How to use the local evidence

Workers commuting by car, truck or van — Roanoke

1,964 of 2,138 in the relevant ACS survey universe (91.9%). Among 28 source-qualified place communities in Alabama with at least 20,000 residents, the median share is 87.2%. The Roanoke estimate differs by 4.6 percentage points above that median. This is an unweighted comparison of community estimates, not the statewide population share or a statistically tested difference. Source: 2024 ACS five-year estimates for Roanoke city, Alabama. For your repair plan, note whether another household vehicle is actually available during a claim. Compare a deductible you could fund with rental-transport limits and your actual commute; the survey does not measure crashes or driving miles.

Households with no vehicle available — Roanoke

231 of 2,344 in the relevant ACS survey universe (9.9%). Among 28 source-qualified place communities in Alabama with at least 20,000 residents, the median share is 4.9%. The Roanoke estimate differs by 5.0 percentage points above that median. This is an unweighted comparison of community estimates, not the statewide population share or a statistically tested difference. Source: 2024 ACS five-year estimates for Roanoke city, Alabama. A household without a vehicle may use transit, rentals or borrowed cars, and may not need auto insurance at all. If you do drive, list the owner and regular availability of each vehicle. Household access can matter more to a provider’s eligibility questions than the population percentage.

1,355 of 2,344 in the relevant ACS survey universe (57.8%). Among 28 source-qualified place communities in Alabama with at least 20,000 residents, the median share is 59.2%.

Use a separate line for every vehicle’s owner, regular driver, garaging address, limits and deductible. Compare equivalent combined and separate proposals. This household count neither identifies insured vehicles nor proves that a multi-car discount is available.
