It typically includes options such as 'no cars or vans,' 'one car or van,' 'two cars or vans,' and so on. This table provides insights into household transportation resources, indicating car ownership levels within a given population. It helps to understand mobility patterns, access to transportation, and potential reliance on private vehicles for daily activities.
Cars per Household Crunch
The Census shows that 56.1% of households in ST4 8FL do not have a vehicle (car or van), whether it is owned, leased, or rented. This compares to 23.5 percent of homes across England and Wales that do not have vehicles.
A higher percentage of car-free households often reflects an urban area with good public transport, making car ownership less necessary. It can also indicate lower-income levels, where residents may not afford vehicles, or areas with limited parking. Student populations, young professionals, and elderly residents in ST4 8FL are more likely to rely on public transport, cycling, or walking, leading to fewer cars compared to the national average.
