The provided line graph illustrates the percentage of residents in Australia who were born in different places around the world from 1976 to 2011. There are four groups, namely total, UK, other, and Asia. The unit represented in the chart is a percentage.
From a general perspective, the proportions of total, other, and Asia were increasing, while that of the UK was declining over the course of 35 years starting from 1976. The UK rate was the lowest figure among the 4 categories, while the total was contrary in 2011.
Looking at the line graph, there was a slight increase in the percentage of total and other. In 1976, the proportion of total was the highest at approximately 24%, whereas the other rate was 13% lower than that of the total. The total of Australia’s residents was decreasing by 4% from 1976 to 2001, and then went back up to 25%, which was the highest figure in 2011. Between 1976 and 1991, the proportion of people born in other areas was falling by 4%, and in the next 15 years, it was increasing sharply by 10%. In 2011, the figure for other was almost half of the total rate.
In contrast to the falling of the UK, the percentage of Asia was significantly increasing over the 35 years. In 1976, the Asia rate was the lowest figure among the 4 categories, but from 1976 to 2011, it went up dramatically and increased by 13%. On the other hand, the proportion of the UK was declining significantly by approximately 10% and stood the lowest in 2011. In 2011, the Asia rate was 10% higher than that of the UK.
