PREFACE
Of the hundreds of commodities which families buy, items of home
furnishings and equipment are least likely to be used up by the end
of the year they are purchased. In some instances they endure
beyond the lifetime of the family. Thus, in any given 12 months,
except for small miscellaneous articles needing frequent replacement,
purchases of most of the major items of home equipment are made by
a relatively small portion of the population—the newly established
families, and some of those purchasing homes. Renting families,
particularly apartment dwellers, tend more and more to expect the
landlord to supply certain major items of household equipment—
refrigerators, stoves, kitchen cabinets, even dining room cupboards
and tables and benches, in the case of built-in dinettes. With the
increasing mobility of the American population, a larger number of
families are finding it more convenient to rent completely furnished
apartments or homes.
The present volume gives in detail data on family expenditures for
furniture and equipment, for the use of those who are concerned with
the original work materials. It is one of a series of eight which will
present information on the expenditures of 26,241 families in the cities
covered by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. Except for
a small number of the major items of equipment, the data do not cover
the stocks of furniture and equipment used by the families covered in
the survey. Neither do they show the extent of purchases of furniture
and equipment during a year, since building contractors and renting
agencies may actually be the most frequent purchasers of certain items.
The data obtained on purchases in the year 1935-36 do, however,
show the relative frequency of family purchase of the various items of
home furnishings and equipment. They show the relation between
these purchases and family income for cities of different size and for
different sections of the country. They provide information on the
average amounts purchased per family, and on the average price of
articles bought by the various groups of the population.
The material presented in the present volume was secured from a sur
vey conducted in 1936 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in cities of vary
ing size and in different parts of the country. This investigation was
paralleled by a study of small-city, village, and farm families conducted
by the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Department of
VI
PREFACE
Agriculture. Both surveys, which together constitute the Study of
Consumer Purchases, were administered under a grant of funds from
the Works Progress Administration. The National Resources Com
mittee and the Central Statistical Board both cooperated in the
Nation-wide survey.
Technical plans for the Study were developed and the adminis
tration of the survey was coordinated by a technical committee which
consisted of Hildegarde Kneeland, National Resources Committee,
chairman; Faith M. 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 legis
lative 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 secu
rity, 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 (Bureau of Labor Statistics
Bulletins 646-647, inclusive, and 649).
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
expenditures which have already been shown, but also in terms of
such refined detail as is here presented.
Manufacturers and distributors utilize information on income dis
tribution 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 pro1 While the present investigation obtained data on the expenditure patterns of families at different income
levels, it provides inferential evidence on the alterations which would occur in family spending if incomes
were raised or lowered.

vides 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, Rachel S. Gallagher, Forest R. Hall, Sybil
Loughead, Glenn W. Sutton, Margaret D. Thompson, Georges M.

Introduction
Housefurnishings and equipment include articles which vary
widely in price, durability, materials, and construction. They
comprise such items indispensable to housekeeping as cooking
utensils, towels, dishes, tables, and chairs, as well as those that con
tribute chiefly to the amenities of living (linens, draperies, pictures,
and rugs). For most of these items, whether among the essentials
or among the luxuries, the market offers a very wide range in quality
and price, so that for any given item, a chair for example, the price
paid may be $1 or it may be $100 or more. Since the majority of
items included in housefurnishings and equipment are of at least
semidurable nature, families are usually able to adjust the level of their
spending to the current family situation with regard to other demands
on income. Young families, in the process of building up their
household equipment, will spend more for furnishings than will those
that have been long established and are hence better provided with
the more durable items. A family which has established a house
hold may do without any new additions to its stock of goods in a year
when its income is reduced.
Expenditures 1 for furnishings and equipment in any given year
are subject to extremely wide variations from family to family.
Since the data given in this report represent the expenditures of
groups that are homogeneous in certain respects,2 it is important to
keep in mind the variations in the expenditures of any one family
from year to year which help to explain irregularity in the averages
and which impose qualifications on the interpretation of the averages
1 While the term expenditure is used, it must be recognized that the figures reported include the full
amounts incurred for furnishings and equipment for members of the economic family during the year of the
survey, whether or not they were actually paid for.
2Two metropolitan communities, 6 large cities averaging 300,000 inhabitants, 14 middle-sized cities of
30,000 to 75,000, and 9 small cities of from 8,000 to 20,000 were included in the expenditure analysis by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Study was limited to native white families except in New York, Columbus,
and the southeastern cities, where a separate sample of native Negro families was taken. The expenditure
survey covers only families which had not been on relief at any time during the schedule year. For list of
communities, see p. 14. For number of expenditure schedules analyzed for each tabulation unit, see p. 20.

