Im kind of shocked at some of the cities in the low vehicle ownership. Like for NYC I'm surprised it's still as high as it is, and then other NY cities Im surprised managed to make the cut at all. Like buffalo syracuse and rochester do not have good public transit. Buses exist and Buffalo even has a single subway line that goes down mainstreet to downtown, but hot damn is it not a very reliable way to get around.

This is more a testament to poverty in those areas than anything else.

The most car household list is basically a not-poor list as well. They're all not poor exurbs.
