Hanwood · Urban Centre
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Far fewer people live without a car in Hanwood (L) than in the rest of the country. Only 2.1% of homes lack a motor vehicle, and this figure has fallen by over 9 percentage points since 2011. This makes the area much more reliant on private transport than typical Australian suburbs.
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Most households own multiple cars, with 35.3% having two vehicles and 13.7% owning four or more. This high level of ownership is reflected in the fact that the share of homes without a car is well below the New South Wales figure of 9.2%.