as representative of the expenditures of the groups to which they
pertain.
Furnishings and household equipment for the American home
claim less than four cents of every dollar spent for current living by
the families covered in the Urban Series of the Study of Consumer
Purchases. While the maximum average expenditure for this cate
gory as reported for any income group studied was approximately
$390 for the year, in the vast majority of cases less than $100 was so
spent, while some families had no expenditures of this type.
The ratio of expenditures for furnishings and equipment to total
expenditures is affected by the changes in types of articles purchased
with changes in the economic status of the family. At the low income
levels the bare minima for housekeeping predominate, and, because
certain of these items are indispensable, there is a tendency for fami
lies to use a relatively large proportion of their total outlay for such
goods. Among families in a more favorable economic position, the
pots and pans have been provided for and the major part of the
expenditure is directed toward the kind of articles that contribute
to comfort and some that partake of the nature of luxury consumption.
In most of the cities studied the percentage of total expenditures
taken by furnishings and equipment rose with income up to about
the $2,000 level, and then tended to decline. Variations in the level
at which maximum expenditures were reached and in the size of such
percentages occur both with city size and with region. In general,
the smaller the city the larger the proportion of total expenditures at
each income level devoted to this category. This generalization holds
true for all cities covered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the
Study of Consumer Purchases. The contrast is particularly clear
between Chicago and the small cities in the East Central region.
For the income levels from $1,750 to $3,000, three cents of each
dollar was used for furnishings by metropolitan families, and close
to five cents was thus allotted by families in the small cities.
On the other hand, the relative importance of this category in the
family budget begins to decline at a lower income level in the
smaller cities than in the larger ones. The largest proportion of
total expenditures accounted for by furnishings and equipment
occurred at about the $2,000 income level in New York and at about
the $4,000 level in Chicago and four other of the large cities covered
in the survey. In Atlanta and Omaha the income level at which
the maximum was spent was below $1,750. In the middle-sized
cities the proportion of total expenditures going to furniture and
equipment began to decline below the $1,750 level.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
A comparison of differences in the relative importance of expendi
tures for furnishings and equipment among the cities indicates that
families in the Pacific Northwest cities—Portland, and the group of
middle-sized cities including Aberdeen-Hoquiam, Bellingham, and
Everett—tended to allocate larger proportions of their total outlay to
furnishings than did families in other parts of the country. (See
statistical tables, p. 27.) Cities of the Southeast generally came next.
Below the $2,000 income the expenditures of Atlanta families out
ranked those of Portland. On the whole, families in the New England
region reported expenditures for furnishings that represented smaller
proportions of total outlay than did cities in other regions. Chicago
families had larger relative expenditures for this category than did
those in New York, where living quarters are in general even smaller
than those characteristic of other American metropolises.
Although above the intermediate income levels the proportion of
income going to furnishings and equipment declined in most com
munities, the average dollar expenditures rose in successive income
classes throughout the income range covered in this investigation.
In both New York and Chicago an average of $6 per family was
spent over the year for furnishings and equipment by families with
incomes of $500 to $750; $98 by families with $4,000 to $5,000; and
$250 by families with incomes of $10,000 and over (see table A).
Cities smaller in size tended to show higher averages at comparable
income levels.
Since the data on the details of expenditures for the various types of
furnishings and equipment have been combined into averages for
eight groups of cities,3 the data presented in the foregoing pages have
been grouped similarly in table B. The considerably higher average
expenditures in the cities of the Pacific Northwest, mentioned above,
are clearly differentiated in this table, and differences related to city
size also appear.4
Up to about the level of the median incomes (roughly $1,500$2,000), rising income results in considerably increased expenditures
for furniture and equipment. (See fig. 1.) Not only do expenditures
increase, but they increase proportionately more rapidly than in
come. In the income range between $2,000 and $5,000 average
expenditures increase, but at a considerably less rapid rate. Above
$5,000 there is again an increase in the relative change in the sums
spent. In the lower income ranges, purchases of necessary articles
such as dishes, pots and pans, beds, mattresses, towels, bed linens,
etc., are made in as large quantities as rising incomes will allow. In
3 Statistical tables, p. 27.
4 It will be noted that the combination of these cities and income groups smoothed out many of the irregu
larities which attended the averages previously shown, but in order to make possible further study of the
real nature of the relationship between income and expenditures for furnishings and equipment, averages
have been plotted in fig. 4 in a smooth curve designed to eliminate the irregularities that originate from
relatively small samples.
5
IN T R O D U C T IO N
the next interval, where economic pressure is not so great, more
articles and those of better quality are purchased in conjunction with
a few of the comfort items such as electric refrigerators or vacuum
cleaners. At the higher income levels, in addition to these essentials
of housekeeping equipment, furnishings are purchased which assume
other roles. There is more opportunity to purchase furnishings which
may serve as background, and as an expression of the personalities
of the members of the family. Analysis of the detailed items pur
chased at the various income levels clearly shows the differences in
the kinds of goods bought at different parts of the income scale. As
will be shown in a later chapter expenditures for such items as dishes,
sheets, small electric irons, for example, do not increase at the higher
income levels covered by this survey, but purchases of sterling silver
ware and of rugs increase strikingly above the $4,000 income level.

