The bar chart illustrates the proportion of families who had cars in a European nation from 1971 to 2001.
Overall, the number of family units who did not have any cars increased. By contrast, 1 car and 2 or more cars fluctuated.
In the first decade( from 1971 to 1981) the domestics who did not have any cars slightly decreased about 7 percent while 2 or more cars quickly rose from nearly 16 to 27 percent. The family owned 1 car accounted for 3/4 compared to no car. However it dropped slightly by roughly 3 percent, shorter than the number of 1 car-owning families in 1971.
Between 1981 and 1991, families who owned 1 car saw a rapid growth from 32 percent to 42 percent in ten years while no car declined quickly about 12 percent and continued to drop a little in 2001 only 3 percent. In 1991 to 2001, the domestics had 2 cars or more, which increased about 1/4 and balanced with no cars in the same year.
