Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The two bar charts compare the difference in terms of preferable living places between people who were born in and out of Australia, from 1995 to 2010. Those places are cities, rural
areas
, and
towns
.
Overall
, both of the population majority lived in cities,
whereas
for rural
areas
, there was a changing trend from quite favourable in 1995 to least popular in 2010.
While
towns
faced a gradual decrease between 1995 and 2010.
To begin
with, cities have always been a popular place to stay, whether they were native or not, the percentage was around 50% and 60% respectively in 1995. The proportion grew continuously to about 65% for the native-born and 80% for foreign-born in the latest year.
In contrast
, the population was slowly leaving rural
areas
and
towns
within the period. Rural
areas
which first held up to 30% of the percentage for Australian natives and 40% for migrated people, were become about 18% and 10% in 2010. The condition was the same for
towns
, starting with 20% and around 15% for people who were born in and outside Australia consecutively, to become approximately 18% and 15% in 2010.
