The line graph indicates the variation in the percentage of households that owned no car, one car and two or more cars in Great Britain during a 40-year period from 1961 to 2001. Overall, it can be seen from the graph that the car was a much less popular household item in the 1960s than it is today. Approximately 65% of British families did not have their own car, about 34% had only one car and no family owned two or more cars in 1961. In 1981, there was a significant rise in the percentage of families with one car, reaching the peak of 50%, whereas the proportion of households with no cả markedly dropped to 35%. During the same period, there was 15% families that owned two or more cars. From 1981 to 2001, families with no car were still the majority, but their percentage went down slightly to 43% by 2001. However, the figure for families owned no car saw a drop to less than 30%, while an increasing number of families purchased an additional car pushing the proportion of households with two or more cars to a record high of 29% at the end of the 40-year period.
