The bar graph displays the percentages of households that owned and rented their accommodation in England and Wales from 1918 to 2011.
Overall, while the percentage of households renting their accommodation went down, the percentage owning theirs went up over the course of this 93-year period. Before 1971, there were more renters than owners. After that, the reverse was true.
In 1918, approximately 75 percent of households lived in rented accommodation. However, this number dropped significantly to just over 30 percent in 2001 before climbing slightly to about 35 percent in 2011.
Only around a quarter of households were owner-occupiers in 1918. Nevertheless, this proportion started to increase and became the same as that of renters in 1971, at 50 percent. Ownership then continued to rise and reached its peak in 2001, at just under 70 percent. After that, it only experienced a small fall to roughly 65 percent in 2011.
