The graph presents information about the percentage of households in England and Wales from 1918 to 2011, categorized into two groups: households in owned accommodation and households in rented accommodation.
The most notable observation is that in 1918, households in owned accommodation were significantly fewer than those in rented accommodation. The percentage of rented households rose rapidly, reaching about 80 percent. However, despite this initial increase, it then declined to around 30 percent, with minimal growth thereafter.
In contrast, the percentage of households in owned accommodation experienced a gradual increase, ultimately reaching its peak at around 78 percent before declining slightly by 2011.
Another important point is that in 1971, both categories of accommodation were equal, each constituting 50 percent of the total households. Ultimately, by 2011, the percentage of households in owned accommodation was slightly higher than that of rented accommodation.
