The pie charts below show the percentage of housing owned and rented in the UK in 1991 and 2007.

Overall

, the most impressive from the chart is that people who have their own house topped the list in both years surveyed,

whereas

social housing made up the smallest proportion. In 1991, the percentage of homeowners accounted for the lion's share of well over third-firth (60%), followed by that of social renting with 23%.

Then

, the proportion of private renting and social housing consisted of similar percentages, ranging from 11% to 6% respectively. As can be seen from the chart, over the time scale of nearly 20 years, the house owners still remain in a relatively unchanged position, with a tight increase of 10% in 2007. The figure for social renting and social housing had small changes, at 17% and 2%, it declined 6% and 4% respectively. The

last

one is that private housing has remained relatively unchanged at 11% over a period of 20 years.
