The chart below shows the percentages of households in owned and rented accommodation in England and Wales between 1918 and 2011. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, make comparisons where relevant.

The provided table presents data on the

proportion

of residents in England and Wales in their own and rented houses in 1918 and 2011. The data reveals a consistent growth in individual prosperity, which has led to an increase in the number of homeowners and a corresponding decrease in renters. In 1918, real estate accounted for slightly over two-tenths of the market, and

this

figure increased to 32% in 1939, where it remained for the following four years.

Nevertheless

, the statistics of the owners during the subsequent two calendar periods exhibited a notable increase, representing approximately half of the market in 1971.

Furthermore

, the upward trajectory persisted until 2001, reaching a peak of 68 per cent. Over the subsequent decade, the number of individuals in

this

category declined, with 62% of the population in 2011.

Conversely

, rented accommodation constituted a substantial

proportion

of the housing stock in 1918.

However

, their

proportion

declined in subsequent decades, reaching 68%, 58%, and 50% in 1953, 1961, and 1971, respectively.

Therefore

, if the same pace is maintained, the figures will ultimately stand at two-fifths in 1981 and reach one-third in 1991. Having experienced a notable decline to 31% in 2011, the

proportion

of rented properties increased considerably to 38% in 2011.
