What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of households that do not have a vehicle.
Why this is important: 
Vehicle ownership is directly related to the ability to travel. In general, people living in a household without a car make fewer than half the number of journeys compared to those with a car. This limits their access to essential local services such as supermarkets, post offices, doctors' offices and hospitals. Most households with above-average incomes have a car while only half of low-income households do.
Technical Note:  The distribution is based on data from 3,143 U.S. counties and county equivalents.
