It is clear that

there was an upward tendency in the number of households in owned accommodation,

while

the opposite was true for those in rented ones.

Besides

, the figures for both shared the same result in 1971. As can be seen, in 1918, houses which were rented were recorded to be at the top of the list with 78%.

However

, between 1939 and 1953, the sum of those remained unchanged at under 70% and

then

witnessed a sharp decrease to 50% in 1971. Over the next years, it kept dropping and reached a low of about 30% in 2001 before rising again to 35% in the

last

year of the observed period.

By contrast

, in the first year, the percentage of homes living in owned accommodation was the lowest with only over 20%.

Nevertheless

, it climbed to 31% in 1939 and stabilized until 1953. After that, the total of

this

proportion continued soaring significantly and peaked at 70% in 2001. Over the following decade, the portion of that fell modestly to 64%.
