The data illustrates the proportion of houses rented and owned in Britain in the years 2007 and 1991.
Overall, the chart depicts similar trends in both years. The majority of individuals own their homes, a smaller social rent their houses, and an even smaller number rent their houses privately and from social housing.
It can be seen that during the initial year(1991), most individuals preferred to purchase a house and become homeowners, as it is evident that more than half of the houses(60%) are homeowner-occupied. However, the lowest proportion (6%) is visible in social housing.
On the other hand, in 2007, there was an increase in homes by 5 million from 1991, bringing the total to 27 million. Compared to 1991’s chart, a larger proportion of houses became owned(70%), while fewer were social rented(17%), and an even lower amount were private rented and home owned, having percentages of 11% and 2%.
