The table illustrates how many people out of a thousand owned a motor vehicle in various countries in 1990 and 2000. Overall, vehicle ownership in all countries experienced various upward trends except the Bahamas and Cambodia. This rise was the most significant in Brazil, followed by Romania. The country with the lowest rate of car ownership was Cambodia.
In 1990, 55 Brazilians and 68 Romanians out of 1000 had some sort of motor vehicle. The figures for both countries grew dramatically to 13,580 and 8012, respectively. In Luxembourg and New Zealand, more than half of a thousand people owned a private vehicle. While this increased negligibly in New Zealand, the growth was more pronounced in Luxembourg, where 728 out of every 1000 people had a car.
The number of people possessing private vehicles in Chile was the same as that of Romania at 68, but it experienced a minimal rise of 20. In Jordan, private car ownership in every 1000 people tripled from 50 in 1990 to 157 in 2000. The opposite trend was the case with the Bahamas, where 187 people among 1000 owned a car in 2000, as opposed to 235 in 1990. Cambodia was the country with the lowest car ownership: only a person in every 1000 people had a motor vehicle in 1990, which remained unchanged even after a decade.
