Description of the Indicator
This indicator measures the number and percentage of households with no vehicle available in the area.
Why is it important?
Estimates on the number of households without a vehicle are essential because they provide insights into transportation accessibility and mobility constraints in a region. The estimates can also be referenced to address transportation inequity.
How is the region performing?
Generally, all three counties have experienced steady decreases in the number of households without a vehicle, except for a small rise in Lackawanna County in 2023. Throughout the Commonwealth, the share of households without a vehicle has shrunk from 12.8 percent in 2000 to 10.5 percent in 2023.
