Households without a Vehicle

Select a Census Tract
Measurement Period: 2018-2022
This indicator shows the percentage of households that do not have a vehicle.
 
Numerator = Total estimate of housing units without vehicle
Denominator = Total estimate of occupied housing units

Why is this important?

Vehicle ownership is directly related to the ability to travel. In general, people living in a household without a car make fewer than half the number of journeys compared to those with a car. This limits their access to essential local services such as supermarkets, post offices, doctors' offices, and hospitals. Most households with above-average incomes have a car while only half of low-income households do.
