The bar graph illustrates the proportion of British people living alone in both genders and across five different age groups in 2004/2005.
Overall, it is evident from the graph that males aged 16-24, 25-44, and 45-64 took up the higher percentages than that of females. By contrast, females outperformed males in old demographics, particularly 65 and over.
Regarding the age groups where more males lived alone, nearly 5% of men in the 16-24 demographic were accounted for while that figure for females was slightly lower, at a modest 3%. Similarly, the gender gap was negligible in the 45-64 age group with 16% for men and 15% for women. In terms of people aged 25 to 44, the percentage of males recorded living alone was 15%, which doubled that of females (about 7%).
Concerning the remaining demographics, while over 30% of females in the 65-74 age group was reported staying at home alone in Great Britain, that figure for males substituted for about 16%. Moreover, the females who aged 75 and over dominated the percentage of people living alone (nearly 60%), which was 30% higher than the male counterparts.
