Batesford · Urban Centre
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Car ownership is essential for daily life in Batesford (L), where every single home has at least one motor vehicle. Most households are heavily reliant on cars for transport, and this dependency is reflected in the very low use of public transport for commuting.
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Almost half of all homes have two cars, and nearly a quarter have four or more. This means far fewer households are without a vehicle compared to the Victorian average, a trend that has remained steady since 2011.
