How Many New Vehicles Were Registered In San Diego In 2016

Statistics on car-complimentary households and numbers of vehicles per household for cities.

Some cities and areas of the country are much more auto-dependent than others.

I way to appraise a city's reliance on cars is to compare shares of households without access to vehicles. An estimated 8.7 percent of U.S. households were without vehicles in 2016. Car-gratuitous households are generally much more than common in densely-populated urban areas and high poverty neighborhoods where residents can't afford vehicle ownership. Research also suggests younger families and one-person households are more probable to non own a car.

Some other useful measure out of vehicle ownership for cities is the number of vehicles per household. According to Census survey estimates, there were about one.8 vehicles available per U.S. household in 2016.

Both vehicle statistics are shown below for jurisdictions with populations exceeding 100,000:
