# Transport & Vehicles — Other Urban

How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.

Area: Other Urban (Section of State)

Heavy reliance on cars shapes daily life in Other Urban, where 67% of workers drive themselves to their jobs. This dependence is reflected in the high number of vehicles per household, while very few people work from home.

Most homes have at least one car, and about 39% of households own two. Only 4.8% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is a little below the national figure of 7.4%.

Working from home is far less common here than across Australia, with only 4.3% doing so. Public transport use is also low at 1.8%, a figure that has fallen since 2011.
