport to get to work.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Private cars are essential here, as not a single home is without a motor vehicle. More than half of all households own three or more vehicles, which is well below the state and national figures for those without cars.
Motor vehicles per home
