The given table compares and contrasts the differences of six types of Australian households residing in poor areas in 1999.
By and large, it is readily apparent that a vast majority of poor families come from sole parents, followed by that of singles, who had kids. Interestingly, couples and singles held the lower proportions in the surveyed year.
A deep analysis of the provided chart reveals that the lion’s share of needy residents was represented by sole parents, at a whopping 21%, followed by singles, at approximately 19%. It is noticeable that the figure for pairs who had children was the third most poor families, at exactly 12%, which was twice as high as that of elderly people.
Shifting focus to the least prominent sectors, it can also be seen that the number of aged couples accounted for 4%, which was nearly two times lower than that of pairs without kids.
