The bar chart illustrates the proportion of home owners and renters who belong to the 25-34 age group in the UK, starting from 2004 and ending in 2014.
Overall, while there was an upward trend in the percentage of house renters, a reverse pattern could be observed in the figure for those who possess houses. It is also clear that owning a house was the more popular choice over the majority of the period.
In 2004, the rate of individuals who had their own houses reached its peak at 60%, of which the data on home renters accounted for one third, at 20%. Additionally, the figure for leaseholders fluctuated in the next four years and started to fell dramatically from about 55% in 2008, whereas the percentage of house renters significantly climbed to roughly 45% in 2013, which outperformed the statistics for home owners.
In 2014, the rate of home renters was the superior figure, making up approximately 50%, while the data on house holders was substantially lower, at 35%.
