PREFACE
The Study of Consumer Purchases was directed toward two re
lated objectives. The first was to ascertain the distr bution of fami
lies according to income, occupation, and family composition. The
second was to learn how families of different incomes, occupations,
and family types apportion their expenditures among specific goods
and services, in different parts of the country.
The material presented in the present volume was secured from a
survey conducted in 1936 by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics in cities varying in size and representing different parts of
the country. This survey was paralleled by a study of small city,
village, and farm families conducted by the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics of the United States Department of Agriculture. Both sur
veys which together constitute the Study of Consumer Purchases were
administered under a grant of funds from the Works Progress Admin
istration. The National Resources Committee and the Central
Statistical Board both cooperated in the Nation-wide survey. Tech
nical plans for the Study were developed and the administration of
the survey was coordinated by a technical committee which consisted
of Hildegarde Kneeland, National Resources Committee, chairman;
Faith Williams, Bureau of Labor Statistics; Day Monroe, Bureau
of Home Economics; Milton Forster, Works Progress Administration;
and Samuel J. Dennis, Central Statistical Board.
In selecting the data to be secured and the analyses to be made,
consideration was given to the different interests which may be
served by a study of consumer purchases. Scientific groups as well
as legislative bodies and administrative agencies of the Government
regularly need analyses of family incomes and expenditures to aid them
in the study of such social and economic problems as taxation, social
security, consumer protection, and wage adjustments. The analyses
of general interest have been presented in a series of volumes on income
and expenditures in various regions.
The present volume gives in detail family expenditures for food
for the use of those people who are concerned with the original work
materials. It is one of a series of eight which will present the data
secured in regard to the expenditures of 26,241 families in the cities
covered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the analyses of the
data from the Consumer Purchases Study.

PREFACE
Simultaneous studies of rural and urban family incomes, and the
manner of their disbursement, can shed light on the relative abilities
of farm and city to absorb each other’s products, and on the manner
in which that capacity changes as rural and urban incomes change.1
Welfare agencies are concerned with data bearing on the budgetary
requirements of families in the maintenance of minimum standards of
subsistence. Successful budgeting presupposes some consideration of
the balance habitually maintained by families as between various types
of expenditure. This concern runs not only in terms of gross expendi
tures which have already been shown, but also in terms of such refined
detail as is here presented.
Manufacturers and distributors will utilize the information on
income distribution and consumer preferences in the planning of their
production and sales programs. Their interests are better served by a
knowledge of expenditures for specific commodities than for broad
classes of consumption which have more general interests.
Obviously, any economic program must have, as one fundamental
prerequisite, a definite knowledge of the distribution of families by
incomes and of the choices made by families in the disbursement of their
incomes. The publication of the details of family expenditures at
different income levels and in different parts of the country provides
concrete information as to the point at which families enter the market
for specific types of goods and makes it possible to relate the probable
demand for given commodities and services to changes in income
structure.
In view of the fact that a number of persons outside the Bureau’s
regular staff took part in the investigation, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics wishes to acknowledge the services of the following persons
who served as regional or metropolitan directors of field work: Ruth
Ayres, LeRoy Clements, Rachael S. Gallagher, Forest R. Hall, Sybil
Loughead, Glenn W. Sutton, Margaret D. Thompson, Georges M.
Weber, and Erika Hartmann Wulff.
Acknowledgment is also made to Frances W. Valentine, Jesse R.
Wood, Jr., and William Loudon who were in charge of computation
and tables; Joseph A. Smith, in charge of machine tabulation; Dorothy
McCamman who served as chief check editor; Frank Strohkarck,

stein, Trusten P. Lee, Mary Wyatt Chace, and Allan W. Winsor, who
were in charge of editing and reviewing.

Scope and M ethod of the Study
The data collected in the Urban Series of the Study of Consumer
Purchases are presented in three sets of publications. The first two,
which have been published in a series of two-volume bulletins, pertain
to the distribution of families according to nativity, income, occupa
tional group, family composition, and home tenure; and to the expendi
ture of current income for the major categories of consumption.1
The third set of publications covers the details of expenditures; for
example, the report on food presents not only total expenditures for
food but also the details on expenditure for meals away from home,
and for specific food items, such as white flour and lamb chops.
These details are presented in a series of volumes,2each one containing

the data in tabular form for a certain group of expenditures, such as
those for food or for housing, for all the communities covered by the
Urban Series of the Study of Consumer Purchases.3
The Population Covered
Cities studied.—The cities included in the Consumer Purchases
Study were chosen to represent the metropolis, the large city with a
population from 250,000 to 300,000, the middle-sized city with a
population from 30,000 to 75,000 and the small city with a population
of from 8,000 to 20,000, in 6 different regions of the country. In the
field work the Bureau of Labor Statistics covered all the cities included
in the first 3 groups, and 10 of the small cities. In the analysis
of the results, this Bureau has been responsible for the data from the
cities shown in the following table.4

Since the purpose of the expenditure survey was to determine,
insofar as it is possible to do so, the influence of income, family type,
and occupation upon family spending, it seemed wise not to try to
cover, with the restricted funds available for the investigation, the
total population of each community studied. Instead, certain qualifi
cations were set up, for the purpose of. eliminating so far as possible
the effect of alien customs, economic stress, and broken family ties
which might tend to obscure the factors in family spending which
it was desired to measure.
« Families providing income and expenditure data selected the report year that they preferred, either
the calendar year 1935 or a 12-month period ending in 1936. All data represent family expenditure for a
period of 12 months during 1935-36, except the material pertaining to the details of expenditure for food.
This is based on 1 week’s consumption.

SCOPE AND METHOD
Nativity groups.—
The survey was limited to families in which the
husband and wife were both native born. In New York, Columbus,
and the Southeast, data were obtained not only from white families
but also from Negro families; in the other cities the investigation was
confined to white families.
Income and occupational groups.—In all cities families having
received relief at some time during the year were excluded from the
expenditure survey. The population covered was further restricted
by the omission of nonrelief families with incomes below the levels
which define the customary spending of nonrelief groups. Families
with incomes below $500 in the metropolises, white families with
incomes below $500 in the large cities, and white families with incomes
below $250 in the other cities were omitted. Among Negro families
in Columbus, those with incomes below $250 were likewise excluded.
In most of the cities studied, families in the wage-earner and clerical
groups only were included in the sample at the lowest income levels,
and only families in the business and professional groups, at the upper
levels, since the families in these groups were considered most repre
sentative of the extremes of the income scale.
For purposes of this study, families were classified into six major
occupational groups: Wage earner, clerical, independent business,
independent professional, salaried business, and salaried professional.
The occupational classification of a family was determined by the
major source of earnings, whether contributed by one or more
members.

