PREFACE
Average annual expenditures for medical care during 1935-36, as
reported to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in the
Study of Consumer Purchases, were large enough to provide adequate
medical care only among the few families with relatively high incomes.
Estimates of the cost of adequate care for an average group of
families when paid for on an individual basis according to minimum
fees place the average expenditure needed at $75.50 per person per
year. In contrast, the data obtained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
in the Consumer Purchases Study shows that the per person expendi
tures of large-city families in the median income group average from
$13 to $25. Insofar as these expenditures included fees for clinic
visits, they did not cover the entire cost of the medical care received.
Clinic service was received by a very small proportion of the families
included in the investigation, however, and only a small proportion
had any medical care for which they paid no fee.
The unmet health needs of a large proportion of the American
population are today widely recognized. Likewise, the serious con
sequences of the uneven distribution of medical costs and the wage
loss due to illness are the subject of serious consideration. In August
1935 the President appointed the Interdepartmental Committee to
Coordinate Health and Welfare Activities, which, in turn, created a
technical committee on medical care, made up of experts from the
Federal agencies concerned. The report of this technical committee,
presented at the National Health Conference held in July 1938, em
phasized the deficiencies in the present health services, based upon
findings of its own staff, on those of the National Health Survey, and
of other responsible research agencies. Data collected in the National
Health Survey and other national studies in the health field cover the
prevalence and incidence of illness and the receipt of medical care in
relation to various factors.
The Study of Consumer Purchases includes data on family expendi
tures for various types of medical service, for medicines and other
medical supplies, and for health and accident insurance, but no
correlative information in regard to the incidence of illness.
The present volume represents one of a number of bulletins covering
expenditures for particular commodities and services. The results of
the investigation are embodied in three series of bulletins, of which
VII

PREFACE
the present constitutes a part of the third. The first series was con
cerned with an analysis of the distribution by income class, occupa
tional 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 comprised reports on expenditures for the main categories
of family living by nonrelief native-born complete families in the
same regions. The third series embodies separate reports on the con
stituent items in the more important consumption categories, assem
bling for the use of those people who are concerned with the original
work materials, the data collected in all cities covered by the study.
The present study of family expenditures for medical care permits
comparisons among different sections of the country, among com
munities of varying degrees of urbanization, and between white and
Negro families 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 for comparison among different occupational
groups and among families of varying composition.
The relation of income, family size and age composition, occupa
tional classification, size of community, geographical location, and
racial characteristics to average total expenditures for medical care,
to the distribution of such expenditures among constituent categories,
and to the proportion of families incurring such expenditures throws
light on the relative urgency of different types of medical care as well
as on the degree to which health needs are at present met among
different groups of families. Data on the variation in expenditures
for medical care among families classified in relatively homogeneous
groups, moreover, may furnish a valuable guide to those concerned
with health programs.
The study conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics was par
alleled 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
Committee and the Central Statistical Board cooperated in the
Nation-wide study. The plans for the project were developed and
the administration was coordinated by a technical committee com
posed of representatives of the following agencies: National Resources
Committee, Hildegarde Kneeland, chairman; Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, Faith M. Williams; Bureau of Home Economics, Day Monroe;
Works Progress Administration, Milton Forster; and Central Statisti
cal Board, Samuel J. Dennis.

Chapter I
Family Expenditures for Medical Care
In present-day American communities, there is a dual responsibility
for the health of the population. Government agencies provide
a basic safeguard by the operation and enforcement of sanitary
measures, by direct relief allowances for the unemployed, by the
institutionalization of the unfit, and, together with private phil
anthropic agencies, by the provision of medical services for those
receiving relief or maintaining themselves on very small earnings.
By and large, however, among self-sustaining families even at low
income levels, the responsibility for meeting the expense of treatment
and medical supplies necessitated by illness as well as of preventive
care rests with the individual families.
Variations in medical care expenditures among families with similar
income.—The irregular and unpredictable incidence of illness results
in wide variations from year to year in the expenditures of any one
family for medical care, and in wide variations in the expenditures
made during a single year, among families in the same economic
group. Hence, any generalizations arising from a study of the
average medical care expenditures 1 of the families covered by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Study of Consumer Purchases
must be tempered by an understanding of the dispersion in the
amounts spent.
There were some families in almost every income group that
made no expenditures for medical care during the year of the survey,
some that spent negligible amounts for medicine and drugs, while
others expended several hundred dollars to meet the bills of surgeon
or hospital. The prevalence of this situation throughout the country
may be inferred from the data on the distribution of families by the
i While the term expenditure is used, it must be recognized that the figures reported include the full
amounts incurred for medical care for members of the economic family during the year of the survey, whether
or not they were actually paid.

for white families in Chicago, 111.; Butte, Mont.; Pueblo, Colo.; and
Atlanta, Ga.; and for Negro families in Atlanta.2 In the white
group yi Chicago, there were some in all but one income class above
$750 that spent at least $400 during the year for medical care. This
was true of the families studied at all income levels above $1,250 in
two relatively small cities in the Rocky Mountain area. Moreover,
the expenditures of some families were far above $400.

2 Two metropolitan communities, 6 large cities averaging 300,000 inhabitants, 14 middle-sized cities of
30,000 to 75,000, and 9 small cities of from 10,000 to 20,000 were included in the expenditure analysis by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Study was limited to native white families except in New York, Columbus,
and the Southeastern cities, where a separate sample of native Negro families was taken. The expenditure
survey covers only families which had not been on relief at any time during the schedule year. For list
of communities, see pt. II, p. 280. For number of expenditure schedules analyzed for each tabulation

Incidence of illness at different income levels.—The findings of
several recent studies all point to the inverse association of illness
rates with economic status. Data collected from about 12,000 wage
earning families in 10 cities in 1935 showed that among families
classified as “poor” the disabling illness rate for a 3-month period
was 23 percent higher than the illness rate of families classified as
“comfortable.” 3
The findings of the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care, as
to severity of illness, in a special study relating to approximately
6,500 wage earners (ages 15-64), are summarized in the following

Changes with income in expenditures for medical care.—Although
the variation in expenditures for medical care shows little change
over the entire income range, the proportion of families having small
expenditures declines and the proportion spending large amounts
increases at successively higher income levels. This shift is reflected
in the rise in the average outlays from less than $50 among families
with incomes below $1,000 in almost all the cities studied, to $70 or
$80 at the $1,500 to $1,750 income level, and about $200 or more
among those receiving incomes above $5,000.6
This tendency for average medical expenditures to increase with
income, or ability to pay, which is a general characteristic of family
spending habits, is in sharp contrast to the tendency for illness to
strike more heavily the lower the average income of a group.
By and large, the increase in expenditures was proportional to the
increase in family income.7 Although the medical care outlays of
individual families varied from zero to 50 or even 100 percent of
current income, average expenditures for medical care ranged ir
regularly between 3 and 6 percent of income, among families in the
income groups between $1,000 and $5,000. Among families with
incomes below $1,000, the proportion of income absorbed by ex
penditures for medical care in some city groups averaged substantially
more than 6 percent and in some less than 3 percent. On the other
hand, among families with incomes above $5,000, medical expendi5 See Preliminary Reports, The National Health Survey, Sickness and Medical Care Series, Bull. No. 2,
Illness and Medical Care in Relation to Economic Status, National Institute of Health, U. S. Public Health
Service, Washington, 1938, p. 2.
6 See pt. II, table 3, for all data on average expenditures for total medical care and constituent categories
and on the percentage of families reporting. Averages and percentages are presented for all families at each
income level and for families of each type group by income for 20 urban groups. Average expenditures are
based on all families in a given group, whether or not they reported expenditures for a given category. Both
averages and percentages are weighted by the frequency of families eligible to supply expenditure schedules
in the constituent population groups. See pt. II, p. 286, for method of deriving averages and for weighting.
7 See supplement to Tabular Summary, table B. Family income, as defined in this report, includes
money earnings, other money income, and nonomney income received in the form of housing, food, or fuel.
It should be noted, however, that the income used as a basis of classifying families into different groups
excluded nonmoney income obtained in the form of food and fuel, which was negligible for most families
except at the lowest income levels. For data on total family income see pt. II, table 2.
FAMILY EXPENDITURES FOR MEDICAL CARE
7
tures in most groups absorbed a somewhat smaller proportion of
income.8
The steady increase at successive income levels in average expendi
tures for medical care reflects in varying degrees four factors: (1) The
increasing proportion of families that made expenditures for services
of one type or another; (2) the more frequent and extensive care ob
tained by those with successively higher incomes; (3) differences in the
fees paid by families at different income levels; and (4) the relatively
large proportion of families at the low income levels in certain cities
that received some care without money expense. Available data on
physicians* fees reported by families at different income levels and on
the change with income in the amount of expenditures for given serv
ices, per family having such services, will be presented in chapter II.
A few nonrelief families studied at almost every income level, as
noted above, reported no expenditure for any medical care during the
year of the survey. The data in table 2 indicate that some families
at almost every income level purchased drugs and medical supplies,
but no professional medical services. At least one-third of the white
families with incomes of $500 to $750 in Chicago and Atlanta, and
one-quarter of those with incomes between $750 to $1,000 made no
outlays for medical care or expenditures only for drugs and medical
supplies other than eyeglasses. This was true of more than 1 in 10
of the Chicago families with incomes up to $1,750, and more than
1 in 20 of those in succeeding income groups up to $2,500. (See fig.
1.) Among families in Butte and Pueblo, a somewhat smaller propor
tion of families had no expenditure for medical care or made outlays
only for medicine and drugs. Among Negro families in Atlanta, the
relation to income was somewhat less regular, perhaps because of the
smaller number of families studied.9
In any given year, some families have no illnesses among their
members, to be sure. Nevertheless, since expenditures for dental
care and general physical examinations were included in the total
whenever they had been made, it is surprising to find so many families
in the middle and upper portion of the income scale which had no
expenditures during an entire year for medical services of any kind.
The high proportions in the lower income groups, among which the
8 Medical expenditures formed a slightly smaller proportion of total family expenditures than of family
income among the low income groups, whose average total expenditures exceeded their average current
incomes, and a slightly larger proportion of total expenditures than of income among the high income groups,
which characteristically spent less than their incomes. For data on total expenditures or the total money
value of current family living, see pt. II, table 2.
9 It should be noted that the percentages of families reporting any expenditures for medical care shown in
pt. II, table 3, column 2, exaggerate the prevalence of spending for medical care, particularly among low
income families, in so far as expenditures for medical care imply purchase of care by physicians or of hospital
and other services. The data on the proportions of families in selected units that had expenditures for
medicines and medical supplies only, presented in the accompanying table 2, indicate the probable bi^s in
the figures in pt. II, table 3.

