Families living in Northeastern cities have comparatively high expenditures for bousing, while those on the Pacific coast and in Southeastern cities have rela tively low expenses. These regional differences reflect not only lower rents and rental values in some regions but also differences in types of dwellings, in heating equipment and costs, as well as in other facilities provided in the homes. In most regions, residents of large cities spend more for housing than do families in middle-sized and small cities at comparable income levels. Within each of the cities surveyed, however, the expenditures for housing follow a definite pattern—as family income rises, the amount spent on housing rises also, but at a slower rate. Thus, with in creases in income, a decreasing proportion of the family budget is devoted to housing the family. The Study of Consumer Purchases does not attempt to portray the housing situation as a whole in the communities surveyed. To do so would have required greater concentration upon the most poorly housed—the relief groups in the population. Rather, this study aims to discover the interrelationships between family income and expendi tures for housing, and to determine the extent to which region, city size, occupation, family composition, race, and home tenure were asso ciated with differences in housing expenditures. Relatively little data were secured in this study on the adequacy of housing. Other investi gations such as the real property inventories and financial surveys, conducted as work projects, have covered more thoroughly the quality of housing obtained by all groups of the population. The present volume on expenditures for housing is one of a number of publications prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics from data obtained in the Study of Consumer Purchases. The results of this study are presented in three series of reports, of which the present constitutes the third. The first series was concerned with an analysis of the distribution by income class, occupational group, family type, nativity, and home tenure, of families studied in selected communities in different parts of the country. Each volume in that series pertained to a specific geographic region. The second series VII VIII PREFACE comprised reports for the same regions on the size and relative impor tance of expenditures for the main categories of family living, with only incidental reference to the constituent items in those categories. The third series presents detailed data collected in all regions cov ered by the Study for each of the more important of these categories. The study conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics was paral leled by a study of small-city, village, and farm families conducted by the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Department of 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 cooperated in the Nation-wide study. The plans for the project were developed and the administra tion was coordinated by a technical committee composed of represen tatives of the following agencies: National Resources Committee, Hildegarde Kneeland, chairman; Bureau of Labor Statistics, Faith M. Williams; Bureau of Home Economics, Day Monroe; Works Progress Administration, Milton Forster; and Central Statistical Board, Samuel J. Dennis. 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. Weber, and Erika Hartmann Wulff. Acknowledgement 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, Marie Bloch, Ethel Cauman, Verna Mae Feuerhelm, Lenore A. Epstein, Trusten P. Lee, Mary Wiatt Chace, and Allan M. Winsor, who were in charge of editing and reviewing. The present study of family expenditures for housing permits com parisons among different sections of the country, among communities of varying degrees of urbanization, and between white and Negro fami lies in the same community. It covers a wide range of family incomes, from those just above the relief level to incomes of more than $10,000. It was planned, moreover, so as to supply a sample that would allow comparison of different occupational groups and of families of varying composition. Individuals and agencies have long been interested in the economic advantages or disadvantages of owning a home. The present report, showing the current expenses of home ownership by income levels, IX PREFACE provides certain basic information which, when supplemented by the data on the relation between rental values and capital investments in the home, should shed considerable light on this problem. What families get in the way of basic facilities in their homes for the expenditures shown in this report forms the subject matter of the last sections.

I) o f the United States Bureau o f Labor Statistics F am ily Expenditures in Selected C ities, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 H O U SIN G Chapter I Total Expenditures for Housing The expense of housing a family is second only to food as a channel of family expenditure. In order to provide the family with living quarters (including expenses for fuel, light, and refrigeration), families in the large cities surveyed apportioned as much as one-third of their expenditures to housing.1 As total family expenditures rise, the money value of housing also increases but at a slower rate. Thus as the higher income levels are reached, expenditures for housing become a progressively smaller proportion of the cost of maintaining a family. The lowest percentage of the total is found in the top income brackets, where expenditures for housing represented one-fifth or less of the total expenditures of families in metropolises and large cities. In explanation of the fact that even among families with incomes of $5,000 or more, expenditures for housing represent as much as one-fifth of the total of family expenditures, it should be pointed out that the housing expenses of high-income families frequently include outlays for items in addition to the family home. Expenses for a vacation home, for lodging while traveling or on vacation, and for room rent at school are more common in the budgets of families with high incomes than they are among low-income families. Pronounced intercity differences exist in the proportion of family expenditures allocated to housing at certain income levels. New York City and Providence families devoted a larger share of their living expenditures to housing than did families in the other communities surveyed. In the income levels up to $2,250, New York families had the highest relative expenditures, while above this level the housing of Providence families took the lead up to the $7,500 income level. The other extreme in housing expenditures is found in Atlanta and 1 Included in the money value of housing is the rent of renting families and the rental value of owneroccupied dwellings, expenses for fuel, light, refrigeration, value of free fuel, expenditures for lodging family members away from home including rent at school, and the value of rent received as a gift, or in com pensation for services. Total expenditures have been treated as equivalent to the money value of family living which includes money expenditures for all purchases of the family as well as the money evaluation of goods and services received by the family without a direct money outlay. 3 4 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 Portland. (See fig. 1.) New York families with incomes of less than $1,250 allocated slightly more than one third of their total expenditures to housing, while in Atlanta and Portland approxi m ately one-quarter was so spent. Housing of families in the income levels below $1,500 formed a smaller percentage of total family ex penditure in Atlanta than in any of the other large cities. Above this point in the income scale, families in Portland had the lowest relative housing costs. As later analysis will reveal, low housing expenditures in these two cities are due both to lower rents of rented dwellings and rental values of owned homes, and to relatively low expenditures for fuel and light. Data from families in the middle-sized cities provide further evi dence on regional differences in housing expenditures. Among families with incomes below $2,250 in the middle-sized communities, the New England residents allocated a larger share of their expenditures to housing than did similar income groups in other regions. Families in the East Central region having incomes above $2,250 consistently de voted more of their expenditures to housing than did families in com parable income classes in the other regions up to the $5,000 income level. On the other hand, low relative housing expenditures in this group of communities prevailed in the Pacific Northwest and in the Southeast regions—just as in the case of the large cities. In small cities also, New England families stood out with high housing expenditures. At every income level a larger portion of total expenditures was represented by the housing expense among families in New England than in East Central cities.

Incomes of $2,500 and over. Regional differences in housing expense also appear in the data for Negro families in the North and South. Negro families living in New York and Columbus had housing expenditures which were consistently higher, at all income levels, than those of Negro families in Atlanta and Columbia-Mobile. Aside from the lower rents in the Southeast, the cost of providing heat is smaller in this region, so the housing ex pense as a whole is correspondingly less. In New York, housing expenditures made up a larger proportion of the total expenditures of Negro families than of white families at com parable income levels. This tendency was also apparent in Columbus. Living accommodations available to Negroes in New York City, par ticularly, are relatively limited; quarters with low rents are scarce, and housing costs to this group are apparently fairly rigid. In the middle-sized cities of the Southeast the opposite situation existed. Not only was the ratio of housing expenditures to total ex- oa Fig. I 1935-1936 NONRELIEF W HITE FAMILIES INCLUDING HUSBAND AND W IFE BOTH NATIVE BORN *1000 “ I- $1250 *2000 „SS1R*2250 INCOME CLASS IN OOLLARS U.

As later analysis will indicate, part of this difference in housing expenditures of racial groups in the South is accounted for by the fact that the dwellings occupied by Negroes are less well-equipped than those occupied by whites. Occupational differences in ratio of housing to total expenditures.— Families which derived their earnings chiefly from wage-earner pur suits allocated a smaller percentage of their expenditures to housing than did families in the white-collar groups with similar incomes. (See table B of supplement to Tabular Summary.) Data on facilities and number of rooms in the quarters occupied by the various occupational groups indicate that the wage earners lived in less desirable dwellings. This has further significance because the families of wage earners at any given income level tend to be larger than those of the other occupational groups.2 The housing expenditures of families in the independent business and professional groups tend to be higher than those of families deriv ing their major earnings from other occupations. Professional per sons maintaining their own practices frequently have their offices in their homes and may therefore incur expenses for larger or more elab orate quarters than would ordinarily be needed for the family home. Many families also operate small businesses such as beauty shops or carpentry shops in the home. Moreover, both professional and busi ness persons working independently may find it advantageous to main tain more expensive homes, particularly when they use their residences for entertaining business contacts. Family type differences in ratio of housing to total expenditures.— Housing is one of the few items of family consumption which is a purchase of the family as a unit rather than a summation of indi vidual purchases. When it comes to food and clothing expenditures, the more family members the greater the outlay for family mainte nance. But with housing, the expenditure may remain relatively con stant with the addition of family members. To be sure, housing also may become more costly if additional rooms are to be secured, but it appears from this study that when the family adds a member, it is more likely to crowd into the rooms available than to seek larger quarters. The family type analysis presented in table C of the supplement to the Tabular Summary for the cities of the East Central Region illustrates this point. Families of types V, VI, and VII, which contain five to eight per sons (see pictogram of family types, p. 9), have housing expendi tures which quite consistently absorb a relatively low proportion of * See Family Income in Chicago, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bull. No. 642, vol. I, table 21, p. 39. 153119°— 41-----2 8 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 their total living expenses as compared with other families. On the other hand, the families of husband and wife only, tend to have hous ing of a relatively high value. Of the families which contain three or four members (types II, III, and IV), those with at least one adult in addition to the married couple had rather high housing expenditures— probably because overcrowding is more common among families with young children than among families comprised largely of adults. Var iation among families of a given size and at given income levels is, of course, to be expected, since tastes differ and housing requirements dif fer with the sex and specific age of the members. Average expenditure jor housing.—Not only does the proportion of all family expenditures allocated to housing vary by city size and re gion, but the average expense of housing per family also varies in much the same manner. The total housing expenditure of families in the large Pacific Northwest city, Portland, was only about threefifths to four-fifths as much as the money value of family housing in New York City among families with comparable incomes. Both re gional and city-size factors are associated with this difference. When the comparison is made between a metropolis and a large city situ ated within the same geographic region (Chicago and Columbus), the money value of housing is found to be greater in the metropolis. The figures in table D of the supplement to the Tabular Summary permit a comparison between housing expenditures of families living in cities of different size in seven regions of the United States. In the Pacific Northwest, Pocky Mountain, and West Central regions, families living in middle-sized cities had lower housing expenditures than did families in large cities. Similarly in the East Central region, families in the small cities spent less for housing than did families in the middle-sized and large cities of this section of the country. In the other regions, however, differences associated with size of city were less consistent. Regional differences in the money value of family housing are more striking than city-size variations. Housing expenditures of families living in Portland and in the middle-sized cities of the Pacific North west region ranked lowest. At the same income levels, Portland fam ilies tended to spend about $150 a year less for housing than did the New York City families. Total expenditures for housing by white families in the Southeastern region were relatively low—particularly in Atlanta—in comparison with the other large cities. The average for white families as a whole in this large southern city was $453 for the year. Expenditures for housing in New England stood out as being fairly high. Providence families with incomes of $2,000 or more ranked close to New York families in the costs of their housing, while the housing expenditures of Haverhill-New Britain families with in- TOTAL EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSING Fig. 2 FAMILY TYPES FOR EXPENDITURE STUDY TY PE I TYPE II TYPE VI TYPE III TYPE VII MEMBERS REQUIRED FOR TYPE ft MEMBER REQUIRED FOR TYPE, BUT AGE ALTERNATIVE Q \ ( MEMBER OPTIONAL FOR TYPE © © AGE ALTERNATIVE U.

In all regions and in cities of all sizes, expenditures for housing increased with rises in the income scale. Whereas families receiving current incomes between $750 and $1,000 had housing expenditures which ranged between $200 and $400, families with incomes between $2,500 and $3,000 spent about $500 to $700 for housing. The expenditures for housing of families with annual incomes of $5,000 or more were approximately double those of families having incomes between $2,500 and $3,000. Average housing expenditures per month.—The above data on housing expenditures are more easily understood if expressed in terms of monthly averages, despite the fact that some expenses such as for fuel are usually incurred only during certain seasons. The average monthly expenditures for family housing ranged between $15 (in Atlanta) and $31 (in New York City) for white families in the income bracket $500-$750. Rising to the $1,000 income group, the average housing expenditure had increased to between $22 and $35. Fami lies with twice the income ($2,000-$2,250) spent less than twice as much, or from $32 to $49 per month, for the housing item. At the $4,000-$5,000 level expenditures for housing varied from $51 to $85 per month. (See table 2.) T a b l e 2. —Average monthly expenditure for housing, by income class A.

But in the course of a year, families frequently incur expense for other housing such as a vacation home which the family either owns or rents, a hotel room rented at the seashore or while traveling, or perhaps a room occupied by a son or daughter living away from home while attending school. Even among families which cannot afford hotel accomodations while traveling or vacationing, expenses for lodging in tourist homes or fees for the use of camp grounds may form a portion of the housing budget. The tendency for the proportion of total housing expenditure which is allotted to housing other than the family home to increase with 12 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 rise in income level is apparent in the figures of table 3.3 Except in Portland and in the small cities of the East Central region, expenses for housing during vacations and trips had no place in the budget of families with incomes of less than $1,000. Not until the family income reached $3,000 or more did the value of housing other than the family home exceed 4 percent of total housing expenditures. New York families with incomes of $10,000 and over apportioned as much as one-fifth of their housing expenditures to housing in addition to the usual family residence. Of the large cities, the proportion allotted to other housing in Portland ran high and in Atlanta low.

