The diagram illustrates the proportions of leased properties in three different countries, namely A, B, and C, over the 20-year period from 2000 to 2020.
Overall, it is clear that countries A and B experienced fluctuating trends in the percentage of rental accommodation, whereas country C remained relatively stable throughout the period.
To begin with, the proportion of rental units in country A stood at approximately 35% in 2000. Over the following five years, this figure rose sharply to around 60%, making it the highest among the three countries at that time. This was followed by a gradual decline to about 40% over the next decade. However, in the final years of the period, the share of rental properties in country A increased steadily, reaching nearly 49% by 2020.
Turning to country B, a similar pattern can be observed. In 2000, it recorded the lowest proportion, at roughly 20%. This figure then increased significantly, reaching around 40%, and remained stable at this level for approximately 15 years. After that, there was a moderate rise to about 50% by 2020, which was higher than the final figure for country A.
By contrast, the proportion of rental properties in country C showed minimal variation overall. Although there was a noticeable drop from around 25% to 20% in 2005, this was followed by a steady increase to approximately 30%. The figure then levelled off, remaining unchanged for the rest of the period.