2Includes families with incomes above $3,000.
3 Includes families with incomes above $5,000.
When total expenditures for furnishings and equipment are sepa
rated into expenditures for replacement of furnishings such as kitchen
utensils, electric light bulbs, cotton towels, and for furniture and
relatively durable types of equipment, such as refrigerators, rugs,
sterling silverware, and table linen, quite different rates of increase
appear at various stages along the income scale. Expenditures for
replacement items increase at every income level, but proportionately
these increases do not quite keep pace with rise in income at any level.
(See fig. 2.) Expenditures on furniture and other large equipment,
on the other hand, increase more rapidly than income until the $1,500
to $2,000 level is reached. Families having incomes above $2,500 do
not enlarge their expenditures for large equipment at the same pro
portionate rate as increases in their incomes would appear to permit.

Family type in relation to expenditures for furnishings and
equipment.
In each of the city-size groups studied there appears to be a general
tendency for the small families 5 to spend a greater proportion of
their total outlay on furnishings and equipment than the large families
at the same income levels.
In general, the data show that families containing only husband
and wife tend to spend more than do families of any other type. The
explanation of this inverse relationship between family size and ex
penditures for furnishings lies in two facts. The first is that twoperson families tend to be younger and are in many cases just setting
up housekeeping. The other hinges upon the fact that the smaller
families after paying for food, housing, and clothing have more avail
able for other consumption goods and services. Not only are the
expenditures greater for the smaller families than for the larger, but
the relation of such expenditures to shifts in income is different.
In studying the tables showing expenditures by family type and
income it is important to remember that the averages in many cases
are based upon relatively few families. This leads to some irregular
ity in the relationship shown at different income levels between
average expenditures and family type. Data on seven different
family types are available for Chicago. By fitting a curve to the
sample data, estimates of the figures which would have been obtained
if data had been secured from every family in the groups studied are
shown in figure 4 for two family types.
Chicago families of two persons spend more than do families of five
or six persons at all except the lowest income level. A sharp rise
occurs in expenditures by the two-person families up to the median
income level. Beyond this point expenditures continue to increase
but not proportionately to the increase in income. On the other
hand, for the larger families containing from five to six members with
a predominance of adults (type V) the rapid increase in expenditures
is not made until the median income level is reached. This rise
continues to the $3,000 income level, and thereafter tapers off.
5 The 7 family types, shown in fig. 3, are distinguished on the basis of the number and age of members
other than husband and wife, as follows:

five or six).

Occupation in relation to expenditures for furnishings and
equipment.
Examination of expenditures for furnishings and equipment by the
various occupational groups distinguished in this investigation reveals
that in general at the income levels for which there are data for each
occupation, wage earners rank highest. The salaried groups and
clerical workers come next, followed by the independent groups. Due
to the relatively few families upon which the averages are based,
irregularities in these ranks in individual income classes naturally
occur. In those cities which tend to rank low in the average amounts
of such expenditures, the differences in rank between the wage-earning
groups on one hand and each of the other occupational groups on the
other hand is more marked. (See table C.)

