The bar chart illustrates the proportion of people who rentd and owned houses in two countries around a century from 1918 - 2011.

Meanwhile, the households that were owned began at 23% then saw their figures rising to 41%. From 1939 to 1953, that number rented and owned houses remained consistently at 68% and 32% respectively.
