The bar chart illustrates the percentage of car ownership among households in a European country from 1971 to 2001, showing trends for households with no car, one car, and two cars.
Overall, the percentage of households with no car was the highest in 1971 but steadily declined over the period. In contrast, households with one car saw a consistent upward trend, while those with two cars, though initially lower, surpassed households with no car by the end of the period.
In 1971, approximately 49% of households owned no car, while 35% owned one car, and only 18% owned two cars. By 1981, the percentage of households with no car had decreased by 7% to around 42%, while those with one car also saw a slight decline to 32%. However, households with two cars saw an increase to 29%.
By 1991, households with no car continued to decline, reaching around 30%, while one-car households rose to 45%. By the end of the period, in 2001, households with two cars had surpassed those with no car, reaching 31%, while the percentage of households with one car grew significantly to 42%.
In summary, the trend shows a decline in car-less households, while single and two-car households increased, with two-car households eventually exceeding those without a vehicle.
