The bar graph illustrates the use of various facilities (zoo, library, theatre, cinema) across groups of distinct heritage, living in Australia – Australian natives, immigrants from English-speaking countries, and new migrants for whom English is not the first language. Units are measured in percentages.
Overall, it is evident that the main place of choice is the cinema, while the smallest fraction of citizens goes to the theatre. Additionally, there is a noticeable difference between the leisure activities, engaged in by people from Australia and from non-English-speaking states.
The majority of the population has been going to the cinema; therefore, it accounts for 70% of non-migrants, around two-thirds of residents with English-speaking homelands and half of the newcomers with a different mother language. Nevertheless, the library comprised 55% of migrants from non-English-speaking nations, making it the most popular entertainment facility among them. In comparison, only around four out of ten people, born in Australia or English-speaking countries, go to libraries.
The zoo is mostly preferred by new immigrants from places, where English is a mainstream language; more precisely, 50% of them visit it. On the other hand, two-fifths of Australian natives and one-third of incomers from countries, where English isn’t widely spoken, go to the zoo.
Finally, theatres are the least frequented place. To illustrate, they are five times less visited by groups with non-English-speaking background than libraries and around three times less popular than cinemas with citizens, born in Australia and other English-speaking parts of the world.
