The line graph shows the share of households owning computers in a European country from 1997 to 2011.
Overall, it can be seen that the ownership rate of households with two or more computers increased, while the proportion of those without computers declined. Despite minor fluctuations, the share of households possessing one computer remained relatively stable, representing the highest percentage almost throughout the period.
The trends for households with one computer and those without one witnessed different patterns. In 1997, the percentage of households without a computer was around 47%, closely followed by those with one computer at approximately 45%. Over the subsequent four years, both categories maintained similar percentages at about 45%. However, after 2001, households with one computer consistently held the highest proportion, accounting for 45% in 2011, while those without computers dropped significantly, almost halving to around 20%, ranking third in the same year.
The share of households with two or more computers demonstrated an increase over the period. In particular, households possessing two computers saw a substantial rise, climbing from roughly 5% in 1997 to nearly 30% in 2011. Likewise, the proportion of households with three or more computers also witnessed a rise, albeit more modest, as their share rose from 0% to approximately 7%, remaining the lowest throughout the entire period.
