Transportation Indicators

There are limited public transportation options available to residents of the St. Croix River Valley counties, so access to a vehicle is important for anyone needing to get a job, seeking medical attention, shopping for groceries, or any of the other activities that fill our days.  Census data indicate that in the United States as a whole 11.8% of households with people 65 and older said they did not have access to a vehicle [1].  Minnesota, Wisconsin, and their St. Croix River Valley counties have somewhat smaller proportions of their senior households without vehicles.

The percentage of counties in St. Croix Valley households with senior citizens age 65+ who do not have a personal vehicle is equal to or lower than their state averages.
