Americans bought about 38 million Christmas trees in the 2015 holiday season. Two-thirds of these trees were real. While Americans spent more per tree on artificial trees, the total retail value of real trees sold was $1.32 B. This was significantly more than the $854M spent on artificial trees. The data in the chart below is based on a survey sponsored by the National Christmas Tree Association:
The 100% stacked bar chart can be used to present data with the same categories (real and artificial trees) across three different measures (number purchased, mean average spent, and retail value). I think this approach is more informative than showing the same data in a table:
| TREE TYPE | MEAN AVERAGE DOLLARS SPENT | NUMBER PURCHASED | RETAIL VALUE ($) |
| Real Trees | $50.82 | 25.9 million | $1.32 billion |
| Artificial Trees | $69.38 | 12.5 million | $854 million |
I added a data row to show change from 2014 to 2015 and used holiday coloring to make the chart more eye-catching. Here is the chart in SlideShare to download and edit using Mekko Graphics:
