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

Fewer households without a car and more people working from home have shaped the way residents of 500 or more get around since 2011. Most people here rely on private cars, with only 4.4% of homes lacking a motor vehicle. This reliance is clear in the daily commute, where nearly 66% of the workforce drive to work.