*Less than 1 percent.
In almost every city in the United States some free health and
medical services are provided for persons unable to pay for needed
care, but the extent of such facilities and the eligibility of persons for
free care varies widely from city to city.
The families covered by the Study of Consumer Purchases were
asked whether they received any medical care without money expense
during the year of the survey, but it seemed impracticable to ask for
an evaluation of such services. Hence, it is impossible to estimate
the extent to which the health needs of low income families were met
by means other than by their own expenditures. The proportion of
families reporting some free care varied irregularly from one income
level to the next, but in most cities was higher in the lower than in
10
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5-3 6
the middle portions of the income range. It is probable that some of
these families received no more than routine health treatments while
others received extensive care and even hospitalization. Among high
income families it is probable that the medical treatment received
without money expense represented in many cases a professional
courtesy to medical men. It is not known how frequently “free care”
was interpreted to include, for example, physical examination of
children in school.
Insofar as attention is centered on the effect of differences in income
on spending for medical care, the relative frequency of families in
different income groups is of no concern. If the data are to be
interpreted in terms of community living, however, it is of extreme
importance that the income distribution be kept in mind. The non
relief white families containing husband and wife, both native bom,
to which the study of expenditures was limited in most communities,10
constitute the most favorably situated population group. Half of
these families in the middle-sized and small cities covered in the
Urban Series of the Consumer Purchases Study had incomes below a
point that ranged from $1,355 to $1,675. In the large and metropoli
tan cities the level below which half these families were found varied
from $1,600 in Providence to slightly over $2,100 in New York. Non
relief Negro families containing husband and wife, both native born,
had considerably lower incomes.11
At most, 1 in 14 of the Chicago families studied at each income
level above $1,750 made no expenditure for medical services. The
families in the five preceding income groups, however, which very
frequently reported no such expenditure, comprise almost one-half
the Chicago families represented by the consumption data. Similarly,
the Negro families in Atlanta in the three income groups below $750
constitute over one-half the Negro families covered in the expenditure
study in that city. No expenditures for medical services were reported
by 46 percent of the Negro families covered in this city with incomes
below $250, by 30 percent of those having incomes of $250 to $500,
and 17 percent of those with incomes of $500 to $750.
10 The purpose of these qualifications was to eliminate as far as possible factors of economic stress, broken
family ties, and alien customs, which might tend to obscure the relationship to family expenditure patterns
of income, occupation, family composition, degree of urbanization, and geographical locality. Since native
white families greatly outnumber all other racial and national groups in most cities, it seemed wise to con
fine the restricted resources available for the survey to a study of the expenditures of this relatively homo
geneous group. A separate sample of Negro families was taken in the Southeastern cities covered, where
Negroes make up at least one-third of the population, and in New York and Columbus, in order that the
influence of racial characteristics might be analyzed separately.
11 See supplement to Tabular Summary, table A, for the median incomes and a percentage distribution
by income of the families represented by the data on consumer expenditures. The average incomes of
foreign born families are generally below those of native born families in the same community. Similarly,
broken families receive lower incomes, on the average, than families containing both husband and wife.
For detailed discussion of the income distribution of foreign born and incomplete families, see U. S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics Bulletins 642 through 647 and 649, Family Income and Expenditure, Washington*
1939, vol. I.
FAMILY EXPENDITURES FOR MEDICAL CARE

F actors other than incom e that affect average expenditures f o r m edical
care. —While the increase in average expenditures at succeeding in
come levels is inversely related to the frequency and severity of
illness, average expenditures of families with similar incomes might
reasonably be expected to vary with the following characteristics:
Family size and age composition, since they are related to the fre
quency and severity of illness; the occupational classification of a
family, since disease and accident rates vary widely with occupation;12
community of residence, since both service fees and health needs may
vary with city size and geographical locality; and racial character
istics, since the occupational distribution and the level of living is
different for white and Negro families with similar incomes.13 The
effect of these five factors on average total medical care expenditures
will be discussed briefly before examining the components of the family
medical care bill.
M ed ica l care expense as related to fa m ily size a n d age co m p o sitio n .—
Neither family size nor the proportion of family members under and
over 16 years of age appears to have any consistent bearing on total
family expenditures for medical care at given income levels.14 Data
analyzed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics from the Study of Con
sumer Purchases throw no light, however, on the customary expense
of medical care for the very young or the very old, among whom
illness rates reach a maximum.
1 The following nine major hazards of employment are now recognized: (1) Abnormalities of tempera
2
ture; (2) compressed air; (3) dampness; (4) defective illumination; (5) dust; (6) infections; (7) radiant
energy; (8) repeated motion, pressure, or shock; and (9) poisons. See U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Bulletin 582, Occupation Hazards and Diagnostic Signs, Washington, 1933, for detailed list of occupations
affected by such hazards.
13 See U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletins 643, 644, 647, Family Income and Expenditure, Wash
ington, 1939, vol. II.
H White families in Chicago, Columbus, and the East Central middle-sized and small cities, and Negro
families in Atlanta were classified into seven family types, shown pictorially in fig. 2, on the basis of the
number and age of members other than the husband and wife, as follows:
I No other persons (families of two).
II One child under 16 (families of three).
III Two children under 16 (families of four).
IV One person 16 or over and one or no other person, regardless of age (families of three or four).
V One child under 16, one person 16 or over, and one or two others, regardless of age (families of
five or six.).
VI Three or four children under 16 (families of five or six).
VII One child under 16, and 4 or 5 others, regardless of age (families of seven or eight).
In the expenditure analysis for other tabulation units, families classified in only the first five types were
included and families of types II and III, and IV and V, respectively, were combined. In general, therefore,
the analysis of family type differences in this report will be confined to those units where the data were
presented for seven family types.
When average expenditures for medical care are compared for families of each type within each occu
pational group at given income levels for families in Chicago and the East Central cities, no significant
differences are found. See U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletins 642 and 644, Family Income and
Expenditure Washington, 1939, vol. II, Supplement to Tabular Summary, table B, and appendix D.
When an analysis of variance is applied to data on medical care expenditures for families in the six large
and six middle-sized city units, it appears that differences in family type, as defined in the Study of Con
sumer Purchases, were not an important factor contributing to the total variation in such expenditures.

Per person expenditures for medical care are inversely related to
family size, as shown in table 3.16 Chicago families containing seven
or eight members, for example, spent as much as $18 per member,
on the average, only when they had incomes of $3,000 and more,
while Chicago families containing only husband and wife, or husband,
wife, and one child under 16 spent at least $18 per member, on the
average, whenever their incomes exceeded $750.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
Occupational differences in medical care expense.—Occupational
classification appears to have slightly more influence than family size
on family expenditures for medical care, at given income levels.16
Families of self-employed professional and business workers tended
to spend less than families in wage-earner, clerical, or salaried business
and professional groups. This is fairly clear when family size differ
ences are eliminated, and the data are combined for families with
incomes between $1,250 and $2,500 in all the large and middle-sized
cities studied.17 Since the principal earners in many of the inde
pendent professional families were themselves physicians or dentists,
the members of their families doubtless received much care within the
home, as well as complimentary services from other members of the
medical profession. In Chicago, families of wage-earner and clerical
workers tended to have larger average medical care expenditures than
those in the business and professional group in the same income
classes. Moreover, at almost all comparable income levels, the pro
portion of Chicago families spending $50 or less on medical care was
smaller among the former than among the latter. In general, how
ever, occupational variations in family expenditures for medical care
were small and by no means entirely consistent.18
Regional differences in medical care expense.—The native white selfsustaining urban families studied in New England and the East
Central area generally spent less for medical care during the year
1935-36 than did similar families living in the Southeast or west of
the Mississippi. It is pot possible to say whether or not this regional
difference would obtain in other years, although for the year of the
survey it is clearly defined.19 When the comparison is based on the
average expenditures of families with incomes of $1,250 to $2,500 in
the large and middle-sized cities combined, with families of given type
and occupation similarly distributed for each urban group, expendi
tures in the Rocky Mountain region stand out as highest. Families
in the Pacific Northwest and the Southeast appear to have spent the
18 The occupational classification of a family was determined by the occupational group from which it
derived the major portion of its earnings during the year of the survey, whether that portion was contributed
by one or more family members. By and large the occupational classification was determined by the earn
ings of the principal earner, who, in turn, was usually the husband. For number of occupational groups
distinguished in cities of varying size and for different racial groups, see pt. II, p. 286.
17 See appendix D.
18 See U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletins 642-647 and 649, Family Income and Expenditure,
Washington, 1939, vol. II, ch. VII.
19 Comparisons among families at given income levels in different cities may be made without regard to
differences in the size and age composition of the population or in the occupational distribution of the fami
lies. All factors which differ are then considered a part of the regional or city-size differences observed.
Another approach to the problem required that the populations compared shall be qualitatively and quan
titatively alike, that is, only data for the same family type, occupational, and income groups be included,
and that each group must contain equal proportions of the total number of families in each city. Any
differences which can then be observed may be assumed to be true regional or city-size differences. Because
of time limitations, the latter type of analysis has been made only in respect to total family expenditures
for medical care and only for white families in the large and middle-sized cities included in the survey.

next largest amounts, followed in sequence by families in the West
Central, East Central, and New England regions.20
Comparison at each comparable level over the income range like
wise shows medical care expenditures to be lowest in New England
and the East Central area. On this basis, no consistent differences
appear among the remaining four regions in the case of the large cities.
As among the middle-sized cities, however, average medical care
expenditures were clearly highest in the Pacific Northwest, with Butte
and Pueblo in the Rocky Mountain area ranking next in order.
Differences in the average expenditures for medical care by families
in the Northeast and the West are illustrated in figure 3. The lines
in the chart marking the upper range of expenditures emphasize the
wide variation in outlays by individual families from the average for
the group that is characteristic of medical care expenditures. The
lower limit of expenditure with few exceptions falls along the zero
line. It will be noted that while the average expenditures of Denver
families consistently exceeded those of Providence families the maximum
expenditure at any income level was as frequently reported by a family
in Providence as by a family in Denver. The light diagonal line
indicates the slope which the lines would have taken if expenditures
had increased in the same proportion as income. Thus, it is clear
that average expenditures for medical care in both Denver and Provi
dence increase slightly more rapidly than income over the lower por
tion of the income range, and slightly more slowly over the upper
portion. Maximum expenditures, on the other hand, increase con
siderably less rapidly than income.
Size oj city differences in medical care expense.—During 1935-36
families living in the small communities covered in this report (ranging
in size from 11,000 to 19,000) generally spent for medical care as much
as, if not slightly more than, families with similar incomes in metro
politan cities in the same area.21 When average expenditures are
compared for families in metropolitan New York, in Providence, in
New Britain and Haverhill combined, and in four small New England
cities, it appears that average outlays were generally largest in the
last named unit. Similarly, the medical care expenditures of families
in five small cities in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Illinois averaged
higher than the expenditures of families in Chicago, Columbus, and
the East Central middle-sized cities. In both regions, however, ex
penditures of families living in the metropolises tended to be next
largest. Moreover, at the income levels between $3,000 and $5,000
20 See appendix D.
A test of differences in expenditures for medical care between large and middle-sized cities, based on
averages adjusted to a standardized population, for all large cities combined and all middle-sized cities
combined, was not significant. (See appendix D.) City-size comparisons will be limited throughout this
report to the East Central and Northeast areas where the Bureau of Labor Statistics covered communities
representing four degrees of urbanization. Data for cities of the four sizes are comparable at the income
levels between $500 and $3,000.

metropolitan families consistently spent more for medical care than
did families in this income range in the large or middle-sized cities in
the same geographic area.
Differences between racial groups in medical care expense.—In the
Southeastern cities Negro families with incomes below $1,750 or
$2,000 (representing the great majority of all Negro families) had
higher average total expenditures for medical care than white families
with similar incomes, but at higher levels white families generally
spent larger amounts. In Columbus there were no consistent differ
ences between white and Negro families at given income levels, while
in New York City the expenditures of white families were higher at
each income level above $1,000. Thus, it appears that racial differ
ences per se have no bearing on average total expenditures for medical
care. Negro families in Atlanta, moreover, consistently spent more
than Negro families with similar incomes in Columbus, and they, in
turn, had larger expenditures than Negroes in New York City.
Thus far, attention has been directed only to average total expendi
tures for medical care. Similarities and differences among families in
different groups have been pointed out, but without regard to the
varying ways in which the amounts were spent. It may be, for ex
ample, that while the total expenditures of families of different size
are remarkably similar, the apportionment of these expenditures
varies with family size. The regional and city-size differences in
expenditures may be a reflection of different emphasis in distributing
expenditures for medical care. In the following chapter, therefore,
the apportionment of the average total expenditures for medical care
will be discussed.
Chapter II
Components o f the Family Medical Care Bill
Family expenditures for medical care fall into three distinct cate
gories: Expenditures for care by physicians, dentists, oculists, and
other specialists, and for hospital, nursing, other special services;
expenditures for medicines, drugs, eyeglasses, medical supplies, and
appliances; and expenditures for health and accident insurance.
Some 2 to 3 million people in the United States at present obtain all
or an important part of their medical care through voluntary arrange
ments which embody the insurance principle. Some of these people
hold health and accident policies in regular insurance companies which
indemnify against medical expenditures. The majority of them,
however, purchase some or all of their medical care through a coopera
tive arrangement; that is, in return for a fixed amount paid periodically
they are entitled to specified medical services. A greater number of
persons carry insurance against the risk of loss of income due to
temporary disability.22 The families canvassed by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in the Study of Consumer Purchases were not asked
to estimate the value of care supplied directly by an insurance com
pany, an employer, or a benefit organization, under the terms of an
insurance or benefit plan. (Such care was not, however, considered
free.) When a family member received a cash benefit under the terms
of a health or an accident insurance policy, the amount was added to
current money income and any expenditure incurred for care dur
ing illness was entered under the appropriate medical expense item.
Large average outlays for health and accident insurance and relatively
small outlays for services for any group of families are, therefore, not
to be considered entirely compensatory in terms of the adequacy of
medical care expenditures.
Apportionment of Medical Care Expenditures Among Three
Major Categories
Small as are the medical care expenditures of families with incomes
between $500 to $1,000, from 17 to 35 percent of the average amounts
spent by white families in the different cities surveyed (that is, from
$5 to $13) goes for drugs, medicines, medical appliances, and eye
glasses. (See table 4, and Supplement to Tabular Summary, table C.)
Three to nine percent of the total is generally paid out in premiums
for health and accident insurance. Thus, for care by physicians,
dentists, oculists, and other specialists, as well as for hospital and
other special health services, there remains, on the average, 60 to 80
percent of total medical expenditures, or about $20 to $30. *

