TRAVEL BY CARLESS HOUSEHOLDS

This article provides statistics on zero-vehicle households (0-VHH) in the U.S. The typical 0-VHH has no one in the labor force (neither employed nor searching for work), has a lower than average income, and is located in the central part of a large urban area. Most 0-VHHs are in central cities of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Of adults living in 0-VHHs, 52.9 percent are in central cities, with the remainder about evenly split between suburbs and nonMSA locations. This article looks at the following topics about 0-VHHs -- Who are they? Where are they? How do they travel? Mobility: How Much do They Travel? Demographic effects on travel, Travel Behavior of Older Persons, and Immigration and Vehicle Ownership.
