The bar chart illustrates the percentage of households with no car, 1 car, and 2 or more cars in a European country from 1971 to 2001.
The graph shows that the percentage of households without a car decreased significantly, while those with one car or more than one car both increased steadily over the period.
In 1971, households without a car made up the largest proportion, at 45%, but this figure declined sharply to about 30% in 1991 and fell slightly to around 25% by 2001. By contrast, the percentage of households with 1 car began at 35%, which was the second highest in 1971. This proportion rose steadily and reached its peak at around 45% in 1991. However, it dropped slightly to approximately 43% in 2001.
The percentage of households owning 2 or more cars was initially the smallest group, accounting for 15% in 1971. Over the years, this figure increased gradually, climbing to about 20% in 1981 and rising further to nearly 25% by 2001.
