The bar chart compares the number of visits to a community website in the first and second years of use.
Overall, visits were generally higher in the second year than in the first, with August being the only exception. Although February and March recorded the lowest figures in the first year, both experienced substantial growth in the second year. June and July recorded the highest figures of the second year.
In the first year, the number of visits to the community website was the largest in August, at 15,000. It then declined slightly to about 13,000. By comparison, June and July recorded significant growth, rising from about 12,000 in the first year to about 23,000 in the second year. Meanwhile, November and December showed similar patterns, rising substantially from 10,000 to about 16,000.
The remaining categories showed much lower figures in the first year, for example May stood at about 7,000 before edging up to 20,000 in the second year, while January rose from about 4,000 to about 16,000 in the second year. April stood at 5,000 and then increased to about 13,000.
