Introduction
This Bureau o f Labor Statistics bulletin presents expenditure and income data collected in the diary com ponent o f the most recent
Consum er Expenditure Survey. T he data w ere derived from the reports of over 20,000 sample families w ho w ere asked to participate in
th e diary survey for tw o consecutive 1-week periods from the last week in June 1972 through the third week o f June 1974. Unlike previous
surveys, the collection o f data was carried out by the U.S. Bureau o f the Census under contract to the Bureau o f L abor Statistics.
T h e expenditure and income data collected in the diary survey are presented here in 129 tables which classify families and single
consum ers by im portant socioeconomic family characteristics. Expenditures are expressed as weekly weighted averages; income data are
show n as annual averages.
T he prim ary purpose for undertaking the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey was to gather data necessary to revise the Consumer
Price Index. Aside from this im portant mission, the survey provides the only com prehensive body o f income and expenditure information
available for satisfying the broad range o f analytical activities that exist in this area. T he data can be used in examination and analyses of
consum er demand and income, in social welfare planning for poor and low-income families, in m arket research analyses o f dem and for
different products or market areas, and in consum er counseling designed to assist families in evaluating their household budgets.
1
Historical Background
From 1944 to 1949, the BLS tested alternative techniques and
m ethodologies designed to im prove subsequent expenditure surveys.
F rom these tests, m any improvem ents w ere incorporated in the
expenditure survey o f 1950, w hich addressed the civilian noninstitutio
nal population living in urban areas. T he 1950 survey provided data for
revision o f the weights o f the C PI and for analyses o f consumption
patterns.
T he 1960-61 Survey o f Consumer Expenditures was m ore ambitious
than any of its predecessors. Covering all urban and rural families and
single consumers, the survey followed an extensive testing o f the latest
collection and processing methodology. T he prim ary purpose o f the
survey was to support the revision o f the Consumer Price Index.
H ow ever, the survey was also valuable in satisfying the grow ing interest
o f m arket researchers, governm ent officials, and private users o f data on
income, expenditures, and assets and liabilities o f Am erican families.
W hile food expenditure data w ere collected by a 7-day recall question
naire, all other data w ere collected by interview-administered annual
recall techniques.
Planning for the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey was initiated
in the late 1960’s. Testing revealed that data for small, frequently
purchased items could be collected m ore accurately by recordkeeping
methods. O ther items o f expense w ere found to be well collected by
periodic recall techniques. It was on the basis o f these findings that the
diary-interview structure o f the 1972-73 Survey was developed. T he
diary was designed to obtain the frequently purchased items that are
contained in this bulletin. T he interview was designed to obtain larger
purchases w hich are published in separate reports.
Expenditure surveys undertaken by the Bureau o f Labor Statistics
date back to the late 19th century. T he first survey was conducted from
1888 to 1891 to provide the U.S. G overnm ent w ith cost-of-living data
for A m erican wage earners. This inform ation was examined in con
ju n ction w ith a study o f industry production costs and the setting of
tariffs. T he surveys o f 1901 and 1917-19 w ere conducted in response to
rapid price changes occurring at the turn o f the century and during the
first W orld W ar. It was from these tw o surveys, w hich focused on wage
earners and salaried w orkers living in urban areas, that BLS first
produced a Cost-of-Living Index, w hich eventually evolved into the
current Consumer Price Index (CPI).
D uring the period 1934-36 the BLS participated in tw o separate
surveys: (1) the Survey o f M oney Disbursements o f wage earners and
clerical w orkers living in large urban areas; and (2) a com prehensive
Consum er Purchases Study of all native-born husband/w ife families.
T h e data derived from these surveys perm itted the revision of the CPI,
the selection o f a new list o f items to be priced in the index, and more
extensive analyses of income and expenditure behavior of American
families.
D uring 1941-42 the BLS cooperated w ith the D epartm ent o f A gricul
ture in conducting a nationwide survey o f the civilian noninstitutional
population. T he purpose o f the survey was to provide a body o f data on
w hich to base governm ental decisions affecting the civilian economy
during the second W orld War. This was the first nationwide survey that
perm itted the estimation o f national consum ption expenditures and
savings classified by income class.

