What the numbers say

  • 옹진군, South Korea leads at 4,982 cars/1000 residents.
  • 담양군, South Korea sits at the other end with 705.4 cars/1000 residents.
  • The middle of this ranking is 765.8 cars/1000 residents, across 30 places that publish the metric.
  • The spread between first and last is 4,276 cars/1000 residents.

What this measures

Every row is a published cars per 1,000 residents observation measured in cars/1000 residents, ranked highest first. The values were observed in 2024. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