FAMILY EXPENDITURE IN SELECTED CITIES
Data secured from families with no gainfully, employed members,
which formed a very small proportion of all families in the selected
random sample, were not included in the summary of the details of
expenditures. A special study of the expenditures of families with
no gainfully employed members was made for Chicago, for Columbus
white families, and for families in the East Central middle-sized
cities. For this material, see volume II of Bulletins Nos. 642 and 644.
The lower and upper limits of the income range at which families
in different occupational groups were studied is shown in the table
on table 3.
Family type groups.—Only families of the relatively more frequent
types were included in the sample eligible for the expenditure sched
ule. For the purpose of distinguishing the expenditure patterns of
the predominant family-composition groups, the following types
were defined (see fig. 1):
Fa m ily type
Com position
I Husband and wife (families of 2 persons).
II Husband and wife, and one child under 16 years (families of 3
persons).
III Husband and wife, and 2 children under 16 years (families of 4
persons).
IV Husband, wife, one person 16 years or over, and one or no other
person, regardless of age (families of 3 or 4 persons).
V Husband, wife, and one child under 16 years, one person 16 years
or over, and 1 or 2 other persons, regardless of age (families
of 5 or 6 persons).
VI Husband, wife, and 3 or 4 children under 16 years (families of 5 or 6
persons).
VII Husband, wife, one child under 16 years and 4 or 5 other persons,
regardless of age (families of 7 or 8 persons).
These seven family types were studied in Chicago, in the white
sample in the three East Central city units, and in the Atlanta
Negro sample. Elsewhere, the funds available for the expenditure
survey made it necessary to restrict the coverage to families of the
first five types only.
Other eligibility requirements.—The expenditure survey was further
restricted by excluding a few families for the following reasons:
1. The family did not occupy a home in the community for at least 9 months
of the schedule year.
2. The family moved from one dwelling unit to another between the end of
the schedule year and the date of the interview.
3. The family did not have access to housekeeping facilities for at least 9
months of the schedule year.
4. The family had more than the equivalent of one roomer and/or boarder in
the household for 52 weeks of the report year.
5. The family had more than the equivalent of one guest for 26 weeks.

FAMILY EXPENDITURE IN SELECTED CITIES
Sampling Procedures
Expenditure schedule.—The collection of data on family expendi
tures and family living requires more than ordinary skill and is a
time-consuming process. In the interests of economy it was neces
sary to develop special procedures in order that the families covered
might constitute a representative sample of the population included.
Income is the most important single factor influencing expenditure.
Since there are no directories of families by income, it was necessary in
the first place to secure a random cross section, by income, of the families
that might be included in the expenditure survey in each community.
The percentage coverage of households for the random sample was
determined in large part by the size of the community. The random
sample for New York was equivalent to 4 percent of all families;
for Chicago, to 10 percent. For the six large cities, this sample repre
sented a 20 to 50 percent coverage; and in the middle-sized and small
cities, 50 to 100 percent of the families were interviewed to obtain
a minimum of information necessary to identify and classify the
family. This random sample (the record-card sample) in which
data were obtained from about 625,000 families, made it possible to
ascertain the distribution of the families in the whole community
by nativity, color, and family type composition. From those fami
lies which met specified requirements as regards these three items,
additional information was secured relating to income, occupation,
family composition, and home tenure.
From this random sample, there was determined the number of
families eligible for the expenditure schedule on the basis of the eligi
bility requirements described above (see pp. 3 and 4 for the color groups,
occupation, income groups, and family types covered in each area).
In order to hold the number of expenditure schedules to a minimum
and at the same time to secure adequate information for types of
family that are found infrequently in the community, it was decided
to secure detailed expenditure data from an approximately equal
number of families in the eligible group, for each family type group
within each occupational class at each income interval. Families
which were similar in respect to these three controls were taken to
represent an expenditure pattern unit, or “cell.” So far as prac
ticable, the goal in Chicago, the East Central cities (white sample),
and Atlanta (Negro sample) was to schedule 10 families to represent
each cell in each tabulation unit. In the case of the other city units
the goal was to schedule 6 families for every cell. In each case the
families scheduled as regards expenditures were drawn as a random
sample of the families listed as eligible for scheduling in a given “cell.”
It can be seen from table 1 that the number of families from which
data were secured was much larger in some cases than in others;
that it was much larger, for instance, at the middle income levels than
SCOPE AND METHOD
7
at either the top or the bottom of the income scale. It will be seen, too,
that despite the special efforts made in the sampling process, some occupa
tional groups and family types are much better represented than others.
The discrepancies between the number of schedules secured and the
general goal may be attributed to several factors,5 the most important
5 Another obstacle to an exact control of the number of expenditure schedules in each cell resulted from
shifts in the cell classification of families after the detailed interview on expenditure data. The income
class in which the family was classified on the basis of the relatively short family schedule interview did not
always correspond with the income class in which the family fell on the basis of the interview for expendi
tures. The shifts arose partly from the fact that the methods of computing income differed slightly for the
two schedules, and partly from the fact that sources of income which the family had forgotten to mention
to the agent obtaining the family schedule data occasionally came to light in the course of the long interview
in connection with the discussion of expenditures.
Because of the extensive coverage of the family income survey, it was necessary to keep the time of the
family schedule interview as short as possible. On that account information on the expenses of an owned
home other than interest payments was not obtained from the families covered in the large random sample.
Therefore, in estimating nonmoney income from home ownership for the income report, it was necessary
to resort to a table of estimated average expenses at given rental values. During the expenditure interview,
however, figures were obtained on expenses such as taxes, repairs, special assessments, and insurance and
thus a revised figure on the nonmoney income from owned home was computed by subtracting the a ctu a l
rather than the estim a ted expenses.
Similarly, for families having boarders the income figure on the family schedule included the estim a te d
net income from boarders after deductions had been made for the cost of food; these deductions varied with
the amount of the payment for board and were estimated on the basis of data secured in the Bureau of Labor
Statistics study of the money disbursements of wage earners and clerical workers. At the time of the ex
penditure schedule interview, detailed information was obtained on the food expenditures of the family,
from which it was possible to compute more accurately the money expense for boarders’ food, and thus to
gage more correctly the net income from boarders.
No attempt was made at the time of the family schedule interview to determine nonmoney income from
an owned vacation home. This figure was obtained, however, from information secured during the expendi
ture interview, and is included in the income figure by which families in the controlled sample were classified.
Furthermore, rent received as a gift is not included in the income figure of the family schedule but it was
taken into account in deriving the income code of families giving expenditure data.
Changes in the family type of classification also resulted from the longer interview—chiefly because of
differences in the definition of the economic family. Whereas all related persons living under the same
roof, or eating at least two meals daily with the family whose in co m e could be ascertained were included in
coding the family type for purposes of the family schedule tabulation, only persons dependent on a common
family fund whose e x p en d itu re s could also be ascertained were regarded as members of the economic family
in the controlled sample. The discrepancies in the codes resulting from these differences, however, were
negligible; For example, less than 1 percent of all Chicago families from which expenditure data were
secured were classified in a different family type by the two procedures.
The shifts in occupational code resulting from the longer interview also were relatively infrequent.
Aside from the effect of discrepancies arising from different definitions of the economic family, the longer
interview brought to light additional facts concerning the net earnings of various family members. Detailed
information on automobile expenditure, for example, occasionally revealed a different, and more accurate,
figure for occupational expenses than that which had been deducted when reporting the net earnings of
family members in the family schedule interview.
In the process of obtaining the last schedule needed to complete a cell according to the basic plan, it some
times happened that two or more field agents secured complete schedules where only one had been required.
Since these schedules added to the reliability of the averages for the given cells, it was decided to make use
of all the completed schedules which fell within the income, occupation, and family type limits set for the
investigation.
The shifts in cells had another effect which, though not numerically very important, made some difficulty
in preparing the basic tabulations; namely, expenditure schedules appeared in cells for which no weights
were available since no eligible cases had been classified in these cells in the tabulation of the random sample.
It was decided to give cells in which no random sample schedules were secured but in which expenditure
schedules appeared a weight equivalent to the number of expenditure schedules appearing in the tabulations.
These arbitrary weights would tend to make the number of families in the city appear greater than was
actually found but counterbalancing these added weights was the fact that a number of cells which con
tained eligible cases in the random sample had no expenditure schedules, and thus were not utilized.
The above discussion of changes in cell code has been presented primarily to give the reader some insight
into the type of problems involved in obtaining equal numbers of cases in each cell in the controlled sample.
Since the final code for the family type, income, and occupational group was prepared during the final office
edit of an expenditure schedule, it was inevitable that changes would tend to increase the number of schedules
in some cells and decrease others.
8
FAMILY EXPENDITURE IN SELECTED CITIES
of which was the fact that families of specified types at certain income
levels were not sufficiently numerous to yield the desired number of
schedules. Furthermore, not all families from which expenditure
data were desired contributed the information. Some had moved
out of the city, others could not be found at home, while still others
were unable or unwilling to give the detailed information requested.
Of the schedules which were secured, a number had to be discarded
because of inconsistency, incompleteness, or unreliability of data shown.
For some of the cells the random sample did not furnish a sufficient
number of cases to permit computation of reliable averages for the
expenditure patterns of the families. For example, in a 10-percent
sample of Chicago families there were only four salaried professional
families with incomes of $1,750 to $2,000 and with three or four
children under 16. In this case and others like it an effort was made
to locate more families of the type required in the cell by a process of
stratified sampling, as for example by canvassing lists of doctors,
lawyers, and similar professional people. Even with the use of the
stratified sample, however, some of the cells did not have the desired
minimum of families, and therefore had to be combined with con
tiguous cells to give a somewhat broader classification for analysis than
had originally been contemplated.

