Europe total 426,542,483 0.452 192,917,947

What the data says…

Nice bell shaped curveFrance, Belgium, Italy, and Germany all have very high location quotientsLuxembourg has very high ratio of cars per person, mainly due to economy and European car manufacturers.Romania is another interesting country in this aspect.