At the highest income level in Providence and Colum bus, imputed income from owned vacation homes equaled 2 percent of total housing expenditures, TOTAL EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSING 13 Expenses for housing other than the family home made up an even smaller portion of the housing values of Negro families than of white. Only in New York among families receiving incomes of $3,500 or more was the proportion higher than 2 percent. In each of the three cities, the income level at which expenditures for housing during vaca tions, traveling, etc., entered the housing budget of Negro families was higher than the level at which white families first reported this type of expense. R en t as gift or p a y a s a p ro p o rtio n o f total expenditure fo r h ou sin g .— Persons following certain occupations commonly receive a portion of their remuneration in the form of dwelling quarters which they occupy rent-free. Such payment for services is frequently made to janitors, apartment house managers, ministers, and superinten dents of schools and institutions. In other instances, a family may occupy without paying rent a dwelling which is owned by a relative or friend.4 No consistent regional or city-size differences are apparent from the figures in table 4 on the proportion of total value of housing which was received in the form of rent as gift or pay. In general, however, free rent amounted to less than 5 percent of the value of all housing and at many income levels was negligible. Rent as gift or pay is a more important source of the housing value of Negro families than of native white families in New York and Atlanta. About four-tenths of the housing value of New York Negro families receiving incomes of $500 to $750 is in the form of rent as gift or pay; at the income levels of $3,000 to $3,500 and $4,000 and over, free rent amounts to almost five-tenths of the total money value of housing. When data are combined for families of different occupational groups, we do not find a definite relationship between rent as pay and family income. The occupational analysis presented in table E of the supplement to the Tabular Summary for native white families in New York City, however, reveals at what income levels rent as gift or pay is important to families in the different occupational groups. Among families in the wage-earner classification, for instance, free rent made up a larger portion of total housing value in the income classes under $1,500 than at succeeding levels. The wage-earner occupation with which rent as pay is most frequently associated is that of janitor or caretaker. Since the total remuneration for such work is ordinarily rather low, it is to be expected that rent as pay would be most important among wage-earner families at the bottom of the income scale. On the other hand, in the salaried professional 4 In cases of rent received either as gift or as pay, the family may incur minor expenses for repairs, etc., in connection with the free occupancy of the quarters. Such expenses have been deducted from the rental value of the dwelling in arriving at the money value of rent received as pay or gift. 14 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 group it is at the $5,000 to $10,000 levels that free rent constitutes the largest percentage of total housing value. Salaried professional work ers receiving a portion of their remuneration in the form of free rent are frequently clergymen and resident heads of hospitals, schools, and other institutions, and their cash salaries may also be relatively high.

Chapter II Home Ownership and R ent in Relation to Income In order to interpret differences in amount and types of housing expenditures made by families in various groups of the population in different communities as well as in various sections of the country, a knowledge of the home tenure of the families under consideration is essential. Not only are the expenses of home owners quite different from rent of renting families but estimates on the total expense of certain items such as fuel, light and refrigeration cannot always be obtained from renters since such expenses are not infrequently covered by the rental charge for the dwelling. The analysis of the present chapter will bring together data on home tenure and income gathered in seven different regions, in order to facilitate regional and city-size comparisons.1 Since families receiving relief at any time during the year 1935-36 were studied in the random sample of families in each city, the use of the random sample rather than the controlled sample of families giv ing detailed expenditures provides a basis for comparing the housing level of the relief with the nonrelief families. Proportion of home owners.—Regional factors and city-size dif ferences produced wide variation in the proportion of families which owned their homes at the time of the survey. Among the families living in the metropolises and large cities, home ownership was found to be most prevalent in Portland, the large city of the Pacific Northwest, and least frequent in New York City, where the con centration of 10 million people about New York harbor has made home ownership relatively difficult. Between the extremes of Portland and New York, we find ownership of the family dwelling to be relatively common in Omaha-Council Bluffs, with Denver and Columbus ranking next and then Atlanta. (See table 5.) Among families with annual incomes between $500 and $1,750, the proportion reporting home ownership in Providence was 1 The basic data on which this chapter is based are published in vol. I of each report on Family Income and Expenditure. The proportions and averages shown are based upon a much larger sample of families than the group which gave detailed information on expenditures. Thus wide fluctuations in figures due to small samples are avoided. Although the general patterns of home tenure found among the random sample of families resemble those of families whose detailed housing expenditures are shown in all other chapters of the present report, differences are to be expected both because of differences in the size of the samples and because of the restriction of the controlled sample to certain occupational and family type groups at each income level. 15 16 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6 almost as low as in New York and was lower than in the other metrop olis included in the survey, Chicago; above this income level, Provi dence families were home owners much more frequently, proportion ately, than were families living in the two metropolitan cities.

I. (See pt. II, p. 371.) This sample differs from the controlled samples of families supplying the detailed data on expenditures. 3 Percentages not computed for fewer than 30 cases. Within the East Central region, it is possible to compare the fre quency of home ownership in cities which vary widely with respect to population. Here we find that ownership is related inversely to city size, being most frequent in the small cities and least frequent in Chicago. HOME OWNERSHIP AND RENT IN RELATION TO INCOME 17 In general, the proportion of families which owned their homes in creased quite consistently with rise in income level above the $750 point. The relatively high frequency of home ownership among fam ilies having current incomes of less than $500, together with internal evidence presented by the schedules as to the character of the earnings, occupation, and age of the head, suggests that such families had been more prosperous in previous years, during which the purchase of a home was undertaken. When the current income reported is more nearly representative of the usual annual income, we should expect home ownership to increase with rise in income since the purchase of a home is not undertaken until families have attained sufficient income to make the initial down payment and to give some assurance that subsequent payments can be met. Using Columbus data to illustrate this point, we see that only one out of every four families with incomes of $750 to $1,000 reported home ownership; of families receiving cur rent incomes between $2,000 and $3,000, about two out of four were home owners; while almost three-fourths of the families which secured incomes amounting to at least $5,000 owned their dwelling quarters. In New York the increase in proportion of home owners with rise in income level was, of course, less rapid. Even at the highest income level fewer than one out of three families owned their home. The percentage of home owners among families receiving relief dur ing the year was relatively low in each community. It will be recalled that in some cities, during the first year of the depression particularly, the possession of property such as a home would have made it impos sible for the relief recipient to pass the “ means test” necessary before receipt of public assistance. The small number of home owners among families having received relief during 1935-36 may be taken to represent those few that had not used up all resources, including the investment in the home, before joining the relief ranks. Among those that retained their homes, it may be assumed that normal re pairs and taxes on the home were smaller than the rent which would have been necessary to shelter the family. In many cases such ex penses may not have been cared for during the current year. Home ownership among occupational groups.—Ownership of the fam ily home is relatively more prevalent among families of business and professional persons than among those of wage earners and clerical persons in the lower income levels in most cities. (See table F of the supplement to the Tabular Summary.) But as wage earners reach the income levels of $1,750 or above, they tend to own their homes relatively more frequently than do the other occupational groups. It is probable that the irregularity of income which characterizes many of the wage-earner occupations makes it difficult to accumulate sufficient reserve for the down payment on a home and that home own ership is undertaken only when the family has achieved a certain de- 18 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6 gree of security. It has already been pointed out that families of wage earners at the upper income levels are, as a rule, larger and of older age composition than families in the other occupational groups. In cities where rented quarters other than apartments are relatively scarce, wage earners may sometimes find it necessary to purchase their homes in order to obtain quarters which are large enough to accomo date all members, yet which are within reach of the housing budget. Of the business and professional families, those receiving their earned income from independent business and independent professional pur suits were most likely to own their homes.2 Several factors combine to favor ownership of the family home in the entrepreneurial groups. The time required to establish a business or a professional career in a community tends to discourage mobility among families of the inde pendent business and professional groups. The incidence of home ownership may be expected to be greater among the more stable ele ments of the urban population. Furthermore many families in the independent business and professional groups use the home as a place of business—such as, for instance, the physician who has an office in his home or the tailor who sets up his shop in his dwelling quarters. Since landlords frequently place restrictions on the use of premises, ownership may permit greater freedom in the operation of a business or profession in the home. Family type comparison oj proportion of home owners.—The relation between home ownership and age of the family head has already been pointed out in the bulletin Family Income in Chicago.3 A brief summary of the findings will be helpful in the present analysis. In Chicago, the median age of the head of native white complete families which owned their dwelling quarters was 48 years as compared with 38 for renting families. While nearly three-fifths of the husbands in renting families had not yet reached 40 years of age, about one-fifth in the owning families were less than 40 years old. These figures do not, of course, take into account the age at which the home was pur chased and hence are in a sense cumulative—that is, the figures on home owners at the older ages include all those who purchased homes at earlier ages and had not in the interval given up ownership. The increasing proportion of owners at the older age is, in part, a result of increasing income. Other factors are involved, however, as indi cated by the fact that, at each income level, these age differences are apparent. Thus, the variations in proportion of home ownership among the family types shown in table G of the supplement to the Tabular Summary are probably associated with differences in the age of the family head. * Supporting data for the analysis of the business and professional groups considered separately are based on the controlled sample and will be found in table 1 of the Tabular Summary. 3 Bull. No. 642: Family Income and Expenditures in Chicago, vol. I, p. 86, table 48. HOME OWNERSHIP AND RENT IN RELATION TO INCOME 19 Home ownership is most frequent, proportionately, among families which include one adult and perhaps one to three other members in addition to the husband and wife (types IV and V). Inasmuch as the additional adult is usually a grown child, the head of such families has attained an age at which home ownership is relatively common. The size of some of the families included in this classification, as well as the age of the head, may account for the frequency of ownership. Among the families with low incomes in Columbus, those consisting of only a husband and wife (type I) owned their homes more fre quently than did larger families. At the higher income levels, how ever, home ownership among families containing additional adult members was more frequent. The ages of the heads of families classified as type I vary widely; older couples whose children have grown up and left the family home as well as newly married couples are included here. The relatively young families—those with one or two children under 16 years of age—ranked low in proportion of home owners. Rental value oj owned homes.—The rental value reported for owned homes represents an estimate of the amount for which such homes would rent, in the light of rents paid for similar accommodations in the same neighborhood. The estimate was made by the family and checked by the investigator. Comparing the data of tables 6 and 7 (see fig. 3), it may be seen that rental values of owned homes tend to be higher than rents of tenant families at practically every income level in the cities surveyed. Since rental value is an estimate, however, it is possible that home owners tend to overevaluate their dwellings. It is also possible that owned quarters are superior to rented quarters occupied by families of the same income level. Data from another study seem to indicate that at comparable income levels the dwelling quarters of home owners contain more rooms than do homes of rent ing families.4 4 In Portland, Oreg., for example, the average number of rooms for the two home tenure groups was as follows: Income class All families ____ _ _____ _____ ________ _ _______ Under $500. _ __________________ _ _____________________________ $500-$999______________ ________________________________________ $1,000-$1,499___________ _________ __________ ___________________ $1,500-$1,999______ ____ _________________________________________ $2,000-$2,999__________________ ____ _____________________________ $3,000-$4,999____________________________________________________ $5,000-$7,499___________________________________________ ________ $7,500 and over _ _ _____________ _ ____ _ Average number of rooms Owner families 5.8 5.5 5.5 5.7 5.8 6.1 6.9 7.1 7.7 Tenant families 4.6 4.4 4.5 4.7 4.8 5.2 5.8 6.8 7.0 From Consum er Use of Selected Goods and Services, by Income Classes, Market Research, Series Nos. 5-10, Feb. 1937, pp. 20-21, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. 20 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 In every city covered in the urban series of the Study of Consumer Purchases rental values of owned homes tended to increase with rises in family income. In the cities shown in table 6, families whose current incomes were below $250 lived in homes which would rent, on the average, for no more than $28 (in New York City) and as little as $19 (in Portland).6 At the $1,000-$1,250 income level, rental values of owned homes had risen to $40 and $22 in these same cities, and at the $5,000 and over income brackets monthly rental values mounted to $65 (in Portland) and $99 (in New York City). These two cities represented the extremes in rental values at every income level.

S BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS____________________ RENTAL VALUE OF OWNED HOMES 80 22 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 Size of city and rental value.—Rental values of owned homes tend to be lower in the small cities than in the middle-sized communities among families of comparable incomes. Similarly, homes in the mid dle-sized communities would rent for less than homes in the large cities of Columbus and Chicago. Since land values are probably higher in the large cities, it it possible that rental values which are partly determined by ground rents are correspondingly higher. The differences in rentals of Columbus and Chicago homes among families in the income groups above $2,000, however, do not fall in line with this hypothesis. Columbus families in the higher income brackets placed a higher rental value on their homes than did Chicago families in the same income classes. This may be due to the fact that, when income permits, home owners whose work is located in Chicago pur chase suburban rather than city dwellings, while those families who do remain within the boundaries of the city may live in homes either with smaller grounds or of less recent construction and hence of lower rental value. In Columbus, on the other hand, there are newly developed sections within the city limits where homes with high rental values are likely to be found. Regional differences in rental values, by income class.—Wide intercity differences in monthly rental values of comparable income groups may be noted from the data of table 6. Among the six large cities, for example, rental values of owned homes in Portland were consistently below those of the other cities at almost every income level, while the rental value of Providence homes tended to exceed those of the other five communities. These differences in rental values may be attributed in part to the fact that the climate of Providence is more severe than that of Portland so the houses must be more substantially constructed to be equally comfortable and housing construction may in general be more expensive in Providence. The difference in cost may also be due to the difference in cost of lumber, which is so commonly used for home construction.6 In the large southern city studied, rental values tended to be below those of most of the other cities, among families of comparable incomes. Here again, the less substantial buildings required for the southern climate probably account in part for the lower rental values. Fur thermore, as will be pointed out in later analysis, at comparable income levels the housing facilities in this southeastern city tended to be poorer than in the large cities of the other regions. Rent of renting families.—The analysis of rent in relation to income is complicated by the fact that the rent charge frequently includes charges for items of household operation and for services. Generally speaking, it is difficult to obtain estimates on the charge for the dwell6 According to the Real Property Inventory, “Urban Housing” report, 77 percent of the houses in the Northwest cities have wooden exteriors while 65 percent in the Northeast cities are wooden. 23 HOME OWNERSHIP AND RENT IN RELATION TO INCOME ing as distinct from these other items where they are billed together. The inclusion of items of household operation is more common in apartment houses than in private residences; furthermore, apart ment dwellers are* relatively more prevalent in some cities than in others, and at certain income levels rather than at others. There fore, comparisons of rents paid at different income levels must take into account the fact that the rent figures have not been tabulated according to the kinds of dwellings rented or by the kinds of services covered by rent. In comparing data on rental value of owned homes and rents paid in comparable income groups as well as family expend itures for fuel, light, and refrigeration and other items of general house hold operation, account must be taken of the items included in the rent charge. Figures are available, however, on the types and fre quency of items included in rent at each income level and they will be presented in chapter IV. Average monthly rent of renting families.—As was true for rental values of owned homes, monthly rents of rented dwellings were highest in New York City and lowest in Portland at almost every income level in the metropolitan and large cities studied. Families in the for mer city reported monthly rents which were from one and one-half to two times as high as those of tenants in the latter city. Chicago families had the second highest rents. Atlanta renting families (white) occupied a mixed position; in the income brackets below $1,000 they had even lower rents than did Portland families, while among families at the upper income levels, rents in Atlanta ranked higher than in some of the other cities.

