The visual represents the proportion of houses in England
and Wales that are owned and leased from 1918 to 2011. Overall, it can be seen
that these two categories consistently showed opposing trends.
In 1918, a huge gap between rented houses and owned houses
is noted. More than two-thirds of households were rented during this year. This
gap can be noticeable until 1961. Although it should be mentioned that even
though there were more houses that were rented during these years, a decrease
in percentage can also be seen. A drop of almost ten percent was reported as
time went by.
Owned houses, however, increased in rate from about 22% in
1918 to 50% in 1971. The growth was consistent until it reached its peak in
2001 at almost 70%. As with the first data, the rise of the rate was almost
parallel to the rate of the decline of rented houses in England and Wales over
the years.
The differences between the proportion of owned and leased
houses during the beginning and the end of the data are remarkable. It is only
in the year 1971 when these categories reached the same percentage at 50.
