2000与2020年家庭支出Household spending in 2000 and 2020

The two pie charts compare the way households in a particular country divided their spending among five categories in 2000 and in 2020. Overall, housing took up a growing share of spending and replaced food as the largest category. Leisure also became more important, while the proportion spent on food and on other items fell. In 2000, food was the biggest expense, at 30% of the total, just ahead of housing at 28%. Twenty years later this order had been reversed. Housing accounted for more than a third of spending, at 36%, whereas food had dropped to 22%, or just over a fifth. Among the smaller categories, the share spent on leisure increased from a tenth to 14%. Transport was the most stable category, rising by only one percentage point to 15%. The remaining spending, grouped as other, declined from 18% to 13%, making it the smallest category in 2020.
