The line chart illustrates information on car ownership in the United Kingdom between 1975 and 2005. The data includes the proportions of people in the country who owned 1, 2, or 3 cars, as well as those who owned no cars.
Overall, a significantly higher percentage of people in the UK tended to have either one car or none at all, while notably fewer people possessed 2 cars, and even fewer owned 3 private cars. Regarding shifts in car ownership, the proportion of people without a single car declined drastically by 2005, whereas the figure for individuals with 1 car remained at the same level. In contrast, the percentage of those who owned 2 and 3 cars increased, indicating that overall car ownership improved in this region over the 30 years under review.
In 1975, the percentage of one-car owners was closely aligned with those who did not own private transport, at 45% and around 43%, respectively. The share of people who used one car fell to approximately 37% before gradually rebounding to the original 45% in 2005. The figure for the group with no car ownership also dropped, but much more sharply, hitting 25% in 1985. It briefly stabilized at this level until 1995, when it slightly decreased to roughly 22%.
Individuals owning two or more cars stood in stark contrast to the aforementioned demographics. In 1975, about 7% of people in the country had 2 cars, while a slightly lower percentage—4%—owned 3 cars. The percentage of the former rose at a more accelerated pace (reaching 15% by 1985 and further increasing to 18% by 2005), as opposed to the latter, which grew steadily to just under 9% in 2005.282 words
