The table below shows the monthly expenditure of an average Australian family in 1991 and 2001. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The table compares costs of an average Australian family in various expenses from 1991 to 2001. Overall, spending on clothing and transport showed downward trends, while the reverse was true for other sectors. Notably, other goods and services remained as the highest-ranking costs in both years.
In 1991, spending on clothing was the lowest-ranking expenditure at 30 Australian Dollar, which decreased to 20 in 2001. The allocation of funds for transport also shows a decline, dipping from 70 to 45.
In contrast, the remaining costs experienced growth. Expenses for Electricity and Water saw a pronounced rise, from 75 to 120. The figures for food and housing similarly increased by 5 Australian dollars, to 160 and 100, respectively. Other goods and services were the highest-ranking expenditure in both years, which increased by 20, from 250 to a whopping 270 Australian Dollar.
The essay is logically organized with clear comparisons and contrasts between 1991 and 2001 expenditures.