Size of city and rents of rented dwellings.— In the East Central region rents were consistently highest in the metropolis, Chicago, and lowest in the small cities. Except for rents of Springfield fam ilies in the income brackets above $1,250, the rents in middle-sized cities were below those of Columbus, which in turn had lower rents than did Chicago. As later analysis will show (ch. IV) a relatively high per centage of families in the combined middle-sized cities (Muncie, New Castle, and Springfield, 111.) had heat included in the rent bill. It is quite possible that Springfield families alone accounted for this large percentage but no tabulation of this item by individual cities is available.

This sample differs from the controlled sample of families supplying the detailed data on expenditures. 2 Percentage is not given because net current incomes under $260 formed only a fraction of current receipts, which included borrowings, drawing on savings, etc. HOME OWNERSHIP AND RENT IN RELATION TO INCOME 25 In view of the differences in rental values of owned homes by size of city, it seems likely that differences in rent of rented dwellings are probably also indicative of more than mere differences in the items included in the rent charge. Ratio of rent to income.—Although average rents increased sub stantially with rises in the income level, the ratio of rent to income declined steadily in each city as income rose. Thus, the rent for which families in the income class of $250 to $500 had contracted amounted to between four-tenths and eight-tenths of their current incomes. Families having incomes of $5,000 or more allocated only slightly more than one-tenth of their income to the rent item. In interpreting the high ratio of rent to income among nonrelief families at the bottom of the income scale, several qualifications must be kept in mind. The current income of many of the families at the lowest income levels does not represent the value of their living as measured by total expenditures, because borrowing, withdrawals from savings and the like were not included. Families which had had higher incomes may have been reluctant to move from their accus tomed neighborhoods and living quarters even when their incomes did not warrant their remaining. Furthermore the rental rate reported represents the amount which tenant families contracted to pay and not necessarily the amount which they actually paid during the year; obviously in some of these cases, rental payments were allowed to lapse. The portion of current income which relief families allotted to rent was lower than that for nonrelief families having incomes of less than $750. Families receiving relief have, as a rule, fewer resources upon which to draw; moreover the agency administering assistance fre quently encourages the family to adjust expenditures for rent to their reduced income. Rents of Negro renting families .— Rents paid by Negro families in New York were substantially higher than those of Negro tenant families in either Columbus or Atlanta and were higher, at most income levels, than rents for white families in the metropolis. As a partial explanation, we see that nine-tenths or more of the New York Negro renting families with incomes between $500 and $3,500 lived in multi ple-family dwellings, which are more likely to include such household operation items as heat and light in the rent payment than are singlefamily dwellings. The proportion of Negro families living in such dwellings was higher than for white families in this metropolis at com parable income levels. The dwelling which houses from two to four families was even less prevalent among Negro renters than among white tenants in New York City; the characteristic type of multiplefamily structure among the Negroes was the apartment for five or more families. 26 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 T able 9 .— Average m onthly rent reported by Negro renting fam ilies , by income c la ss 1 [Families containing husband and wife, both native born] Income class All fam ilies..___ ____ Relief . _____ _ Nonrelief__________ Under $250 ___ $250-$499____ $500-$749 _____ $750-$999_______ $1,000-$1, 249___ New Colum York2 bus Atlanta $31.70 $14.70 25.70 12.50 36.60 16.40 30.30 13.20 22.60 12.40 30.50 14.00 29.90 15.80 33.60 17. 00 $10.70 9.20 11.50 8.90 9.80 10.60 11.80 14.20 Income class A ll familes—Continued.

I. (See pt. II, p. 371.) This sample differs from the controlled sample of families supplying the detailed data on expenditures. 2 Data are for Negro families residing in areas where one-third or more of the family heads were born in the United States according to the 1930 census. 3 Insufficient number of renters in sample for computation of average. Negro families in Columbus paid slightly higher rents than did Negroes in Atlanta. (See table 9.) Unlike the situation in New York, the rents of Negro families in each of these cities were lower than the corresponding rents of white families. In both of these cities, the type of multiple-family dwelling which accommodates five or more families was used by a smaller proportion of Negro tenants than of white at comparable income levels. Rents and rental values among occupational groups.— Dwellings occu pied by families whose earnings are derived from wage-earner occupa tions have lower rents and rental values than do the homes of families in the white-collar occupations. (See table H of the supplement to the Tabular Summary.) In Chicago, for example, families in the business and professional groups maintained rent levels which aver aged about one-fourth higher than those paid by wage-earner families in parallel income groups. Although part of this difference may be attributed to the fact that rent is less likely to include items such as heat, light, and refrigeration among wage-earner families since they tend to occupy apartments less frequently than do the business and professional groups, part of the difference represents lower dwelling rent. This difference among occupational groups is corroborated by the rental-value data for owned homes—figures which, by definition, do not include any operation charges. At every income level, the wage-earner group lived in dwellings having a lower rental value than that of the other occupational groups. Families of clerical workers tended to rent or own homes having rents or rental values between those of the other two occupational groups. Analyses in chapter VI of the number of rooms and facilities with which homes are equipped indicate that the quarters occupied by the wage-earner groups were smaller, on the average, and less well-equipped with modern facilities than were those of the other occupational groups. HOME OWNERSHIP AND RENT IN RELATION TO INCOME 27 Rents and rental values among fam ily types.— As would be expected from our previous discussion of the value of housing of families of different composition,7 the larger families of types VI and VII tended to pay the lowest monthly rents. Although no analysis is available on the type of dwellings occupied by renting families of the various types, it seems probable that the largest families are less apt to live in apartments where items such as heat are covered by rent. It must be remembered, however, that even when a figure is obtained for total housing expenditures including fuel, light, and refrigeration, families of types VI and VII rank low. Furthermore, as may be seen from the Chicago data (see table I of the supplement to the Tabular Summary) rental values of owned homes among these large families of types VI and VII tended to be lower, at comparable income levels, than were rental values of the other family types. Families composed of only a husband and wife (type I), on the other hand, lived in homes with higher rents and rental values than did the other types at most income levels. In terms of per capita income the two-person family is better situated financially than the other types with the same family income; thus it is not surprising to find them allocating more for their living quarters. 7 S ee c h . I , p . 7. Chapter III Expenses of Home Ownership Since families that own the homes in which they live have quite different types of expenditures from tenant families, a separate treat ment of the expenditures attributable to home ownership is presented. In addition to the current expenses on the owned home such as taxes, interest on mortgage, expense for repairs and replacements, and insur ance on the dwelling, a nonmoney expense of home ownership is also shown. This last item is the difference between the rental value of the dwelling and the current money expenses. Theoretically, home owners could rent out their homes and make other living arrangements if circumstances required. Thus, although the difference between the money cost of owning a home and the rental value of the home is regarded as nonmoney income resulting from home ownership, this imputed income may also be regarded as a nonmoney expense of home owners. Money expenses of home ownership.—The money expenses of own ership such as taxes, repairs, replacements, mortgage interest, insur ance, etc., amount to about half of the rental value.1 (See fig. 4.) In 1935-36, the year of this survey, many families were just beginning to get on their feet financially and were probably undertaking to make repairs, etc., which had been needed for several years. Whether the expenses on owned homes would be as large following a period of several years of prosperity is an open question. Disregarding differences in the income distribution of home own ers in the large cities, average money expenses on owned homes ranged from $176 in Omaha to $311 in Providence. In New York the aver age was $459, while in Chicago the average amounted to $272. For intercity comparison, however, only families with the same incomes should be compared. (See pt. II, table 6.) At each income level, home owners in New York City had higher average expenses on their owned homes than did families in the other cities surveyed. Chicago home owners tended to have the second highest expenses although in a number of income brackets exceptions to this statement may be noted. Of the six large cities, current expenses on owned homes seemed to be greatest in Providence and least in Portland. 1 To obtain the percentage which money expenses represent of rental value, the percentages in table 19, following, should be subtracted from 100 percent. The yearly rental value of home owners surveyed in the controlled sample appears in table J of the supplement to the Tabular Summary, p. 360. 28 29 EXPENSES OF HOME OWNERSHIP CURRENT MONEY EXPENSES FOR OWNED HOME AS A PERCENTAGE OF RENTAL VALUE IN SIX CITIES AT SELECTED INCOME LEVELS 1935-1936 NONRELIEF WHITE FAMILIES INCLUDING HUSBAND AND WIFE BOTH NATIVE BORN CHICAGO PERCENTAGE 500 750 AND UNDER 1000 1250 AND UNDER PROVIDENCE 2000 3000 7500 2250 3500 10,000 AND UNDER AND UNDER ANO UNDER 500 750 ANO UNDER 1000 1250 ANO UNDER INCOME CLASS IN DOLLARS u.

As the higher income levels are reached, the expenses on the owned homes rose until at top brackets the money outlay on the home was very large. As a percentage of rental values of the dwellings, however, money expenses of home owners at the extremes of the income scale did not differ very materially in most cities. In the following pages, the specific expenses entailed by home ownership and the capital investments made during the year will be discussed. Taxes during 1985-36 on owned homes.— Data on taxes refer to the amounts incurred during the year but not necessarily the amounts actually paid. The rate of taxation for real estate differs significantly among various cities. In some cities the taxes are assessed on a pro portion of market value; while in other instances taxes are in terms of the full market value. The types of items for which the general real-estate tax is levied also vary from community to community. Whereas the real estate tax may be separated from the taxes for paving, upkeep of streets, building of storm sewers, etc., in some cities, provision for these same items may be included in the general realestate tax in other communities. Furthermore, the tax rate may be uniform throughout the community or different in the various sections of the city. Taxation for improvements may be shared throughout the city or may be assessed against the property affected by the im provement. For these reasons therefore, it is felt that the combina tion of taxes with special assessments more accurately portrays the taxation item of expenditure for home owners than does the tax item alone. Average expenditures for taxes and special assessments on owned homes.— Since taxes are based upon value of the home, we should expect to find a more or less consistent increase in average amount of taxes with rises in income level in all communities surveyed. In most of the cities the yearly taxes and special assessments averaged between $40 and $100 for home owners whose incomes for the year 1935-36 were below $3,000. (See table 10.) In New York City the averages were considerably higher; at no income level did the average fall below $125, and in most levels it ranged between $130 and $175 for the year. Since rental values tended to be higher in New York City, however, larger taxes are to be expected. But this does not entirely account for the difference, because when shown as a percentage of rental value the taxes and special assessments of home owners in New York City rank above those of the other cities.

In the East Central region the average taxes and assessments in small cities tended to be less than those in the middle-sized communi ties at every income level except the lowest. However, since rental values were lower in the small cities, taxes represented a slightly larger fraction of the rental value than in the middle-sized cities at every income group. (See table 11.) Taxes in Columbus fell below those of the middle-sized and smaller communities both in terms of averages and as percentages of rental value. In Chicago on the other hand, the average amount of taxes at given income levels exceeded that of families in the other East Central cities. But the ratio of taxes to rental values in Chicago was not con sistently larger or smaller than in the other communities. Thus it cannot be concluded that taxes vary with city size in the region discussed. Taxes an d assessm ents as a percentage of rental va lu e .— Although wide intercity differences are found in the ratio of expenditures for taxes on owned homes, within each city the percentage is quite uni- 32 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 form throughout most of the income range. (See table 11.) In Chicago, Providence, and Denver taxes generally formed about 20 percent of the rental value, while in Atlanta and Omaha, taxes amounted to between 15 and 20 percent of the rental value. In Columbus at most income levels taxes constituted slightly less than 15 percent of the rental value. The ratios in New York City, where home owners were distributed in any one of five boroughs, were not so uniform— due to fluctuations in rental values as well as in taxes at given income levels. Taxes in this metropolis represented roughly between 23 and 33 percent of the rental value. Taxes and assessments oj homes of Negroes.— Since Negroes tend to be more or less restricted to certain districts, it is not surprising to find that their taxes differ from those of white families at comparable in come levels in Columbus and in Atlanta. If taxes are shown as a percentage of rental values, the taxes of the Negro group represent a smaller fraction of the rental value than is found of white home owners in most income brackets in these two cities.

