The two given bar charts compare data regarding the proportion of native Australians and immigrants residing in three areas during a 60-year period from 1950 to 2010.
Overall, what stands out from both graphs is that urban areas were by far the most favorable place of living among the whole population, which saw a significant rise over the given years while towns and countryside areas saw a decline in residents. Another interesting point is that a higher proportion of immigrants than native Australians were urban inhabitants.
Regarding cities, in 1950, roughly 50% native Australians as compared to 60% of immigrants were living in these places, which then increased significantly. The former experienced a slight growth to just over 60% while the latter recorded a 20% jump to 80% in 2010. .
Turning to towns and countryside, in 1950, more people lived in countryside than in towns in both groups at approximately 30% and 40% as opposed to 20% and 10%. However, sixty years later, the figures for native Australians living in both areas were equal at under 20% while the figures for immigrants dropped considerably to under 10%.