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
Drugs and medical supplies tend to absorb a somewhat smaller
proportion of the average total expenditures for medical care among
families at successively higher income levels. Even the white families
with incomes of $5,000 and more, however, spent in this manner $20
to $50, or 10 to more than 20 percent of their total outlay for medical
care. On the other hand, payments for services and for health and
accident insurance increased somewhat in relative importance among
white families in most cities. The shift over the income range in
the apportionment of medical expenditures among three major
categories was, however, less marked than might have been expected.
(See fig. 4.)
The average expenditures for all medical care and for the three
major components of the medical care bill are compared in table 5
for white families in 16 urban groups over a range that begins with
families having incomes of $500 to $1,000 and ends with those receiv
ing $2,500 to $3,000. Except in Chicago and the West Central cities,
the percentage increase in service expenditures, the largest of the
components, was greater than that in total expenditures for medical
care or in outlays for medicines and medical supplies. Among some
urban groups the increase in health and accident insurance payments
was more rapid than that in services, and among others, less rapid.

The percentage increases in expenditures by families in different
urban groups are directly comparable since the average incomes of
families in the $500 to $1,000 and $2,500 to $3,000 income classes,
respectively, were very similar. The relatively great increases in ex
penditures for medical care among white families in New York and
Atlanta therefore require explanation. In the case of New York,

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5-3 6
the increase is largely attributable to the extremely low average ex
pense (only $19) of families with incomes between $500 and $1,000,
which in turn reflects the fact that about two-thirds of the families
spent less than $20 for all medical care. Only one of the families in
this group spent more than $100. New York City has medical
facilities that are probably among the best in the country even in
relation to the needs of its great population. There are many hos
pitals and medical agencies in the city which furnish free service to
families which can demonstrate their need therefor. In general,
however, these hospitals and clinics adjust their fees in accordance
with what they can ascertain of the family’s financial status, and
most families which are not on relief are charged at least a nominal
fee. If the medical care expenditures of this low income group in
New York had been as large as those of Chicago families with similar
incomes, the percentage increase in expenditures over the selected
income range would have been approximately the same as in Chicago.
In the case of Atlanta, on the other hand, the sharp increase is at
tributable primarily to the high average expense of families with
incomes of $2,500 to $3,000. Over one-fourth of these families spent
more than $200 during the year for medical care, and approximately
one-eighth of the latter families spent over $500 to meet the bills of
physicians, specialists, and hospitals.
The size of white families appears to have no significant bearing on
the apportionment of medical expenditures.23 The occupation from
which a family derives the major portion of its earnings, however,
appears to have some influence on the share of the average medical
outlays allotted to the three major types of health expenditures.24
In Chicago, families of independent professional workers, among
whom were many physicians and dentists, at most income levels
spent a smaller portion of the total for services than did families in
other occupational groups, probably because of the prevalence of
courtesy service for families of men in the medical profession. Wageearner families, on the other hand, generally spent more than other
families for health and accident insurance, while families classified in
the business group tended to make relatively the smallest expenditures
for insurance. The position of wage-earner families in this respect
doubtless reflects the prevalence of health and accident insurance
plans operated by labor unions as well as the operation of contributory
health and accident insurance in some factories.25
The geographic area in which a family lives appears to influence in
some measure the relative medical expenditures of the three general

types under discussion. Outlays for services were relatively least
important for families at given income levels in the Rocky Mountain
and West Central regions, as among the large cities, and in the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Northwest regions, as among the middle-sized
cities. Families in the Southeast tended to spend a larger share of
their medical expenditures for medicines, drugs, and supplies than
did families in other regions. In general, regional differences in
patterning were less marked in the case of the large than of the middlesized cities, perhaps because the availability of medical facilities varies
more markedly among communities in the 30,000 to 75,000 popula
tion range than among cities of 250,000 to 300,000.
The relative distribution of medical expenditures was similar for
families in cities in the four size-of-city groups in the North Atlantic
and East Central areas. In the East Central region, however, health
and accident insurance payments were inversely related to city size,
with families in the five small cities covered clearly spending the
largest amounts in this manner. Moreover, differences between the
average insurance payments reported by families in the small cities
and by those in Chicago were so great that when the average expendi
tures for medical care other than for insurance are compared, it appears
that Chicago families generally spent more than the small-city
families with comparable incomes, while the reverse is true when
total expenditures for medical care are considered.
More striking differences in the distribution of medical expenditures
are found between white and Negro families at given income levels in
the Southeast than between white families at opposite ends of the
income scale. Negro families in Atlanta and the Southeastern middlesized cities at the income levels up to $2,000 paid out more, on the
average, for health and accident insurance than they spent for al]
medical services, drugs, and supplies. (See fig. 5.) Thus, white families
consistently spent more for services and medicines than did Negro
families with similar incomes. Negro families in Columbus likewise
spent a larger share of their medical care allotment for health and
accident insurance than did Columbus white families, but the differ
ences were less striking than in the Southeastern cities. And in New
York the pattern of spending for medical care was not very different
for white and Negro families.
When average expenditures by white and Negro families in both
New York and Atlanta are compared over an income range beginning
with the group having incomes between $500 and $1,000, and ending
with those with an average income of approximately $4,000, racial
differences are very marked. (See table 6.) The increase in average
outlays for all medical care is more than twice as rapid among white
as among Negro families in both cities, but the increase in expendi150667°—40----- 3

be expected, differences in the percentage increase in insurance pay

1 Average expenditures of families with incomes between $500 and $1,000 are compared with the average
expenditures of those having incomes that averaged about $4,000. Incomes averaged approximately $4,000
for all the Negro families studied in New York and Atlanta that had incomes of $3,000 or more and for all
white families studied in these cities in the income classes between $3,500 and $5,000.
MEDICAL SERVICES
Care of the teeth and treatment by medical specialists other than
dentists and oculists appears to be a luxury for most urban American
families. Average expenditures for such services were very small
for the families with incomes of $500 to $1,000 in most of the cities
covered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Study of Consumer
Purchases, but they mounted rapidly among families in the upper
portion of the income scale.
The average amounts spent for dental care generally ranged from
$2 to $8 at the low income levels, and generally rose to at least 10
times as much among families with incomes of $5,000 and more.
Since the services of “other” specialists are required in part at least
because of emergency situations, the average amounts reported are
somewhat less regular, varying from a few cents to $6 among low
income families in different cities. The absolute increase with
income in average expenditures for medical specialists reflects the
present-day specialization in the field of medicine and the growing
tendency on the part of some families with the ability to pay to rely
not on the family physician, but on the pediatrician, the dermatologist,
the allergist, the internist, the orthopedist, the gynecologist, or the
ear, nose, and throat specialist, as the case requires. The importance
of expenditures for diagnosis and treatment by specialists, in relation
to expenditures for all medical services, increases less regularly,
however, and, at least above the $1,500 income level, less rapidly than
might have been expected. (See table 7.) This confirms the
assumption that a considerable part of these expenditures were for
care that was emergency in nature.

COMPONENTS OF THE FAMILY MEDICAL CARE BILL
27
Outlays for hospitalization,26 except for obstetrical cases, reflect
emergency situations to an even greater extent. Hence, it is not sur
prising that such expenditures vary irregularly in relative importance
among different groups of families, with no clear relationship to
income.
The very small average amounts spent for private nurses whether
in the hospital or at home, by families at all except the very highest
income levels indicate that private nursing, like dental and other
specialized care, is a luxury that most families cannot afford. The
amount of care received from visiting nurses is difficult to estimate.
The average amounts spent for this type of care were very small; this
may indicate that the families studied made little use of such services,
or it may reflect the fact that many of the families received such care
without expense or at a nominal charge.
Average expenditures for clinic visits were extremely small. As in
the case of visiting nurses, however, this may be accounted for either
by negligible use of such services, free clinical care, or nominal charges.
Examinations and tests likewise took a negligible proportion of
expenditures for medical services. It is recognized that relatively
few persons have annual health examinations as a preventive measure,
and it is probable that expenditures for diagnostic tests in the case of
illness were frequently included with expenditures for the physician,
specialist, or for hospital care.
The outlays of all families with incomes of $500 to $1,000 for oculists7
care never averaged as much as $1. Even when combined with ex
penditures for eyeglasses they seldom averaged as much as $3 for the
year, among the low income families.27
The general practitioner, or family physician, still plays a predomi
nant role in meeting family health needs. A larger share of every
dollar spent for medical services goes for care by a general physician
than for any other type of medical service, except among the relatively
few families at the very high income levels, which tend to spend larger
amounts for dental care. (See fig. 4.) Very roughly, one-half the
average expenditures for services, or $10 to $20, is paid out to the
general practitioner by families with incomes between $500 and $1,000.
At least among families with incomes below $3,000, physicians7 fees
account for more than one-third of the total for services, and even
among families with incomes of $5,000 and more, as much as threetenths. The increase with income in expenditures of this type is
26 In addition to expense for hospital room or bed, the fees for physician, examinations, use of operating
room, and medicines and supplies were included under the heading of “hospital expense” in cases where
the family found it impossible to separate the various items.
27 Expenditures for eyeglasses are in this report generally included under expenditures for medicine and
medical supplies although they include the charge for an eye examination given by the person from whom
glasses were purchased and frequently conceal the fee for an optometrist’s examination ostensibly offered
as a free service with the purchase of eyeglasses.
28

nevertheless relatively slow, generally less than for any other important
type of medical service, reflecting the irreducible minimum of expendi
ture for low income families and the tendency for the very high income
families to turn to specialists.
When expenditures for the general practitioner and the specialist
are considered in combination, as representing the major portion of
nonhospitalized care during illness, it appears that they have some
what less relative importance at the high than at the low income levels.
The relative decline is in general slight, however, and the combined
expenditures commonly account for at least two-fifths of all medical
service expenditures, amounting to more than outlays for dental care
even among families with incomes of $5,000 and more.
In the foregoing discussion, an attempt has been made to generalize
from data collected from families of different composition and occu
pational classification, as well as from families living in cities of
different size and in different sections of the country. The patterns
suggested are by no means always sharply defined; the tendencies indi
cated, by no means uniform for every group. The similarities, how
ever, are far more striking than the differences. Two exceptions must
nevertheless be noted. Negro families in the Southeast devoted a
substantially larger share of expenditures for medical services to the
general practitioner than did white families. (See fig. 5.) Negro
families in New York, on the other hand, spent a remarkably large
proportion of their medical service expenditures for dental care,
averaging more than two-fifths of the total for services at the low as
well as at the high income levels. Among white families, it is prob
able that the inconsistencies in the patterning of expenditures for
medical services reflect the chance fluctuations characteristic of small
samples rather than significant differences between groups.
The distribution of expenditures for medical services, averaged for
all families, is an indicator both of the adequacy of and also of the
relative importance attached to various types of service by different
groups of the families. Data on the proportions of families that
made expenditures for each type of service is another such measure.
Families reporting expenditures for specified types of service.—Among
white families in the lower income classes in all cities except those in
the Pacific Northwest, a larger proportion reported expenditures for
office visits to a general physician than for any other type of medical
service.28 There was a very moderate tendency for these proportions
to increase over the income range. In general, however, among white
families at any income level in all cities, including those in the North
west, no less than two in five families and no more than two in three
reported office visits to a physician during the year of the survey.
28 If a family was unable to allocate expenditures for physician between home and office visits, the
expense was divided equally between the two.