Percentage of home owners having expenditures for repairs and replace ments.— Included as repairs and replacements were those expenditures which replaced or renovated worn parts and which, therefore, main tained rather than added to the value of the home. Structural additions to the home were considered as improvements and not classified as current expenses, but as increases in assets. It was often difficult to differentiate between repairs and improvements, particularly if the material used in making the repair differed from that originally in the home. However, in order to simplify the field interviews and editorial procedure, replacements, even though with more costly material than that originally used, were regarded as repairs. The proportion of home owners having expenditures for repairs and replacements in the year 1935-36 tended to rise with income level, especially among families having incomes of $1,000 or more during the year. (See pt. II, table 6.) In the metropolises and large cities from 23 to 36 percent of the families with $1,000 to $1,250 income reported expenditures for repairs or replacements. At the $2,000-$2,250 income level, from 36 to 61 percent of the owners made repairs or replacements, while at the$5,000-$7,500 level from 46 to 77 percent reported expenditures of this sort. In practically every income class a lower percentage of families in the Southeastern cities had expenditures for repairs and replacements than in the Northern and Central cities of comparable size.2 Home owners in New York City represented the other extreme; they tended to have expenses for these items more frequently than did families which possessed their homes in the other communities. Average expenditures for repairs and replacements.— The exten siveness of repairs made by home owners may vary greatly from year to year and from owner to owner. During a period of great depression, such as occurred in the early thirties, the upkeep of many homes was neglected, and thus in the year 1935-36 major repairs may have been more frequent than would have been the case in a year following a period of prosperity. The average expenditures for repairs or replacements of those home owners who had such expenditures rarely fell below $50 for the year in any income class and seldom exceeded $200 in the income 2 This regional difference seems to be corroborated by the data from the Real Property Inventory, 1934-36. Approximately 23 percent of the urban dwelling units surveyed in the Southeast as compared with 16 per cent in all urban centers surveyed were either unfit for use or in need of major repairs.

The expenditures for such items tended to be larger at the upper than at the lower income levels, but extreme fluctuations in the averages were found in every income class in the cities surveyed. (See table 12.) Among home owners as a whole, the average expense for repairs and replacements amounted to between $62 and $113, for the metropolises and larger cities. These averages represent roughly one-tenth of rental value. Im provem en ts on ow ned hom es .— As was pointed out above, the cost of improvements or structural additions to the home was a capital investment and as such was treated as an increase in assets rather than as a current expense of home ownership. The proportion of home owners who improved their homes was, in each city and at every income level, considerably lower than the proportion who merely made repairs. Omaha and Atlanta had the most owners, T a b l e 1 2 . —Average expenditures for repairs and replacements for families reporting repairs or replacements, by income class A.

The amount spent for improvements by owners having such expenditures tended to be higher at the top income levels than at the bottom but there was no consistent increase with rise in income level. With reference to table 13, we find that Providence home owners spent the most, on the average, for improvements ($266) and Omaha owners, the least ($71). In the metropolises and most of the large cities home owners who reported such expenditures spent, on the average, two to three times as much for improvements as did those owners making repairs and replacements. But at given income levels within each city, improvements sometimes cost more and some times less than repairs among families reporting these items. In terest on m ortgage .— Next to taxes, repairs, and replacements, interest on mortgage constitutes one of the major current expenses 36 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 of home ownership.3 As would be expected, the amount of interest payment tended to increase with rise in income level since rental value figures indicate that homes are more expensive as the higher income levels are reached. (See pt. II, table 6.) The average amount of interest on mortgages at a given income level is, in part, a function of difference in the proportion of homes having mortgages. Although a tabulation of the percentage of mortgaged homes was not prepared from the controlled sample, such a tabulation is available for the random sample of families giving the short inter view.4 These percentages are presented in table L of the supplement to the Tabular Summary although they are not based on the same sample of families as those giving the detailed expenditure data. From these figures it may be noted that mortgages are slightly less prevalent, proportionately, at the extremes of the income range. In Chicago, for instance, whereas 67 percent of all nonrelief native white complete families which were home owners had mortgaged homes, the proportion of mortgaged homes fell below this percentage at every income level up to $750 and at each interval above $3,000. At the $10,000 and over level only 35 percent of the owned homes were mortgaged. The average amount paid as interest on mortgage tended to be higher in New York City than in the other cities surveyed. Home owners in this metropolis were paying an average of between $150 and $250 as mortgage interest in most of the income brackets. At the extremes of the income scale— under $750 and $7,500 and over— the interest payments deviated from these averages. Chicago home own ers ranked close to those in New York City in the size of their interest expenditures, and Providence owners quite consistently had larger expenditures for this item than did home owners in the other five large communities. In general, however, home owners of given incomes had very similar mortgage interest expenses in the different large cities. As would be expected from rental value data, interest on mortgages tends to rise with income. In no city did the average interest due among home owners with incomes of $500-$750 for the year average as much as $40. At the next higher income class the average did not exceed $75 in any city. The average interest con tinued to rise with income, until at the $5,000-$7,500 level home owners had interest charges of no less than $65 (in Omaha) and as much as $237 (in New York City). 3 Interest on mortgage was separated from the amortization of the mortgage. If families were unable to separate the two payments, an estimate of the amount of interest was computed from an experience table which took into account: (1) The amount of the payment last made, (2) the frequency of payment, whether monthly, quarterly, or yearly, (3) the number of payments that had been made to date, (4) the amount of the mortgage when given, (5) the term of years for which the mortgage contract was written (the amortiza tion period), (6) the interest rate, (7) whether payment included taxes and insurance. 4 See U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulls. Nos. 642 through 647 and 649: Family Income and Expenditure, vol. I, Washington, 1939. 37 EXPENSES OF HOME OWNERSHIP Interest on mortgage expressed as a percentage of rental value of owned homes appears in table 14. New York City home owners lead the owners in other cities in size of interest payments at most income levels according to these figures also. Interest on mortgage for families which owned their homes in this metropolis, represented roughly from 25 to 35 percent of the rental value of homes in all but a few income levels. In Chicago, Providence, Columbus, and Atlanta the comparable percentages were slightly lower— between 20 and 30 percent as a rule— while in the other cities surveyed the most com monly occurring ratios were between 15 and 20 percent.

No one city stands out as having a consistently high proportion of owners which decreased mortgages, but Atlanta, Columbus, Portland, and Omaha tended to rank high. In each of these cities approximately one-half of the home owners paid off part of the principal of the mortgage; this proportion is almost equal to the percentage of home owners which reported mortgages in the random samples for these four cities (table L of the supplement to the Tabular Summary).

(See table 15.) New York home owners re ported the largest average payments on the principal ($557) while Portland’s owners averaged the lowest in the large cities ($169).6 In the East Central region the average amount paid off on mort gages was highest in the metropolis and lowest in the small cities.

Of the home owners in the large cities, as few as 3 percent (Portland) and no more than 5 percent (Omaha) reported a net increase in mortgage. (See table N of the supplement to the Tabu lar Summary.) The amounts borrowed on their homes by families increasing their liabilities in the form of a mortgage were of course significantly larger than the amounts which other home owners paid on their principal. Among home owners increasing their mortgages, those in Denver reported the largest average increase for the year, $2,812. Omaha represented the other extreme with an average in crease of only $1,214. The variations between cities and at different income levels were large and followed no consistent pattern as may be seen from the figures in table 16. Insurance on owned homes.— Insurance on the owned home is one of the minor expenses of ownership. In the East Central cities sur veyed, the average expenditure for insurance ranged from a few dol lars at the lowest income levels where rental values of the homes were also low, to as much as $87 for homes in which the rental value amounted to over $1,300 for the year of the survey. In each city there was a progressive rise in the size of the insurance payment with each increase in income level. If expressed as a percentage of rental value, however, insurance payments on the owned homes showed no consistent variation from income level to income level. During the year of the survey, expenditures for insurance represented from 1 to 4 percent of the rental value of the owned homes. Insurance in middle-sized and small cities tends to be somewhat higher than in Columbus and Chicago at comparable income levels, particularly if expressed as a percentage of rental value. Since fire insurance forms the major portion of the home insurance expense, differences in rates for this type of insurance probably account for the correlation between insurance expenditures and city size. The average payments for insurance shown in part II, table 6, are based upon all home owners— those having insurance payments during the year as well as those who did not have insurance expenditures in 1935-36. As a rule, fire insurance on owned homes in most regions tends to be on a 3-year basis, although some insurances are written for longer or shorter periods. No attempt was made to prorate pay ments for previous or coming years as an allocation of expense for the schedule year. It is quite possible that many home owners had not paid insurance during the years immediately preceding 1935-36, so although most of the policies may have covered 3 years, it does not necessarily follow that only one-third of the families would have made insurance payments during the year of survey. 41 EXPENSES OF HOME OWNERSHIP P ercen tage o f hom e-ow ning fa m ilie s having expenditures fo r in su ran ce on ow ned hom e. — The relatively large average expenditure for insurance on owned homes made by home owners in New York City and Atlanta was due to a larger percentage of families having insurance due during the year. In these two cities well over half of the families in most income brackets had insurance expense. As a general rule, the proportions having insurance charges tended to be somewhat lower in the other communities, but in only rare instances did fewer than one-third of the home owners report on insurance payment. There is no consistent relation between income and proportion of families making insurance payments in the various communities.

Since rental values rise with increases in income, so does the insurance expense. Within a given income level, however, wide intercity differences exist in amount spent for insurance. Chicago and Omaha home owners tended to spend a few dollars more for insurance than did families in New York City and in the other large cities; but there are exceptions to this general ization. Among home owners in cities of the East Central region those living in middle-sized cities tended to have higher insurance premiums than did home owners in Columbus; and at a number of income levels the payments in these smaller communities exceeded those of home owners in Chicago. Thus it appears that expenditures for insur ance on homes are, as a rule, slightly higher in the smaller than in the larger cities. This correlation with city size is not, however, without exceptions. A verage non m on ey expense o f (or im p u ted incom e fro m ) ow neroccu pied hom es .—As the above analysis has shown, current money expenses of home ownership tend to fall below rental values. The difference between the money expenses of home ownership and the rental value of the owner-occupied dwelling was treated as nonmoney income from home ownership in arriving at family income. But, as was pointed out above, this difference must also be considered a non money expense to home owners, because they could be renting their dwellings to other families and receiving the full rental value from tenants. Since, however, the owners prefer to occupy the dwellings themselves, they should regard the rental value as a whole as their expense. Part of this expense is paid in the form of taxes, interest on mortgage, repairs and replacements, and other items discussed above, while the other portion of rental value may be represented as a non money expense to home owners. In one sense, this nonmoney expense represents the consumption of the interest return on the money invested in the owned home. If the family had invested its capital in stocks*, or bonds or in some business enterprise instead of in the purchase of; a home, the family would probably be receiving an interest or profit return which could be applied on the rent of a dwelling. Whether the return to the home owner exceeds the return which could be received from the investment of the capital elsewhere cannot be ascertained from the data of the present study since figures are lacking on the amount invested and date of purchase of the home. Thus the present analysis will be confined to the amount of nonmoney expense (or imputed income) secured by families which were home owners and the relation of this expense to the rental value of the dwelling. 43 EXPENSES OF HOME OWNERSHIP During the year 1935-36, the difference between rental value and money expenses of home ownership amounted to, on the average, from $150 to $217 for home owners in the metropolitan and large cities surveyed. Except for an occasional income group in which an extreme deviation or two was noticeably reflected in the average, nonmoney expense of home ownership increased with rise in income level. (See table 18.) In a few instances, as in two income classes in New York City, the money expenses of home ownership exceeded the rental value of the home, with a resultant deficit or negative nonmoney expense for the owned home.

Home owners in no other large city consistently ranked high or low with respect to these nonmoney expenses. Fur thermore, these expenses do not appear to be related to city size. In the New England region home owners in the middle-sized cities had lower nonmoney expenses than did Providence families, while in some income brackets the expenses in small cities exceeded those of the large city in this region. N o n m o n ey expenses o j hom e ow n ersh ip as a percentage o j ren tal valu e .— Although the amount of nonmoney expense of home ownership tends to become greater with each rise in income and rental level, the ratio of this figure to rental value does not rise with income. Instead, the ratio tends to vary around 50 percent of the rental value. Due to the fact that this is a survey of expenses during a single year, some families were found making major repairs on their homes and having extremely high expenses. Thus, fluctuations in the averages are to be expected in this relatively small controlled sample. There does not appear to be any consistent difference by city size in the percentage which nonmoney home ownership expense forms of rental value in cities of the various regions. At most income levels, however, this ratio was lower for home owners in New York and Chi cago than in the six large cities. (See table 19.) In New York, for example, the nonmoney expense constituted less than 35 percent of the rental value in practically every income level, and in two income groups money expenses exceeded the rental value thus leaving a neg ative return on home ownership for the year. Obviously this negative return cannot be regarded as typical of every year or even of the year of the survey since a larger sample would probably have yielded enough families having a positive return to offset the extreme expenditures made by a family or two at these income levels. 45 EXPENSES OF HOME OWNERSHIP T able 19 .—Nonmoney expense of home ownership as a percentage of total rental value of owned homes, by income class A.

