The level of motorization of population in Moscow is lower than in the country as a whole​

In Moscow there are 301 passenger cars per 1 thousand inhabitants. Such data are contained in the report "Structure and forecast of the passenger car fleet in Russia", prepared by the experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT". Meanwhile, in Russia as a whole the provision of passenger cars per 1 thousand inhabitants is 322 vehicles (as of January 1, 2024).
Thus, in the capital the level of motorization of the population is lower than in the country as a whole. Moreover, if we consider the five largest regional fleets, Moscow is inferior to all of them in terms of car availability. Thus, in the Moscow region there are 336 cars per 1 thousand inhabitants, in Krasnodar Territory - 345, in St. Petersburg - 321, and in the Sverdlovsk region - 330.
The lower degree of motorization in the Russian capital is largely due to the disproportion between the number of registered cars and the number of residents. In other words, in terms of population, Moscow is ahead of other constituent entities of the Russian Federation more than in terms of car fleet.
