    Proud to live in the absolute lowest car-owning city. And I’m honestly surprised that it’s almost half! So few people who I know own cars. But there are big outer areas that are basically suburbs and I assume the ownership is higher there.

    luv how high car ownership is in green while low car ownership is in red, implying that car ownership is an inherently good thing

    This doesn't seem to discriminate between people who choose not to own a car and people who can't afford to own a car.

    I live in a relatively small city in Europe and have not even wished I had a car the past 5 years. Trams, buses and trains take me to where I need to be. For everyday grocery shopping I can just walk 15 min.

    This isn't surprising if you've ever been to these cities. It is almost impossible to exist without a car in the green areas, and it's almost impossible to exist with a car in the purple cities..

      Many many more cities could be green, but aren't because people too poor to have a car live there. The green cities are not unique at all in there car needs only in their lack of poverty.

    Murrietta is not in the center of California. The number one in southern California is Murrietta. The number 1 in the center of the state is Fresno or Merced or something

    IE cities being in the top 25 is unsurprising but Murietta being #1 is wild. Totally makes sense tho if anyone has been in that area

    The city with the third highest percent of car ownership taking home less household income than the city with the lowest percent of car ownership is a surprise.

    Buffalo is so much fun. Plus, their public transport is crappy, and Amtrak service is not as good as it should be.