Chapter IV Items Covered by the R ent Payment Rents paid by tenant families vary widely from region to region as well as among cities of different size. Many of these differences which were indicated in chapter II may now be explained, at least in part, on the basis of what the rental payment includes. Before turning to a consideration of the proportion of renting families which have such facilities as heat and light included in the rent, an examination of the prevalence of multiple-family rented dwellings in the various cities will serve as an indication of the relative inci dence of rents which may be high because they include operation items.1 The type of dwelling which the family rents determines, to a large extent, what facilities will be included in rent. In apartment houses which accommodate at least five families, heat is commonly covered by rental payments. The expense for water rent is frequently met by the landlord and hence covered by the monthly payment made by the tenant. Separate gas and electric meters are often installed for each unit in a large apartment house so that the tenant pays for these utilities directly; even in such cases refrigeration may be pro vided by the management. Because a significant proportion of the larger apartment houses are located fairly close to the business sections of the town where space is limited, garages are provided less frequently in connection with such dwellings than in cases where the building houses fewer families. Tenants renting flats or one-half of a two-family house frequently pay for their own heat and other utilities but are likely to have a garage included in the rent. When the landlord occupies one unit in the dwelling, however, separate meters are not always installed and thus the rent payment may include light, gas, heat, etc. This is particularly true in the case of families which occupy what are com monly called light-housekeeping apartments in the home of the landlord; such quarters are frequently furnished and the rent covers, in addition, linens and dishes. At the other extreme are the tenants which occupy one-family houses. Aside from the usual inclusion of a garage, their rent pay ment commonly covers only the actual occupancy of the dwelling 1 The data on type of dwelling of renting families which are presented in table O of the supplement to the Tabular Summary were obtained from the random sample of families rather than from the controlled sample giving detailed data on expenditures. 46 ITEMS COVERED BY THE RENT PAYMENT 47 and their separate expenses for heat, light, water, etc., are comparable to those of home owners. The high rents in New York are associated with the fact that not more than two-tenths and as few as one-tenth of the renting families occupied single-family dwellings. Apartments in buildings housing five or more families were the most common type of dwelling unit at all income levels. (See table O of the supplement to the Tabular Summary.) The predominance of this type of dwelling increased with rise in income level while the proportion of renting families living in houses which accommodated two, three, or four families declined with increasing income. As in New York between eight- and nine-tenths of the Chicago renters occupied multiple-family dwellings. Among Chicago fam ilies with incomes between $500 and $1,500, however, the most prevalent types of dwelling were those buildings which accommodated from two to four families; above this income level, apartments in large buildings were the most popular. It is interesting to note that the proportion of Providence families which rented multiple-family dwellings was as large or larger than the corresponding proportions in New York and Chicago. This observation is applicable only to families having incomes between $500 and $3,500; a rapidly increasing proportion of Providence tenants with family incomes of $3,500 or more rented single-dwelling units. Quite unlike the situation in New York and Chicago, how ever, a rather small proportion of families in Providence—where rents ranked relatively low—rented apartments in buildings for five or more families. The overwhelming majority of these renters (about eight-tenths of all renting families with incomes from $500 to $2,500) occupied two- or three-family houses. Thus for the three cities in which equally high proportions of renting families are found in multiple dwellings, the lowest average rents were found in Prov idence, where most of the renters lived in relatively small buildings, and the highest average rents were found in New York which is characterized by larger apartment buildings. In Columbus, where one-fourth to more than one-half of the renting families at different income levels occupied multiple-family dwellings, flats and two-family houses predominated over the larger dwellings. The proportion of renters living in multiple-family dwellings was somewhat higher in Atlanta (38 to 53 percent); among the lower income groups here, also, flats and two-family dwellings predominated but at the higher levels the proportion of apartments for five or more families is greater. Among tenant families with incomes of $500 to $2,000, single-family dwellings were most prevalent in the large West Central community covered in the survey, Omaha-Council Bluffs. Only about one-fourth 48 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 of the renters in this city occupied multiple-family dwellings; units for two, three, and four families were about as common as larger apartment houses. Starting at the $2,000 income class, the propor tion of families in this community which lived in dwellings that accomodated more than one family exceeded that found in Portland. Only between 19 and 35 percent of the renting families in Port land—where average rents were low—occupied multiple-family dwell ings. At all income levels in this Pacific Northwest city, the pro portion of renting families which lived in apartments housing five or more families was considerably larger than the proportion in dwellings which accommodated from two to five families. The proportion of renting families which occupy one-family homes increases with decreasing city size in the East Central region. In the middle-sized and small cities, not more than about one out of every four tenant families resided in a multiple-family dwelling. Almost all of these multiple-family dwellings house from two to four families. Inclusion of heat in rent 'payment.—As we should expect from our preceding analysis of type of dwelling, heat is covered by the rental payment of the majority of tenants in New York City and in Chicago. No fewer than six-tenths of the New. York tenant families rented homes which were heated. (See pt. II, table 5.) The proportion of rented dwellings heated by the landlord tended to rise with increase in income along with the proportion of renting families living in the large apartment houses. At each income level, however, the percent age of heated dwellings exceeded the proportion of renting families occupying quarters in apartment houses for five or more families, in dicating that the rental payment for some of the smaller multiplefamily dwellings included heat. Next to New York, Chicago had the highest proportion of dwellings which were rented with heat included in the rent charge. (See fig. 5.) But some of the renting families with incomes of $500 to $1,000 had to provide their own heat, although they lived in buildings which accom modated at least five families. Although the incidence of multiple-family dwellings in Providence was about as great as in the metropolises, the proportion of dwellings where heat was covered by the rent bill was strikingly lower. The characteristic multiple-family dwelling in Providence, however, accom modated fewer than five families. In general, we find more families whose rent payment covered heat than there were living in the relatively large dwelling units. Thus a portion of the families which rented two-, three-, or four-family houses had central heat for the entire building. This is particularly true in the middle-sized and small cities of the East Central region. Inasmuch as the proportion of rented heated dwellings exceeds, in a ITEMS COVERED BY THE BENT PAYMENT Fig. 5 49 PROPORTION OF RENTED DWELLINGS HAVING HEAT INCLUDED IN RENT CHARGE IN SIX CITIES AT SELECTED INCOME LEVELS 1935-1936 NONRELIEF WHITE FAMILIES INCLUDING HUSBANO AND WIFE BOTH NATIVE BORN NEWYORK PERCENTAGE 500 AND UNDER 750 CHICAGO 1000 2000 ANDUNOER AND UNDER 30 0 0 7500 1250 22 50 3500 10,000 ANOUNOER AND UNDER 500 1000 AND UNDER AND UNDER 750 1250 INCOME CLASS IN DOLLARS U.

Negro families rented heated dwellings in New York with greater frequency than did white families, but the inclusion of heat in the rent payment of Negroes in Columbus and Atlanta was rare. This is in accordance with the findings that the bulk of all Negro renting fami lies in New York occupied apartments in buildings for five or more families, while those in Columbus and Atlanta lived in smaller multiple-family dwellings or in single-family houses. Inclusion of light m rent 'payment.— The inclusion of the expense for electricity in the rent charge is much less common than is the in clusion of heat. In New York, for instance, 16 percent of the rent ing families having incomes between $500 and $750 and not more than 6 percent of the families with larger incomes occupied dwellings in which the landlord paid the light bill. The proportion of rented homes which included light was slightly higher in some of the other cities, but at no income level did it approximate the percentage of rented multiple-family dwellings. This bears out the observation that the electricity used by a renting family, particularly by those living in large apartment houses, is usually registered on a separate meter. The inclusion of light in the rent payment tended to be more com mon for Negro than for white families in New York. It is probable that a larger proportion of the Negro than of the white families were subletting quarters rented on a ‘‘light-housekeeping’’ basis. In Co lumbus and Atlanta electricity was provided by the landlord very infrequently except among Negro families having incomes between $2,000 and $2,250; the bulk of these renting families lived in buildings housing less than five families. Inclusion of garage in rent payment.—Wide regional and city-size differences are apparent from the figures in part II, table 5, on the percentage of tenant families whose rental payment covers garage ex pense. There is a consistent tendency, however, for the inclusion of a garage to be more common at the higher income levels than at the low. As might be expected, the garage is included infrequently in the metropolises and in Providence where most of the renting families occupy multiple-family structures. In the other cities the rents for at least one-half of the dwellings rented by families with in comes of $1,250 or more were quoted to cover the expense for garage. In spite of the prevalence of single-family rented houses in the middle-sized and small cities of the East Central region, the inclusion of a garage tends to be less common at the middle income levels than in the large city covered in this region, Columbus. In explanation, we find that automobile ownership is slightly more frequent in Colum- ITEMS COVERED BY THE RENT PAYMENT 51 bus.2 This city-size difference in the frequency with which garage is included in rent must not be considered as typical of the country as a whole. In fact, in the regions in which automobiles are owned by a larger proportion of the families in the middle-sized than in the large cities the inclusion of the expense for garage in the rent payment occurs with greater frequency in the former than in the latter cities. At only one income level, do we find garage included in the rent payment of New York City Negro families. Garage expense was cov ered more frequently by the rent payments of Negroes in Columbus and Atlanta, but in these cities Negro families were less likely to receive this service with their rent than were white families. Inclusion of water in rent 'payment.—The inclusion of expense for water in the rent charge reflects regional differences in custom rather than type of dwelling. In New York, Chicago, Providence, Columbus, and Denver, the rental payment of practically all tenant families cov ered the cost of water. The type of dwelling most prevalent among renting families varied widely in these five cities. In the remaining cities there is a tendency for water to be included less frequently at the upper income levels than at the lower. This tendency is apparent even in Omaha-Council Bluffs where at the upper income levels we found an increase with income in the proportion of renting families occupying multiple-family dwellings, and particularly quarters in apartment houses for five or more families. Although about nine-tenths or more of the tenant families in the metropolis and large city of the East Central region rented dwellings where water was furnished by the landlord, only from one- to fivetenths of the renting families in the middle-sized cities of this region received this service. The proportion was higher in the small cities, ranging from four-tenths to more than seven-tenths. Like the white families, practically all Negro renting families in New York and Columbus had water included in their rent payment. In Atlanta, where the custom of including water rent with the rent of the dwellings was less universal, the rents of Negro families were more likely to cover the expense of this item than were the payments of white families. Inclusion of furnishings in rent payment.—A larger proportion of the families living in the three large western cities (Omaha-Council Bluffs, Denver, and Portland) rented furnished dwellings than in cities in the other sections of the country covered by this study.3 In view of the infrequency of apartments in these western cities, as compared with New York and Chicago for instance, this finding at first appears inconsistent. The explanation is undoubtedly related to the greater 2 See Bull. 648, vol. VI: Travel and transportation. 3 No data were obtained on the amount of furnishings and equipment supplied. 52 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 mobility of tenant families in the western United States4 and the larger demand for furnished dwellings which such mobility creates. 4 The duration of occupancy of urban rented dwelling units in various geographical regions is shown as follows in the Works Progress Administration publication Urban Housing, A Summary of Real Property Inventories Conducted as Work Projects, 1934-36 (table O, p. 21): Duration of present occupancy All re gions * North east South east North west South west Cali fornia Percentage distribution of units Total__________ ________ _ Less than 1year. _ ______________ 1 to 2years........................................... 2 to 5 years..................... ....................... 6years or more.................................. . * Excludes New York City. 100.0 39.6 17.8 24.7 17.9 100.0 34.3 18.5 26.8 20.4 100.0 45.7 16.1 22.3 15.9 100.0 51.2 17.0 20.0 11.8 100.0 62.3 15.1 14.7 7.9 100.0 47.5 17.0 22.9 12.6 Chapter V Expenditures for Household Operation Expenditures for general household operation such as for telephone, laundry, stationery and stamps, water rent, etc., were not included in the analysis of money value of housing discussed in chapter I. Costs of these items, together with expenditures for paid household help and for home furnishings and equipment, must also be considered when ascertaining how much it costs to maintain a home. The reports on Family Expenditure, volume II,1 have combined the above mentioned items with the total value of family housing to obtain total expenditures for home maintenance. The analysis of the detailed expenditures for general household operation, for fuel, light, and refrigeration, and for paid household help form the subject matter of the present chapter.2 Expenditures for household furnishings and equipment are considered in a separate publication.3 Expenditures for Fuel, Light, and Refrigeration Fuel, light, and refrigeration as a percentage of money value of housing.— As pointed out in chapter IV, the expense for fuel, light, and refrigera tion is quite frequently covered by the dwelling rent payment. The figures in table 20,4 which show the proportion of total housing expense allocated to fuel, light, and refrigeration, are consequently an under evaluation since it is impossible to ascertain what portion of the rent payment for heated quarters, for instance, should be deducted from rent and included as heat. Expenditures for fuel, light, and refrig eration as such will therefore tend to form a smaller proportion of total housing expense in those cities and in those income groups where home ownership is relatively infrequent and particularly where a 1See U. S4Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulls. Nos. 642 through 647 and 649: Family Income and Expenditure, vol. II, Washington, 1939. 2It is almost impossible to differentiate between the items of home maintenance which theoretically should be charged against clothing, food or personal care and those which have to do with providing shelter and living accommodations. So in the present report no distinction is made according to portion of the expenditure which is personal and which is for the home. 3 U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bull. 648, vol. IV. 4Included in the expense for fuel, light, and refrigeration is the money value of these items when they were received without direct expense to the family. Families reported free fuel infrequently in most of the cities. In Atlanta however, there was a report at every income level. Free fuel was received by one or more fami lies interviewed for expenditures in every income class up to $3,000 in Omaha and up to $5,000 in Denver. In no instance did the value of free fuel amount to more than 1 percent of total housing value for native white families, except for the $250 to $500 level in the East Central small cities, where it was 3 percent. In Atlanta, free fuel amounted to 10 percent of the total value of housing of Negro families receiving incomes under $250 and to 2 percent at the income level of $250 to $500 but thereafter was only 1 percent or less. 53 54 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 large proportion of renting families occupy apartments rather than single-family dwellings. For this reason, the expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration made by New York families form a consist ently low proportion of their total value of housing (between 6 percent and 20 percent). The same situation is found in Chicago, only to a slightly less marked degree. 20.—Expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration 1 which are made separately from rent as a proportion of total expenditure for housing, by income class T able A.