i This occupational group not covered at this income level.
Consideration of the housing data for the various occupational
groups leads to the conclusion that these differences arise rather from
the types of dwellings occupied, than from differences inherent in the
occupational groups. (See vol. II of this bulletin.) In general, the
wage-earner group has a relatively large proportion of home-owners
and of families living in dwelling units where various types of equip
ment must be furnished by the occupants. Thus, while the wageearner families tend to have lower housing expenditures than families
in other occupational groups the difference is in part offset by their
larger equipment expenditures.
The available data are not conclusive as to differences between
white and Negro families in the level of expenditures for furnishings
and equipment. It is clear, however, that for comparable income
groups, white families were more likely than not to rank high on
12

average outlay. When considered in terms of the proportion of total
current expenditures devoted to this category, however, the percentage
was usually larger for the Negro families, since at each income level
their expenditures for consumption goods and services tended to be
less than for the white families, thus having a larger margin of savings.

Scope and Method of the Study of Consumer Purchases:
Urban Series
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 ex
penditure 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,2 each containing data 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

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 quali
fications were set up for the purpose of eliminating as 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.
Nativity groups.— The expenditure 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 of expenditures was confined to white families.
Income and occupational groups.—In all cities families having re
ceived 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

1 Families with incomes below $500 were excluded from the expenditure schedule sample.
2 Families with incomes below $250 were excluded from the expenditure schedule sample.
3 Includes all families with incomes of $3,000 and over.
4 Families with incomes above $3,000 were excluded from the expenditure schedule sample.
5 Includes all families with incomes of $4,000 and over.
6 Includes all families with incomes of $2,500 and over.
In most of the cities covered in the expenditure study, 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 representative 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.
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 white families
with no gainfully employed members was made for Chicago, Columbus,

1 The occupational group in which a family was classified was determined by the source from which a
major portion of its earnings were derived.
2 Families in which the major portions of earnings were derived from work in which the earner was selfemployed.
Family-tyjpe groups.— Only families of the relatively more frequent
types were included in the sample eligible for the expenditure schedule.
For the purpose of distinguishing the expenditure patterns of the pre
dominant family-composition groups, the following types were defined
(see fig. 3):
F a m ily
ty p e
Com position
I Husband and wife (families of two persons).
II Husband and wife, and one child under 16 years (families of
three persons).
III Husband and wife, and two children under 16 years (families
of four persons).
IV Husband, wife, one person 16 years or over, and one or no oth
er person regardless of age (families of three or four persons).
V Husband, wife, and one child under 16 years, one person 16
years or over, and one or two other persons regardless of
age (families of five or six persons).
VI Husband, wife, and three or four children under 16 years (fam
ilies of five or six persons).
VII Husband, wife, one child under 16 years and four or five other
persons regardless of age (families of seven or eight persons).
SCOPE AND METHOD OF THE STUDY
17
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 le^st 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.
Sampling Procedures
Expenditure schedule.— The collection of data on family expendi
tures and family living requires more than ordinary skill and is very
time consuming. In the interests of economy it was necessary 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 families which met
specified requirements as regards these three items, additional informa
tion 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 eli
gibility requirements described above. (See pp. 14-17 for the color
groups, occupation, income groups, and family types covered in each
18
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
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 families 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. Fam
ilies 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 fam
ilies 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 of the statistical tables 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 at either the top or the bottom of the in
come scale. It will be seen, too, that, despite the special efforts
made in the sampling process, some occupational 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,6 the most im8 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 actual
rather than the estimated expenses.
Similarly, for families having boarders the income figure on the family schedule included the estimated
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 ex
penditure 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 classification also resulted from the longer interview—chiefly because of differ
ences in the definition of the economic family. Whereas all related persons living under the same roof, or
SCOPE AND METHOD OF THE STUDY

portant 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 ex
penditure 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 the like 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.
eating at least two meals daily with the family, whose income 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 expenditures 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 classi
fied 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 schedule 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 sched
ules in some cells and decrease others.

groups covered by the investigation are given in table 1 of the statis
tical tables.6
Supplementary schedules {check lists for food , clothing, and fu r
nishings and equipment).—All the families which furnished expendi
ture schedules were also asked to give detailed data concerning weekly
consumption of food at home, expenditures for specific items of cloth
ing for the different members of the family, and expenditures for
specific items of furnishings and equipment. The population repre
sented in the controlled sample was thus the same for the check lists
as for the expenditure schedule; and these supplementary schedules
were classified 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
expenditure) 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
consumed were prepared for the Negro families in the New York City6 In order to make possible comparisons between city and regional groups, the figures on the number of
eligible families presented in table 1 are given in terms of the total number of eligible families in each city or
regional group; that is, in terms of 100 percent coverage even for the cities where the sample was less than 100
percent.

