The three pie charts below show the changes in annual spending by local authorities in Someland in 1980, 1990 and 2000.
The pie charts compare patterns of the total expenditure by Someland authorities in 1990, 1980 and 2000. One prominent feature is that education, including higher and K-12 education, took up the lion' s share in any given year, accounting for almost three-quarters of the total spending. K-12 education expense decreased by seven percent from 25% in 1980 to 18% in 2000. The proportion of higher education spending rose significantly, from a third of the total expense in 1980 to nearly a half in 1990, before falling to 40% by 2000. The rest of the authorities' spending was divided between transportation, environmental services, health and human resources and other expenses. Although the authorities increased their spending from 14% in 1980 to 20% in 1990, they cut a half by 2000. A reversed pattern applied to transportation, shrinking from 16% in 1980 to 6% in 1990 before expanding to 22% by 2000. Just a modest share of the local budget was allocated for environmental services, never exceeding a tenth of the total authorities' total expenditure.