But also of importance in. determining the proportion of housing expenditures which will be allocated to fuel, light, and refrigeration are climatic conditions. Expense for these items constitutes a larger proportion of the total value of housing in Providence than in the other large cities even though home ownership is less frequent there. And the relative mildness of the climate in Portland results in a lower pro portion of housing value going to fuel, light, and refrigeration, despite the prevalence of home ownership in this Pacific Northwest city. EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSEHOLD OPERATION 55 Comparing cities of different size in the East Central region, we find that fuel, light, and refrigeration claims about the same propor tion of total housing expenditure in Columbus that it does in the middle-sized cities. Although renting families are more numerous proportionately in Columbus than in the middle-sized cities, the most prevalent type of rented dwelling is the one- or two-family house (see table O of the supplement to the Tabular Summary); the rent pay ment for such dwellings does not usually cover heat and light. The proportion of total housing expenditures which families living in the small East Central cities allotted to fuel, light, and refrigeration was definitely larger than the proportion in Columbus and in the middlesized cities. Although expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration increase with rise in income level, they do not keep pace with total housing expenditures and consequently form a decreasing proportion of the total money value of housing in each city. In New York, where one-family dwellings were relatively less num erous in the Negro group than in the native white group, the propor tion of total housing expenditures allocated to fuel, light, and refriger ation was lower for Negro families than for white. In Columbus and Atlanta, the expense for these utilities represented a larger portion of the money value of housing of Negro families at given income levels than for families of the white race, as relatively few of them lived in multiple-family dwellings. Of the Negro families in the three cites, those in New York spent the lowest proportion of total housing expenses on fuel, light, and refrigeration. Expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration form a consistently high proportion of the total housing expenditures of wage earners, as compared with families in the other occupational groups in Chicago. This difference may be observed even at income levels where home owners are relatively less frequent in the wage-earner classification than in the other groups. (See table P of the supplement to the Tabular Summary.) A special analysis of the types of dwelling occu pied by Chicago renting families in the various occupational groups reveals that the proportion of wage-earner families which reside in apartments and particularly in apartment buildings which house five or more families is lower than the proportion found in the other occu pational groups. Thus, even when wage-earner families rent their living quarters, they usually live in the types of dwellings where it is necessary to incur expenses for fuel, light, and refrigeration. Average expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration.—Families living in New York City have smaller expenditures for fuel, light, and refrig eration, on the average, than do families in Chicago or in the six large cities surveyed throughout the country. (See pt. II, table 7.) These averages, however, are based on all families rather than on only those 153119°— 41------5 56 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 families purchasing the specified item and therefore reflect the incidence of home ownership. The average outlays made by all New York families for fuel, light, and refrigeration are low because a majority of the families in this metropolis pay rents which cover the cost of heated dwellings. Since fuel is the most expensive of the items in this category, the frequency with which heat is covered by rent payments serves as a rough index of city differences in expenditures for total fuel, light, and refrigeration. Chicago families also had relatively low expenditures for these items of home maintenance. This is particularly true of families receiving incomes of more than $1,250, a large proportion of whom were renting heated apartments. Providence families spent the largest amounts, on the average, for fuel, light, and refrigeration. In chapter IV we saw that only a small proportion of tenant families in this city paid rents which covered the expense for heat. Moreover, the relative severity of the climate in this city, as compared with Portland, Oreg., and Atlanta, makes fuel a more important item in the family budget. Columbus, which re sembles Providence with respect to the infrequency of the inclusion of heat in the rent charge, nevertheless had lower average expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration. But data to be presented below will indicate that the cost of heating a dwelling is lower in Columbus than in Providence. Climatic conditions account, in part, for the high average expendi tures in Omaha-Council Bluffs for the items in this category. But also of importance is the prevalence of home ownership and the infre quency with which heat was included in rent. Although Portland had the highest proportion of families living in one-family dwellings, the average expenditures of all Portland families for fuel, light, and refrigeration tended to be rather low. The low cost is related to the mildness of climate on the Pacific coast and to a difference in the type of fuel used for heat in this section of the country. Similarly, climatic conditions are partly responsible for the relatively low average expenditures for these items in Atlanta. In addition, the inclusion of heat with rented quarters tends to be more common in Atlanta than in the other cities of comparable size. Within the East Central region, the average expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration which were made by families in the middlesized and small cities were definitely higher than in Chicago but did not differ consistently from the expenditures of Columbus families. At the higher income levels where home ownership is most common, particularly in the smaller cities, families in Columbus spent the least for these items. At the bottom of the income scale, the expenditures of Columbus families exceeded those of families in the smaller cities, EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSEHOLD OPERATION 57 partly because heat was included less frequently in the rent payment of Columbus tenants. W ith almost all New York Negro families renting heated dwellings it is not surprising that expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration average lower for Negro families than for white families at comparable income levels. In Columbus, where the incidence if home ownership is greater for the Negroes than for the white families and where heat is included less frequently in the rented dwellings of the Negro families, the Negroes had higher average expenditures for these home-mainte nance items than did the white families. This same racial difference was found in Atlanta among families receiving incomes of $1,500 or more. W ithin the Negro group, the lowest expenditures were made by families in New York because of the large proportion of apartmentdwellers, and the highest, in Columbus. The difference between Columbus and Atlanta, where the proportions of home owners are roughly the same, may be accounted for on the basis of climate. Expenditures for coal.— The average expenditures to be discussed in succeeding sections of this chapter are based on the number of families reporting purchases of the commodities under consideration and therefore do not reflect the frequency of home ownership nor the inclusion of certain items in rent. The proportions of families which purchased coal varied widely from region to region. (See pt. II, table 7.) The use of this fuel was most general in the East Central region, and least common in the Pacific Northwest where lumber is plentiful. The proportion of metropolitan families purchasing coal tended to be low because of the frequency with which such families rented heated dwellings. In Providence fewer than half of the families bought coal during the year; many of these New England homes are equipped for the use of fuel oil. Of the families which purchased coal, those living in Providence had the highest average expenditures and those in Portland and Atlanta, the lowest. (See table 21.) It is to be expected that the cost of heating the dwelling quarters would be relatively low in the South east and on the Pacific Coast where the climate is comparatively mild, but the high expenditures of Providence families in comparison with families in such cities as Columbus, New York, and Chicago, requires further explanation. In Columbus, situated as it is in the heart of the coal-producing area of the United States, the expense per unit of coal is lower than in the other regions. New York and Chicago families probably purchase less coal than do families in Providence since the average number of rooms per dwelling unit among the families sur veyed is lower in the metropolises than in Providence. (See pt. II, table 3.) In addition, coal prices are somewhat lower in New York 58 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 and Chicago than in Providence. Expenditures for coal are larger in all cities at the higher income levels among families purchasing coal, an increase which is probably accounted for, at least in part, by the increased size of dwelling quarters at the higher income levels.

In comparison with Columbus, families living in the middle-sized and small cities of the East Central region reported high expenditures for coal. Families in the small cities have more rooms to heat than do Columbus families; however, this explanation is not tenable with re spect to the middle-sized cities. But in both the middle-sized and small cities, a lower proportion of the families reported the use of gas or electricity as kitchen fuel than was true among Columbus families. Part of the additional cost of coal in these smaller East Central com munities is undoubtedly attributable to the use of this type of fuel for cooking purposes. In New York City, Negro families receiving annual incomes between $1,000 and $2,500 spent more for coal, per family purchasing, than did white families. There is a tendency for the dwellings of Negro fam- EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSEHOLD OPERATION 59 ilies having incomes within this range to be larger than those of white families. Moreover, a larger proportion of the Negro families used some fuel for cooking other than gas or electricity. These conditions are also present in Columbus and Atlanta to account for the higher coal expenditures of Negro families, as compared with the white group. The dwelling quarters of Atlanta Negro families with incomes of $3,000 to $4,000, however, are no larger than those of white families and the use of gas or electricity for cooking is universal in both groups; at this income level the cost of coal purchased by Negro families drops below the expenditures of white families. E x p en d itu res jo r coke an d briquets. — The use of coke and briquets as a heating fuel is infrequent in these metropolitan and large cities except for Providence, Omaha, Council-Bluffs, and Portland. Of the families which purchased this fuel, those living in New York, Chicago, and Providence tended to have the highest expenditures. The amounts spent for coke and briquets tended to average lower, how ever, than the expenditures for coal. It is probable that some of the families purchasing this type of fuel used it to supplement coal or wood. (See pt. II, table 7, for statistics on such purchases.) E xpen ditu res fo r w ood a n d k in d lin g . —Except in Portland, wood was used primarily as a supplement to coal, coke and briquets, or gas. One-tenth or fewer of the Portland families, however, reported the purchase of coal while as many as eight- or nine-tenths bought wood and kindling. (See pt. II, table 7.) The proportion of families in this Oregon city purchasing wood and kindling tended to decrease as the upper income levels were reached. Whereas well over threefourths of the Portland families with incomes below $3,500 bought wood and kindling, only slightly more than one-fourth in the top in come bracket ($7,500 and over) purchased this type of fuel. The loca tion of Portland in the center of a lumber-producing region makes wood cheaper per unit than in the other cities under consideration. During the year of the survey, expenditures of families buying wood and kindling amounted to between $30 and $40 at most income levels. In the other cities, the average amount spent for this item seldom exceeded $5 for the year. Wood and kindling were purchased by the majority of Negro famlies in Atlanta. Their expenditures for this type of fuel averaged between $10 and $15 during the year in most of the lower and middle income levels. E xpen d itu res fo r fu e l o il. — The use of fuel oil for heating purposes was most common in Providence, Omaha-Council Bluffs, and Port land but in these cities only families at the higher income levels used fuel oil to any extent. Of families in these three cities, Portland fam ilies reported the lowest expenditures for this item. (See pt. II, table 7.) Among families purchasing fuel oil, the amount spent gen- 60 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 erally increased with rise in income level in each city—due undoubt edly to the greater number of rooms to be heated at the upper than at the lower income levels.5 Expenditures jor kerosene and gasoline.—Kerosene and gasoline were used quite frequently by Providence families for cooking purposes. This tendency was most marked among families with incomes of less than $2,000. At the lower income levels, white families in Atlanta and in the small East Central cities and Negro families in Atlanta reported the use of this type of fuel with considerable frequency. But the expenditures of these families for kerosene and gasoline were low compared with those of Providence families. It is probable that the function of these fuels is primarily to supplement other fuels except in the New England cities. (See pt. II, table 7.) Expenditures for electricity.—A family’s consumption of electricity is determined only in part by the number of rooms which must be lighted. The additional uses of electricity, such as for cooking, me chanical refrigeration, and the operation of various articles of house hold equipment combine to make the expenditures for electricity about three to four times as high among families having incomes of $5,000 to $7,500 as among families receiving $500 to $750. The average expenditures for electricity which are shown in table 22 do not necessarily reflect intercity differences in the rates charged for electricity. When rates are low, families may find more uses for this utility so that their consumption is high and when electricity is relatively expensive, substitutes may be found. Families in Portland and Atlanta reported the highest expenditures for electricity. In Portland, electricity was a comparatively cheap fuel and was consequently used for more purposes. The use of elec tricity as a cooking fuel was relatively common in Portland 6 since the cost of coal and gas is high in the Pacific Northwest city. Moreover the number of rooms for which electricity must be provided tended to be high in Portland. In view of the small number of rooms to be lighted, the relatively low expenditures for electricity in New York and Chicago are under standable even though the average rate for electricity was higher in New York than in most of the large cities studied. In the East Cen tral region, too, the expenditure for electricity among the small-city families undoubtedly reflects, at least in part, their larger dwelling quarters. 6 Averages per family purchasing can be derived from pt. II, table 7. 6 According to the Real Property Inventory of 1934 (Department of Commerce), 20 percent of the dwelling units in Portland were equipped for the use of electricity as a cooking fuel. 61 EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSEHOLD OPERATION T able 2 2 ,—Average expenditure for electricity for families purchasing, hy income class A.

Expenditures for gas.— Gas rates vary considerably from city to city, depending primarily upon whether natural gas or manufactured gas is used. In cities where gas is expensive some of the families will nat urally substitute other types of fuel whenever possible. Thus we find that electricity is a relatively common cooking fuel in Portland. How ever, during the colder months of the year, coal or wood may be used as the cooking and water-heating fuel. The lower gas expenditures of families in the small and middle-sized East Central cities, as compared with Columbus, are related to the more widespread use of fuels other than gas for cooking. In a Southeastern city such as Atlanta, there are fewer months during which this type of substitution may be made comfortably; thus the Atlanta families which used any gas during the year reported rather high expenditures. In Denver the availability of natural gas at favorable rates en courages its use for room heating as well as for cooking. The expen ditures of Denver families for this utility are consequently high. 62 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6 T able 23.—Average expenditure for gas for families purchasing, by income class A.

Expenditures for ice.— W ith increasing income which makes possible the possession of a mechanical refrigerator, the proportion of families purchasing ice drops rapidly. Of the families using ice, those in Portland and Denver spent the least. Their smaller expenditures are readily understood since the relatively low summer temperature in these two cities makes refrig eration less essential than in the other cities studied. Atlanta, with the longest period of warm weather, ranked highest in expense for ice; New York was second. 63 EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSEHOLD OPERATION T able 24.—Average expenditure for ice for families purchasing, hy income class A.

Expenditures for the miscellaneous items of general household operation, shown in table 8 of the Tabular Summary, become greater as income rises but do not increase at the same rate as income. At the $500-$750 income level the expense ranged from $17 in Columbus to $36 in New York City while at the $5,000 level with income ten times as high the corresponding figures were only 6 to 8 times greater ($143 and $205 respectively). Families in Columbus consistently expended less for general household operation than did families in the other cities at comparable income levels due primarily to the fact that expenditures for laundry sent out in Columbus were considerably below such expenditures 64 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6 in the other communities.7 In Atlanta, where the laundry expense runs high, the cost of general household operation is also large relative to that of the other cities. Negro families consistently had lower home-operation costs than did white families at comparable income levels— both in the Northern and in the Southern cities surveyed. G eneral household operation as a percentage o f total hou sin g expense .— Although the cost of these miscellaneous goods and services which are needed for running a home have not been included in the total housing expense discussed in chapter I, it is interesting to note that had such expenses been included the averages would have been about $100 higher on the average. These items of household oper ation represented roughly between 10 and 20 percent of the total money value of housing. Although some irregularities in the pattern are found in the various cities, the ratio of expenses for household operation to total housing tends to increase with income.

