The article, based on a Pew Research Center survey and U.S. Census Bureau data, reveals that 10% of U.S. adults are nondrivers, with 6% not driving at all. Geographic factors, such as living in urban areas or the Northeast, and demographic groups like lower - income households, Black Americans, and younger adults under 30 are more likely to be nondrivers. Regarding workers, 78% usually drive to work, with 88% driving alone, while 4% use public transportation, 2% walk, and fewer than 1% bike. There are local differences, like in D.C. and New York state where fewer drive and more use public transit. Most U.S. households (92%) have at least one vehicle, but D.C. and New York state have high shares of households without a vehicle, while rural states like Idaho and Utah have low shares of car - less households.
