How many people in the US are without a car?

Answer 1

That's not a question that can be answered accurately. States register vehicles which is the only way to actually keep track. But some people don't properly license a vehicle for any number of reasons, yet they drive it. People move from one state to another and DMV records are never current, therefore the same vehicle could show a registration in two states. You also need to consider that one family can own several vehicles as opposed to a family that owns only one or none. A couple of years ago the DOT made an "educated guess" at about 192 million vehicles in the U.S., compare that to the approximate population count of 293+ million made up of adults and children plus an unsubstantiated number of illegal aliens likewise adults and children.
