Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

Sample 1:

The chart gives information about the percentage of people living in cities, towns, and rural areas in Australia in 1950 and 2010, in terms of those born in Australia and those born elsewhere.

Overall, it is clear that living in a city was far more common for both groups of people in both 1950 and 2010. Furthermore, the percentage of both groups of people living in cities increased over the period.

In 1950, around 50% of people born in Australia lived in a city. Meanwhile, 20% of people born in Australia lived in a town, compared with around 30% living in rural areas. By 2010, the number of those living in cities had increased to approximately 65%, while the percentage of those living in towns and rural areas dropped to a little over 15% each.

On the other hand, the percentage of people born outside of Australia that lived in cities was around 60% in 1950, and 80% in 2010. Notably, a significant portion of those who weren’t born in Australia lived in rural areas in 1950 (40%); however, this figure dropped substantially in 2010 to around 5%.

Sample 2:

The graph depicts the proportion of Australians living in cities, towns, and rural regions between 1950 and 2010 based on whether they were born in Australia or overseas.

Overall, it is evident that city life was far more prevalent for both categories in both 1950 and 2010. Moreover, the proportion of both populations residing in urban areas rose over time.

In 1950, over fifty percent of Australians were born in cities. Around 30% of those born in Australia resided in rural regions, whereas 20% lived in cities. In 2010, roughly 65% of the population resided in cities, while the percentages of people residing in towns and rural regions fell to around 15% each.

In contrast, over 60% of those born outside of Australia resided in cities in 1950, compared to 80% in 2010. Interestingly, a large proportion of non-Australians (40% in 1950) resided in rural regions; nevertheless, this percentage declined significantly to 5% in 2010.

Sample 3:

The given bar chart depicts the living area of Australian and non-Australian from 1995 to 2010. Overall, there was significant shift towards urban living amonth both groups, as opposed to a dramatic decline in rural populations, with those living metropolitans dominating the chart in both years.

Regarding 1995 residential preferences, nearly half of the Australian-born citizens lived in cities, which was approximately 15% lower than the figure for their foreign counterparts. Rural areas ranked second in both charts, with 30% and 40% of local and overseas inhabitants, respectively. Only about 10% of the non-Australian nationals preferred to stay within urban areas, while the corresponding figure for native Australians was double the former in the same year.

In terms of 2010 tendency, both local and foreign inhabitants living in cities remain dominante in the chart, after substaintial rises to around 66% of native Australians and 80% of their foreign counterparts. In contrast, the rural population underwent the most dramatic drops in 2010 when rural regions became the least popular, at about 17% of native Australians and 5% of foreign residents. A less remarkable decline was seen in the percentage of Australian and non-Australian citizens opting for towns, to below 20% in 2010, at about 17% and 10% in order.

Sample 4:

The graph delineates the distribution of Australians in cities, towns, and rural areas from 1950 to 2010 based on their birthplaces, whether in Australia or overseas.

Overall, city dwelling emerged as the dominant trend for both native-born and overseas-born Australians in 1950 and 2010. Furthermore, there was a surge in the urban population over the years while the percentage of living in town and rural areas decreased.

In 1950, cities hosted more than half of the Australian-born population, compared to nearly 30% residing in rural areas and about 20% in towns. By 2010, the urban population had increased substantially to approximately 65%, while the proportions in towns and rural regions dropped to nearly 15% each.

60% of non-Australians resided in cities in 1950, which surged to 80% by 2010. Notably, a significant percentage of foreign-born Australian nationals (40% in 1950) lived in rural areas, yet this declined remarkably to a mere 5% by 2010. Living in towns was the least preferred option of people born outside Australia in 1950, amounting to just over 10%, which stayed unchanged in 2010 but became the second favorite living site before rural areas.

Sample 5:

The bar charts illustrate the percentage of Australia-born and foreign-born people who reside in cities, towns, and rural areas in Australia from 1995 to 2010.

Overall, the percentages of people living in cities both in and outside Australia were highest and moderately increased over the years. Meanwhile, the percentages of residents in towns and rural areas both in and outside Australia significantly decreased.

Regarding the Australia-born population, the figure for city dwellers in Australia was 50% in 1995, compared to 20% of people living in towns and 30% of those residing in rural areas. 15 years later, while the percentage of urbanites rose by 10%, the figures for town and rural residents experienced declines of 3% and 13%, respectively, to both end at 17%.

Moving on to the foreign-born populations in Australia, 60% of people dwelled in cities, followed by 40% of town residents and 10% of people inhabiting rural areas in 1995. In 2010, the figure for city dwellers grew to 80%, while the percentages of people settling down in towns and rural areas dropped to 10% and 8%, respectively.

Sample 6:

The provided charts illustrate the proportion of individuals living in cities, towns, and rural areas in Australia in 1950 and 2010, in terms of those born in Australia and those born everywhere.

Taken as a whole, a brief assessment of the information reveals that living in a city was far more common for both groups of people in both 1950 and 2010.

To begin with, the statistics of citizens in 1950 who were born in Australia accounted for roughly 50% and experienced substantial growth of approximately 65% after exactly 60 years in cities. Meanwhile, the figures for people born in Australia witness a downward trend, from 20% in 1950 to approximately 17% in 2010. Furthermore, there was a substantial decline in the ratio of rural areas in Australia, which dropped moderately from roughly 30% to around 17% during the period from 1950 to 2010.

For the rest of the chart, the rate of living outside Australia peaked between 60% and 80% in 1950 and 2010. There were also two downward trends in towns and rural areas, from around 15% to approximately 13% and exactly 40%, which decreased sharply by 5% in 1950 and 2010.