Almost without exception more white families with incomes above
$3,000 reported expenditures for dental care than reported expendi
tures for physicians’ office visits. In Omaha, Denver, and the Rocky
Mountain middle-sized cities, moreover, this relatively greater fre
quency of dental care was characteristic of families with incomes of
$1,750 or more; while in the three cities studied in the Pacific North
west, more families reported visits to a dentist than to a general
physician whenever family income amounted to $500 or more. The
proportion of families reporting expenditures for dental care was
generally higher in the Western than in the Eastern or Southern cities,
although the differences were most marked in the lower portion of
the income scale. In the Western cities, at least two-fifths of the
families with incomes of $750 and more, and two-thirds to four-fifths
or more of those at the income levels above $2,500 reported expendi
tures of this type. It is improbable that these regional differences
indicate varying needs for dental care. The more common purchase
of dental service by families in the West probably reflects rather
greater emphasis, perhaps, in the schools, on the importance of dental
prophylaxis. In the Pacific Northwest cities, at least, the relative
frequency of families incurring expenditures for dental care was some
what greater, at given income levels, among those containing one or
two children under 16 than among other families. It should be
noted in passing, however, that even the high proportions of families
30
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
reporting dental care expenditures at the upper income levels repre
sent a condition considerably below the standard of a semiannual
dental check-up for every person.
The proportion of white families reporting expenditures for home
visits from a general practitioner was throughout the income range
usually slightly less than the proportion reporting office visits to a
physician. As might be expected, in view of the higher fees for
home than for office visits, the tendency for the proportion of families
making such expenditures to increase with income was more marked
in the case of home than of office visits. In general, at least one in
every five families reported outlays for physicians’ home calls, but
even at the upper income levels it was uncommon for more than every
second family to incur expenditures for such services. Among fami
lies containing one to four children under 16 years, the proportions
reporting expenditures for home calls by a physician were generally
above the average for all families. Two-person families, on the
other hand, and those containing three or four persons, at least three
of whom were 16 or over, purchased such services least frequently.
While expenditures for dental care were most common in the
Pacific Northwest, expenditures for physicians’ visits to the home
were there least common. Less than one in three families incurred
such expenditures during the year of the survey at income levels
below $3,500 in the Pacific Northwest middle-sized cities and below
$4,000 in Portland.
Data are not available on the proportions of families that made
expenditures for physicians’ home and/or office visits. Special
tabulations have been prepared, however, to show the proportions of
families at different income levels that reported any expense for a
general physician or a specialist, other than a dentist or oculist, for
the white sample taken in Chicago and the Rocky Mountain middlesized cities and for the white and Negro samples in Atlanta. As
shown in table 9, at least 2 in every 3 white families with incomes of
$1,250 or more reported some expense incurred for physician or special
ist. At no income level, however, did as many as 9 in 10 families
report such expenditures. These figures may be assumed to be
reasonably representative of cities of different size in different sections
of the country. In view of the annual expectancy rate of 927.8 per
1,000 of the general population for diseases and conditions (other
than those of the teeth and gums or the eye and annexa and neuroses
and behavior problems) requiring diagnosis and treatment,29 these
data support the evidence obtained from the data on money expendi
tures that many persons are not receiving even the minimum medical
attention they require.

a Data were combined for white families with incomes of $5,000 and more in the middle-sized cities.
3 Data were combined for white families with incomes of $7,500 and more in the large cities.
4 Data were combined for Negro families with incomes of $4,000 and more in Atlanta.
Of white families at any income level below $5,000 in any of the
16 city units studied, no more than 1 in 4 incurred expenditures for
the services of specialists other than dentists and oculists. At the
income levels below $1,250, less than 1 in 8 purchased such services
during the year of the survey.
Purchase of oculists’ care was in general no more common than the
purchase of care by “other” specialists, although there was a some
what clearer tendency for families in the upper portion of the income
scale to make expenditures for such services more frequently than
low income families. Nevertheless, in view of the low annual expect
ancy rate of 8.5 per 1,000 of the general population for diseases and
conditions of the eye and annexa needing diagnosis and treatment,
the proportion of families incurring expenditures for oculists’ care do
not appear unduly low.
The proportions of white families (generally between 10 and 20
percent) that reported expense for hospitalization showed no consistent
relation to income level, although by and large the proportions were
higher at the top than at the bottom of the income scale. According
to the findings of the National Health Survey,30 the incidence of illness
is 17 percent greater among nonrelief families with incomes below
$1,000 than among those with incomes of $3,000 and more, with the
major part of this excess due to the greater frequency of illnesses lasting
3 months or more. In addition, inadequate housing facilities make
hospitalization of certain types of cases more important for low than

for high income families. It thus seems evident that hospital services
are not sufficiently available to low income families.
There is no clear evidence from data collected in this study that the
utilization of hospital services is directly related to city size, although
hospital facilities are known to be inadequate in many small com
munities. In the East Central area, to be sure, at the income levels
between $1,000 to $3,000 the proportion of families that reported
expenditures for hospitalization was in general slightly smaller in the
five small cities covered than in the larger communities, with Chicago
tending to rank highest. In the Northeast, on the other hand, at
most income levels relatively more families in the small cities than in
New York, Providence, or the medium-sized cities purchased hospital
services during the year 1935-36.
At the income levels below $3,000 generally less than 1 in 20 of the
families in any group had expenditures for private nurses. The pro
portions rose rapidly, though irregularly, at succeeding income levels.
The contrast in prevalence between low and high income groups is
probably more striking in respect to nursing care than in respect to
any other type of medical service.
The discussion of families reporting expenditures for various services
has thus far been limited to data for the white samples, since the data
for the smaller Negro samples are less regular, and thus do not lend
themselves so readily to generalization. By and large, it may be
said, however, that expenditures for any given type of medical service
were incurred by smaller proportions of Negro than of white families
with similar incomes in Columbus, Atlanta, and to a less marked
extent, in New York and the Southeastern middle-sized cities. In
the latter city unit, this was not true in respect to expenditures for
physicians’ home calls or for oculists’ care. The relatively low rate of
utilization of the services of physicians, dentists, and oculists by
Negro families in New York, Columbus, and Atlanta may be attributa
ble in part to differences between the two racial groups in standards of
medical care and in part to difference in the availability of such serv
ices. The generally small proportions of Negro families making ex
penditures for hospitalization and “other” specialists are doubtless
to be explained on similar grounds.
An interesting contrast between white and Negro families in habits
of spending for medical care appears in respect to the relative fre
quency of expenditures for home and office visits of the general practictioner. New York Negro families followed the pattern of the
white groups, with a greater number at almost every income level in
curring expenditures for office than for home visits. Among Negroes
in Columbus and the Southeastern cities, however, the reverse was
generally true.

Data on the proportions of families reporting expenditures for vari
ous medical services indicate the extent of utilization of such services
by different groups, and thus reflect in some part the adequacy with
which various health needs are met by different groups of families.
Data on average expenditures for various services by families incur
ring expenditures for such services, which will be discussed next,
throw light rather on the costs of different types of care and on the
distribution of the burden of expenditures.
Outlays of families that incurred expenditures for various services.—
When the aggregate amounts spent during the year of the survey for
various medical services are distributed among all families in a given
income group, the averages are in general comparatively small, par
ticularly at the lower income levels where many families incur no
expenditures for given services. The burden of expense to families
that made outlays for various services is, however, far heavier than
indicated by all-family averages. When the aggregate amounts spent
are distributed among only those families that incurred an expense,
as shown in table 10 for selected urban groups, the averages are
sometimes as large among low as among high income families.31 Al
though this is true in respect to almost every type of service and aver
age outlays vary irregularly from one income level to the next, there is
a general tendency for large average outlays to be reported more
frequently in the upper than in the lower portion of the income range.
This tendency reflects at least in small part the adjustment of medical
care fees to accord with a patient’s income. Since it reflects more
sharply, however, the practice among financially hard-pressed persons
of restricting purchase of services to the barest minimum, the simi
larity of averages at the high and low income levels is more or less
pronounced as the particular service is commoidy considered in the
nature of a “luxury” or a “necessity” expenditure.
Among white families in the 16 city units covered, at the levels
between $1,000 and $3,000, the lowest average expenditure for office
visits to a general physician, per family incurring such expense, was
$13, the highest, $50. For most groups at these income levels, the
averages ranged only from $20 to $30, although the amounts tended
to be somewhat above the average among families in Atlanta, Denver,
and Portland.32 At lower and at higher income levels, where fewer
families were studied, average expenditures ranged more widely
from one city to another. Thus, to cite an extreme example, at the
$500 to $750 income level, Atlanta white families that incurred ex31 The average expenditures for any specified type of medical care for families incurring such expense may
be derived from the data presented in table 3 of pt. II by dividing the “Average expenditure” for any given
group, as shown in sec. B, by the “Percentage of families reporting expenditure” shown in the correspond
ing column of sec. A. Data in the accompanying table 10 are presented by way of illustration.
3 Among Negro families at these income classes, the average expenditures varied somewhat more widely.

penditures for office visits to a physician spent only $3 in this manner,
while the white families in Omaha that made such outlays averaged
$104. Among large city white families with incomes of $5,000 to
$7,500, on the other hand, average outlays for physicians’ office visits
varied from $27 in Omaha to $95 in Atlanta.
The burden of expense for home visits by a physician, which are
more expensive but less frequent, as shown in tables 11 and 12, was
distributed in a similar manner. For given groups of families, how
ever, the average expense for home visits more often exceeded that for
office visits at the high than at the low income levels.
Special analysis of the data collected in Chicago indicate that of the
families that incurred expenditures for physicians’ care, those in the
higher income groups generally made more visits to a physician at his
office and likewise received more home calls from a physician than did
families in the lower income groups. (See table 11.)

The differences with income are sharper in respect to office visits
than in the case of home calls, doubtless reflecting the fact that when
an illness does not necessitate home calls from a physician, persons in
low income families are much less likely than those in families of more
comfortable circumstances to obtain treatment from a physician at his
office. The average number of office visits reported by high income
families do not seem great enough, however, to cover the purchase of
much preventive care.
Independent professional families reported less frequent office visits
to a physician, and both independent and salaried professional
families, fewer home calls from a physician, on the average, than did

families in other occupational groups at comparable income levels in
Chicago. Wage-earner families tended to report the most visits to
and from a physician.33 Family size, on the other hand, had little
influence on the frequency of visits to or from a physician, although
Chicago families containing three or four members, at least three of
them 16 years or over, generally reported a greater number of home
calls from a physician than did Chicago families of different composi
tion with similar incomes.34 It may be that these families included a
relatively large proportion of older persons who are subject to more
illness than those in the middle-age groups.
When the average expenditures per visit to or from a physician are
compared for all Chicago families studied at different income levels,
there is a negligible increase with income in the case of office visits,
and only a very moderate increase in the case of house calls, as shown
in table ll.35 Average expenditures per visit vary irregularly from
one income level to the next.
According to the data in table 12, Chicago families generally pay
$2 or $3 for an office visit to a physician. More than three in every
five of those at the income levels below $3,000 pay $2. Of those with
higher incomes, a decreasing proportion reported the usual fee as $2 or
less, and an increasing proportion as $3 or more. The usual fee for
home calls is reported as $3 by more than half the families in every
income group below $4,000. It should be noted, furthermore, that in
each income class from $1,000 to $2,500 about one-fourth of the
families reported a fee for office visits in excess of $2, and roughly
one-sixth of the families reported more than $3 as the usual fee for
home calls. Thus, it would appear that any very extensive adjust
ment in physicians’ fees to accord with the patient’s financial circum
stances usually begins above the income levels covered for this study
or is made in the bill for major illness rather than in the rate for
occasional services.
In contrast to expenditures for the services of a general practitioner,
average outlays for dental care by families that incurred such ex
penditures showed a fairly consistent tendency to increase with
income. This reinforces the suggestion advanced above that dental
care is regarded as something of a luxury expenditure. Native born
urban families appear to be aware of the importance of caring for
their teeth. At successively higher income levels, larger proportions
of the families make expenditures for dental care, and of those families
that have dental care, larger amounts are spent for this purpose.
33 See supplement to Tabular Summary, table F.
34 See supplement to Tabular Summary, table G.
35 These figures were obtained by dividing the average expenditures of families that incurred expenditures
by the average number of visits to or from a physician by families that reported visits. Since some families
that incurred expenditures failed to report the number of office visits or home calls, the data are only
approximate.

