The bar chart illustrates the proportion of
families
in owned and rented houses in two European countries over a period of 92 years (1918-2011).
Overall
,
it is clear that
there is an upward trend for people having their own houses,
while
families
renting accommodations generally decreased between 1918 and 2011.
In addition
, renting a
house
had become a more popular choice after 1971. In 1918,
families
who had their own
house
accounted for around 77% of the total population in England and Wales, and
then
declined to approximately 68% in 1939 and remained stable over the following 14 years. After that, the figure for
house
-owned
families
consistently dropped and reached its lowest point at just over 30% over the next 83-year period. By 2011, households having houses rose again to 35%. The figure for
families
in rented accommodation grew from roughly 22% in 1918 to just over 30% in 1939 and remained steady between 1939 and 1953. Over the following 48 years, the figure for households who rented accommodation dramatically increased to its peak at just under 70% and
then
fell back to 65% by 2011. In 1971, households in owned or rented accommodation constituted the same proportion (50%) of the total population in England and Wales. After that, the number of
families
who preferred renting a
house
exceeded
house
owners.
