How many cars are in Iowa?

I’m writing a paper for my driver’s ed class. The basic idea is to write about traffic, cars, and driving laws throughout Iowa. While I’ve found most of the information on my own, I can’t seem to find stats on the number of cars in the state. How many cars are there in Iowa?

Since you’re enrolled in driver’s ed, you’re probably super close to getting your license—so congratulations!
There are 3.8 million cars in
Iowa
, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. This figure represents a 4.1% increase in car registrations from 2015 to 2020, which is sizable considering the population has only increased 4% in the past 10 years.
If you want an interesting tidbit for your paper, Iowa ranks as the No. 1 safest state in the country for drivers thanks to the low traffic congestion and excellent infrastructure.
Once you get your license, don’t forget that you’ll need car insurance to legally hit the road. Insurance for young drivers is notoriously expensive, so be sure to get quotes from several insurers to find the best price. The
