The chart shows the percentage of people who have moved house either in the last 3 years, 
between 3 to 5 years or not within the last 5 years 
 
The chart illustrates the breakdown between people who have changed address or 
remained in the same house, with the numbers split between those who have moved 
within 5 years, within 3 years or not moved for at least 5 years. 
Those in their twenties and thirties have less than a quarter of people living in the 
same home for more than 5 years and those who moved house three to 5 years back 
being the highest. 
Those aged between 40 and 49 had the highest figure for having moved 3 to 5 years 
ago, with 55% of people compared to 31% that had moved more recently and only 
14% who had not moved in the last 5 years. By the next age group, the percentage of 
people who had moved over 3 years ago and those who had not moved for at least 5 
years was almost the same, with only 17% of people having moved more recently. 
Overall, it can be seen that there are wide variations in the percentage of people who 
move during certain ages.