2 Excluded from tabulations because of insufficient number of cases.
The proportion of families in the controlled sample which supplied
check lists varied considerably among the units. The number of
families covered in the analyses of the food check lists is shown for the
different geographic areas, with an occupational and family type
classification within each income level, in table 1-A of volume II
(Bull. No. 648); the number of persons for whom clothing expenditures
were reported is given in tables 1-B and 1-C of volume III; and the
number of families represented in the tabulations of the furnishings
and equipment check lists appears in table 1-A of volume IV.
Method of Securing Averages
Combinations oj cities.—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.
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.
22
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
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 communities 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 analyses 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:
W hite fa m ilies
New York City and Chicago.
New England and East Central, two large and five middle-sized
cities.
New England and East Central, nine small cities.
Southeast, one large and two middle-sized cities.
West Central and Rocky Mountain, two large and four middle-sized
cities.
Pacific Northwest, one large and three middle-sized cities.
N egro fa m ilies
Southeast, one large and two middle-sized cities.
New York City and Columbus, Ohio.
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
SCOPE AND METHOD OE THE STUDY
23
the two salaried groups; only three groups were differentiated for the
small cities, with all business and professional families considered as a
unit. In the case of Negro families, families in the two independent
groups and in 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 equip
ment 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. 16.) In the tables giving the
details on expenditures of white families for food, clothing, and fur
nishings 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, or for
Negro families in New York City and Columbus, with incomes 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
8 See pp. 16-17 for family types covered in the different cities.
24
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
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 w eigh tin g 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 multiplied 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 correspond
ing 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 un
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.
* The tables involved are as follows: Tables 4 and 5, vol. II (Bull. No. 648); tables 4, 5, and 6, vol. Ill; and
tables 5 and 6, vol. IV.
SCOPE AND METHOD OF THE STUDY
25
Except where specifically stated to the contrary, the averages are
based on all families in any given group without regard to the propor
tion 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 aver
age 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 expendi
ture for a vacuum cleaner, for example, during the schedule year,
data are shown for the average expenditure for vacuum cleaner.
To secure an estimate of the expenditure among the eligible families
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 corre
sponding income level (table 1 of the statistical tables). The sum of
these products will furnish an estimate of aggregate amounts; and
division of this aggregate, 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 16. No data were secured concerning
the disbursements of families other than those which met the eligi
bility requirements set up for the investigation.

Explanation o f Tables
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 groups, by family type and income groups, and by
occupational and income groups for each of the tabulation units (16
for white families and 4 for Negro families) into which the cities
were combined.
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 section 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 expend
itures. As stated in the introduction, those families having no
gainfully 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 geographic areas studied in the tabu
lation of the check lists the number of families eligible for the
expenditure study and the number reporting on expenditures for
items of furnishings and equipment. The occupational and family
type distributions of families completing the furnishings and equip
ment check lists are presented in the 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 white families for the various family-type and occupational
groups within each income class.3 Although the size of the sample
varied in the different communities the figures in this section are
1 See the discussion on sampling in the introduction, p. 17.
2The 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.
3As mentioned on p. 24, the data for the Negro families were not weighted.
203
204
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 - 3 6
stated in terms of the total number of eligible families in each geo
graphic 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 family expenditures for household furnishings
and equipment.
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 and nonmoney income
from housing, plus the value of food and fuel received without
money expenditure.5 The expenditure figures in section B represent
money expenditure plus the value of housing, food, and fuel received
without money expenditure. Thus, free food and fuel have been
considered here as an additional part of income; and, in turn, 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 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. Ownership of Household Equipment
The extent of ownership at the end of the schedule year of specified
items of household equipment is shown in table 3. The table is
presented for all families at successive income levels (family type and
occupational groups combined).
Ownership of pianos, phonographs, and radios was shown in this
table; however, purchase of such items during the schedule year
was recorded in the section on recreation.
Table 4. Furnishings and Equipment
The percentage of families reporting expenditure for selected items
of furnishings and equipment and the average expenditure for these
and all other items are presented in table 4. In addition, the average
expenditure per article is shown for the selected items. Only expendi
tures for equipment purchased during the schedule year were recorded.
4 See footnote 2, p. 203.
s 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.