Description of the Survey
T he 1972-73 Consum er E xpenditure Survey consisted o f tw o separate
com ponents, each w ith its ow n questionnaire and sample: (1) A n
interview panel survey in w hich each consum er unit 1 in the sample was
visited by an interview er every 3 m onths over a 15-month period; and
( 2) a diary o r recordkeeping survey com pleted by respondents for tw o
consecutive 1-week periods. This bulletin concerns the diary com po
nent.
T he diary survey was divided into tw o 12-month periods, the first
covering the last week in June 1972 through the third week o f June
1973, and the second covering the last w eek in June 1973 through the
third week in June 1974. A lthough consum er units w ere asked to list all
expenses during the survey period, the prim ary objective o f the survey
was to obtain reliable expenditure data on small, frequently purchased
items w hich are norm ally difficult to recall. These items include
expenditures for food and beverages, gas and electricity, gasoline,
housekeeping supplies, nonprescription drugs and m edical supplies, and
personal care products and services. N o expenditure data w ere gathered
from sample families while they w ere on trips o r vacations aw ay from
hom e overnight.
T he diary data w ere collected on a household characteristics
questionnaire and on a separate questionnaire to record daily expenses.
T h e household characteristics questionnaire (see exhibit 1) was used to
record inform ation pertaining to age, sex, race, marital status, and family
relationships and also to collect inform ation on w ork experience and on
earnings o f each family member. T he daily expense record (see exhibit
2) was designed as a self-reporting, product-oriented diary on w hich
respondents recorded all expenses for tw o consecutive 1-week periods.
It was divided by day o f purchase and by broad classifications o f goods
and services, a breakdow n designed to aid the respondent w hen
recording daily purchases.
A t the beginning o f the 2-week collection period, the interview er
used the household characteristics questionnaire to record inform ation
pertaining to household members. Also at this time a daily expense
record, or diary, was left w ith the participating family. A t the end o f the
first week, the interview er picked up the diary, review ed the entries,
clarified any questions, and left a second diary for the following week.
T he interview er again picked up the diary at the end o f the second week
and subjected it to review and clarification. A t the same time, the
interview er again used the household characteristics questionnaire to
collect inform ation on the w ork experience, occupation, industry,
retirem ent status, and m em ber earnings from wages and salaries, net
incom e from business o r profession, net incom e from one’s ow n farm,
and incom e from other sources. This information, along w ith the other
household characteristics information, was collected to perm it the
following: (1) D eterm ination o f the eligibility o f the family for inclusion
in the population covered by the Consum er Price Index; (2) classifica
tion o f families for purposes o f dissemination and analysis; and (3)
adjustm ent for nonresponse by families w hich did not cooperate in the
survey.
Sam ple selection
T he nation was divided into 216 geographic areas defined in
accordance w ith the sampling fram e used for the C urrent Population
Survey. T hirty o f these areas w ere self-representing, i.e., selected with
certainty, prim arily because o f the size o f the population areas represen
ted. H alf o f the housing units in each o f these self-representing areas was
covered in the first survey year and h alf in the second survey year. T he
remaining 186 areas, com prising less populated areas and nonm etropoli
tan areas, w ere divided into tw o 93-area groups, each o f w hich was
covered in 1 o f the 2 survey years. F rom each o f these 186 areas, a
prim ary sampling unit (PSU) was random ly selected using a controlled

selection procedure to insure proper geographic distribution .2
Housing units within the 216 geographical areas w ere further assigned
to housing unit strata. Occupied housing units w ere stratified by income
level, housing tenure, and size of prim ary family. V acant housing units
w ere assigned to certain other strata as w ere institutional persons, i.e.,
that portion o f the population living in room ing or boarding houses or in
docto rs’ o r nurses’ quarters o f general hospitals. The selection of
housing units was independent from the selection of institutional
persons.
T he actual sample of housing units was selected by com puter from the
1970 Census 20-percent sample data file w hich included those house
holds com pleting the long form questionnaires. Approxim ately 30,000
housing units w ere designated for interview for each year o f the 2-year
diary survey. These units include the augmented sample o f housing units
w hich w ere to be visited during the 4-week period prior to the
Christmas and New Year’s holidays for each year. Additionally, they
include a num ber of newly constructed housing units which w ere
selected to update the sample for the period from the 1970 Census to the
time o f the interview for the diary survey. These new units w ere
selected from reports of building permits issued for privately financed
residential construction and were sampled independently within each
PSU.
C ooperation levels
Levels o f cooperation w ere relatively high throughout the diary
survey period, as shown in the tabulation below. This tabulation
summarizes the types and levels of response for each survey year.

