Goulburn · Urban Area
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Fewer homes without cars and a rise in remote work have shaped how Goulburn moves since 2011. Most residents rely heavily on their own vehicles to get around, with very few using public transport to reach their jobs.
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
About 7.6% of homes have no motor vehicle, which is much higher than most areas. This is a drop from 10.7% in 2011, and most households now own one or two cars.
