Ingleburn

Method of travel to work

On Census day 2016 in Ingleburn, 59.1% of people travelled to work in a private car, 25.5% took public transport and 2.2% rode a bike or walked. 2.3% worked at home.

Ingleburn's commuting statistics reveal the main modes of transport by which residents get to work. There are a number of reasons why people use different modes of transport to get to work including the availability of affordable and effective public transport options, the number of motor vehicles available within a household, and the distance travelled to work.

Commuting data is very useful in transport planning as it informs decision-makers about the availability, effectiveness and utilisation of local transport options, particularly when analysed with Residents Place of Work data and Car Ownership.

WARNING: Method of travel to work relates to Census day, which for the 2021 Census occurred during COVID-19 lockdowns for large parts of Australia. In lockdown, many occupations were required to work from home if possible, and some industries were closed, so people did not go to work. For this reason, these categories may have increased, with corresponding declines in other methods of travel. Use the data with caution when comparing over time. For more details, please refer to the data notes.

Derived from the Census question:

'How did the person get to work on Tuesday, 10 August 2021?'

Employed persons aged 15 years and over