A verage f a m ily exp en d itu re, w hich is presen ted by incom e class f a m ily

a t each incom e level w hether or not all fa m ilie s reported a n expenditure
con tribu tin g to a p a rtic u la r average.
Any trade-in allowance for an article which was turned in was
deducted from the gross price, and the net expenditure was reported.
Financing charges for purchases of these items on the installment
plan were included. Purchases of pianos, phonographs, and radios
were excluded from this section and were recorded under expenditures
for recreation.
Average expenditure per article for the selected items is given in
section C. Since a family would purchase only one of a specified
article during the year, for example, a refrigerator, the average
expenditure* per article is represented by the same figures as the aver
age expenditure for families reporting such expenditure. The data in
section C, therefore, were computed by dividing averages in section B
by the corresponding percentages in section A.
A ll other fu rn ish in g s a n d equ ipm en t. —Expenditure for kitchen,
cleaning, and laundry equipment; furniture; glassware and china,
silverware; household linens and towels; floor coverings; and other
miscellaneous household equipment were included here. More de
tailed information concerning these expenditures was obtained through
the check list for furnishings and equipment and is presented in
tables 5 and 6.
Furnishings and Equipment Check Lists
Tables 5 and 6 present data from the furnishings and equipment
check lists. These afford a means of determining and recording for
specific items the number of articles purchased during the year, the
unit purchase price, the total expenditure, and the season in which the
purchase was made. The number of families supplying furnishings
and equipment check lists is given in table 1-A.
The total expenditure was recorded for each item. If articles were
purchased at a discount the actual price paid was recorded. Goods
bought at sales were reported at the price paid regardless of the
original marked price. If a trade-in allowance was reported the
amount entered represented gross price minus the amount of the
trade-in allowance.
When goods were purchased from a mail-order house the amount of
the postage or shipping charges was included as part of the expendi
ture. Likewise, the expenditure recorded for a given item included
any sales tax which was paid. If furnishings were purchased during
the year on the installment plan the contract price plus financing
charges was recorded as the expenditure. Any amount remaining
206
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
unpaid at the end of the schedule year was recorded as an increase in
liabilities. (Payments on installment purchases made prior to the
schedule year were not entered on the check list but were considered
as a decrease in liabilities.)
Expense for yard goods which was purchased for such items as
draperies, slip covers, and sheets was recorded in the check list for
furnishings and equipment under the appropriate item. The cost of
paid help for sewing these articles was also considered as one of the
items to be entered in these check lists.
Expense for furnishings and equipment given by one member of
the economic family to another was entered, as any other purchase,
in the appropriate item. The value of all furnishings and equipment
received as gift or pay from persons not members of the economic
family was estimated in terms of local retail prices, and entered as a
separate item rather than in the appropriate item.
Tabulations were prepared for average family expenditure and for
the average quantity purchased. The latter item was needed in
order to make computations for the average expenditure per article,
shown for some items in section C of table 6. Although not presented
in the table, the average quantity purchased (based on all families)
may be computed from data presented in table 6.
No tabulations have been made showing distribution of prices paid
nor have tabulations been prepared on a seasonal basis.
Although a check list was not accepted for tabulation unless the
family reported the total expense for each item for which a purchase
was made, it was accepted if the number of articles purchased was not
reported. In computing the average number of articles purchased it
was assumed that the quantity purchased by the families vhich
reported expense but not quantity was the same as the average quan
tity purchased by the families in the same cell which did report
quantity. The resulting figures on average quantities purchased were
the ones used in deriving the average expenditure for the various
articles.
Table 5. Summary of Expenditure for Furnishings and
Equipment
Table 5 constitutes a summary of the material in the furnishings
and equipment check lists, showing the percentage of families report
ing expenditure and the average annual expenditure for all families.
Such data are presented for kitchen equipment; cleaning equipment;
laundry equipment; glass, china, silverware; linens, blankets, curtains,
floor coverings; furniture; and miscellaneous furnishings. Also, ex
penditure for all furnishings and equipment is presented. These
totals correspond to total expenditures for furnishings and equipment
APPENDIX A
207
shown in table 4 for the larger number of tabulation units. Some
minor differences between the two sets of totals will be found (after
placing the data in comparable geographic areas), due to the fact that
the sample for the check lists was not the same (smaller) as the sample
for the expenditure schedule.
Data are presented in this table for all families at successive income
levels with family-type and occupational groups combined, and for
family-type groups at successive income levels with occupational
groups combined.6 A verage expenditures are based on all fa m ilie s
scheduled in the incom e class w ith ou t regard to the p ro p o rtio n reportin g
pu rch ase f o r a p a rticu la r item . The average expenditure for families
reporting such expenditure may be computed by dividing the averages
presented in the table by the corresponding percentage of families
reporting purchase.
The items under each group shown in this summary are presented
in table 6 and it is unnecessary to make detailed explanation of such
items here.
Table 6. Furnishings and Equipment
The information secured for specific items from the furnishings and
equipment check lists is presented in table 6. The percentage of
families reporting expenditure for the specified items, the average
amount of such expenditure per family, and the average expenditure
per article for selected items are shown for families at successive in
come levels with family-type and occupational groups combined.7
The selected items in section C are those in which average expenditure
per article has significant meaning. No such figures are given for
glassware, for example, because of the variety of methods of purchas
ing these articles, resulting in price ranges, which are not comparable.
Expenditures for the large items of equipment shown in table 3
have not been repeated in table 6. However, the amount of such
expenditure has been included with the miscellaneous item within
each section affected and is also included in the total for the section.
Thus, the data on expenditure for refrigerators as reported on the
check lists are included with other large kitchen equipment and also
in the total for kitchen equipment.
Families reporting no expenditure for the items of furnishings and
equipment were not included in the basic tabulation of these check
lists, and so the data which were derived were in effect those based on
families reporting expenditure. For the sake of comparability with
other tables, the data derived for these items for families reporting
6 Combinations were made by pooling the data rather than by weighting in each case when preparing the
tables for Negro families in the southeast region.
7 Family-type and occupational groups were pooled in each income class when preparing the tables for
Negro families in the southeast region.
208