1These data represent an unweighted distribution of the Chicago families that reported the fees charged
for physicians’ services.
In general, less than $20 was spent for dental care during the year
by families with incomes below $1,250 that made any such expenditure,
while more than $70 was spent, on the average, by the families with
incomes above $7,500, and more than $50 by those with incomes of
$5,000 or over. The expenditures of the low income families probably
cover little more than extractions and other emergency work to relieve
toothache, while the outlays of the high income families appear suffi
cient to provide adequate prophylactic care in many cases.
Of the families incurring expenditures for dental care, those in
New York and Chicago generally spent more than those with corre
sponding incomes in the smaller cities in the same region. There were
no consistent city-size differences in the proportions of families report
ing expenditures for dental care. Whether the differences in average
expenditure reflect a difference in charges or in amount of care
received is not now known.
Negro families in New York generally spent for dental care as
much as white families with similar incomes, if not more. In Colum
bus and the Southeastern cities, on the other hand, the white families
that incurred dental expenditures usually spent larger average amounts
than the Negro families that had such expenditures.
Among families that incur expenditures for physicians’ services or
for dental care, the amounts spent for dental care fluctuate relatively

less widely than do the amounts spent for physicians’ services.36 As a
general characteristic, this is not surprising, but one might expect the
percentage variation in expenditures for dental care to be as great
as that in expenditures for the physician among the low income
families. Family income, however, appears to have no direct effect
on the relative variation among families in expenditures for either
type of service.
Average expenditures for hospital room and bed, per family incurring
expense for such services, show almost no relation to family income.
For almost every city covered in the survey, averages for some of the
low income groups were as large as any for high income groups, rang
ing in amount from about $30 to more than $200. The burden of
hospital expenses is thus particularly uneven.
The average number of days spent in the hospital is in general sub
stantially larger for families at the low than at the high income levels,
as shown in table 13, for Chicago families. The prolonged period of
hospitalization reported by the few Chicago families with incomes of
$500 to $750 that incurred any expenditure for hospital care is par
ticularly striking. Of the Chicago families that reported outlays for
hospital care, those in the wage-earner and clerical groups generally
reported a greater number of days in the hospital than did those with
similar incomes in the business and professional categories.37
Hospital expenses per day, on the other hand, are much smaller
among low than among high income groups. (See table 14.) This
reflects, of course, both differences in the general price scale of hospitals
selected by families at different income levels and also the shift, at
successively higher income levels, from ward bed to large private room.
Nursing care in case of illness is as a rule provided by the housewife
or other family member. It is, however, so difficult to evaluate such
unpaid nursing services that no attempt was made to include them
in the consideration of medical care received. The few families
that had the services of private nurses made large expenditures,
which would seem to indicate that trained nurses are usually employed
only in cases of serious illness. In New York, Providence, arid
Portland, for example, the expenditures of white families that had
private nurses averaged more than $100 for the year at most income
levels above $2,000. In the New England middle-sized cities the
few families with incomes of $3,500 to $4,000 that had private nurses
incurred expenditures of $544. The probable effect of such obliga
tions on a family budget is obvious.
3 Coefficients of variation in expenditures for physicians’ services (home and office visits combined) and
6
for dental care were computed for Chicago families in each of the seven family types studied for three occu
pational groups (wage earner, clerical, and business and professional) at each income level between $1,250
and $5,000. The distribution of these coefficients by intervals of 0.10 is shown in supplement to Tabular
Summary, table H. The midpoint of the distribution for physicians’ services is 0.87 percent; that for dental
care, 0.67 percent.

Families that turn to specialists other than dentists or oculists for
medical attention generally incur substantial bills. For example,
among white families in New York and Columbus reporting such
expenditures, at every income level above $1,250, the average expenses
for the year of the survey exceeded $50. There is a general upward
trend with income in average outlays for specialists’ care, although
there is great irregularity from one income level to the next.
Oculists’ care generally cost the families that incurred outlays
therefor from $5 to $12, regardless of family income, although smaller
amounts were reported by some groups, and substantially larger sums
by others. In ordinary cases, one thorough examination by an
oculist is sufficient for diagnosis of eye trouble and prescription of
glasses or other remedial care. There is little evidence that oculists’
fees are adjusted to family income.

Eight or nine in almost every ten families covered by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics in the Study of Consumer Purchases made some
expenditures during the year of the survey for medicines and drugs.
The relatively large share of all expenditures for medical care absorbed,
on the average, by expenditures of this type, together with outlays
for eyeglasses, and medical appliances and supplies, has already been
noted. Expenditures for medicines and drugs made up the major
portion (generally at least 60 percent of the total) for this miscella
neous group of items, although they tended to decline slightly in
relative importance at successive income levels. The relatively large
medicine and drug expenditures of the low income groups suggest
reliance on drug store remedies as a substitute for more expensive

care by physicians, although they may also represent payments for
prescriptions obtained at clinics where services are provided free or
at a nominal charge.
Average expenditures for medical appliances and supplies, including
bandages, thermometers, hot water bottles, braces, crutches, and the
like, made up approximately to
percent of the total for this cate
gory among families at all income levels in most cities. Average
outlays for eyeglasses,3 on the other hand, tended to increase in rela
8
tive importance at succeeding income levels.

15
When aggregate expenditures for medicines and drugs were dis
tributed among all families, the averages generally ranged from $5
to $10 at the lower income levels, and rose to $25 to $30 or more at the
highest levels, but the increase was less rapid than that M family
income. Average expenditures per family making such expenditures
were somewhat higher, but the differences were not substantial be
cause of the high percentage of families buying remedies for illness.
The variations among families in given groups in expenditures for
medicines and drugs are about as great as those in the expenditures
for dental care.39 This is rather surprising, but probably reflects the
presence in most groups of a few persons that need expensive medicines,
such as insulin, for protracted periods.
Purchase of eyeglasses during the year of the survey was reported
by less than one-third of the families at the income levels below $2,500,
and by as many as one-half the families only at the high income levels
in a few cities. In general, the proportion of families that incurred
expenditures for eyeglasses increased with income. Over the whole
income range, it tended to be higher in the Rocky Mountain and
Pacific Northwest cities than elsewhere. With few exceptions, the
proportion of families purchasing glasses was greater among white
than among Negro families with similar incomes in the cities where
Negro families were studied. It is probable that this difference re
flects the relatively infrequent employment of Negroes in clerical and
professional occupations.
Average outlays for eyeglasses by families purchasing glasses showed
a very moderate tendency to increase with income, but for most groups
of families ranged only from $10 to $20. The slight increase probably
reflects the purchase of more expensive frames by the families in com
fortable financial circumstances.

New England and Southeastern large and middle-sized cities studied,
less than one-third of the white families at almost every income level
below $4,000 reported payments for health or accident insurance.40
Insurance against death is very common. Among the families cov
ered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Study of Consumer
Purchases, about three-fourths of those with incomes of $1,000 paid
out about $5 a month in life insurance premiums, even though funds
had to be borrowed to meet current premiums; nine-tenths of the fam
ilies at the $2,000 income level carried some type of life insurance,
averaging nearly $10 per month in premiums; almost all families with
incomes of $4,000 made an investment in this type of protection and
savings that averaged about $20 a month.41
Long-term disability of the family breadwinner may have almost
as serious effect as death on family income. Why then do not more
families purchase protection against the chance of ill health or acci
dent? Are families generally unmindful of this need? Or do the
terms for this type of protection offered by insurance companies seem
unattractive? The opportunities for joining private group health
organizations are of course still very limited.
In general, two or three times as large a proportion of the white
families at the high as at the low income levels reported health or
accident insurance payments, but the increase with income was by
no means regular.
Geographical location appears to have considerable influence on the
propensity of families to purchase health and accident insurance.
Thus, in contrast to the low figures cited above for Chicago and the
North and South Atlantic cities, more than a third of the families at
almost every income level above $1,000 in Omaha, Portland, and the
middle-sized cities in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest
areas made payments on health or accident insurance. Omaha stood
out among the large cities, with more than half the families at all
but one level above $1,500 making such insurance payments.
A considerable number of concerns in this country have established
their own medical facilities and employ physicians on a salaried basis
to give general medical care to employees and in many cases to de
pendents of employees. When the services approximate complete
care, the employees usually bear part or all of the cost through a deduc
tion in wages. While industrial medical services are found in all indus
tries, they are important only in railway transportation, coal and
metal mining, the lumber industry, and the southern textile industry.42

portion of dues to fraternal organizations and unions so chargeable. If an employer deducted from earnings
for accident or health insurance, such amounts were included and added to earnings.

Pacific Railroad, the western terminus of the Chicago and North West
ern, and as an important junction for several other trunk-line railway
systems. The high proportions of families in Omaha-Council Bluffs
that made payments for health and accident insurance therefore
probably reflect the large number of persons employed by the railroad
lines.
As western families are more likely than those on the east coast to
carry health and accident insurance, so families in the small communi
ties are more likely to carry such insurance than families in larger
urban centers in the same geographic area. Thus, while the propor
tion of families at the income levels between $750 and $3,000 that
reported health or accident insurance ranged from 33 to 58 percent
in the five small cities studied in the East Central region, it varied
between 9 and 29 percent in Chicago. In both the East Central and
the Northeast areas, small-city families ranked high, with families
in the metropolitan center at the other extreme. No consistent
differences appeared between large and middle-sized cities, however.
Payments for health and accident insurance, as already noted, con
stituted a far larger share of all medical care expenditures among
Negro than among white families with similar incomes in the South
east and, to a lesser extent, in Columbus. Hence, it is not surprising
to find that the proportion of families making payments for such
insurance was far higher for the Negro than for the white group in
the Southeast.43 In Columbus, this was uniformly true only at the
income levels below $1,750. In New York, at some income levels
relatively more Negro families and at other levels relatively more
white families paid for health or accident insurance. Except in New
York, there was no tendency, as among white families, for the pro
portions of Negro families carrying insurance against illness or acci
dent to increase with income. Indeed, in Atlanta, 75 to 87 percent
of the Negro families at the income levels between $500 and $1,750
carried such insurance, while at succeeding levels the proportions
ranged from 46 to 67 percent. (See table 14.)
Among white families that incurred expenditures for health and
accident insurance, monthly premiums seldom averaged as much as
$2 at the income levels below $1,000, and for only a few groups at the
highest levels did they exceed $4. Average payments tended to be
slightly higher in the western than in the eastern cities.
Not only do Negro families have health and accident insurance
more frequently than white families, but also, the average payments
of those having such insurance are considerably higher. In Atlanta
monthly payments averaged more than $3 at every income level
above $750 and at least $5 at every level above $2,500.
4 These figures may reflect largely the common practice among Negroes of joining fraternal lodges, which
3
offer health as well as burial insurance.

Chapter III
T he Adequacy of Spending for Medical Care
The medical profession and public officials responsible for the
general health of the population are concerned with the problem of
providing “adequate, scientific medical service” for persons in all
economic groups at a cost that can be reasonably met by them, and
with the further problem of the present uneven distribution of the
costs of medical care.
Data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Study of
Consumer Purchases add to the evidence obtained from other studies
on the uneven burden of medical costs. The foregoing discussion
has made it plain that in every income group a few families bear a
very high proportion of the aggregate medical care expenditures of
the group.44 The expenses of some families even in the upper income
groups are relatively so great that their usual pattern of spending for
consumer goods and services may be drastically changed and their
past savings wiped out. This is the case when prolonged hospitaliza
tion, long-continued care by physician or specialist, or private nursing
services are required. The situation is, of course, far more serious
among families whose current incomes provide little more than the
essentials of food, housing, and clothing, and whose past savings, if
any, are very small.
Adequate, scientific medical care has been defined by Drs. Lee and
Jones, in a publication of the committee on the costs of medical care,
as having both a quantitative and a qualitative aspect.45 “It means,”
they say, “a sufficient quantity of good medical care to supply the
needs of the people according to* the standards of good current prac
tice. * * * Modern medicine embraces in its scope the
application of all branches of scientific knowledge to the promotion
and preservation of health, and the prevention, diagnosis, and treat
ment of disease.” The need for medical care, as distinct from the
demand, which is conditioned by economic factors, is thus “com
pounded of two constantly changing factors: The science and art
of medicine on the one hand; on the other, the changing expectancy
of disease.”
4 Among Portland families, for example, about 7 percent of those with incomes between $750 and $1,000
4
made almost one-third of the aggregate expenditures for medical care, and at the $3,000 to $3,500 level, less
than 9 percent of the families spent about one-third of the aggregate medical care expenditures of the group.

