Share of private households owning 1 car

Statbel, the Belgian statistical office, examines for the first time the possession of cars by Belgian households, determined on the basis of administrative sources. Previously, the number of Belgian households with or without one or more cars could only be estimated on the basis of surveys. To overcome this, Statbel has developed an experimental coupling that gives a more precise though still incomplete view of the number of cars owned by households. Four indicators are presented here, the share of private households without cars, the share of private households owning exactly one car, the share of private households with exactly two cars and the share of private households with three or more cars.
