The graph below shows the result of a British survey taken in 2005 on the types of houses people liked.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart illustrates housing preferences among residents in three UK cities (Liverpool, London and Manchester), from a survey (with a noted typo marking the year as 2009, per the task description the survey was conducted in 2005).
Overall, apartments were the most popular housing type in Liverpool, while semi-detached houses were the preferred choice for people in London and Manchester. Terraced houses were the least favoured across all three cities.
Looking at the details, nearly 60% of respondents in Liverpool favoured apartments, which was far higher than the figures for London (just under 30%) and Manchester (around 19%). By contrast, semi-detached houses were the top choice in London and Manchester, with approximately 37% and 38% of residents in these two cities preferring this housing type respectively, compared to only 17% in Liverpool.
For detached houses, 35% of people in Manchester liked this type, compared to 25% in London and 14% in Liverpool. Finally, terraced houses were the least popular in all three cities: 19% of Londoners preferred terraced houses, while the figures for Liverpool and Manchester were only 9% and 11% respectively.
