Transport & Vehicles in Dunlop
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Just 1.7% of homes in Dunlop lack a motor vehicle, a figure well below the national average. This makes the area highly car-dependent, though residents benefit from very quick access to local transit stops.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most households own multiple cars, with 47.2% having two vehicles and another 14.5% owning three. This high level of ownership is reflected in the fact that far fewer homes are without a car compared to the ACT and Australia.

Getting to work
