The ability of the population to access services and employment is strongly influenced by access to transport. The number of motor vehicles per household in the City of Ipswich quantifies access to private transport for those speaking a language other than English at home.

The number of motor vehicles among the non-English speaking population may be influenced by a variety of factors, such as the Age Structure of that population, ability to drive and availability of other transport options (eg. public transport) in the area of residence.
