Average number of cars per household is rising

Transcript: The average number of cars per household is rising across the UK. 2003: Avg. of 1.30 cars per household = 374,400 cars in Oxfordshire. 2022: Avg. of 1.42 cars per household = 408,960 cars in Oxfordshire. That’s a difference of 34,560 cars! 2030: Avg. of 1.47 cars per household = 423,360 cars in Oxfordshire. That means that even if Oxfordshire’s population doesn’t grow, we’ll be adding another 14,400 cars by 2030! As the number of cars on the road grows, we need a plan. Traffic filters are the next step in Oxfordshire’s plan. *Estimates based on 2021 Census data for Oxfordshire found at https://insight.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/households
