    Zip code, income, race, age, social consciousness, climate consciousness…so many variables that are highly correlated to car ownership

      Well, income is controlled for, so it’s not that.

      I doubt any kind of consciousness has that degree of correlation. People that live in a situation that demands a car get a car, people with good alternatives get way fewer cars, mostly independently on how they thing. (My guess is that consciousness correlates much better to car model than to the car/no car choice.)
