The table provides data on the average income and spending on food and clothing of a typical family in a UK city, while the pie charts illustrate how this expenditure was distributed across different categories in 2010 and 2013.
Overall, although household income declined noticeably over the period, total spending on food and clothing saw a slight increase. It is also clear that families consistently spent a significantly higher proportion of their budget on food than on clothing in both years.
According to the table, average family income fell from £29,000 in 2010 to £25,000 in 2013. In contrast, total expenditure on food and clothes rose modestly, from £14,000 to £15,000 during the same period.
Turning to the breakdown of spending, the proportion allocated to meat and fish declined by 6 percentage points, dropping from 29% to 23%. Similarly, the percentage spent on clothing saw a slight decrease, falling from 15% to 13%. By contrast, the share of spending on fruits and vegetables increased steadily, reaching 30% and becoming the largest category. Dairy products also experienced a moderate rise, from 12% to 16%. Meanwhile, the percentage spent on other food items remained unchanged at 18%.
