The double infographics provide a breakdown of data upon residents’ automobile-related behaviour, encompassing car-changing frequency and purchasing habit, in a specific European nation in 2009.
According to the statistics, it is evident that a vast majority of the respondents tended to change their cars at least every 3 years. Notably, it was second-hand automobiles which served as the most-favoured option for a sizable portion of the respondents.
At the outset, concerning car-changing frequency, there were roughly 52% of the residents reneweding their collection every 5 years or more, outnumbering the proportion of those doing so on a 3-to-4-year basis by approximately 15%. Trailing behind was the statistics of once-every-two-year substitution, standing at merely 5%, while that of consistent utilization and annual change registered relatively trivial rates. Meanwhile, there was still a minimal portion of those who were not owning an automobile at the time of the survey.
Moving on to the purchasing habit, second-hand cars dominated the chart, with as high as four-fifths of the citizens gravitating towards cars of such kind. This proportion nearly quadrupled that of those purchasing brand-new ones, at around a quarter. In another development, around one-tenth of the citizens adopted a flexible purchasing habit for the two types, while the rate of those possessing no car remained marginal.
