Over 14 percent of all housing units in Chuuk had vehicles, and about 31 percent hadboat in 1994 and 2000 (Table 12.31). Most of the housing units with these housing units had had only one vehicle orboat. This distribution pattern was similar for the regions, though the levels differed. The high number of vehiclesreported in the Outer Islands should be considered with caution due to the possible inclusion of vehicles owned whichwere in Weno.Table 12.31.
