The bar chart compares the percentage of homeowners and renters in England and Wales from 1918 to 2011. It shows that from 1918 to the early 1970s, homeowners outnumbered renters, but from the late 1970s onward, renters became the majority. In 1918, over 75% of households owned their home, but by 1971 homeownership had fallen to around 50% and continued declining to only 30% by 2011, while the percentage of renters rose from under 25% in 1918 to over 70% in 2001.

The chart compared the percentage of homeowners and renters in
England and Wales from 1918 to 2011. It is noticeable from the bar chart that during the first half period, the proportion of householders was higher than that of households in rented accommodation, while an opposite trend was witnessed over the last forty years. In 1918, the percentage of homeowners was more than 75%, which tripled that of the home renters. This figure decreased dramatically by 25% from 1918 to 1971 in spite of a 4-year stable period (1939-1953) of 70%. The proportion of families renting houses was an inversely proportional trend to that of households owned accommodation. In 1918, this figure for house renting was just nearly 25%. From 1939 to 1953, the figure stayed unchanged at around 30% before increasing sharply to equal that of the home owning. From 1971 to 2011, the percentage of home ownership continued its falling trend to only 30% in 2011. During the same period, the proportion of tenants saw a different pattern in the trend. The figure rose up enormously and hit the peak of almost 70% in 2001. (187 words)
