The table illustrates an average income and the amount of money spent on food and clothes by an average family in a city in the US, while the bar chart presents the proportion of spending on five different categories: fruit and vegetable, meat and fish, dairy products, other food, and clothes.
Overall, it is clear that there was a drop in average family income across the period, whereas the total money spent on food and clothes slightly increased. Interestingly, the proportion of money spent on food was more than on clothes for both years.
In 2009, the average family income was 29000 US dollars with the money spent on food and clothes was 14000 US dollars. It is noticeable that the proportion of meat and fish was the highest among other types (29%), followed by 25% on fruit and vegetable. Other food and clothes accounted for around 17.5% and 15%, respectively. The rest of the proportion was dairy products which was nearly 10%.
Moving on to 2015, there was a slight fall in the average family income to 25000 US dollars, but the amount of money spent on food and clothes rose to 15000 US dollars. It can be seen that fruit and vegetable accounted for the vast majority of the proportion (30%). Meat and fish and clothes decreased to around 22.5% and 12.5% in this year. In contrast, dairy products went up to over 15%, leaving other food remained the same (17.5%).