SCOPE AND METHOD
Supplementary schedules (check lists for food, clothing, and furnishings
and equipment).— All the families which furnished expenditure sched
ules were also asked to give detailed data concerning weekly consump
tion of food at home, expenditures for specific items of clothing for
the different members of the family, and expenditures for specific
items of furnishings and equipment. The population represented in
the controlled sample was thus the same for the check lists as for the
expenditure schedule; and these supplementary schedules were classi
fied in the same income—
family-type—
occupation groups as the
corresponding expenditure schedules.
The number of check lists per cell was smaller in some cases than
the number of expenditure schedules. Some families were unable to
supply the necessary information (quantity, price, and value or expen
diture) for the specified items; and others were unable to spend the
time needed to complete the check lists. Because of an insufficient
number of check lists, no tabulations on individual items of food con
sumed were prepared for the Negro families in the New York C ityColumbus unit. Further, in the case of clothing check lists for indi
vidual members of the family, data were obtained in many instances
for some members of the family but not for all. For example, clothing
expenditure by items might be reported by the wife for herself and
for children under 16 years of age in the family, but for her husband
in some cases she gave only his total clothing expenditure. The fol
lowing table shows the number of supplementary schedules used in
the tabulation.

(Bull. No. 648); the number of persons for whom clothing expendi
tures were reported is given in tables 1-B and 1-C of volume II I;
and the number of families represented in the tabulations of the fur

Method of Securing Averages
C om bin ation s o f c itie s .— As noted above, the cities included in this
study were selected to represent the various geographic sections, and
size of city groups in the country. Data are presented for the two
metropolitan and six large cities separately. The two or three middlesized cities in each geographic area 7 were combined as a unit, when
analyzing the data from the expenditure schedule.
There were two main reasons for combining the data for the middlesized cities, and for the small cities, in each region. In the first place,
the number of schedules secured in each of these communities was
necessarily smaller than in the case of the metropolitan centers and
the large cities. These small numbers made some combinations
necessary in order to secure reliable averages, particularly since it was
desired to analyze part of the data by occupational group or by family
type as well as by income level. In the second place, the middle-sized
cities and the small cities were selected as representative of the
different community types predominating in the regions in which they
were located. Significant figures on expenditures by families of given
income, family type, and occupation could best be secured for com
munities with population under 70,000 persons by combining into one
set of figures the data secured for all cities of a given size in each area.
With the tabulation of the data as outlined above, it is possible to
make analysis of regional differences in the data secured, as well as of
differences growing out of varying degrees of urbanization.
Due to the smaller number of families supplying data on the details
of food, clothing, and furnishings and equipment purchases, and to the
variety of items covered, further combinations were made when
analyzing the supplementary schedules, as follows:
White families
New York City and Chicago.
New England and East Central, 2 large and 5 middle-sized cities.
New England and East Central, 9 small cities.
Southeast, 1 large and 2 middle-sized cities.
West Central and Rocky Mountain, 2 large and 4 middle-sized
cities.
Pacific Northwest, 1 large and 3 middle-sized cities.
7 The geographic sections used are Northeast (i. e., New England and New York City). East Central,
Southeast, West Central, Rocky Mountain, and Pacific Northwest.
SCOPE AND METHOD
Negro families
Southeast, 1 large and 2 middle-sized cities.
New York City and Columbus, Ohio (except for food).

