In 1990， three out of four houses were state-owned. However， by 2000， the percentage of the ownership of private houses has soared to 80%.
　　The above chart reveals that the huge expansion in the private house ownership has been accompanied by a corresponding fall in the state ownership of houses in a span of a decade. （1990-2000）
　　As is suggested （ unfolded / demonstrated / illustrated / mirrored ） in the above chart， with the sharp rise in the private ownership of houses， the state ownership of houses has dramatically （ substantially / alarmingly ） dropped in a passage of a decade. （1990-2000）
