Sample Answer
The provided bar chart displays the age demographic pattern of English males and females who were living in solitude in 2011, while the pie chart illustrates the number of bedrooms available in these single-person households.
Looking from an overall perspective, proportion-wise, British males living on their own tended to outnumber their female counterparts in younger age groups, while the reverse was true for older age brackets — a pattern reflected in the overall female dominance. It is also notable that the 50–64 cohort is the only demographic where there was an equal share of people of both genders. Concerning living setups, single-individual homes with 2 and 3 bedrooms were the most prominent, while the least popular housing type had at least 5 bedrooms.
Looking initially at age and gender demographic trends, male dominance was observed among people between 16 and 49 years old, with the 35–49 group showing the most pronounced disparity (roughly 65% English males compared to the reciprocal figure of more than 30% women). Males living a life of solitude also registered higher figures among those aged 25–34 and 16–24, standing at just over 60% and less than 55%, respectively. The 50–64 group, meanwhile, was the only age group with similar proportions for both genders, standing in equilibrium at 50%. By contrast, female dominance was inherent among those aged between 65 and over 85, with the lowest share of British men in the oldest age group choosing solo living, at around 25% — a figure vastly outnumbered by their female counterparts. These trends were largely reflected in the figure for all ages, which showed females marginally surpassing males.
Turning to one-person household setups, over a third of single-living people chose to stay in 2-bedroom housing facilities, accounting for just above 35% of the total, followed closely by 3-bedroom and 1-bedroom accommodations, at approximately 30% and 28%, in turn. These numbers were around six times higher than the figure for those living in 4-bedroom houses, registering 5.3%. Meanwhile, housing types with 5 or more bedrooms were the least popular, favored by only 1.4% of British people living alone.