Lee and Jones estimated the medical care required by a population
with the age distribution which prevailed in 1930, and Samuel Brad
bury 46 has estimated its cost at about $76 per person when services
are obtained on an individual basis. This figure, which excludes the
costs of community services, dentistry, and medicines and appliances,
is accepted by the Technical Committee on Medical Care.47
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has made no effort to establish
standards of medical care or its reasonable cost. The Study of
Consumer Purchases indicates, however, that average expenditures
amounted to $76 or more per person only among families with incomes
of $7,500 or more. In general, at the income levels below $5,000,
and, in all cases, below $3,500, the families surveyed spent less than
half this amount per person. (See table 15.)48 It is obvious that a
radical readjustment of spending habits would be required to bring
about an average expenditure of as much as $76 per person.
According to the report of the Technical Committee on Medical
Care, on the assumption that care is purchased by groups rather than
by individuals, “from the experience of various organized medical
service and insurance plans, about $17.50 per person a year appears
to be a reasonable minimum estimate of the cost of furnishing ade
quate care, exclusive of dentistry.” 49 As shown in table 16, the
average medical care expenditures 50 of families covered in the Study
of Consumer Purchases would be sufficient to provide this amount
when income exceeded $1,250 among white families in Denver and
Negro families in the Southeastern cities, at the one extreme, and at
the other extreme, when family income exceeded $3,000 for white
families in the East Central middle-sized cities. By and large, when
family income is at least $1,250, the average amounts now spent for
4 Bradbury, Samuel: The Cost of Adequate Medical Care, Chicago, 1937, pp. 52 and 53. See also Inter
6
departmental Committee to Coordinate Health and Welfare Activities, Proceedings National Health
Conference, July 1938, Report of the Technical Committee on Medical Care, Washington, 1938, p. 57.
4 The need for medical care was estimated according to the present incidence of illness and the amount
7
and kind of services required on the basis of sample opinions of many medical practitioners. The average
cost of adequate care was figured in general according to the current schedule of minimum fees for services
rendered, as shown in the 1933-34 Blue Book of the Chicago Medical Society.
4 The need for medical care is not the same in all communities. It varies with the age distribution of
8
different population groups. The number of families covered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Study
of Consumer Purchases is in many income classes in different cities so small that the incidence of illness
during the year of the survey doubtless did not correspond to the annual expectancy rate of illness. Since
no data on illness were collected, adequacy of the care received can be judged only roughly in terms of aver
age expenditures. The figures from this survey that are used as a basis for the comparison exclude expendi
tures for dental care, medicine, medical supplies, and eyeglasses, but include expenditures for health and
accident insurance premiums. The exclusion of expenditures for such insurance would reduce the per
centages shown in table 15 only slightly in the case of white families, although, in the case of the Negro
families in Columbus and the Southeast, it would make a substantial difference. On the other hand, since
expenditures for medicines would probably be considerably smaller than at present if persons received
adequate care, such amounts (not now included in the figures on which the comparison is based) would be
available for purchase of medical services.

5 Expenditures for health and accident insurance are included. Since purchase of medical care on a

group basis is per se a method of insurance, present payments for health and accident insurance would, of
course, be available for spending on medical services under a group plan.

CARE
The larger a family, however, the higher its income must be in order
that average expenditures be large enough to provide adequate medical
care. This is strikingly illustrated by the figures in table 17 on the
ratio of the actual expenditures of families in the East Central small
cities to the estimated minimum cost of adequate care purchased on
a group basis. Thus, with incomes of $1,250, two-person families
generally spend more than $17.50. Incomes must be almost twice as
large, or range between $2,250 and $2,500 before families of three or
four, at least three of them 16 years or over, spend this much. Among
families containing seven or eight members, on the other hand, even
for the group with incomes between $2,500 and $3,000 average
expenditures as of 1935-36 would have to be increased by approxi
mately one-third to provide an amount equal to the estimated cost of
adequate care purchased on a group basis.

i The 7 family types are distinguished on the basis of the number and age of members other than husband
and wife, as follows:
I. No other persons (families of 2).
II. 1 child under 16 (families of 3).
III. 2 children under 16 (families of 4).
IV. 1 person 16 or over and 1 or no other person, regardless of age (families of 3 or 4).
V. 1 child under 16,1 person 16 or over, and 1 or 2 others, regardless of age (families of 5 or 6).
VI. 3 or 4 children under 16 (families of 5 or 6).
VII. 1 child under 16, and 4 or 5 others, regardless of age (families of 7 or 8).
No estimate has been made of the cost of adequate dental care,
purchased on an individual basis. An estimate of $7.50 per person as
the minimum cost for such care when purchased on a group basis,
however, is quoted in the report of the Technical Committee on
Medical Care. When average expenditures per person for dental
care are compared with this estimated minimum cost figure, as in
table 18, it appears that it was only at higher income levels that
both white and Negro families in every city spent enough in 1935-36
to cover the cost of adequate dental care computed on this basis.
At the lower income levels, moreover, present expenditures for dental
care would have to be increased many more times than would present
expenditures for other services in order to cover the estimated mini
mum cost of each when purchased on a group basis.

THE ADEQUACY OF SPENDING FOR MEDICAL CARE
51
In connection with estimates of the cost of a health program and the
capacity of families to bear these costs, it seems obvious that at the
lower income levels there is an inadequate surplus after food and hous
ing costs have been met to provide adequate medical care. It is
widely recognized that adequate food and good housing are among the
primary costs to be met in any positive health program. The level
at which self-sufficiency as regards adequate medical care may be
expected will depend not alone upon the indicated average expendi
tures ; it will depend also upon the regularity with which expenditures
are made. The present averages reflect small expenditures by the
majority of families and large expenditures by a few. If, however,
the cost of health could be budgeted and medical care paid for by
regular, relatively small installments, the majority of families with
incomes above $1,500 could probably spend annually somewhat more
in the aggregate than they now spend in any one year.51
51 As Drs. Lee and Jones (see p. 44) point out, over a period of time adequate medical care would reduce the
physical need for care, and hence the cost, but at the same time advances in medical knowledge might
increase the need, and thus the cost, in terms of the medical standard for adequate diagnosis and treatment.

expenditure.
Appendix A
Scope and Method of the Study of Consumer
Purchases: Urban Series
The data collected in the Urban Series of the Study of Consumer
Purchases is presented in three sets of publications. The first two,
which have been published in a series of two-volume bulletins, per
tain to the distribution of families according to nativity, income,
occupational group, family composition, and home tenure; and to the
expenditure of current income for the major categories of consumption.1
The third set of publications covers the details of expenditures;
for example, the report on food presents not only total expenditures
for food but also the details on expenditure for meals away from
home, and for specific food items, such as white flour and lamb chops.
These details are presented in a series of volumes,2each one containing
the data in tabular form for a certain group of expenditures, such
as those for food or for housing, for all the communities covered by
the Urban Series of the Study of Consumer Purchases.3
1See the following bulletins:
Bull. No. 642. Family Income and Expenditure in Chicago, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 643. Family Income and Expenditure in New York City, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 644. Family Income and Expenditure in Nine Cities of the East Central Region, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 645. Family Income and Expenditure in Selected New England Cities, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 646. Family Income and Expenditure in Selected Urban Communities in the West
Central-Rocky Mountain Region, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 647. Family Income and Expenditure in Selected Southeastern Cities, 1935-36.
Bull. No. 649. Family Income and Expenditure in Four Urban Communities in the Pacific North
west Region, 1935-36.
Each bulletin is published in two volumes. Volume I, Family Income, pertains primarily to the income
data but also includes information on family composition and rents paid. Volume II, Family Expendi
tures, contains the summary of expenditures for each of the major categories of consumption such as housing,
food, clothing, medical care, etc. Thus, in these volumes, total expenditures for medical care are compared
with expenditures for these other groups of items of consumption.
2The volumes which together make up Bull. No. 648, Family Expenditures in Selected Cities, are as
follows:
V o lu m e
I. Housing.
II. Food.
III. Clothing and Personal Care
IV. Furnishings and Equipment.
V. Medical Care.
VI. Travel and Transportation.
VII. Recreation, Education, and Contributions and Personal Taxes.
VIII. Changes in Assets and Liabilities.
3 Families providing income and expenditure data selected the report year that they preferred, either the
calendar year 1935 or a 12
-month period ending in 1936. All data represent family expenditure for a period
of 12months during 1935-36, except the material pertaining to the details of expenditure for food. This is
based on 1week’s consumption in 1936.

The Population Covered
Cities studied.—The cities included in the Consumer Purchases
Study were chosen to represent the metropolis, the large city with a
population from 250,000 to 300,000, the middle-sized city with a
population from 30,000 to 75,000, and the small city with a population
from 8,000 to 20,000, in 6 different regions of the country. In the
field work the Bureau of Labor Statistics covered all the cities in
cluded in the first three groups, and 10 of the small cities. In the
analysis of the results, this Bureau has been responsible for the data
from the cities shown in the following table:4

Since the purpose of the expenditure survey was to determine, inso
far as it is possible to do so, the influence of income, family type, and
occupation upon family spending, it seemed wise not to try to cover,
with the restricted funds available for the investigation, the total pop
ulation of each community studied. Instead certain qualifications
were set up, for the purpose of eliminating as far as possible the effect
of alien customs, economic stress, and broken family ties which might
tend to obscure the factors in family spending which it was desired to
measure.
Nativity groups.—The survey was limited to families in which the
husband and wife were both native born. In New York, Columbus,
and the Southeast, data were obtained not only from white families,
but also from Negro families; in the other cities the investigation was
confined to white families.
Income and occupational groups.—In all cities, families having re
ceived relief at some time during the year were excluded from the
expenditure survey. The population covered was further restricted
by the omission of nonrelief families with incomes below the levels
4 See p. 309 for the cities covered by the Bureau of Home Economics.

which define the customary spending of nonrelief groups. Families
with incomes below $500 in the metropolises, white families with in
comes below $500 in the larger cities, and white families with incomes
below $250 in the other cities were omitted. Among Negro families
in Columbus, those with incomes below $250 were likewise excluded.
In most of the cities studied, families in the wage-earner and cler
ical groups only were included in the sample at the lowest income
levels, and only families in the business and professional groups, at
the upper levels, since the families in these groups were considered
most representative of the extremes of the income scale.
For purposes of this study, families were classified into six major
occupational groups: wage-earner, clerical, independent business, in
dependent professional, salaried business, and salaried professional.
The occupational classification of a family was determined by the
major source of earnings, whether contributed by one or more members.
Data secured from families with no gainfully employed members,
which formed a very small proportion of all families in the selected
random sample, were not included in the summary of the details of
expenditures. A special study of the expenditures of families with
no gainfully employed members was made for Chicago, for Columbus
white families, and for families in the East Central middle-sized cities.
For this material, see volume II of Bulletins Nos. 642 and 644.

in different occupational groups were studied is shown in the accom

Family type groups.—Only families of the relatively more frequent
types were included in the sample eligible for the expenditure sched
ule. For the purpose of distinguishing the expenditure patterns
of the predominant family-composition groups, the following types
were defined (see fig. 2):
C o m p o sitio n
I Husband and wife (families of two persons).
II Husband and wife, and one child under 16 years (families of
three persons).
III Husband and wife, and two children under 16 years (families
of four persons).
IV Husband, wife, one person 16 years or over, and one or no
other person regardless of age (families of three or four
persons).
V Husband, wife, one child under 16 years, one person 16 years
or over, and one or two other persons regardless of age
(families of five or six persons).
VI Husband, wife, and three or four children under 16 years
(families of five or six persons).
VII Husband, wife, one child under 16 years, and four or five
other persons regardless of age (families of seven or eight
persons).
These seven family types were studied in Chicago, in the white
sample in the three East Central city units, and in the Atlanta Negro
sample. Elsewhere, the funds available for the expenditure survey
made it necessary to restrict the coverage to families of the first five
types only.
Other eligibility requirements.—The expenditure survey was further
restricted by excluding a few families for the following reasons:
1. The family did not occupy a home in the community for at least 9 months of
the schedule year.
2. The family moved from one dwelling unit to another between the end of the
schedule year and the date of interview.
3. The family did not have access to housekeeping facilities for at least 9
months of the schedule year.
4. The family had more than the equivalent of one roomer and/or boarder
in the household for 52 weeks of the report year.
5. The family had more than the equivalent of one guest for 26 weeks.
Sampling Procedures
The collection of data on family expenditures and family living
requires more than ordinary skill and is very time-consuming. In
the interests of economy it was necessary to develop special procedures
in order that the families covered might constitute a representative
sample of the population included.
Income is the most important single factor influencing expenditure.
Since there are no directories of families by income, it was necessary

