I am not sure what your question is, but I will try to answer it.
The Question in the ACS reads: “How many automobiles, vans and trucks of one-ton capacity
or less are kept at home for use by members of this household?” The answer can be
0-1-2-3-4-5, or 6+
There are MANY tables in the CTPP which include this variable, but if you are interested
in the AGGREGATE number of vehicles in households, you can use B111103 “Aggregate vehicles
in households”. Since it is a B Table, which uses the privacy protected ACS
microdataset, there are possibly problems because the weights are adjusted for workers and
not households. So, you MIGHT prefer to use a Set A Table instead, such as A111102 which
is a univariable distribution of Vehicles Available.

Subject: [CTPP] No. of vehicles physically located in households.
Hello everyone,
I was locking through CTPP 2006-2010 tables and was wondering which would be the best
table to be used to calculate the number of vehicles (autos) physically located in
households. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,
