Lake Hamilton is a very car-oriented town. 100% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Lake Hamilton is a small town, and most people who live here have to drive out of town for work, and the town population is not large nor dense enough to support an extensive public transportation system.