M ETHO D
OF T H E

OF

283
in the first place to secure a random cross section by income of the
families that might be included in the expenditure survey in each
community.
The percentage coverage of households for the random sample
was determined in large part by the size of the community. The
random sample for New York was equivalent to 4 percent of all
families; for Chicago, to 10 percent. For the six large cities, this
sample represented a 20 to 50 percent coverage; and in the middlesized and small cities, 50 to 100 percent of the families were interviewed
to obtain a minimum of information necessary to identify and classify
the family. This random sample (the record-card sample) in which
data were obtained from about 625,000 families, made it possible to
ascertain the distribution of the families in the whole community
by nativity, color, and family type composition. From those families
which met specified requirements as regards these three items, addi
tional information was secured relating to income, occupation, family
composition, and home tenure.
From this random sample, there was determined the number of
families eligible for the expenditure schedule on the basis of the
eligibility requirements described above. (See p. 280 for the color
groups, occupation, income groups, and family types covered in each
area.) In order to hold the number of expenditure schedules to a
minimum and at the same time to secure adequate information for
types of family that are found infrequently in the community, it was
decided to secure detailed expenditure data from an approximately
equal number of families in the eligible group, for each family type
group within each occupational class at each income interval. Fami
lies which were similar in respect to these three controls were taken
to represent an expenditure pattern unit, or “cell.” So far as prac
ticable, the goal in Chicago, the East Central cities (white sample),
and Atlanta (Negro sample) was to schedule 10 families to represent
each cell in each tabulation unit. In the case of the other city units the
goal was to schedule 6 families for every cell. In each case the
families scheduled as regards expenditures were drawn as a random
sample of the families listed as eligible for scheduling in a given
“cell.”
It can be seen from table 1 of the Tabular Summary that the num
ber of families from which data were secured was much larger in some
cases than in others; that it was much larger, for instance, at the
middle income levels than at either the top or the bottom of the
income scale. It will be seen, too, that despite the special efforts
made in the sampling process, some occupational groups and family
types are much better represented than others.

The discrepancies between the number of schedules secured and the
general goal may be attributed to several factors,5 the most important
of which was the fact that families of specified types at certain income
5 Another obstacle to an exact control of the number of expenditure schedules in each cell resulted from
shifts in the cell classification of families after the detailed interview on expenditure data. The income
class in which the family was classified on the basis of the relatively short family schedule interview did not
always correspond with the income class in which the family fell on the basis of the interview for expendi
tures. The shifts arose partly from the fact that the methods of computing income differed slightly for
the two schedules, and partly from the fact that sources of income which the family had forgotten to men
tion to the agent obtaining the family schedule data occasionally came to light in the course of the long
interview in connection with the discussion of expenditures.
Because of the extensive coverage of the family income survey, it was necessary to keep the time of the
family schedule interview as short as possible. On that account information on the expenses of an owned
home other than interest payments was not obtained from the families covered in the large random sample.
Therefore, in estimating nonmoney income from home ownership for the income report, it was necessary
to resort to a table of estimated average expenses at given rental values. During the expenditure inter
view, however, figures were obtained on expenses such as taxes, repairs, special assessments, and insurance
and thus a revised figure on the nonmoney income from owned home was computed by subtracting the
a c tu a l rather than the estim a ted expenses.
Similarly, for families having boarders the income figure on the family schedule included the estim a ted
net income from boarders after deductions had been made for the cost of food; these deductions varied
with the amount of the payment for board and were estimated on the basis of data secured in the Bureau
of Labor Statistics study of the money disbursements of wage earners and clerical workers. At the time
of the expenditure schedule interview, detailed information was obtained on the food expenditures of the
family, from which it was possible to compute more accurately the money expense for boarders’ food, and
thus to gage more correctly the net income from boarders.
No attempt was made at the time of the family schedule interview to determine nonmoney income from
an owned vacation home. This figure was obtained, however, from information secured during the expend
iture interview, and is included in the income figure by which families in the controlled sample were
classified.
Furthermore, rent received as a gift is not included in the income figure of the family schedule but it
was taken into account in deriving the income code of families giving expenditure data.
Changes in the family type classification also resulted from the longer interview—chiefly because of
differences in the definition of the economic family. Whereas all related persons living under the same
roof, or eating at least two meals daily with the family whose in co m e could be ascertained were included in
coding the family type for purposes of the family schedule tabulation, only persons dependent on a common
family fund whose e x p en d itu re s could also be ascertained were regarded as members of the economic family
in the controlled sample. The discrepancies in the codes resulting from these differences, however, were
negligible; for example, less than 1 percent of all Chicago families from which expenditure data were secured
were classified in a different family type by the two procedures.
The shifts in occupational code resulting from the longer interview also were relatively infrequent.
Aside from the effect of discrepancies arising from different definitions of the economic family, the longer
interview brought to light additional facts concerning the net earnings of various family members. Detailed
information on automobile expenditure, for example, occasionally revealed a different, and more accurate,
figure for occupational expenses than that which had been deducted when reporting the net earnings of
family members in the family schedule interview.
In the process of obtaining the last schedule needed to complete a cell according to the basic plan, it some
times happened that two or more field agents secured complete schedules where only one had been required.
Since these schedules added to the reliability of the averages for the given cells, it was decided to make use
of all the completed schedules which fell within the income, occupation, and family type limits set for the
investigation.
The shifts in cells had another effect which, though not numerically very important, made some diffi
culty in preparing the basic tabulations; namely, expenditure schedules appeared in cells for which no
weights were available since no eligible cases had been classified in these cells in the tabulation of the ran
dom sample. It was decided to give cells in which no random sample schedules were secured, but in which
expenditure schedules appeared, a weight equivalent to the number of expenditure schedules appearing
in the tabulations.
These arbitrary weights would tend to make the number of families in the city appear greater than was
actually found but counterbalancing these added weights was the fact that a number of cells which con
tained eligible cases in the random sample had no expenditure schedules, and thus were not utilized.
The above discussion of changes in cell code has been presented primarily to give the reader some insight
into the type of problems involved in obtaining equal numbers of cases in each cell in the controlled sample.
Since the final code for the family type, income, and occupational group was prepared during the final office
edit of an expenditure schedule, it was inevitable that changes would tend to increase the number of sched
ules in some cells and decrease others.

levels were not sufficiently numerous to yield the desired number
of schedules. Furthermore, not all families from which expendi
ture data were desired contributed the information. Some had
moved out of the city, others could not be found at home, while
still others were unable or unwilling to give the detailed information
requested. Of the schedules which were secured, a number had to be
discarded because of inconsistency, incompleteness, or unreliability
of data shown.
For some of the cells the random sample did not furnish a sufficient
number of cases to permit computation of reliable averages for the
expenditure patterns of the families. For example, in a 10-percent
sample of Chicago families there were only four salaried professional
families with incomes of $1,750 to $2,000 and with three or four chil
dren under 16. In this case and others like it an effort was made to
locate more families of the type required in the cell by a process of
stratified sampling, as for example by canvassing lists of doctors,
lawyers, and like professional people. Even with the use of the
stratified sample, however, some of the cells did not have the desired
minimum of families, and therefore had to be combined with contig
uous cells to give a somewhat broader classification for analysis than
had originally been contemplated.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5-3 6
The number of families of the types, income, and occupational
groups covered by the investigation are given in table 1 of the Tabular
Summary.6
Method of Securing Averages
Combinations oj cities.—As noted above, the cities included in this
study were selected to represent the various geographic sections, and
size of city groups in the country. Data are presented for the two
metropolitan and six large cities separately. The two or three
middle-sized cities in each geographic area 7 were combined as a unit.
There were two main reasons for combining the data for the middlesized cities, and for the small cities, in each region. In the first place,
the number of schedules secured in each of these communities was
necessarily smaller than in the case of the metropolitan centers and the
large cities. These small numbers made some combinations necessary
in order to secure reliable averages, particularly since it was desired
to analyze part of the data by occupational group or by family type as
well as by income level. In the second place, the middle-sized cities
and the small cities were selected as representative of the different
community types predominating in the regions in which they were
located. Significant figures on expenditures by families of given in
come, family type, and occupation could best be secured for com
munities with population under 70,000 persons by combining into
one set of figures the data secured for all cities of a given size in each
area.
With the tabulation of the data as outlined above, it is possible to
make analysis of regional differences in the data secured, as well as of
differences growing out of varying degrees of urbanization.
Combinations oj occupations and family types.—The number of occu
pational groups differentiated in the tabulation of the data varied with
the number of families in given groups. Data for the six major occu
pational groups (wage-earner, clerical, independent business, inde
pendent professional, salaried business, and salaried professional)
were tabulated separately for the white sample in the metropolitan
centers. Five occupational groups were differentiated among white
families for the large cities, with families in the two self-employed
groups pooled; four groups were tabulated for white families in the
middle-sized cities by further pooling the two salaried groups; only
three groups were differentiated for the small cities, with all business
and professional families considered as a unit. In the case of Negro
families, families in the two independent groups and in the two salaried
6 In order to make possible comparisons between city and regional groups, the figures on the number of
eligible families presented in table 1 are given in terms of the to ta l number of eligible families in each city or
regional group; that is, in terms of a 100-percent coverage even for the cities where the sample was less than
100 percent.
7 The geographic sections used are Northeast (i. e., New England and New York City), East Central,
Southeast, West Central, Rocky Mountain, and Pacific Northwest.

