LINE GRAPH: CAR OWNERSHIP
The graph below gives information about car ownership in Britain from 1971 to 2007.
Model answer:
The graph shows changes in the number of cars per household in Great Britain over a period
of 36 years.
Overall, car ownership in Britain increased between 1971 and 2007. In particular, the
percentage of households with two cars rose, while the figure for households without a car
fell.
In 1971, almost half of all British households did not have regular use of a car. Around 44% of
households had one car, but only about 7% had two cars. It was uncommon for families to
own three or more cars, with around 2% of households falling into this category.
The one-car household was the most common type from the late 1970s onwards, although
there was little change in the figures for this category. The biggest change was seen in the
proportion of households without a car, which fell steadily over the 36-year period to around
25% in 2007. In contrast, the proportion of two-car families rose steadily, reaching about
26% in 2007, and the proportion of households with more than two cars rose by around 5%.