Combinations of occupations and family types.—The number of
occupational groups differentiated in the tabulation of the data from
the expenditure schedules varied with the number of families in the
given groups. Data for the six major occupational groups (wageearner, clerical, independent business, independent professional,
salaried business, and salaried professional) were tabulated separately
for the white sample in the metropolitan centers. Five occupational
groups were differentiated among white families for the large cities,
with families in the two self-employed groups pooled; four groups
were tabulated for white families in the middle-sized cities by further
pooling the two salaried groups; only three groups were differentiated
for the small cities, with all business and professional families con
sidered as a unit. In the case of Negro families, the two independent
groups and the two salaried groups, respectively, were pooled for
Atlanta; families in the four business and professional groups were
pooled for New York and Columbus; and only two groups, wageearner and all other, were differentiated for the Southeastern middlesized cities.
As noted above, expenditure schedules were obtained from families of
seven types in Chicago, the East Central city units (white sample), and
Negro families in Atlanta. For these units the sample was selected
to be large enough to present data for seven family types separately.
In other regions where only five family types were covered and the
sample was smaller, averages are presented for only three type groups:
type I, types II and III combined, and types IV and V combined.
Three occupational groups were distinguished for the tabulation
of the check lists for the white families in the metropolitan, large, and
middle-sized cities—namely, wage-earner, clerical, and business and
professional. In the small cities only two occupational groups were
used—wage-earner and all others.
Expenditures for items of food, clothing, and furnishings and
equipment vary so greatly from family to family that it is necessary
to use a larger number of cases in obtaining averages for these items
than is required when securing averages for family expenditures for
broader categories. On account of this the income classes were
combined into $500 and $1,000 groups in presenting the check-list
data.
In order to secure occupational homogeneity within these broader
income classes, the income ranges covered in the check-list data are
somewhat different from those covered in the data from the main
expenditure schedule. (See table on p. 3.) In the tables giving
the details on expenditures of white families for food, clothing, and
12
FAMILY EXPENDITURE IN SELECTED CITIES
furnishings and equipment in New York City, Chicago, and the large
cities, the clerical group is first represented in the income class,
$1,000-$1,499; and the business and professional group in the class,
$1,500-$1,999. No data are presented for white families with in
comes less than $500. In the Negro sample in Atlanta, clerical,
business and professional families are first represented in the income
class, $500-$999.
Family type groups were pooled for all white families as follows:
Type I, types II and III, types IV and V, and types VI and VII in
those areas where such were eligible.8
In the analyses of the data from the clothing check lists for persons
other than husbands and wives in each sex-age group, all occupational
and family type groups were pooled within each income class in all
tabulation units (for both white and Negro families).
Because of the relatively small number of check lists secured from
Negro families, all occupational and family type groups were pooled
within each income class in the tabulations of the three check lists.
The weighting 'process.—Since the design of the Study called for an
equal number of cases in each income-family-type-occupation
group, it was necessary to weight the data for each “cell” by its
frequency in the total population represented by the survey. That is,
in order to secure averages which adequately represent the whole
group of families at a given income level, the simple averages for
families of a given type within each occupational group were multi
plied by the number of eligible families in the given cell. The sum
of these products at any income level was then divided by the total
number of eligible families at that level to secure the desired averages.
The figures showing percentages of families at successive income
levels reporting expenditures for the various items were derived from
the simple percentages in each cell. These were then multiplied by
the number of eligible families in the given cell; and the resulting
products after being totaled for each income class, were divided by
the total number of eligible families at the given level. Similar pro
cedures were followed when computing percentages and average
expenditures for specified family type groups at each income level.
That is, the products described above for each cell were totaled by
family type-income groups; and were then divided by the corre
sponding total number of eligible families.
Two exceptions to the weighting process just described have already
been noted in connection with tabulations based on the check lists.9
The data shown for all Negro families in such tables represent un8 See p. 4 for family types covered in the different cities.
6 The tables involved are as follows: Tables 4 and 5, vol- II (Bull. No. 648); tables 4, 5, 6, vol. Ill; and
tables 5 and 6, vol. IV,
SCOPE AND METHOD
13
weighted percentages and averages, that is, since all occupational
and family type groups were pooled within an income class (because
of the relatively small number of check lists), data for all Negro families
are simple percentages and averages at each income level. No weights
to give effect to the relative proportions of the family type and occu
pational groups were applied to the figures. Further, all data per
taining to the details of clothing expenditure for persons other than
husbands and wives are unweighted, and are presented as simple
percentages or averages. As before, it was necessary to combine all
occupational and family type groups because of the relatively small
sample.
Except where specifically stated to the contrary, the averages are
based on all families in any given group without regard to the pro
portion reporting expenditures on the specific item concerned.
Average expenditures at a given income level for those families which
reported an expenditure may be computed by dividing the averages
based on all families by the corresponding percentage of families
reporting an expenditure for the given item.
Averages are presented whenever three or more families furnished
an expenditure schedule, although perhaps only one or two families
reported an expenditure for the specific item shown. If, for instance,
only two families were covered in a given family type-income group
in some city or group of cities for which averages are shown, no average
is shown for that family type-income group. (The figures for such
families are included in any over-all averages.) If, however, five
families were scheduled, but only two of them reported expenditure
for meals at school, for example, during the schedule year, data are
shown for the average expenditure for meals at school.
To secure an estimate of the expenditure among the eligible fam
ilies in any tabulation unit for any specified item of expenditure over
a wider income range than that presented in these tables, the average
amounts, based on all families scheduled at each income level, may
be multiplied by the number of eligible families shown at the cor
responding income level (table 1). The sum of these products will
furnish an estimate of aggregate amounts; and division of this aggre
gate by the total number of eligible families in the income classes
combined will give an estimate of the average amount per family
over the new range.
It must be emphasized, however, that these data refer only to the
eligible families, that is, the native white or Negro nonrelief families
containing both husband and wife, and meeting the other eligibility
requirements outlined in the sampling section above and within the
income ranges shown on page 3. No data were secured concerning
the disbursements of families other than those which met the eligi
bility requirements set up for the investigation.
Explanation of Tables in Tabular Summary
Table 1. Number of Families
Table 1 presents the number of families eligible for the expenditure
study and the number reporting on expenditures. The data are
shown by income class, by family type and income class, and by
occupation and income class in the cities covered, as grouped for
analysis of the data from the expenditure schedule—16 city groups
for white families, and 4 for Negro families.
The “Number of eligible families” as shown in section A was used
as the weights when combining the data for the various family types
and occupational groups within each income class.1 Although the
size of sample varied in the different communities, the figures in sec
tion A are stated in terms of a 100-percent coverage.2 It is necessary
to express the weights on a comparable basis so that combinations of
the data may be made by geographic areas or by income groups, if
desired.
Section B indicates the number of families reporting on expendi
tures. As stated in the Introduction those families having no gain
fully employed members have not been included in the figures in this
section nor in the remainder of the tables in the volume.
Table 1-A. Number of Families
Table 1-A shows for the city groups studied in the tabulation
of the check lists the number of families eligible for the expenditure
study and the number reporting the details of food consumption at
home. In order to show seasonal differences and to clarify inter
regional comparisons the families completing check lists were divided
into two groups—those which reported food consumption for one
week during the period of May through August, and those which re
ported during the period September through November. No sup
plementary schedules were obtained for other seasons. The week
covered by the food check list was that immediately preceding the
field agent’s interview with the homemaker, and since the field col
lection work of the expenditure survey did not extend over the other
months of the year, no data were secured for the period December
through April.
1 See the discussion on sampling in the Introduction, p. 6.
2 The data for New York City are stated in terms of a 100-percent coverage of families in census tracts
in which more than one-third of all the families were native born; these tracts include approximately 82
percent of native families in the city.
14
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
15
The occupational and family type distributions of families com
pleting food check lists are presented in this table.
The numbers of eligible families as shown in the left-hand section
of the table were used as the weights when combining the data for
the various family type and occupational groups within each income
class for the white sample.3 Although the size of the sample varied
in the different communities, the figures in this section are stated in
terms of the total number of eligible families in each geographic area,
that is, in terms of a 100-percent coverage.4 It is necessary to express
the weights on a comparable basis so that additional combinations of
the data may be made by income groups, if desired.
The right-hand section of the table indicates the number of families
reporting the details of consumption of food at home for one week.
Table 2. Adjusted Income and Expenditure
Adjusted income and expenditure are shown in table 2 in the same
detail as the data on number of families in table 1. Adjusted income,
section A, represents money income, nonmoney income from housing,
plus the value of food and fuel received without money expenditure.6
The expenditure figures in section B represent money expenditure plus
the value of housing, food, and fuel received without money expendi
ture; that is, these three items have been considered as part of the
value of current family living, the total current expenditure of the
family for the year. Data on the value of the clothing, and other
items, received without direct money expenditure were not obtained
from all families and hence it was impossible to include them in
either the income or expenditure figures.
Table 3. Food
The average value of all family food, average expenditure for food
purchased for consumption at home and away from home, and the
average value of food received without money expenditure are pre
sented in table 3. In addition, the average expenditure per meal per
food expenditure unit is shown. Expenditures for such items as ice
cream, candy, soft drinks, beer, and alcoholic beverages are included
here. Cod-liver and haliver oils were also considered as food; however,
certain nonfood articles which are frequently purchased in grocery
stores, such as cleaning supplies, matches, soap, tobacco, and food for
pets were excluded from this category. All data in table 3 came
from the expenditure schedule.
3 As mentioned in the Introduction, the data for the Negro families were not weighted.
4 See footnote 2, p. 14.
« Families were classified into income groups according to the amount of their money income plus non
money income from housing. The amount of income received by most city families in terms of food and fuel
is very small, and no information on income of this type was secured on the income (family) schedule used
with the large random sample.
16
FAMILY EXPENDITURE IN SELECTED CITIES
Expenditures for all food purchased from family funds were recorded
whether served to family members, guests, servants, or boarders.
However, the amount spent for food served to boarders (derived
through the use of the average expense per meal per equivalent adult)
was deducted from total expenditure for food at home, so that the
figures shown represent net family expense.
A distinction was made between food purchased to be prepared at
home, and food purchased and eaten away from home. (See dis
cussion below.)
The data in this table are presented for families of all the types and
occupational groups covered, combined at successive income levels,
and also for each family type group by income.6 Averages com
puted for each income class, and for each family type group within
each income class, are based on the total number of families scheduled
in that group without regard to the proportion of families reporting
an expenditure for a particular item.
A verage value of all fa m ily fo o d . —The value of all family food in
cludes expenditure for all food purchased and value of food received
without money expenditure.
F ood at hom e. —Food at home included food purchased to be pre
pared at home, whether eaten at home or away from home. In the
latter group were home-prepared unches for work, school, or picnics.
Expenditures for coffee, milk, or other food bought at work or school
to supplement the home-prepared lunches were classified with expendi
ture for food away from home.
Food purchased to be prepared in a vacation home occupied by the
family was considered as expense for food at home.
As mentioned above, the figures shown here represent net family
expense for food at home as the amounts spent for food served to
boarders was deducted from total expenses for food.
F ood a w a y fro m hom e. —Expenditures for food away from home
represent amounts spent for the following items: Meals at work and
at school (except food carried from home), including board at school;
meals while traveling or on vacation (except food prepared in a vaca
tion home), and meals purchased on a business trip for which there
was no reimbursement by an employer; other meals eaten out; and
ice cream, candy, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages consumed
away from home.
Expense for food away from home necessarily included in many
cases expense for service and entertainment as well as food costs
proper.
A verage value o f fo o d hom e-produced or received w ith ou t m on ey ex
p en se. —A value was placed on food which was raised for family
consumption or given to the family as a gift or in lieu of cash pay9 See p. 3 for statement of family types covered for each tabulation unit.