II. 17.6 19.1 18.2 21.8 27.8 24.7 23.4 EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSEHOLD OPERATION 65 Expenditures jor laundry sent out.— The largest expense of general household operation is that for laundry. This item comprises, on the average, as much as two-fifths of the general household operation expense in Atlanta. In the other cities the percentage is somewhat lower, but is nevertheless significant. Housing expenditures for laun dry sent to a commercial laundry or laundress become consistently larger with increases in family income in the cities studied.8 At the $500-$750 income level expenditures for laundry not done in the home amounted to an average of as little as $0.70 for the year (in Columbus) if averaged over all families in the income bracket, and no more than $8.10 (in New York City). At the $5,000 level, the cost of laundry sent out was $41 and $91 respectively in these two cities. At most income levels, families in New York City had higher expenditures for laundry sent out than did the residents of the other cities. This is to be explained largely by the lack of space for laun dering and drying in the multiple-family dwellings of New York City. In Chicago and Providence also, multiple-family dwellings with their limited space per family are relatively frequent so the laundry is sent out. In cities with many one-family dwellings, average expenditures for laundry sent out are relatively low. In Atlanta, where more families have household help than is the case in northern cities, one would expect laundering to be done in the home. Such is not the case, however, as the expenditures for laundry sent out in this city almost equal or exceed those found in the metrop olises and Providence at practically every income level. The explana tion probably lies in the prevalence of Negro laundresses in the South who do the laundering in their own homes rather than in the homes of their employers. Due to climatic differences— clothes worn in the South are more frequently made of material which can be laundered instead of dry cleaned, so the laundry expense as a whole—including laundry supplies as well as cost of laundry sent out— tends to be higher in Atlanta than in the Northern cities. In the middle-sized and small cities of the East Central region expenditures for laundry sent out exceed those of families in the larger city of Columbus, in the income brackets below $2,250. The laundry expenses are not, however, so large in the smaller cities as in Chicago for this item. Thus there cannot be said to be a significant difference by city size in the average expenditures for laundry at specified income levels. Expenditures for laundry supplies .— The expense for laundry supplies such as laundry soap, cleaning powders, flakes, ammonia, starch, blu ing, etc., amounted, on the average, to slightly more than $10 during the year per family in most of the large cities surveyed. In Atlanta 8 Expense for laundry sent out included cost of linens and other laundry for the home as well as personal items of clothes. D ry cleaning is not included in this category. 66 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6 and Portland the expenditures for these items fell below $10 at most income levels. In all cities, the average disbursements for these sup plies tended to increase with rise in income level, but the increase in such expenditures was not proportional to the income rise. With a tenfold increase in family income, $500-$750 to $5,000-$7,500, the increase in expenditures for cleaning supplies was not even doubled. In Atlanta, the fact that laundry is frequently sent out seems to be associated with a smaller expenditure for laundry supplies. This Southern city ranks next to the lowest in the average expense for laundry supplies purchased by families at each income level while expense for laundry sent out in this city exceeded that of families in all cities except New York. Portland families not only had low expenditures for laundry sent out, but they spent less for laundry supplies, on the average, than in other cities. It is quite possible that Portland does not have so much soot and dirt in the air as do the industrial cities of the East, since there is relatively little coal on the west coast and the preva lence of water power is conducive to the use of electricity for manu facturing. While Negro families at each income bracket tend to spend less for laundry sent out and laundry supplies than do white families in Atlanta, Columbus, and New York City, this relationship does not hold if families of the same composition are compared. In New York City and Columbus for example, Negro families with husband and wife only (type I) at some income levels have higher expenditures for laundry and laundry supplies than do the white group. (See table Q of the supplement to the Tabular Summary.) In Atlanta, however, the expenditures for laundry of the white families consisting of a husband and wife only, were somewhat higher than for Negroes of comparable income and family composition. It is possible that Negroes purchased cheaper supplies or that they obtained some laundry supplies from their employers. Expenditure jor telephone service.—Next to laundry expense, tele phone service is the most important expenditure of general household operation. The figures shown in part II, table 8, do not include estimates of the charge for telephone service included in the rent bill, but they do include coin box calls by all members of the family and long distance calls as well as the monthly service charges not billed as part of rent. Families in the more expensive apartments are most likely to have telephone included in the rent charge so the expendi tures for telephone presented in part II, table 8, are lower at the middle and upper income levels than would be the case had all tele phone service charges been shown. However, despite this under evaluation of telephone expenses, the amount spent for telephone service increases consistently with rise in income level in all cities. EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSEHOLD OPERATION 67 At the $500-$750 income bracket an average of $11 or less per family was spent for telephone in the metropolises and large cities. At the $2,000-$2,250 level, the averages ranged between $16 and $29 for the different cities, while at the $5,000-$7,500 income class telephone expenditures averaged between $41 and $71 for the year. Intercity differences must be viewed in relation to the relative prevalence of multi-family dwellings in which telephone service is included in and inseparable from the rent bill. Since such data are lacking the inter city differences cannot be adequately interpreted. A definite occupational difference exists in the average expenditure for telephone service. (See table R of the supplement to the Tabular Summary.) In Chicago, for example, wage earners spent less than did the other occupational groups at almost every income level. On the other hand, families of professional persons maintaining private practices had the largest expenditure for telephone at every income level except one. Families in this occupational group frequently have their offices in their own homes, and thus maintenance of a telephone is essential to their professional work. Expenditure jor water.—The cost of water used for household and lawn maintenance is borne almost entirely by the landlord in some communities while in others the tenant pays for the water consumed. Thus the intercity differences in the average amount spent for water may be due to the relative frequency of owner-occupied dwellings, dif ferences in policy with respect to charging tenants for water, variations in water rates or to different amounts of water used.9 In all the large cities except Atlanta, Omaha, and Portland, among tenant families the dwelling rent charge tends to include the cost of water consumed, particularly at the lower and middle income levels. Thus the average expense for water rent shown in part II, table 8, is primarily that of home owners although the base used in computing the average includes tenants as well as owners. The average expense in New York City, Chicago, and Providence amounted to less than $6 for the year—in all income brackets up to $5,000, and generally only a dollar or two was spent for water rent as such. In the cities of Atlanta, Omaha, and Portland, the average increased from several dollars at the low income level to $20 or $30 at the highest income brackets. Although Denver renting families tended to have the water cost included in the dwelling rent, home ownership was suffi ciently prevalent to bring up the average water expense to equal or exceed that of families in the other cities. At the top income bracket of $7,500 and over, in this city, an average of $36 was spent for water during the year. Percentage of families employing paid household help.—At every income level higher proportions of white families in the Southeast 9 See ch. IV, for water rent included in the rent charge. 68 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6 than in any of the other regions surveyed had hired help.10 Even at the lowest income level studied—$500-$750—8 percent of the fam ilies in Atlanta had paid help. The percentage rises rapidly until at the $l,750-$2,000 level approximately half the families in this large Southern city hired some household assistance; and in the classes of $5,000 and over, practically every family employed household help. In the middle-sized cities studied in the Southeast the percentage hav ing paid help was even greater than in Atlanta at comparable income groups. Among families having incomes of $3,000 or over during the year over 90 percent in Columbia and Mobile, the two middle-sized cities in this region, reported having paid servants in the home. Pronounced fluctuations were found in the percentage of families employing help—particularly in the lower and middle income ranges. In the income brackets of $5,000 and up, families with paid house hold help comprised well over three-fourths of the total families at the upper levels.

A rough indication of the relative importance of the two types of employment may be obtained from the average number of weeks during which families had part-time and full-time help.11 (See pt. II, table 8.) Jo All persons employed by the family except nurses for the sick, seamstresses, and laundresses who did not do the laundry work on the family’s premises were included as household help regardless of whether such help lived in the family dwelling. 11 The classification of paid help into the full-time and part-time categories was made primarily on the basis of the family’s understanding of these terms, rather than by an attempt to differentiate in terms of hours of work per day or week. EXPENDITURES FOR HOUSEHOLD OPERATION 69 It may be noted that whereas the help employed by families at the lower income brackets in the various cities tends to be part-time help, the reverse is true at the upper levels. It is interesting to note that the nonrelief Negro families studied also employed paid help with relative frequency. Although Negro families in Atlanta had paid household help to a lesser extent than did white families in this city in comparable income classes, the percentage of Negroes employing household assistance in Atlanta did not differ sig nificantly from that found for white families in some of the northern cities. Furthermore, the average expenditure of Negro families in Atlanta having paid help tended to equal or exceed that of white families in comparable income levels in the West Central and Pacific Coast large cities surveyed.12 Average expense for household help per family employing paid house hold help.—Total expenditures for household help—nonmoney as well as money—cannot be ascertained, since no evaluation was placed upon the food or rooms furnished to the help.13 Among families employing household assistance the average expend itures for paid help during the year tended to increase with rise in income level. (See table 27.) But at each income level there was considerable variability in the averages of the different cities. Gener ally speaking, the average amounts spent per family for paid household help in Atlanta were high, while those of Omaha families were low, in comparison to the other cities. It cannot be concluded, however, that wages per hour or week were greater in one community than another, since in addition to including tips, etc., these averages do not take into account differences in the number of paid servants as well as in the hours or period employed. In the income classes of $4,000 and above, New York City families had higher expenditures for paid help than did those in Atlanta. This may have been due to the fact that relatively more of these upper income New York City families lived in apartments where the money outlays for wages, tips, and gifts to help was greater because the help did not receive meals or room with the family. No city-size differences were found to be consistently true either for the percentage of families employing paid household help or in the average expenditures per family having paid help. 12 The data on household help for Negro families in New York City and Columbus fluctuate greatly, due to the relatively small number of families at each income level, so no generalizations on the basis of such figures seem advisable. is The expenditures do include, however, money expense for aprons, or uniforms for paid help, tips and presents to doormen, elevator operators, janitors, delivery boys, etc., as well as to help paid by the family. 70 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 T able 27. —Average money expenditure for paid household help by families employing such help, by income class A.

The reader should bear in mind, however, that the most undesirable housing conditions in the various cities surveyed are not depicted by the figures of the Study of Consumer Purchases since data on the housing of the lowest economic groups—those receiving public assistance in all cities and those in the larger cities whose incomes were below $500 for the year—were not obtained in this study of expenditures. Average number oj rooms}—The dwelling quarters of the families surveyed in Columbus contained more rooms than did those of famlies in the other large cities and metropolises. Since family types VI and VII, which represent large families of no less than five persons and usually more, were studied in the East Central region only, the average number of rooms would be expected to be larger there than in the other regions. Later analysis of the number of persons per room by family type will show, however, that the additional size of dwelling in this region is not sufficiently great to prevent overcrowd ing among the largest families. Although these larger families were included in the Chicago sample also, we should expect the average number of rooms to be lower than in large cities because of the high proportion of apartment dwellers in the metropolis. As a matter of fact, the average number of rooms was lower in Chicago than in the six large cities studied. (See part II, table 3.) In comparison with New York, however, where apartments are even more prevalent as a type of dwelling, Chicago families had more rooms. Of the large cities other than Columbus, Providence stood out as having the highest average number of rooms per dwelling, particularly at the top income levels. Dwellings in Atlanta and Denver tended to be relatively small. The increase in size of dwelling with rises in the income level was such that large city families receiving incomes of $7,500 or more had homes which contained about twice as many i The number of rooms in the dwelling quarters does not include bathrooms, hallways, porches (unless enclosed and used for living purposes), alcoves, or rooms used only for business purposes. 1 5 3 1 1 9 ° — 4 1 -------- 6 71 72 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6 rooms as the homes of families with $500 to $750 incomes. This increase in size of home reflects the larger families found at the upper income levels among these nonrelief families as well as the expansion which is permitted by higher incomes. Within the East Central region, families living in the smallest cities had the highest number of rooms as compared with families at the same income levels in larger cities. Dwellings in the middlesized cities averaged slightly smaller than in Columbus. The average size of dwellings of Negro families tended to exceed the size of quarters (measured by number of rooms) occupied by white families at comparable income levels. In Atlanta this tendency was not apparent at the lowest income levels. Since the above differences may be due in part to differences in family size among the various income and racial groups, the follow ing analysis will deal with the number of persons per room. Average number of persons per room.2—In the large cities and the two metropolises surveyed, families at all income levels except the $500 to $750 class in Atlanta averaged less than one person per room among nonrelief native white complete families.3 Homes of families residing in the metropolises tend to have more persons per room, on the average, than do those of families in the other communities. (See pt. II, table 3.) Comparing New York City and Chicago families with those of the six large cities, the aver age number of persons per room in the metropolises is consistently 2 The averages include all persons sleeping in the family living quarters at the end of the schedule year. Thus guests, roomers, household help living with the families as well as members of the economic family are included. 3 Data on crowding are available from the figures published by the National Health Survey, 1935-36, Pre liminary Report, Sickness and Medical Care Series, Bull. No. 5. Five cities which were surveyed by the National Health Survey are also covered by the present report from the Study of Consumer Purchases. The percentage of households with two or more persons per room, among white families, is shown in the table below: Percentage of households with two or more persons per room i Income class All white families________________ Relief________________________ Nonrelief- - -. ______ _____ Under $1,000_. ___________ $1,000-$2,000______________ $2,000-$3,000______________ $3,000 and over___ ______ Chicago, Columbus, Atlanta, Ohio 111.

