The bar chart demonstrates the percentage of people having a car in a particular country from 1971 to 2001.
Overall, it is clear that the proportion of the population who owned a single car increased over the given period. In contrast, the portion of people who had no car experienced a gradual decline, while the figures for having two or more cars fluctuated during the whole period, reaching its peak at the end.
Looking at the data in more detail, the percentage of population having no car showed a steady decrease from being the leading figure at 48% in 1971, declining to just 28% in 2001. The figures for people who owned one car reflected the pattern of individuals having no car, albeit reaching from its lowest point 32% in 1971, to 44% in 2001 and becoming the dominant figure. Although, its highest point the figure reached in 1991, standing at 48%.
Finally, 20% of people owned two or more cars in 1971, then this figure rose by 5% and dropped to 21% in the next two decades. In 2001, it reached its peak of 28%, catching up with the portion of people having no car.
