The graph gives information on households with a regular use of a car in Great Britain from 1971 to 2007
The line graph illustrates the percentage of British families with their regular use of a
car
between 1971 and 2007.
Overall
, it is clear that
the number of households who have more than one car
had a significant increase over the period shown. In comparison, the proportion of people with no car
dropped dramatically while
the number of those with one car
remained steady over 46 years.
As can be seen, in 1971 there was a small minority who had three or more cars
. However
, in 2007 it began to increase gradually to nearly 6%. Likewise
, people who used two cars
were almost 8% in 1971 then
they increased enormously to about 26% in 2007.
On the other hand
, there were around 49% of households with no car
in 1971. After that, they saw a sharp decline until they reached 25% in 2007. Nevertheless
, the proportion of using cars
registered mild fluctuations in the first decades then
it stayed constant. It is interesting to notice that, the number of families who had no car
and others who had two cars
was the same in 2003.Submitted by yusrakalamre on