Estimation o f weights
W eights w ere assigned to each consumer unit (CU) participating in
the survey in order to provide estimates for the U.S. population. The
weights w ere products of several factors. One factor assigned was the
inverse of the probability of selection of the housing unit, being equal to
tw o times the initial sampling rate and reflecting the splitting o f the
sample into tw o 1-year components. F o r diaries which could not be
collected from occupied sample households because of refusals or
because no one was home, or from C U ’s within households w here there
was m ore than one CU, a complex noninterview adjustment was made
to correct for these deficiencies. Additional factors included ratio
estimation in non-self-representing PSU ’s for color and residence; ratio
estimation in all geographic areas for age, sex, and color to known
civilian noninstitutional population controls; and a CU adjustment based
upon family com position .4

A total of 29,172 1-week housing units w ere designated for interview in
the first-year diary survey, and 30,414 w ere designated for interview in
the second-year diary survey. O f these totals, 3,794 units in the first-year
survey and 4,464 units in the second-year survey were determined to be
T ype B or C nonresponse—that is, vacant, nonexistent, or ineligible for
the period. The remaining housing units, 25,378 in the first-year survey
and 25,950 in the second-year survey, w ere designated as the eligible
units for the survey. O f all the eligibles, 4,986 in the first-year survey and
2,595 in the second-year survey were found to be Type A
nonresponse—that is, unable to contact, refusals, or tem porary ab
sences .3 Based on only eligible housing units (i.e., the designated sample
less Types B and C nonresponse), response rates w ere 80 percent in the
first-year survey and 90 percent in the second-year survey.

2A PSU was usually a county or group of contiguous counties, except in certain areas of
the Northeast, where a PSU was defined as a cluster of towns. PSU’s included both urban
and rural areas as well as farm and nonfarm areas.
3The reduction in Type A nonresponse rates for the two years can be attributed to the
fact that more intensive efforts were applied to collecting information in the second year.

Survey Definitions
while at school, and the CPS concept o f unrelated individuals excludes
students as well as m ilitary personnel living on post.
H ead o f consumer unit. T he 1972-73 C onsum er Expenditure Survey
considered the husband to be the head o f the consum er unit in
husband/w ife families. In other than husband/w ife families, the head
was considered to be the person designated as such by the other CU
members.
Fam ily income. T he concept was defined in the survey as the
com bined income earned by all family members 14 years old or over.
Users should be aw are o f tw o factors w hen interpreting the tables
presenting data by dollar income classes. First, the family income
estimates refer to the 12-month period prior to the date o f interview.
T he diary survey sample o f 10,000 families in each survey year was
distributed into 26 separate 2-week subsamples o f equal size. Thus, the
incom e reference periods differ by 2-week intervals w ith regard to each
subsample. Second, since the dollar incom e class tables present
com bined-year data, table columns contain families from both years o f
the survey. Families reporting a particular level o f incom e for 1972 may
not be at the same point in the 1972 income distribution as are families in
the 1973 income distribution reporting an identical level o f income.
N o attem pt was made to adjust income or expenditures to a common
period.
In tables classified by income decile, sample families are grouped
according to their relative level within the incom e distribution for each
year. T he data in each decile for each year are then combined.
Total income was the sum o f the following components:
Family characteristics
Population coverage. T he eligible population included the civilian
noninstitutional population o f the United States as well as that portion of
the institutional population living in room ing or boarding houses or in
doctors’ and nurses’ quarters o f general hospitals. A rm ed Forces
personnel living outside m ilitary installations w ere included in the
coverage while A rm ed Forces personnel living on post w ere excluded.
Also excluded from eligibility w ere persons living in college dorm ito
ries, fraternity o r sorority houses, prisons, monasteries, aboard ships, or
in other quarters containing five o r m ore unrelated persons.
Consumer unit. T he family or consum er unit (CU) was the basic
reporting unit for the diary survey, and refers to:
(1) A group o f tw o or m ore persons, usually living together, w ho pool
their incom e and draw from a com m on fund for their m ajor items of
expense, or
(2) A person living alone or sharing a household w ith others, or living
as a room er in a private home, lodging house, or hotel, but w ho was
financially independent—that is, income and expenditures w ere not
pooled w ith other residents. N ever-m arried children living w ith parents
w ere always considered members o f the consum er unit.
In contrast to Bureau o f Labor Statistics definitions, the 1970
D ecennial Census defines a reporting unit as either a family or unrelated
individual, w here a family is a group o f tw o or m ore persons residing
together and related by blood, marriage, or adoption; unrelated
individuals are persons either living alone or living w ith persons to
w hom they are not related, including military personnel on post, and
unm arried children living aw ay from hom e while at school.
T he C urrent Population Survey (CPS), another survey conducted by
the Bureau o f the Census, employs the same concept o f family and
unrelated individuals as the Decennial Census w ith the following
exceptions: T he CPS family includes children living aw ay from hom e
Wages and salaries includes total m oney earnings from all jobs,
including civilian wages and salaries, A rm ed Forces pay and allow
ances, tips, commissions, bonuses, piece-rate commissions, and assistantships and teaching fellowships.

N et income from own business or professional practice includes net
income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from a profession or
unincorporated business. If the business was a partnership, only an
appropriate share o f net income was recorded. Losses would also
have been recorded.
N et income fro m own fa rm includes net income (gross receipts minus
operating expenses) from the operation o f a farm by owner, tenant, or
sharecropper. Losses would also have been recorded.
Social security and railroad retirem ent includes payments by the
Federal G overnm ent made under retirem ent, survivors’, and disabil
ity insurance program s to retired persons, to dependents o f deceased
insured workers, or to disabled workers.
Estates, trusts, and dividends, net rental income, and interest on
savings accounts and bonds includes payments made by a corporation
to its stockholders, excluding profits or losses from the sale o f stocks;
net incom e (gross receipts less expenses) from the rental o f property,
real estate, o r farm, or from room ers or boarders; and interest income.
Welfare paym ents and other public assistance includes m oney receiv
ed from local o r State-administered public assistance, aid to families
witn dependent children, and aid to the blind or totally disabled.
Unemployment and workers’ compensation, government pensions, and
veterans' paym ents includes money received from governm ent unem
ploym ent insurance agencies or private companies during periods of
unemployment, as well as strike benefits received from union funds;
money received periodically for injuries incurred at work; money
received from retirem ent pensions paid by Federal, State, county, or
other governm ent agencies to form er employees (including members
o f the A rm ed Forces) or their survivors; and money received
periodically through Veterans Adm inistration paym ents to disabled
members o f the A rm ed Forces or to survivors o f deceased veterans,
as well as subsistence allowances received by veterans for education
and on-the-job training.
Private pensions and annuities, alimony, and other income includes
private pensions or retirem ent benefits received by retired persons or
their survivors, either directly or through an insurance company;
m oney received periodically after a divorce or legal separation;
regular contributions received from persons outside the consumer
unit; and any other sources not specifically identified above.
Complete and incomplete reporting o f income. This bulletin contains
tables in w hich families are classified by income. In the dollar class
tables, each incom e class contains families whose combined income falls
within the class range shown; in the decile class tables, each income
class contains 10 percent o f all families in ascending order according to
the m agnitude o f family income. Families w ho participated in the survey
but failed to report sufficient income information for classification are
shown separately in the tables .5
Geographic regions. D ata are presented in this report for four regions
o f the United States—Northeast, N orth Central, South, and West. These
regions include the following States:
Northeast—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, N ew Hampshire,
N ew Jersey, N ew York, Pennsylvania, R hode Island, Vermont.
N orth Central—Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minneso
ta, Missouri, Nebraska, N orth Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, W isco
nsin.
South—Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, D istrict o f Columbia, F lori
da, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, M aryland, N orth
Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
W est Virginia.
West—Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, California, Hawaii, Idaho, M on
tana, Nevada, N ew Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.
Families represented in the tables are grouped under one o f the four
regions depending on the address at w hich the family was residing
during the time o f the interview.
Type o f area. T he tables in this report classify families in a particular
area according to the address o f the family during their participation in
the survey. T w o factors w ere used in determining the type o f area in
w hich a consum er unit resided:
1.
Inside versus outside a Standard M etropolitan Statistical Area
(SM SA): In the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey, the classifica
tion o f families conform s to 1970 Decennial Census definitions and
boundaries relating to SM SA’s. W ith the exception o f certain places in
5It is important to note that even complete income reporting families may not have
provided a complete accounting of all sources and levels of income but may have met the