EXPLANATION OF TABLES
ment for services. All such food was evaluated at the retail price
prevailing in the community. No deductions from the evaluation
of home-produced food were made for the cost of seeds and imple
ments or for the value or cost of labor. If members of the family
received a substantial number of free meals as guests in excess of the
number of meals furnished to guests (not counting house guests,
since they were treated as members of the household though not of
the economic family, for the period of their stay), the value of
meals so received in excess of those furnished was tabulated.
An evaluation was made of meals which were furnished to members
of the family without charge by the employer or paid for from expense
accounts. Persons obtaining such food include salesmen reimbursed
for meals taken while traveling, students working for their board at
school, and restaurant and hotel workers who received meals as part
of their pay.
Likewise, if the owner of a store or an employee brought home food,
which he received at his place of business without money payment,
such food was evaluated at local retail prices and included in the
total value of food received without direct money expense. However,
if the store proprietor charged himself for food which he brought
home regularly for family consumption, the retail value of such food
was added to his money earnings and the goods were entered as pur
chases in the subsection for food at home.
Average money expenditure per meal per food expenditure unit.—In
recognition of the variations in quantity, and thus in expense, of food
consumption among persons of different ages, the following scale of
relative requirements for various persons served from the family food
supply was adopted:7
A g e o f p e rso n
R e la tiv e food

