Housing owned and rented in the UK

The pie charts compare home ownership and renting for 1991 and 2007 in percentage terms. In 1991, home owner were the most popular type of housing, accounting for 60%, or more than over half of all homes. The next largest sector was social rented homes, amounting to 23% or nearly one-third of homes. The remaining homes were mostly privately rented (11%) with a tiny fraction being social housing (6%).

这个饼状图比较了1991年和2007年的住房拥有率和租房率。1991年，房主是最受欢迎的住房类型，占60%，占所有住房的一半以上。其次是社会租赁住房，占住房总数的23%或近三分之一。剩下的住房大多是私人租赁的(11%)，其中很小一部分是社会住房(6%)。

Sixteen years later, in 2007, the number of home owners had risen to 70%, or almost three quarters of all homes. This was an increase of 10% compared with 1991. Much of the increase in home ownership can be explained by the decrease in social rented homes, which had dropped from 23% to 17%.

16年后的2007年，拥有住房的人数上升到70%，几乎占所有住房的四分之三。这比1991年增加了10%。住房拥有率的增长在很大程度上可以解释为社会租赁住房的减少，从23%下降到17%。

The percentage of privately rented homes had remained unchanged at 11%. However, there were 5 million more homes in 2007 compared with 1991 so the number of rented homes had increased despite the same percentage. Social housing has decreased three-fold from 6% in 1991 to 2% in 2007, and it remains the least popular type of housing.

私人租房的比例保持在11%不变。然而，与1991年相比，2007年新增了500万套住房，因此尽管比例相同，出租房屋的数量却有所增加。社会住房从1991年的6%下降到2007年的2%，下降了三倍，它仍然是最不受欢迎的住房类型。
