Kitchener · Urban Centre
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Zero homes without a motor vehicle is a striking feature of Kitchener (L), where car ownership is nearly universal. This makes the area highly dependent on private transport for daily travel and work.
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Every home in the area has at least one vehicle, which is well below the New South Wales rate of 9.2% for homes without one. Most households own two vehicles (44.5%), while 16.8% have four or more.