20 years of age and over__________________________________ 1. 0
13 to 19 years____________________________________________ 1. 1
6 to 12 years_____________________________________________ . 9
Under 6 years___________________________________
These relatives were applied whether the person was a member of the
economic family or a boarder, guest, or domestic servant. The
relative factor applied to nurses for the sick was 0.9. The term
“equivalent adult” is used as representing one food expenditure unit.
It was assumed that 21 meals per week were eaten by each member
of the economic family during that portion of the report year spent
at home. For other members of the household (boarders, house
guests, household help, and nurses) the actual number of meals eaten
was ascertained. The average expenditure per meal per equivalent

Department of Agriculture, which furnished information on standard food allowances, based on actual
food expense records, differentiated by age, sex, and activity.

person was derived by dividing the total family food expense (after
subtraction of expense for food eaten while traveling or on vacation)
by the total number of equivalent person meals.
In order to determine the expense for meals served to boarders, the
average expenditure per meal per food expenditure unit was multi
plied by the total number of meals served to boarders; the resulting
sum was deducted from the total family expense for food at home.
Tables 4 and 5.
Weekly Consumption of Food at Home
Tables 4 and 5 present data from the food check lists. The food
check list afforded a means of determining and recording the quantity
and money value of foods used during the 7 days preceding the
day on which the check list was filled in. Total consumption of food
prepared at home (whether purchased, home-produced, or received
as gift or pay; and whether eaten at home or away from home) was
included; that is, food served guests, boarders, and household help, as
well as that eaten by members of the economic family. The number
of families supplying food check lists is shown in table 1-A.
Depending on the date of interview, the check lists were divided into
two groups—those covering 1 week during the period May through
August and those prepared during September, October, and No
vember. It would have been desirable to have obtained food check
lists for other months, but the field collection work of these schedules
did not extend over the other months.
Money value.—The expense for, or money value of, food consumed
during the week covered by the check list was calculated for each
family from the quantity used and the unit price or value.8 If more
than one purchase of a particular item was made at different prices,
each price was reported.
The price for each item of food consumed was entered in terms of
the unit in which the food was ordinarily purchased. In the case
of a special group price, the entry was as follows:
Item
Quantity used last
7 days
Price or value per
unit
Evaporated milk _______ ___________ __ 5 14V6-oz. cans_______ 3 cans for $0.17
Money
value or
expense
$0. 28
The price of home-canned food which was eaten during the week was
estimated in the editing process, on the basis of ingredients used.
The money value of food home-produced or received as gift or pay
was determined by the editors by reference to local retail prices.
8 See Introduction for discussion of weighting process.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
19
No tabulations have been made showing distribution of foods con
sumed by unit prices paid. The average money value per unit of
quantity can be computed for items in which “Average quantity con
sumed” is shown in table 5. The average money value of food con
sumed during the week as entered in section B should be divided by
the “Average quantity consumed.”
Quantity consumed.—The amount of each item of food used by the
family during the seven days covered by the check list was recorded.
“Used” was interpreted to mean eaten or thrown away as waste or
spoiled food. Food prepared but not eaten during the period covered
was not included. For example, the ingredients of a cake baked the
last day of the period and not eaten were not reported as consumed.
If, however, half of the cake was eaten during the period, half of the
ingredients were reported as consumed. Food canned at home was
not considered as used until it was eaten.
Neither food prepared to give away, as for church suppers, nor food
purchased especially for pets, was included as part of the food con
sumption of the family. The first was recorded under contributions
to religious organizations and the second under “Pets” in the recreation
section. If, on the other hand, pets were fed left-overs from the
table, this food was necessarily included.
The quantity of each item of food used was entered on the schedule
in terms of the unit in which the food was ordinarily purchased—
pound, can, or dozen. The consumption of certain types of food,
however, as sugar, flour, and cereals, could be more easily estimated
in terms of some other unit of measure than the one in which the
food was purchased. In such cases, consumption was reported in
terms of standard measuring cups, and the price or value was reported
in terms of the unit in which purchase was made. The money value
of consumption was then calculated as part of the editing process.
Some articles, such as salt and spices, were used in such small
quantities that it was not practical to report quantities.
Whenever it was known, the weight of the unit of customary pur
chase was recorded. This applied to such units as loaves of bread
and cans of peaches. Home-canned food was entered under canned
food when used, and the quantity was estimated in pints or quarts.
In order to tabulate the data in terms of quantity consumed, a unit
of measure was adopted for each item. This unit was the one most
frequently reported in each case. When a family had reported con
sumption in other units, conversion was made into the standard unit
by means of a conversion table. Quantities of tea consumed, for
instance, were tabulated in terms of an 8-ounce package. If the
family reported purchase in terms of a pound package, the quantity
consumed was converted, in the editing process, to fractions of an
8-ounce package.
20
FAMILY EXPENDITURE IN SELECTED CITIES
Although a check list was not accepted for tabulation unless the
family reported the total expense or value, during the week covered,
for each item, it was accepted if quantity consumed was not reported.
Figures in table 5 on average quantities consumed are therefore based
on the assumption that the quantity consumed by the families which
reported value but not quantity was the same as the average quantity
consumed by the families in the same cell which did report quantity.

