The graph below gives information about car owership Britain from 1975 to 2005.
The given graph shows changes in the proportion of cars owned in the UK over the 30-year course from 1975 to 2005.
The initial impression from the graph is that the percentage of people having 2 or more than 3 cars showed upward trends,
whereas
the figure for those having no car generally decreased. The 1-car ownership rate, despite a marginal dip in the first ten years, still remained prevalent among the four ownership classifications.
In 1975, around 30% of all British households did not own any cars. The figure thereafter
decreased gradually to roughly 18% in 2005. An opposite pattern could be observed with regard to the 2 and 3 car ownership, with the figures increasing from 7% and 3% to 17% and 7% respectively.
The percentage of British households having only one car, meanwhile, stood at a very high level of approximately 42% in 1975. The figure, despite undergoing a dip of 4% in 1985, regained its upward streak and eventually reached a little over 40% in 2005.Submitted by adebimpeanimawun on