expenditure were adjusted in terms of the proportion of families re
porting expenditures for furnishings and equipment on the expenditure
schedule. It was assumed that the proportions reporting no expendi
ture for furnishings and equipment on the main schedule and the
check lists would be approximately the same. H en ce, the m a terial
presen ted in th is table is based on all J a m ilies whether or not all fa m ilie s
reported expen ditures (after allow ance w as m ade fo r the p ro p o rtio n of
fa m ilie s reportin g no expen ditu res fo r fu rn ish in g s a n d eq u ip m en t).
Average expenditure for families reporting expenditure can be derived
by dividing average family expenditure shown in section B by the
corresponding percentage of families reporting such expenditure in
section A.
Also, the average number of articles purchased (based on all fam
ilies) may be computed from the data in the table by dividing the
figures in section B by the corresponding ones in section C.
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 consumption
for any one or more of the items in the section.
K itch e n equ ipm en t. —As already stated, data on expenditure for
refrigerators and for pressure cookers as reported on the check lists
are included in expenditure for “other large kitchen equipment” and
“other small kitchen equipment,” respectively. These are also
reported in the total expenditure for kitchen equipment. See table 4
for data on refrigerators and pressure cookers from the larger number
of families from which expenditure schedules were obtained. Other
large kitchen equipment also included such items as fireless cooker and
kitchen chairs and stools; while other small kitchen equipment also
included miscellaneous items not specifically covered.
Canning equipment included fruit jars or other containers, lids,
rubbers, and other items, other than pressure cooker, purchased
specifically for canning purposes.
Small electric equipment included such items as electric toasters,
perculators, waffle irons, grills, and mixing machines.
C lean in g equ ipm en t. —The expenditure for vacuum cleaners as
reported on the check list is included with other cleaning equipment
as well as in “total cleaning equipment.” As in the case of refrigera
tors and pressure cookers, expenditure for vacuum cleaners is shown
in table 4 for the larger number of families from which the expenditure
schedules were obtained.
L a u n d ry equ ipm en t , other. —Expenditure for washing machines and
ironing machines as reported on the check lists is included under this
item as well as under “total laundry equipment.” Expense for clothes
lines, pins, hampers, and ironing pads and covers was recorded here.
APPENDIX A
209
Glass, china, and silverware.—Glassware included all glassware
purchased for the table, with the exception of table ornaments, and
such items as glass measuring cups and baking dishes. Glass mixing
bowls were recorded under pots, pans and bowls for kitchen equip
ment. Glass table ornaments, vases and other ornaments were in
cluded as a separate item under miscellaneous furnishings.
Flatware included knives, forks, spoons, and other miscellaneous
serving pieces. Hollowware included food containers and platters,
cups, bowls, plates, and tea and coffee sets. Distinction was made
between hollowware made of sterling and such equipment made of
pewter, copper, wood, or pottery.
Household linens, blankets, curtains and other textiles.—Articles
which were made of a material of two or more fabrics were considered
under the predominant material. Expense for bath towels also in
cluded expense for bath mats and wash cloths. “Other tablecloths”
included oilcloth table covers and silence pads (asbestos or felt base)
for use under tablecloths. Data for pillows included both bed and
sofa pillows.
Floor coverings, other.—Expenditure for matting, fur rugs, and nonskid floor pads for use underneath rugs and carpets was included here.
Furniture.—Night tables, telephone tables, and bridge tables were
considered as “other tables” ; and high-chairs for infants were con
sidered as “other chairs.” Miscellaneous pieces of furniture such as
tea wagons, coat racks, and umbrella stands were classified as “other
furniture.”
Other miscellaneous furnishings.—Expenditure for sewing machines
as reported on the check lists is included under “other miscellaneous
furnishings” as well as in the total for this section. Data for sewing
machines as reported by the larger number of families from which the
expenditure schedules were obtained are shown in table 4. Other
items included here were wastebaskets, stepladders, and play pens for
children.
Insurance on furnishings included both fire and theft insurance.
Only premiums paid during the year were entered and no attempt
was made to prorate amounts for succeeding years or for payments
made in prior years. Although personal effects, such as clothing and
jewelry may have been covered, the full amount of the premiums paid
was recorded.
Expense for paid help for sewing entered in this check list referred
only to those sewing expenses which were for household furnishings
or equipment, such as the making or repairing of draperies, curtains,
bedding, and slip covers.

