Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town.

Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families.

Woodbridge is a very car-oriented town. 97.9% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Woodbridge 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. Woodbridge has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.

As is often the case in a small town, Woodbridge doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