lists for the two seasons showing for 29 types of food in 6 major groups
the percentage of families reporting consumption and the average
money value of food consumed. Data are presented for all families
at successive income levels with family type and occupational groups
combined. Averages are based on all families in the income class com
pleting food check lists, without regard to the proportion reporting
consumption of a particular food. The average value of the food con
sumed during a week by families reporting consumption may be com
puted by dividing the average presented in the table for all families by
the corresponding percentage of families reporting consumption.
It should be pointed out that the percentages shown in the “Total”
columns do not represent an arithmetic sum of the percentages of the
subgroups, but rather the percentage of families reporting consump
tion during 1 week of one or more of the items in the group.
The food items included under each group shown in this summary
are presented in table 5, and so it is unnecessary to make detailed ex
planations of such items here.
Table 5. Weekly Consumption of Food at Home
Information secured from the food check lists on the consumption
of 167 food items is presented in table 5. The percentage of families
reporting consumption, the average money value of food consumed,
and, for many items, the average quantity consumed during 1 week
are shown for families at successive income levels with family type and
occupational groups combined.9
Averages have been computed at each income level for all families
furnishing food check lists whether or not all families reported con
sumption of a given item. Average money value of food consumed
and the average quantity consumed may be determined for those fami
lies which reported consumption by dividing the average figures shown
in sections B and C for all families by the corresponding percentages
in section A.
9 Family type and occupational groups were pooled in each income class when preparing the tables for
Negro families in the Southeast region.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
21
As stated in the general discussion of the food check list, the aver
age money value per unit of quantity of food consumed can be com
puted by dividing the figures in section B, “Average money value of
food consumed/’ by the corresponding data in section C, “Average
quantity consumed.” (Average quantities consumed have not been
computed for those items in which it was impossible to express the
unit in terms of a common factor.)
As in table 4 the percentages shown in the “Total” columns of
section A are not arithmetic sums of the percentages for the specific
items, but rather represent the proportion of families reporting con
sumption of any one or more of the items in the section.
The following items in this table need further explanation:
Beefy other.—Other beef included such beef parts as hearts, kidneys,
tongues, and tripe.
Veal, other.—Other veal included such veal parts as sweetbreads,
hearts, kidneys, calves’ liver, and tongues.
Mutton and lamb, other.—Other mutton and lamb included such
parts as kidneys, liver, and loin.
Fresh pork, other.—Other fresh pork included fresh hams, shoulder,
fresh pigs’ feet, spareribs, and pigs’ liver.
Smoked or cured pork, other.—Other smoked or cured pork included
spiced pork and such parts as “Canadian bacon,” smoked butts,
pickled hearts, and pickled feet.
Other meats, other.—Game was included here; also parts such as
tongue and sweetbreads when it was not known whether they were
beef, veal, lamb, or pork.
Sea food.—Frozen fish and eel were entered as fresh fish. Cured
fish included smoked herring and salmon, finnan haddie, snails, turtles,
etc. Other sea food included oysters, clams, shrimp, etc., and was
classified as to fresh or frozen, and canned.
Fresh vegetables, other.—Fresh vegetables as brussels sprouts, cauli
flower, broccoli, corn, cucumbers, eggplants, endive, lima beans, par
snips, peppers, radishes, and squash were included here.
Canned vegetables, other.—Canned beets, hominy, pumpkin, sauer
kraut, lima beans, spinach, succotash, etc., were included here.
Dried vegetables, other.—Dried corn and beans (not navy or lima)
were included in this item.
Fresh fruit, other.—Other fresh fruit included pineapples, apricots,
cherries, grapes, plums, avocados, rhubarb, etc.
Canned fruit, other.—Such canned fruits as grapefruit, cherries,
plums, fruit salad, etc., were considered under this item.

cracked wheat and any bread containing less than 50 percent whole
wheat flour. Such items as rolls, cookies, pastry, and doughnuts,
which were purchased were considered as other baked goods.
Flour, cereals, and other grain products, other.—Such grain products
as popcorn, and prepared cake, biscuit, and pancake flour were
included here.
Miscellaneous foods.—The money value of baking powder, soda,
yeast, salt, vinegar, spices, and extracts for which no break-down was
recorded has been included in the average money value shown for
“Total miscellaneous foods.” Miscellaneous canned foods included
such items as mince meat, chicken and noodles, and canned corned
beef hash. Other miscellaneous foods included proprietary foods and
cooked foods not elsewhere specified, such as baked beans in bulk, and
salads.

Appendix A
Classifications and Definitions of Terms— Glossary
The following glossary of terms is limited to those classifications
and definitions needing general explanation for the tabular material
on the detail of expenditures. Specific notes pertaining to individual
items appear in the section of this volume “Explanation of Tables.”
Items appearing on the expenditure schedule which are not discussed
in the present volume are omitted from the glossary.
Any system of classifying goods and services necessarily has certain
limitations and may not meet the needs of all groups or agencies which
utilize the data. The classification adopted for the Study of Con
sumer Purchases is in substance one that has been found useful in other
studies and which thus has the advantage of yielding comparable
data. Since the uses to which specific goods may be put by con
sumers vary considerably from family to family and even within the
family circle, depending upon a multiplicity of factors, the decisions
to classify commodities in one category rather than another were
necessarily arbitrary. The classifications determined upon have,
however, been applied consistently throughout the tabulations.
Specific definitions of terms should be prefaced by the explanation
that, whenever a sales tax was enforced in a particular community
during the period covered by the Study, the estimated total amount
of sales tax paid for each taxable item appearing on the schedule was
added to the total expense for the item.
Family.—For purposes of the Study of Consumer Purchases, an
economic family was defined as a group of persons belonging to the
same household and dependent upon a common income.1 Expendi
ture data were secured only from families including both a husband
and a wife.
Family type.—Families were classified, according to the number and
age of members, in one of seven types, as follows: 2

I Husband and wife (families of 2 persons).
II Husband and wife, and one child under 16 years (families of
3 persons).
III Husband and wife, and 2 children under 16 years (families of 4 ’
persons).
IV Husband, wife, and person 16 years or over, and one or no other
person, regardless of age (families of 3 or 4 persons).
V Husband, wife, one child under 16 years, one person 16
years or over, and one or 2 other persons, regardless of age
(families of 5 or 6 persons).
VI Husband, wife, and 3 or 4 children under 16 years (families of
5 or 6 persons).
VII Husband, wife, one child under 16 years, and 4 or 5 other per*
sons, regardless of age (families of 7 or 8 persons).
The above family types are based upon the equivalent number of
persons under 16 years of age and the equivalent number 16 years or
over in the economic family during the year. By the use of a conver
sion table the number of weeks of membership of persons in the eco
nomic family for only a portion of the schedule year is expressed in
terms of equivalent members. If the economic family contained in
addition to the married couple, only one person who was a member for
26 weeks or less, he was not regarded as an equivalent member; had
he been in the family for 27 weeks he would have been classified as
one equivalent member. If two persons, both of whom were under
16 years, were members of the economic family for a total of from 27
weeks through 78 weeks, together they counted as one equivalent
member; had there been members for a total of from 79 through 130
weeks, they would have been counted as two equivalent members.
The same method of computation applied to persons 16 and over.
If, however, the family contained one person 16 years of age or over
and one child under 16 years, each for less than 27 weeks, neither
would be counted as a member of the economic family, although the
period of membership for the two together equalled more than 26
weeks.
Occupational group.—Families were also classified in one of seven
occupational groups: wage earner, clerical, independent business,
independent professional, salaried business, salaried professional, and
families with no gainfully employed members.3 In general, the wage
earner classification included all types of skilled, semiskilled, and
unskilled manual jobs which are usually paid by the hour, day, or
week, rather than on monthly or annual salary basis. In the clerical
classification were grouped store clerks and salesmen working for
others, as well as office workers. Professional, semiprofessional, and
3 The occupational categories are based upon the Works Progress Administration’s Manual of Work
Division Procedure, sec. 2, Occupational Classification (June 1935); and Index of Occupations, Circ. No. 2A
(September 1935).
A P P E N D IX

