column graph provides reveals the numbers in the percentage of households that owned and rented accommodation in England and Wales between 1918 and 2011.
It is evident that house number rented was at its peak in 1918, at approximately 78% high and then
gradually decreased to 1991 at around 32%. Afterwards, the figures keep still at 32%, 2001 and slightly bounced back to 37%, which stopped the failing trend.
