The given bar chart compares the proportion of residents living in cities, towns, and rural areas between two types of people who were born inside and outside Australia in 1950 and 2010.
Overall, it can be observed that urban residents always led in the total data for both years. Remarkably, there was a decrease in the rate of rural residents after 60 years.
Looking at the people who were born inside Australia, it is clear that there was a slight increase in the rate of those residents living in cities, from around 50% to over 60%, from 1950 to 2010. Meanwhile, in 1950, the percentage of city residents nearly doubled those of town and rural areas, at 20% and 30%, respectively, but these were similar after 60 years, at 15%.
Moving on to the residents who were born outside Australia, the outstanding point is that the share of individuals living in cities was remarkably high for both years, at 60% and 80%, respectively, which were higher than remaining areas as many times. At the same time, the rural residents accounted for 40% in 1950, higher than that of towns by nearly 30%. The final record is that after 60 years, almost all people migrated to cities, so both areas saw a drop, to 5% and 10%, as the previous mention.
