The given line chart illustrates three primary motivations of citizens in migrating from a specific capital city to rural areas over a 20-year period from 1990 to 2010.
At first glance, rising cost of living was the most popular cause for people to give up living in capital city. Moreover, increasing cost of living absolutely overcame other problems such as traffic and lifestyle in observed years.
A more detailed look revealed that the figure of living cost fluctuated consecutively throughout the whole period. In 1990, almost 65000 people considered living cost as their main problem for moving to the countryside. Consequently, this number increased significantly in 2000 and reached the peak at around 85000 people. Although there was a slight fall of 5000 over the 2000-2010 period, this figure was still leading at 80000 people.
On the other hand, both traffic and lifestyle figures witnessed a gradual increase in surveyed years. Initially, the two figures were equal at exactly 20000 people. However, traffic problems experienced a much sharper rise, particularly in the 2000-2010 stage when it leaped from 35000 people to just above 60000 people.
