Workers commuting by car, truck or van — Valdez

1,711 of 2,028 in the relevant ACS survey universe (84.4%). Source: 2024 ACS five-year estimates for Valdez city, Alaska. 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 — Valdez

75 of 1,672 in the relevant ACS survey universe (4.5%). Source: 2024 ACS five-year estimates for Valdez city, Alaska. 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.

Households with two or more vehicles available — Valdez

1,075 of 1,672 in the relevant ACS survey universe (64.3%). Source: 2024 ACS five-year estimates for Valdez city, Alaska.
