The line graph illustrates car ownership in Britain from 1951 to 2007. Overall, almost all figures, namely, people who owned one car, two cars and, three or more cars followed an upward trend. The reverse was true for no car ownership, despite being the most common option to at the beginning of the period.
As for increases, approximately 10% of individuals owned one car in 1951, however, this number rose significantly until 1967, accounting for around 45%. Notably, this proportion remained relatively unchanged by the end of the period, making up almost the same number.
Interestingly, the most popular choice throughout the period was owning no car, accounting for about 90% in the first year. Then, this number followed a downward trend and reached its lowest point at around 20% in 2007.
By contrast, only 1% of people owned two cars in 1951, however, the percentage for this figure grew steadily and reached its peak at roughly 30%. Similarly, three or more cars option had 0% of people’s choice between 1951 and 1967. Despite slight increases, it remained the lowest, never exceeding 10%.
