Transport & Vehicles in Westwood
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Every single home in Westwood has a motor vehicle, reflecting a total reliance on cars for daily life. This is far more common than across Tasmania and Australia, where a small percentage of households have no vehicle at all.

Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most households here own multiple cars, with 41.7% having two and 25% owning three. This high level of vehicle ownership is consistent with the fact that no home in the area is without a motor vehicle.
