Vehicle Registration Counts by State

This page provides approximate light-duty vehicle registration counts derived by the National Laboratory of the Rockies with data from Experian Information Solutions. Counts are rounded to the closest 100 vehicles and reflect the total number of light-duty registered vehicles through the selected year. Fuel types are based on vehicle identification numbers (VINs), which do not reflect aftermarket conversions to use different fuels or power sources.

For a map comparing the density of light-duty vehicles per state and charts comparing registration counts over time, see TransAtlas.
