The chart below shows the percentage of households owned and rented accommodation in England and Wales between 1918 and 2011.

The chart illustrates the number of

people

who owned and rented

houses

for living in England and Wales from 1918 to 2011. It is clearly observed from the chart that over the period,

people

were willing to purchase

houses

and these demands and capabilities were equal in 1971. In 1918, the figure of the public in owned accommodations was up to 20%,

whereas

that in rented places was under 80% which was the highest proportion of living in rented

houses

over the years. The proportion of

people

with owned

houses

rose minimally,

in contrast

, that of rented

houses

had a gradual decrease. In 1971, these figures were as much as each other. From 1971 onwards, the patterns were the same and in 2001 the percentage of

people

who lived in their own places was just under 70%, whilst the figure for the households renting accommodations was approximately 32%.

This

trend had a margin changer over the next decade, as in 2011, the figure for the population in their owning places decreased to about 65%, in ,contrast the percentage of households renting

houses

grew to 38%.