NUMBER OF ROOMS AND FACILITIES 73 greater at every income level above $1,500.4 Below $1,500, families in Atlanta live in more congested quarters.5 Least crowding among families with incomes below the average seems to exist in Portland and Columbus. In the income groups above $2,000 in these six cities, however, Providence families seem to be most favorably housed, accord ing to this standard. The differences are not large, however, so the generalizations are not to be taken as conclusive. What intercity differences appear to exist may be associated with differences in the percentage of home owners. It is quite possible that home owners have more rooms than do renters, but data on this point were not tabulated in the present study.6 In the city groups for which data are available, a tendency for the average number of persons per room to decline with rises in income level may be noted. But the decrease is marked in only a few cities. Since paid household help and guests become more numerous as income rises the net effect is to offset the advantage gained by more rooms per dwelling. The greatest decrease in average number of persons per room with increase in income level may be noted among Atlanta white families. In the income bracket of $500-$750, an average of 1.10 persons per room was found, while at the highest income bracket of $7,500 and over Atlanta families had, on the average, somewhat more than two rooms per person. As compared with white families at comparable income levels in New York City, Columbus, and Atlanta, the number of persons per room among Negroes either is about the same or less than that among white groups. To be sure, the Negro families actually are more crowded, but this is attributable to their greater frequency in the lower-income levels where crowding is more prevalent.7 Occupational differences in number of persons per room.—Since wage earners tend to have more family members than the other occupational groups with comparable incomes, it is not surprising to find that the number of persons per room for this occupational group tends to be somewhat greater than for the white collar groups. In the large cities shown in part II, table 3, the occupational difference is quite consistent between wage earners and the other groups, but in the two metropolises no uniform pattern is apparent. At all events the differ ences are small. The white-collar occupational groups more fre* Since family types VI and VII, which represent large families of no less than five persons and usually more, were studied in the East Central region only, the average number of persons shown for Chicago and Columbus is slightly higher than it would have been if only five family types had been included; because of the relative infrequency of these large families, however, the averages are not greatly affected. * Unfortunately no data are available on the size of rooms, so congestion as such cannot be measured by the data of this study. « See ch. II, p. 19, for data from another study on number of rooms among owners and renters by income class. i The National Health Survey for Atlanta, for example, showed the same percentage of colored relief families lived in quarters with more than one person per room as was true for white relief families, 56 percent in each case. 74 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6 quently have nonfamily members such as guests and paid help in their households. Average number of persons per room by family type.—As would be expected, among families of comparable incomes, the more persons in the family, the greater the crowding. While the number of persons living in the home at the end of the schedule year may differ from the number in the economic family during the year as a whole, the two sets of figures are sufficiently similar to reveal family type differences in number of persons per room. In each of the East Central communi ties, families of type VII, consisting of 7 or 8 persons, were most crowded in terms of persons per room. (See pt. II, table 3.) Fam ily types V and VI, consisting of 5 or 6 persons, shared the second and third most crowded quarters, while type I with only two persons in the economic family was least crowded in each community and at each income level. For example, this last mentioned type averaged 0.38 to 0.45 persons per room at the $1,500-$1,750 income level; types V and VI averaged between 0.85 and 1.02 persons per room; while type VII had 1.16 to 1.31 persons sharing each room at this income level in the East Central cities. Housing facilities.—The percentage of dwellings equipped with the three facilities of electric lights, running hot and cold water, and flush toilets inside the dwelling may be used as an index of the modern ization of homes occupied by families at different income levels and in different occupational groups. As may be seen from the figures of table 28, and from the graphic presentation in figure 6, wide intercity and inter-regional differences exist in the percentage of homes with the combined facilities mentioned above. Whereas 91 percent of the homes of families in Portland in the income bracket $500-$750 had such facilities, only 6 percent in Providence were so equipped. At the income levels above the lowest, however, Columbus and New York led in the proportion of homes equipped with these modern facilities. Within the East Central region, the proportion of houses with elec tric lights, running hot and cold water, and inside flush toilets was highest at each income level in the large city, Columbus, and lowest in the small cities. In all the city groups covered, the percentage of homes with these facilities tended to increase with rises in income level. At the top income brackets practically every home was equipped with electric lights, running hot and cold water, and inside flush toilet. 75 NUMBER OF ROOMS AND FACILITIES T able 28. —Percentage of families having living quarters equipped with running hot and cold water, inside flush toilet, and electric lights, by income class A.

In New York, Negro families—the bulk of which occupy apart ment houses—had homes equipped with the specified facilities even more frequently, proportionately, than did white families. In Colum bus and Atlanta, however, relatively fewer homes occupied by Negro than by white families were equipped with the combined modern facilities of electric lights, running hot water, and inside flush toilets. The difference is particularly striking in the South. Part of the dif ference may be explained on the basis of lower rents of Negroes at comparable income levels. However, even if Negro families with equal or higher average rents are compared with white families in Atlanta, the percentage occupying homes with the combined modern facilities falls below that of white families. Housing facilities of occupational groups.—Correlated with the lower rents and rental value of wage earners as compared with other occupational groups is a lower percentage of dwelling quarters with the three modern facilities under discussion.

S pecific hou sing fa c ilitie s .— When the various housing facilities are considered separately rather than in combination, the regional and city size differences indicated above may be analyzed in terms of the presence or absence of specific types of equipment. E lectric lig h ts .— Of the native white families receiving incomes of $500 to $1,000, a larger proportion of those living in Atlanta than in the other large and metropolitan cities occupied quarters which were not equipped with electric lights. In general, however, electricity for lighting purposes was used by almost all of the families studied in these metropolitan and large cities. Within the East Central region, the frequency with which quarters are equipped with electric lights appears to bear some relationship to city size. All dwellings surveyed in Chicago, even those occupied by families receiving incomes between $500 and $750, were lighted by electricity; in the small cities the use of electricity was not so universal until above the income level of $2,250. Kacial differences in the occupancy of quarters with electric lights were apparent in Columbus and Atlanta but not in New York, where the majority of Negroes are apartment dwellers. Fewer than half of the Atlanta negroes with incomes of less than $750 lived in quarters equipped with electric lights. In both Columbus and Atlanta, the income required before all Negro families became users of electric lights was considerably higher than the corresponding income for white families. R u n n in g hot a n d cold w a ter .— The inclusion of the facility of run ning hot water as one of the indices of a modern dwelling accounts for the poor showing of Providence in the earlier analysis. Only 5 percent of the families with incomes of $500 to $750 lived in quarters with running hot water. Although the proportion of dwellings equipped with running hot water tended to increase with rise in in come level, some Providence families with annual incomes of over $3,500 lacked this facility. The proportion of Atlanta families, particularly those at the lower income levels, which did not have run ning hot water was relatively high except when compared with Provi dence, but in both of these cities, almost all families reported the inclusion of running cold water in their dwellings. More than 95 percent of Portland’s families, even at the lowest income levels, occupied living quarters which were equipped with running hot water. Of the East Central cities in four different size groups, the large city, Columbus, had the highest proportion of dwelling quarters with running hot water. Chicago ranked second, the proportions in NUMBER OF ROOMS AND FACILITIES 79 the metropolis being only slightly higher than in the middle-sized cities. Homes in the small cities were least apt to be equipped with running hot water. A larger proportion of Negro families in New York City, as com pared with the white, occupied quarters with running hot water. Among families with annual incomes of $500 to $750, for instance, 94 percent of the Negro group but only 81 percent of the white lived in dwellings equipped with this facility. The explanation of this racial difference is undoubtedly related to the greater frequency with which Negro families reside in large multiple-family dwellings. At this same income level of $500 to $750, 75 percent of the renting families in the Negro group and 58 percent in the white, group lived in buildings housing five or more families. (See table O of the supple ment to the Tabular Summary.) 8 In Columbus and Atlanta, on the other hand, the inclusion of running hot water in the living quarters was less common among Negro families than among white. In sid e flu sh to ilet .— The dwelling quarters of almost all of the native white families included in this study were equipped with flush toilets inside the dwelling. Of the large cities, Denver and Omaha were the most notable exceptions to this generalization. In Columbus, too, a few families with incomes as large as $3,000 did not have flush toilets in their living quarters. This facility was lacking in a higher proportion of the homes in the middle-sized and smaller cities than in the large city of the East Central region. The dwellings of Negro families in New York were as well equipped as those of white families in this respect also. But the frequency with which living quarters included a flush toilet was slightly less for the Negro than for the white families in Columbus, and in Atlanta, the difference was marked. Gas or electricity as kitchen f u e l .— A relatively large proportion of the families living in Atlanta, Providence, and Portland used cooking fuel other than gas or electricity. The use of a substitute for gas or electricity was much more common at the lowest income levels than at succeeding levels. In Portland wood was frequently used for cooking by the low income families; in Providence, the popular fuel was kerosene or gasoline while lower income families in At lanta generally used both wood and kerosene rather than gas or electricity. In the East Central region, gas or electricity was used for cook ing less frequently in the middle-sized cities, and particularly in the small cities, than in Columbus. The use of coal ranges and of stoves operated by kerosene and gasoline is more prevalent among families living in smaller communities. s Data on the type of dwelling are based on the random sample. 80 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 Cooking fuel other than gas or electricity was used relatively more by Negro families than by white families. This difference was par ticularly marked in the Southeastern city, Atlanta. Fewer than onetenth of the Atlanta Negro families which received incomes between $250 and $1,250 lived in quarters equipped with gas or electricity as a kitchen fuel. The common substitutes were kerosene or gasoline and coal, depending primarily upon the season of the year. Furnaces.— In the two metropolises and in the large cities other than in Providence and Atlanta, more than nine-tenths of the fam ilies with incomes of $2,000 or more occupied quarters which were heated by furnaces. The proportion of families with lower incomes which had. furnace equipped dwellings varied widely from city to city. This facility was most frequent in Omaha and New York and least frequent in Atlanta and Providence. The climate of Atlanta makes a furnace less essential than in Northern cities. In Providence many of the dwellings are not of recent construction and hence are not so modernly equipped as those in Omaha and Portland, for in stance. In metropolitan centers such as New York and Chicago the high proportion of families living in quarters heated by furnaces is related to the frequency of apartment buildings. Families in the East Central middle-sized cities had furnace-heated dwellings more often than did families in the small cities. In New York City the dwellings of Negro families with annual incomes greater than $1,000 were equipped with furnaces more fre quently, proportionately, than the quarters of white families. This again reflects the greater incidence of apartment dwellers among the negroes than among the white families. In Columbus and Atlanta, however, the homes of Negro families were less apt to be heated by furnaces than were the dwellings occupied by white families. This was particularly true in Atlanta. Chapter V II Summary The average expenditures of families for housing, are in general, more closely correlated with income than with any other factor. Although the amount spent for housing increased consistently with rises in the income level, housing expenditures absorbed a lower proportion of the total budget of families at the top of the income scale than at the bottom. Regional differences also exist, with housing costs in the Pacific Northwest lower than in the other six regions covered. Within each region, too, housing expenditures of families living in middle-sized and small cities tended to be lower than those of families residing in large cities or metropolises. There appears to be some relationship between occupation and hous ing costs, wage earner families having the lowest expenditures at given income levels and independent professional and business families, the highest. The influence of family type on housing costs is such that large families tend to spend less than do families composed of fewer members. Among families living in the metropolises and large cities included in this report, home ownership was most common in Portland and least prevalent in New York City. Families residing in middle-sized and small cities owned their dwellings more frequently, proportion ately, than did families in the large cities. In all city groups of all re gions it was apparent that, with rising income, families tend to become owners of the family dwelling rather than renters. At comparable income levels, the rental value of an owner-occupied dwelling is higher than the rent paid by a tenant family. The families surveyed in the Study of Consumer Purchases are not adequately representative of the lowest incomes. Furthermore, the present volume deals only with urban families. It is significant, never theless, that families with incomes as low as $750 average less than one person per room in all cities covered. The inadequacies of housing at lower income levels among nonrelief families in the cities studied appear more sharply in terms of the qual ity of the housing than in terms of congestion. Thus in every city except Portland at least one quarter of the dwellings occupied by non relief families with incomes of $500 to $750 were without one or another 81 82 FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 of the basic facilities associated with modern urban housing—running hot and cold water, flush toilets inside the dwelling, and electric lights. In fact, even in the middle-sized and large cities, 1 to 3 percent of the families with incomes as high as $3,000 lack one or another of these facilities. It is reasonable to suppose that the inadequacy of basic facilities at low incomes is associated with housing which is inadequate in other respects as well, though no effort was made to study the state of repair of the dwelling, the character of the neighborhood or the accessibility of open spaces. Since large families appear to spend less for housing than do smaller ones with the same income, it follows that congestion or the quality of housing is related to family type. On the latter point no tabula tions were made. As regards congestion, however, it appears that the family accommodates itself to living quarters; there is little evidence that living space is adapted to the changing composition of the family. Thus, husband-and-wife families even at low incomes average about two rooms per person. Families with one child under 16 tend also to live in 4-room dwellings. The families with two children under 16 with incomes of less than $750 average less than 4 rooms in some cities, while in others the average is somewhat greater than 4 rooms. How ever, the family with three or four children under 16 (type VI) aver aged more than 1 person per room at all income levels below $2,500 in Chicago and at all but one income level below $2,000 in the middlesized cities surveyed in the East Central region. In the largest fam ilies studied, those with seven or eight people, the standard of one room per person was not attained, on the average, in the East Central region by families with incomes of less than $4,000. Congestion in other words is present among large urban families of low and moderate income, and fails to appear in averages for all families at low income levels only because of the relative infrequency of families of 5 or more persons.
