The graph below gives information about car ownership in Britain from 1971 to 2007.

The line graph depicts the proportions of households in British owning

One

Car

, No

Car

,

Two

Cars

, and

three

or more

cars

over a 36-year timescale from 1971 to 2007. It is noticeable that the percentages of households owning

two

cars

and

three

or more

cars

exhibited dramatic upward trends,

while

those of

families

with no

car

experienced reverse patterns during the surveyed period. Notably, the majority of

families

owning only

one

car

remained unchanged consistently throughout the duration of the survey. From the outset of 1971, the rate of

families

owning

three

or more

cars

was the lowest number, accounting for a mere 1%, which was almost 8% lower than that of

two

cars

.

Thereafter

, the figures for

two

cars

and

three

or more

cars

rose significantly, with around 26% and 7% respectively by the termination of the period. Commencing from 1971, approximately 50% of domestics owned no

car

, hitting the highest point in the initial year, compared to about 45% of the statistics for

families

with

one

car

. Notwithstanding, there was a plateau in the data of households owning

one

car

in 2007, remaining steady at nearly 43%, whilst a remarkable downward trajectory to roughly 25% was witnessed in the level of no

car

at the same time.
