The graph below gives information about car ownership in Britain from 1971 to 2007.

The line chart illustrates how the number of

cars

per household changed in Britain between 1971 and 2007. 

Overall

, we can see that

car

ownership increased significantly over the period taken into consideration.

In particular

, the percentage of

households

with two

cars

experienced the biggest growth,

while

the figure for

households

without a

car

fell.  In 1971, almost half of all British citizens did not have regular use of a

car

.

However

, 44% of

households

had at least one

car

,

while

only 7% had two

cars

.

Instead

, it was not common to own more than three

cars

per family, in fact, the percentage was just around 2%.  The one-

car

households

remained the most common type until 2007,

although

there were little changes in

this

figure during the period. The biggest change was seen in family blocks without a

car

, which declined steadily over the 36-year period to around 25% in 2007.

In contrast

, the proportion of two-

car

families increased gradually, and by 2007 it had reached 26%,

whereas

, for

households

with more than two

cars

, the figure remained stable by around 5%.