technical workers were included in the independent professional group
when employed on their own account, and in the salaried professional
group when they were employed by others on a salary basis. Persons
classified in the independent business group were entrepreneurs own
ing and operating businesses of any type. Also classified in the inde
pendent business category were families which derived the major
portion of their earned income from roomers and boarders. The
salaried business category consisted mainly of salaried managers and
officials; chief officers of corporations who drew salaries, as well as
minor executives, were thus classified in the salaried business groups,
even though some owned controlling interest in the business. The
seventh category consisted of families that had no earnings from an
occupation.4
The occupational classification of a family was determined by the
occupational group from which it derived the major portion of its
earnings during the report year, whether that portion was contributed
by one or more family members.5
Income.—The total income by which the family was classified
included money income (derived from earnings and other sources
such as interest, dividends, pensions, etc.), and in addition, non
money income from housing (for owners, the difference between
rental value of the home and current expense for interest, repairs,
taxes, and the like; for renters, the value of rent received as gift
of pay).
To arrive at the figure for earnings from gainful occupations of
family members (wages, salaries, profits, and other withdrawals from
business for family use, tips, commissions, and bonuses), occupational
expenses were deducted. Similarly, the figures for earned income not
attributable to individual members (i. e., income and family enter
prises such as the keeping of roomers and boarders, or casual work in
the home) represented net rather than gross income from such sources.
Items classified as nonearned money income were: Interest and divi
dends; net rents from property; pensions, annuities and benefits;
gifts in cash, etc.6
Adjusted family income, presented in table 2 of the Tabular
Summary, consists of total income plus the value of food and fuel
obtained wdthout money expense.
Expenditures.—Money expenditures include all money expenses
incurred during the report year for current family living, whether or
4 The expenditures of families with no gainfully employed members were excluded from the tabulations
shown in this volume. A special study of the expenditure of these families was made for Chicago, for Col
umbus white families, and for families in the East Central middle-sized cities. For this material, see vol.
II of Bull. Nos. 642 and 644.
5 F o r more detailed statement, see vol. I, glossary, Bull. Nos. 642, to 647 and 649.

not the full amount was paid during the year.7 Balances remaining
unpaid at the end of the year were considered as increases in liabilities.
Total expenditures include money expenditures and the value of
housing, food, and fuel obtained without money expense. All cate
gories except housing, food, and fuel are therefore represented only by
money expenditures. Total expenditures are thus synonymous with
“Money value of current family living”, defined below.
Value oj jamily living.—The money value of current family living
consisted of money expenditures for current living, and the value of
housing, food, and fuel obtained without money expense. The value
of housing included the imputed net income from owned family and
vacation homes and the rental value of housing received as gift or pay.
Nonmoney income from housing.—An attempt was made to evaluate
all housing received without money expense, whether in the form of
rent as pay or gift, or of imputed income from an owned home.
If a family received any rent as part of wages or salary, as in the
case of a minister, a resident manager, or a janitor, the estimated
monthly rental value was multiplied by the number of months such
premises were occupied, and the resulting amount was included as a
part of the family’s income. If a family occupied rent free during any
part of the schedule year, a home that was owned by a relative or
friend, the rental value was estimated for the period, and from it was
subtracted any housing expenses incurred by the family in connection
with such occupancy. The net figure was then added to the family’s
income. Housing furnished to individual family members while away
from home, whether as gift or in return for services, was not included
in nonmoney income from housing, which relates solely to housing
that served the entire family.
Much more important, on the average, than rent as pay or gift,
was imputed income from owned home. If a family during any part
of the schedule year occupied a home owned by a member of the family
the rental value of this home was estimated (on the basis of rental
rates on equivalent quarters) for the period of occupancy. From this
sum were deducted all expenses incurred for the home, for interest on a
mortgage, repairs, taxes, special assessments, and premiums for insur
ance, during the period of occupancy. The remaining amount was
considered as imputed income from housing, and included as a non
money part of the family’s total income. If the expenses were greater
that the estimated rental value, the family was considered to have had
a negative income from housing.
This procedure applied to either a family home or an owned vacation
home. The net effect was to place many home owners in a higher
7
T h is was not true in the case of a few item s such as fire-insurance prem ium s on owned homes and con
trib u tio n s to the C o m m u n ity Chest. F o r these item s only the am ounts paid during the year were classed
as expenditures.

income class ($250 intervals) than they would have been classified on
the basis of money incomes alone.
Surplus or deficit.—The difference between the family’s total money
income for the year and its total money expenditure was, if a positive
sum, a surplus, or, if a negative sum, a deficit. This surplus or deficit
was accounted for by one or more of a series of changes in assets and
liabilities, described below.
Receipts.—The term “receipts” has been used to designate current
money income plus funds made available through liquidation of assets
or through credit.
Disbursements.—The term “disbursements” has been used to desig
nate money expenditures for current family living plus money used to
decrease debts incurred before the beginning of the report year or to
increase assets.
Balancing difference.—Due to the difficulty experienced by families,
few of which kept detailed records, in accounting in toto for receipts
and disbursements, a margin of tolerance was set up for discrepancies
between the two. If the difference amounted to less than 5.5 percent
of receipts or disbursements, whichever was larger, the schedule was
tabulated, this amount being carried as a balancing difference. If
the discrepancy was 5.5 percent or larger, the schedule was discarded.
In cases where disbursements exceeded receipts, as accounted for by
the family, the balancing difference was negative; if receipts exceeded
disbursements, the difference was positive.

Communities Included by the Bureau of Home
Economics in the Study o f Consumer Purchases
A parallel study was conducted by the Bureau of Home Economics
of the United States Department of Agriculture which, together with
the study made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, constitutes the
Study of Consumer Purchases. The communities in which the
families were visited by the agents of the Bureau of Home Economics
and the Bureau of Labor Statistics respectively are listed in Bulletin
649, volume I, page 297. For consistency in analysis of expenditure
data, schedules for all small cities in a given region were analyzed
by one or the other Bureau, irrespective of which Bureau had gathered
the data. Thus the Bureau of Home Economics analyzed all expendi
ture data for small cities in the Southeast and the West CentralRocky Mountain Region. The Bureau of Labor Statistics analyzed
all data for small cities in New England.

Appendix C
Cities included by Bureau of Labor statistics in the
study of money disbursements o f wage earners and
clerical workers
An investigation of the income and money disbursements of families
of wage earners and clerical workers was undertaken by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in the fall of 1934 for the purpose of revising the
cost-of-living index published currently by the Bureau. The data
from that investigation cover 1 year within the period 1934-36 and
include details on income, family composition, expenditures for prin
cipal categories, and for detailed items of consumption for a total
sample of 14,668 families of employed wage earners and lower-salaried
clerical workers in 42 cities, all with population over 50,000. Data
on quantities of food, clothing, and furnishings and equipment pur
chased; on types of medical care received; and on changes in assets
and liabilities are also included. A summary of these findings is pre
sented in United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin No. 638.
The individual cities for which data are available and the bulletins
in which the detailed data appear are as follows:
