Band 6+: The tables show results of 2 surveys done in 1980 and 2010 on various aspects of city living in a particular city. Units are measured in percentage. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The tables compare the reviews across six different aspects in a living city of two surveys done in two separate years 1980 and 2010.

Overall, all six aspects in that city were rated worse throughout the period. However, education and employment showed the similar trajectory in terms of the good review, making the number of individuals rating education as good the highest, whereas environment, healthcare, shops and transport saw a reversed trend. Additionally, the number of residents being unsure about their reviews in shops still remained unchanged by the end of the period, while other aspects saw fluctuations in this category.

Looking into the first three aspects of a living city, specifically education, healthcare, and environment, in 1980, healthcare was the most appreciated field where 82% of respondents rated it as good, following by the two remaining categories with an identical rates of 72%. However, in the next three decades, the good reviews of education ascended slightly to 82%, overtaking the highest figure of healthcare service, whose percentages, along with environment, decreased to 74% and 71%, respectively. Given the bad reviews, education still possessed the smallest rate ( at 5% and 7% ) throughout the span though all categories witnessed an upward trend. Ultimately, regarding the neither good nor bad category, only healthcare saw a growth of 4% in this figure, while the remaining aspects exhibited a downward trend, making their rates around 11% to 14%.

Regarding the three remaining aspects of a living city, employment ranked third in 2010 in terms of the most appreciated aspect with 72% of the rates due to a growth of 10%, while those for shops and transport just consistently descended to 60% and 39%, respectively. Together with the lowest good rate, transport also received the highest rate of bad reviews, at 38%, prior to shops and employment. Turning to the unsure choices, 24% of the residents were still unsure about their rates for shops throughout three decades since 1980, while those for employment plummeted to 5%, and those for transport just grew to 23%.