Forms and Glossary— Classifications
Definitions o f Terms
and
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 Consumer
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 consumers vary
considerably from family to family and even within the family circle,
depending upon the 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 in force 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
F am ily type
Composition
I Husband and wife (families of 2 persons).
II Husband and wife, and one child under 16 years (families of
3 persons).
I ll Husband and wife, and 2 children under 16 years (families of
4 persons).

Com position
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, and 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 or membership of persons in the
economic 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
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 owning
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).

and operating businesses of any type. Also classified in the independent
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 draw 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, nonmoney
income from housing (for owners, the difference between rental value
of the home and current expense for interest, repairs, mortgages, and
the like; for renters, the value of rent received as gift or 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; rents from property; pensions, annuities, and benefits; gifts in
cash, etc.6
Adjusted family income, presented in table 2, consists of total
income plus the value of food and fuel obtained without money
expense.
Expenditures.—Money expenditures include all money expenses
incurred during the report year for current family living, whether or
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 cate4 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
Columbus white families, and for families in the East Central middle-sized cities. For this material, see
vol. II of Bulls. Nos. 642 and 644.

7 This was not true in the case of a few items such as fire insurance premiums on owned homes and con
tributions to the Community Chest. For these items only the amounts paid during the year were classed
as expenditures.

gories except housing and food are therefore represented only by
money expenditures. Total expenditures are thus synonymous with
“Money value of current family living,” defined below.
Value of family 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 con
nection 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 as the family home.
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 (in relation to rental
rates on equivalent quarters) for the period of occupancy. From
this sum were deducted all expenses incurred for the home, for inter
est on a mortgage, repairs, taxes, special assessments, and premiums
for insurance, during the period of occupancy. The remaining
amount was considered as imputed income from housing, and in
cluded as a nonmoney part of the family’s total income. If the
expenses were greater than 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 vaca
tion home. The net effect was to place many home owners in a
higher 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 sur-
214
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5-3 6
plus 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 fami
lies, few of which kept detailed records, in accounting in to to 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.

Appendix C
Communities Included by the Bureau o f Home Econom
ics in the Study of Consumer Purchases
A parallel study was conducted by the Bureau of Home Economics
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 expenditure data for small cities in the Southeast and for the West
Central-Rocky Mountain region, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics
analyzed all data for small cities in New England.

Appendix D
Cities Included by Bureau o f Labor Statistics in the
Study o f M oney Disbursements of 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 principal
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 quan
tities of food, clothing, and furnishings and equipment purchased; on
types of medical care received; and on changes in assets and liabilities
are also included. A summary of these findings is presented 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:
