Seventeen Seventy · Urban Centre
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
A complete reliance on cars defines daily life in Seventeen Seventy, where every single home now has at least one motor vehicle. This total dependence on private transport is paired with a very high number of people who avoid a commute entirely by working from home.
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
Not a single home in the area is without a motor vehicle, a figure that has fallen 64 points since 2011. Most households own either one or two cars, which is well below the state and national rates for homes without a vehicle.
