Transport & Vehicles in Broadmeadows (Northern Metropolitan)
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Much higher rates of public transport use and vehicle-free living set Broadmeadows apart from most similar areas. While many residents rely on cars, there is a significant proportion of homes without a vehicle and a strong network of transit options. This creates a transport landscape that is more varied than the state average.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Almost 10% of Broadmeadows homes have no motor vehicle, which is much higher than most areas. This is a little above the Victorian figure of 7.6%, and the proportion has barely changed since 2016.
