Makes sense, if you live in an apartment, where do you charge your car?
More density also equals better public transport and walkability, so easier to go car free or car light.
Interesting, does that lead to a significant less uptake to personal vehicles all up for inner suburbs then?
All I could find is this map: https://www.microburbs.com.au/heat-map/cars-per-household#151.21574744788342:-33.84319955763839:13 but I'm not sure where the data is sourced from. It does show lower car ownership in more central areas of Sydney.
And this, but it only splits by "greater metropolitan" type areas, which would obviously include outer suburbs: https://profile.id.com.au/australia/car-ownership?WebID=260
It does show there is slightly lower motor vehicle ownership in cities broadly, and I'd anecdotally expect that to be lower within inner suburbs.
And for Brisbane: https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/where-in-brisbane-do-people-own-the-most-cars-search-for-your-suburb-20230712-p5dnou.html
indicates higher car ownership as you go further from the CBD, although it only compares 3 or more cars vs less than 3.
EDIT: Oh and this quote from the Brisbane Times article:
