The graph provides information about car ownership in Britain over the course of 36 years from 1971 to 2007.
Overall, it is noticeable that the percentages of people who did not have a car decreased significantly throughout, while the percentage of people with two cars experienced a marked increase, with surpassing former in 2003. Notably, the decrease in the percentage of people without a car allowed the proportion of those with one car to surpass them and become the largest group. Additionally, despite a gradual rise in the share of people with three or more cars, they accounted for the least share over the given period.
Starting at almost 50% as the largest group, the share of people without a car halved, falling to 27% in 2007. Conversely, the opposite trend was observed for people with two cars. Their percentage underwent a staggering growth from just under 10% to approximately 25%. Due to this increase, the proportion of people with two cars overtook those without a car in 2003, reaching around 25%.
The proportion of people who owned one car experienced minor fluctuations around 45%, remaining the dominant group during the 1980s. Lastly, the share of people with three or more cars increased steadily to 7%. Despite this growth, they remained as the smallest group.