criteria for being designated as complete reporters. A more complete explanation of these
criteria and of the treatment of incomplete income reporting families appears in the section
on BLS Processing.
N ew England, an SM SA was defined as a county or group of
contiguous counties w hich contain at least one city of 50,000 inhabitants
o r more, or tw o cities having contiguous boundaries and constituting,
for general economic and social planning purposes, a single com m unity
w ith a com bined population o f at least 50,000. A djacent counties w ere
included in an SM SA if, according to certain criteria, they w ere
essentially m etropolitan in character and w ere socially and econom ica
lly integrated w ith the central city. In N ew England, w here cities and
tow ns are adm inistratively m ore im portant than counties, and data w ere
com piled locally for such divisions, the cities and towns, rather than
counties, w ere the units used in defining SM SA’s.
T he survey further classified the families in SM SA ’s as to w hether
they resided inside or outside o f central cities. W ith few exceptions, the
largest city within an SM SA was defined as the central city. Areas
outside the central city but within an SMSA w ere defined as urban or
rural.
2.
Urban versus rural residence: T he Bureau of Labor Statistics also
conform s to the 1970 Decennial Census definitions of urban and rural.
T he urban population comprises all persons living in: (a) Places of 2,500
inhabitants or more, incorporated as cities, boroughs, villages, and
towns; (b) the densely settled urban fringe, w hether incorporated or
unincorporated places o f urbanized areas; and (c) unincorporated places
o f 2,500 or m ore persons. R ural areas (both farm and nonfarm) are those
remaining areas not falling into one o f the categories set forth above.
Occupation o f fa m ily head. Occupation codes w ere assigned according
to the occupation in w hich the most earnings w ere received during the
12 m onths prior to the interview date. The occupation categories of
em ployed heads closely follow those of the 1970 Census o f Population .6
T he classification, A rm ed Forces Personnel, includes only those families
living off military installations. T he classification, Retired, includes
persons over the age o f 50 w ho reported receiving retirem ent income
and w ho did not work, either full or part time, in the 52 weeks prior to
the interview date. T he classification, N ot W orking and Other, is a
residual and includes unem ployed persons and persons not reporting
occupation status.
Fam ily size. This variable was entered into the data base in whole
num bers according to the num ber o f family members in the CU as o f the
reporting period in w hich the family participated.
Age o f fam ily head. Ages and birthdates w ere collected at the time the
diary was placed w ith the family. T he actual age contained on the data
base was later com puted by substracting the birthdate from 1972 for the
first-year diary and from 1973 for the second-year diary.
Race o f fa m ily head. All families w ere included in one o f three racial
groups: W hite, Black, or other. T he classification, O ther, comprises
such races as Am erican Indians, Japanese, and Chinese. Families of
mixed race w ere classified according to the race o f the family head.
N um ber o f earners. T he num ber o f earners in each family was
recorded as the sum o f all family members w ho reported having w ork
experience sometime during the 12 m onths prior to the interview date.
Education o f fa m ily head. This variable refers to the num ber o f years
o f formal education com pleted as o f the time the family participated in
the survey. Persons not reporting the level o f their education were
classified under the “no school or not reported” category.
Housing tenure. This variable refers to the family’s principal place of
residence at the time of the interview. T he classification, Owner, refers
to C U ’s living in their ow n homes, cooperatives, condom inium apart
ments, or townhouses, w ith or w ithout mortgages. T he classification,
R enter, includes families paying cash rent as well as families living rent
free.
Expenditure categories
Expenditures are defined as the transaction cost o f goods and services
acquired during the recordkeeping period. Estimates include both excise
and sales taxes. T he full cost o f each purchase was recorded even
though full paym ent may not have been made at the date o f purchase.
T he expenditure estimates exclude purchases made aw ay from home
overnight as well as purchases or portions o f purchases directly
assignable to business purposes. Also excluded w ere periodic credit or
installment payments on goods or services already acquired.

Reliability of the Data
T he A and B generalized constants can be used to com pute standard
errors through use o f the following formula:
Sample surveys are subject to tw o types o f errors, nonsampling and
sampling. Nonsampling errors can be attributed to m any sources, such
as definitional difficulties, differences in the interpretation o f questions,
inability or unwillingness o f the respondent to provide correct inform
ation, mistakes in recording or coding the data obtained, and other
errors o f collection, response, processing, coverage, and estimation for
missing data.
Sampling errors occur because observations are not taken from the
entire population. T he standard error, w hich is the accepted measure for
sampling error, is an estimate o f the difference between the sample data
and the data that woiuld have been obtained from a com plete census.
T h e chances that an estimate from a given sample would differ from a
com plete census figure by less than one standard error (one sigma) are
68 out o f 100. T he chances that the difference w ould be less than 1.6
times the standard error are 90 out o f 100, and the chances that the
difference w ould be less than tw o times the standard error are 95 out of
100.

is the standard erro r o f the mean expenditure; x is the mean
expenditure; n is the base o f the mean expenditure; and A and B are the
generalized constants for the specific E C o r subclass o f the EC. Form ula
( 1) and the values for the constants are applicable only within the ranges
o f 71,000 to 71,731,000 white o r all families and 6,000 to 7,178,000
nonw hite families.
Standard errors can readily be com puted through use o f formula (1)
and the generalized constants. F o r example, the mean expenditure for
beef for all 71,731,000 families was $3.65 during the survey period.
Em ploying the appropriate A and B constants in conjunction w ith
form ula (1), the standard erro r is com puted as $0,079. This means that
the 68-percent confidence interval around $3.65 is from $3.57 to $3.73,
and the 95-percent confidence interval, from $3.49 to $3.81. It can
therefore be asserted at a 68-percent level o f confidence that the sample
mean o f $3.65 will differ by less than plus or minus $0,079 from a mean
obtained from a com plete census. A t a 95-percent level o f confidence, it
will differ by less than plus or minus $0.158.
Estimating sam pling error
Table A presents generalized constants w hich can be used to produce
standard errors o f mean expenditures for any expenditure class (EC)
included in this bulletin. D ue to differences in sample sizes and
clustering factors, tw o sets o f constants are shown. One set applies to
expenditures by all families, w ithout regard to race, and to white
families; the other set applies to expenditures by Black or other race
families. G eneralized constants are presented for 28 individual E C ’s as
well as for total food and for food at home. T he constants associated
w ith an individual E C are to be used for that E C or for any subclass of
that EC.
%
Standard errors can also be used to test the statistical significance of
the difference betw een tw o expenditure sample means. Such a test will
determ ine the probability that an observed difference between tw o
means is real and has not occurred simply by chance because the data
w ere draw n from a sample and not the entire population. F o r example,
the mean expenditure for poultry for three-person families in the U.S.
(11,563,000 families) was $1.15 and for four-person families in the U.S.
(10,471,000 families) was $1.39. T he question is w hether the observed

difference betw een the tw o mean expenditures, or $1.39 - $1.15 = $0.24,
is a real difference—in other words, that four-person families really do
spend m ore for poultry, on average, than three-person families—or
w hether the observed $0.24 difference has occurred by chance. This can
be tested statistically by using the standard errors o f each mean
expenditure in conjunction w ith the following formula:
/

where
7
is the standard
error of the difference; €>x,1 is the

A
standard error of one mean; and 7 is the standard error of the o tte r mean.
This formula is applicable only to the means of two disjoint populations
(i.e., one population is not a subset of the other).
T hrough use o f formula (1), standard errors o f the tw o mean
expenditures for poultry are com puted as $0.03 and $0.04 for three-and
four-person families, respectively. Inserting these data into formula (2),
the standard erro r o f the $0.24 difference between the tw o means is
com puted as $0.05. Therefore, the 68-percent confidence interval
around $0.24 is from $0.19 to $0.29, o r $0.24 plus o r minus $0.05; and the
95-percent interval is from $0.14 to $0.34. Since the 95-percent interval
does not include zero, it can be asserted at a 95-percent level o f
confidence that the estimated difference betw een the tw o means is not
an accidental occurrence or the result o f random influence. In other
words, the difference betw een the tw o expenditure means is statistically
significant.
Analyses o f the difference betw een tw o means can also be perform ed
on nondisjoint populations, w here one population is a subset of the
other. T he formula for com puting the standard erro r o f the difference

Data Collection and Processing
C ensus activities
com ponents o f those entries, item allocation routines w ere developed.
A llocations w ere generally, but not always, made using proportions
derived from specific reports in other com pleted diaries.
A t various stages o f BLS processing, frequency distributions were
produced, arraying families into im portant family characteristic classifi
cations. These data w ere m atched against other comparably-defined
data from the C urrent Population Survey, published by the U.S.
D epartm ent o f Commerce. These evaluations led to corrections o f
errors in the diary incomes and to program corrections in the
assignment o f family characteristic codes.
Finally, the income data reported in the diary w ere carefully
inspected for completeness. W hile no im putation was conducted,
incom plete income reports w ere identified and coded. T he value o f
incom e reported from m ajor sources such as wages and salaries, and
incom e from unincorporated business, was cross-referenced w ith re
ports o f weeks w orked by each family member. Families w ere coded as
incom plete reporters if the head reported weeks w orked but failed to
report income from such employment. F o r cases in which the family
head did not work, the procedure was applied to the spouse or other
family members. A num ber o f diaries contained no members who were
em ployed during the income reference period. These were most
typically small families w ith retired heads, and the families were
assigned incom plete income codes if they reported receiving pension,
annuity, or social security income but did not provide dollar reports for
these income items. Similarly, those families reporting no w ork expe
rience but indicating receipt o f nonem ploym ent income such as welfare
benefits or alimony paym ents w ere coded as incomplete income
respondents if no dollar values for such items w ere reported.7
T h e 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey marks the first time in
BLS history that the collection of consum er expenditure data was
contracted out to the U.S. Bureau of the Census. In addition to its
collection duties, the Census Bureau was responsible for field editing
and coding, consistency checking, and quality control. Upon completion
o f these processing activities, the Census Bureau keypunched the
reported information onto com puter tapes. T he information on tapes
was then subjected to com puter program s designed to (a) com pute
weights based on BLS specifications, (b) perform various com puter
edits such as the separation of consumption expenses from business
expenses, and (c) impute values for weeks w orked when nonresponse
was encountered. Finally, a com puter file o f the data base containing
edited data was produced and transm itted to the Bureau o f Labor
Statistics.
BLS activities
A t the BLS, the survey data base was subjected to another series of
processing procedures, including (a) applying appropriate sales taxes, (b)
deriving weekly expenditure means, (c) screening the file for consisten
cy among variables and for invalid coding, and (d) production of
pretabulations o f data by expenditure code to disclose extreme values.
D ue to the very large volume o f data punches in the file, it was not
possible to inspect each individual entry. Thus, only those extreme
values which affected the reasonableness o f aggregate expenditure
distributions w ere inspected. Since only a limited num ber o f corrections
w ere made, the data base may contain unusual entries.
A num ber o f respondent-recorded entries in the diary provided
insufficient detail to meet desired tabulation specifications. F o r example,
some respondents recorded expenditures for “other m eat” instead of
specifying a particular type of meat such as beef or pork. In order to
assign proportions of the value reported for combined entries among the
7The separation of complete from incomplete income reporters is shown in all tables of
this publication that classify families by income. An interesting finding from these tables is
that respondents who provided poor or no income data—about 12 percent of all
respondents—tended to provide scanty expenditure data.
