A nationwide survey reveals a significant, untapped demand for car-free living among American car owners. Nearly one in five car-owning adults (17.6%) in urban and suburban areas express a definite interest in a car-free lifestyle, and an additional 40% are open to the possibility. This latent demand suggests that if supportive infrastructure and housing were available, the share of car-free households in the U.S. could rise to nearly 25%, a level comparable to several European nations.
