I find that a bit odd compared with the ranking of vehicles registered per 1000 residents. The number of vehicles registered will always be higher since it includes more than private passenger vehicles, but the difference between vehicle ownership and vehicle registration in Canada compared to the US seems off. The
wiki link shows in the US there are 910 registered vehicles per 1000 residents compared to the economist stat in yours stating the ownership rate of only 470 vehicles per 1000 residents. For Canada it's 560 vs 662. So in the US only 52% of registered vehicles are privately owned while 85% are privately owned in Canada? Unlikely.
Considering that Canada generally has higher transit mode share and the US has so many more low density auto-dependant areas, I don't believe it.
