Transport & Vehicles in Gordon
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Not a single home in Gordon lacks a motor vehicle, a stark contrast to the 7.4% of Australian households without one. This creates a community almost entirely reliant on cars for getting around. While most people drive, working from home has become much more common since 2011.
Vehicles

Almost every home has at least one car, with 46.3% owning two and 11.3% owning four or more. This means the share of homes without a vehicle is well below the Victorian figure of 7.6%.
