  Moved to Same Region Moved to a Different Region Moved to a different Country
Owner 11.8 2.9 0.4
Renter 18.8 4.5 1.1

Probability is estimated as,

Probability=Number of favourable outcomesTotal outcomes

In this case, the probability is estimated as,

Pcitizen was a person who moved to a different region=no of people who moved to different regionTotal no. of people
