The pictures show information about average income and spending on food and clothes
by an average family in a city in the UK.
The given diagrams present how much a typical household in the UK earned on average and how they allocated their earnings to food and clothes between 2010 and 2013.
Overall, while the average income witnessed a moderate drop, a slight rise was seen in the data for expenditures on the mentioned categories. In addition, a significant proportion of expenditures was distributed to food, with the majority of the spending recorded in vegetable and meat in both years.
Regarding the comparison between average income and expenditures, in 2010, the average earnings of the family stood at 29 thousand dollars, double the amount spent on diets and clothing purchases. Three years later, there was a marginal decrease observed in earnings, dropping to 25 thousand dollars, as opposed to a modest growth of 1 thousand dollars recorded in spending.
Concerning the allocation of the family’s budget to different needs, in the first year, a much higher percentage of expenses went to food, at 75% compared to 15% in clothes. As for food products, the money allocated to vegetable and fruit, and meat and fish constituted over half of the expenses in total, making them the top money-consuming products. This was followed by dairy products and other food, with corresponding figures standing at 12% and 18%. Thereafter, people continued to spend slightly more on food, as the proportion of money distributed to fruit and vegetables, and dairy products ascended by 4% each.
