You don't even know the answer yet, and already you don't like it!
Seriously, a demographic statistic is descriptive, not explanatory--as you of all people should remember. I don't think there's arealistic way to ask people if they're carfree voluntarily or were forced into it.
Hell, I don't even know that answer for myself. Obviously my income is high enough to own a car, as many of my co-workers making the same wages do. But I've been spending the car money on other things for so long that it would be a hardship if I was suddenly "forced" to buy a car.
BTW, why do you wonder how many people are "forced" to be carfree, but you don't ask how many are "forced by circumstances" to own a car?
