The two pie charts illustrate the proportion of homes that were let and owned in 1991 and 2007 in UK.
Overall, majority of the properties were occupied by the landlords in both years while the percentages of social housing were least in those years. The ratio of social renting was higher than private renting. Over the years both social housing and social renting declined, while private renting over the period remained stable.
In 1991, 60% of the housings belonged to homeowners and this figure was 10% more in 2007. Social renting, private renting and social housing in 1991 were 23%, 11% and 6% and these figures were 17%, 11% and 2% respectively in 2007.
Social housing and social renting in 1991 accounted for 23% and 6% respectively and these ratios declined to 17% and 2% respectively in 2007. As home ownership went up over the given period, and social housing and renting declined with constant ratio of private renting, it can be understood that over the time more houses went to occupation of the home owners.