287
groups, respectively, were pooled for Atlanta; families in the four busi
ness and professional groups were pooled for New York and Columbus;
and only two groups, wage-earner and all other, were differentiated
for the Southeastern middle-sized cities.
As noted above, expenditure schedules were obtained from families
of seven types in Chicago, the East Central city units (white sample),
and Negro families in Atlanta. For these units the sample was se
lected to be large enough to present data for seven family types sepa
rately. In other regions where only five family types were covered
and the sample was smaller, averages are presented for only three
type groups: Type I, types II and III combined, and types IV and
V combined.
The weighting process.—Since the design of the study called for an
equal number of cases in each income-family-type-occupation group,
it was necessary to weight the data for each “cell” by its frequency in
the total population represented by the survey. That is, in order to
secure averages which adequately represent the whole group of families
at a given income level, the simple averages for families of a given type
within each occupational group were multiplied by the number of
eligible families in the given cell. The sum of these products at any
income level was then divided by the total number of eligible families
at that level, to secure the desired averages.
The figures showing percentages of families at successive income
levels reporting expenditures for the various items were derived from
the simple percentages in each cell. These were then multiplied by
the number of eligible families in the given cell; and the resulting
products after being totaled for each income class, were divided by the
total number of eligible families at the given level. Similar proce
dures were followed when computing percentages and average expendi
tures for specified family type groups at each income level. That is,
the products described above for each cell were totaled by family
type-income groups, and were then divided by the corresponding
total number of eligible families.
Except where specifically stated to the contrary, the averages are
based on all families in any given group without regard to the pro
portion reporting expenditures on the specific item concerned. Aver
age expenditures at a given income level for those families which
reported an expenditure may be computed by dividing the averages
based on all families by the corresponding percentage of families
reporting an expenditure for the given item.
Averages are presented whenever three or more families furnished
an expenditure schedule, although perhaps only one or two families
reported an expenditure for the specific item shown. If, for instance,
only two families were covered in a given family type-income group
in some city or group of cities for which averages are shown, no average
288
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
is shown for that family type-income group. (The figures for such
families are included in any over-all averages.) If, however, five
families were scheduled, but only two of them reported expenditure
for oculist, for example, during the schedule year, data are shown for
the average expenditure for oculist.
To secure an estimate of the expenditure among the eligible families
in any tabulation unit for any specified item of expenditure over a
wider income range than that presented in these tables, the average
amounts, based on all families scheduled at each income level, may
be multiplied by the number of eligible families shown at the corre
sponding income level (table 1 of the Tabular Summary). The sum
of these products will furnish an estimate of aggregate amounts; and
division of this aggregate by the total number of eligible families in
the income classes combined will give an estimate of the average
amount per family over the new range.
It must be emphasized, however, that these data refer only to the
eligible families, that is, the native white or Negro nonrelief families
containing both husband and wife, and meeting the other eligibility
requirements outlined in the sampling section above and within the
income ranges shown on page 281. No data were secured concerning
the disbursements of families other than those which met the eligi
bility requirements set up for the investigation.
Appendix B
Classifications and Definitions of Terms— Glossary
The following glossary of terms is limited to those classifications
and definitions needing general explanation for the tabular material
on the detail of expenditures. Specific notes pertaining to individual
items appear in appendix C of this volume “Explanation of tables.”
Items appearing on the expenditure schedule which are not discussed
in the present volume are omitted from the glossary.
Any system of classifying goods and services necessarily has certain
limitations and may not meet the needs of all groups or agencies
which utilize the data. The classification adopted for the Study of
Consumer Purchases is in substance one that has been found useful
in other studies and which thus has the advantage of yielding compa
rable data. Since the uses to which specific goods may be put by
consumers vary considerably from family to family and even within
the family circle, depending upon the multiplicity of factors, the deci
sions to classify commodities in one category rather than another were
necessarily arbitrary. The classifications determined upon have,
however, been applied consistently throughout the tabulations.
Specific definitions of terms should be prefaced by the explanation
that, whenever a sales tax was enforced in a particular community
during the period covered by the study, the estimated total amount of
sales tax paid for each taxable item appearing on the schedule was
added to the total expense for the item.
Family.—For purposes of the Study of Consumer Purchases, an
economic family was defined as a group of persons belonging to the
same household and dependent upon a common income.1 Expenditure
data were secured only from families including both a husband and a
wife.
Family type.—Families were classified, according to the number
and age of members, in one of seven types, as follows:2

and 649.

Com position
I Husband and wife (families of two persons).
II Husband and wife, and one child under 16 years (families of
three persons).
III Husband and wife, and two children under 16 years (families
of four persons).
IV Husband, wife, and person 16 years or over, and one or no
other person regardless of age (families of three or four per
sons) .
V Husband, wife, one child under 16 years, one person 16
years or over, and one or two other persons regardless of
age (families of five or six persons).
VI Husband, wife, and three or four children under 16 years
(families of five or six persons).
VII Husband, wife, one child under 16 years, and four or five
other persons regardless of age (families of seven or eight
persons).
The above family types are based upon the equivalent number of
persons under 16 years of age and the equivalent number 16 years or
over in the economic family during the year. By the use of a conver
sion table the number of weeks of membership of persons in the
economic family for only a portion of the schedule year is expressed in
terms of equivalent members. If the economic family contained, in
addition to the married couple, only one person who was a member for
26 weeks or less, he was not regarded as an equivalent member; had he
been in the family for 27 weeks he would have been classified as one
equivalent member. If two persons, both of whom were under 16
years, were members of the economic family for a total of from 27
weeks through 78 weeks, together they counted as one equivalent
member; had there been members for a total of from 79 through 130
weeks, they would have been counted as two equivalent members.
The same method of computation applied to persons 16 and over. If,
however, the family contained one person 16 years of age or over and
one child under 16 years, each for less than 27 weeks, neither would be
counted as a member of the economic family, although the period of
membership for the two together equalled more than 26 weeks.
Occupational group.—Families were also classified in one of seven
occupational groups: wage-earner, clerical, independent business,
independent professional, salaried business, salaried professional,
and families with no gainfully employed members.3 In general, the
wage-earner classification included all types of skilled, semiskilled, and
unskilled manual jobs which are usually paid by the hour, day, or week,
rather than on monthly or annual salary basis. In the clerical classi3
The occupational categories are based upon the Works Progress Administration’ s Manual of Work
Division Procedure, sec. 2, Occupationa Classification (June 1935); and Index of Occupations, Circ. No. 2A

fication were grouped store clerks and salesmen working for others, as
well as office workers. Professional, semiprofessional, and technical
workers were included in the independent professional group when
employed on their own account, and in the salaried professional group
when they were employed by others on a salary basis. Persons classi
fied in the independent business group were entrepreneurs owning and
operating businesses of any type. Also classified in the independent
business category were families which derived the major portion of
their earned income from roomers and boarders. The salaried busi
ness category consisted mainly of salaried managers and officials;
chief officers of corporations who drew salaries, as well as minor execu
tives, were thus classified in the salaried business groups, even though
some owned controlling interest in the business. The seventh cate
gory consisted of families that had no earnings from an occupation.4
The occupational classification of a family was determined by the
occupational group from which it derived the major portion of its
earnings during the report year, whether that portion was contributed
by one or more family members.5
Income.—The total income by which the family was classified
included money income (derived from earnings and other sources
such as interest, dividends, pensions, etc.), and in addition, nonmoney
income from housing (for owners, the difference between rental value
of the home and current expense or interest, repairs, taxes, and
the like; for renters, the value of rent received as a gift or pay).
To arrive at the figure for earnings from gainful occupations of
family members (wages, salaries, profits, and other withdrawals from
business for family use, tips, commissions, and bonuses), occupational
expenses were deducted. Similarly, the figures for earned income not
attributable to individual members (i. e., income from family enter
prises such as the keeping of roomers and boarders, or casual work in
the home) represented net rather than gross income from such
sources. Items classified as nonearned money income were: Interest
and dividends; net rents from property; pensions, annuities, and bene
fits; gifts in cash, etc.6
Adjusted family income, presented in table 2 of the Tabular Sum
mary, consists of total income plus the value of food and fuel obtained
without money expense.
Expenditures.—Money expenditures include all money expenses
incurred during the report year for current family living, whether or
4 The expenditures of families with no gainfully employed members were excluded from the tabulations
shown in this volume. A special study of the expenditures of these families was made for Chicago, for
Columbus white families, and for families in the East Central middle-sized cities. For this material, see

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

butions to the Comm unity Chest. For these items only the amounts paid during the year were classed
as expenditures.

293
higher income class ($250 intervals) than they would have been classi
fied on the basis of money incomes alone.
Surplus or deficit.—The difference between the family’s total
money income for the year and its total money expenditure was, if
a positive sum, a surplus, or, if a negative sum, a deficit. This sur
plus or deficit was accounted for by one or more of a series of changes
in assets and liabilities, described below.
Receipts.—The term receipts has been used to designate current
money income plus funds made available through liquidation of
assets or through credit.
Disbursements.—The term disbursements has been used to desig
nate money expenditures for current family living plus money used
to decrease debts incurred before the beginning of the report year or
to increase assets.
Balancing difference.—Due to the difficulty experienced by families,
few of which kept detailed records, in accounting in toto for receipts
and disbursements, a margin of tolerance was set up for discrepancies
between the two. If the difference amounted to less than 5.5 percent
of receipts or disbursements, whichever was larger, the schedule was
tabulated, this amount being carried as a balancing difference. If
the discrepancy was 5.5 or larger, the schedule was discarded. In
cases where disbursements exceeded receipts, as accounted for by
the family, the balancing difference was negative; if receipts exceeded
disbursements, the difference was positive.
Appendix C
Explanation of Tables in Tabular Summary
Table 1. Number of Families
Table 1 presents the number of families eligible for the expenditure
study and the number reporting on expenditures. The data are
shown by income groups, by family type and income groups, and by
occupational and income groups for each of the tabulation units
(16 for white families and 4 for Negro families) into which the cities
were combined.
The “Number of eligible families” as shown in section A was used
as the weights when combining the data for the various family types
and occupational groups within each income class.1 Although the
size of sample varied in the different communities, the figures in
section A are stated in terms of a 100-percent coverage.2 It is neces
sary to express the weights on a comparable basis so that combina
tions of the data may be made by geographic areas or by income
groups, if desired.
Section B indicates the number of families reporting on expenditures.
As stated in appendix A those families having no gainfully em
ployed members have not been included in the figures in this section
nor in the remainder of the tables in the volume.
Table 2. Adjusted Income and Expenditure
Adjusted income and expenditure are shown in table 2 in the same
detail as the data on number of families in table 1. Adjusted income,
section A, represents money income, nonmoney income from housing,
plus the value of food and fuel received without money expenditure.3
The expenditure figures in section B represent money expenditures
plus the value of housing, food, and fuel received without money
expenditure; that is, these three items have been considered as part
of the value of current family living, the total current expenditure
of the family for the year. Data on the value of clothing, and other
1 See the discussion on sampling and on weighting in appendix A.
2 The data for New York City are stated in terms of a 100-percent coverage of families in census tracts in
which more than one-third of all the families were native born; these tracts include approximately 82 per
cent of native families in the city.
3 Families were classified into income groups according to the amount of their m oney income plus non
money income from housing. The amount of income received b y most city families in terms of food and
fuel is very small, and no information on income of this type was secured on the income (family) schedule
used with the large random sample.

items, received without direct money expenditure were not obtained
from all families and hence it was impossible to include them in
either the income or expenditure figures.
Table 3. Medical Care
Table 3, Medical care, presents data pertaining to expenditures for
medical care by each of 20 urban groups. The percentage of families
reporting an expenditure for specified types of medical service and
supplies and the percentage reporting any free medical care are shown
in section A; the average expenditures for all medical care and
for specified types of service and supplies are given in section B. The
material is shown for families of all types and occupational groups
combined at successive income levels, and also for family type groups
by income. The averages computed for each income class, and for each
family type, within each income class, viere based on the total number of
families in that group, without regard to the proportion offamilies report
ing an expenditure for a particular item.
The total expenses incurred for medical care during the report year
were included in this section of the schedule. If there was an unpaid
balance at the end of the report year larger than the unpaid balance
at the beginning of that year, the amount was considered as an increase
in liabilities and entered under “Other bills due.” Amounts paid on
bills for medical care incurred prior to the beginning of the schedule
year were not considered current expense, but were entered as a de
crease in liabilities, under “Other bills due.” Amounts which the
family paid or incurred for the medical care of relatives who were not
members of the economic family were classified as expenditures for
gifts rather than for medical care. Because of the difficulties of mak
ing such an estimate, no attempt was made to place a money value on
the free medical care received.
It will be noted that in some cases the average amounts vary widely
and more or less erratically from one income level to another. Since
there are wide differences between the consumption patterns of
families, even of families of the same type, occupation, and income,
a very large number of cases would be required in order to provide
stable averages. This is particularly true in regard to expenditures
for medical care. Their variability is so high as to suggest that most
families’ expenditures for medical services are made in emergencies
and that a small proportion of such expenses represents preventive
health measures.
Items in table 3 which require explanation are defined below:
Physician.—If the family found it impossible to allocate fees for
physician (general practitioner) between home and office visits, the
total expense for this item was divided equally between the two cate
gories.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES IN TABULAR SUMMARY
297
Oculist.—Expense for optometrists’ examinations was not included
here but was entered under “Eyeglasses.”
Other specialists.—Expense for specialists such as surgeons, obste
tricians, psychiatrists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and faith healers was
included here.
Clinic visits.—Costs for visits to clinics were entered here. If the
family was unable to separate fees for examinations and tests, medi
cines, and supplies in connection with clinic visits, such costs were
included under this item.
Hospital.—In addition to expense for hospital room or bed, the fees
for physician, examinations and tests, operating room, and medicine
and supplies are included here in cases where the family found it im
possible to separate the various items.
Examinations and tests.—Expense for examinations and tests, which
was not included elsewhere, was entered here.
Medicines and drugs.—Cod-liver and haliver oils were classified as
food and not as medicines and drugs.
Eyeglasses.—If the eye examination was given by the same person
from whom the glasses were purchased, the cost of the examination
was included here.
Medical appliances and supplies.—This item includes bandages,
adhesive tape, and thermometers, as well as crutches, hot-water bottles,
braces, wheel chairs, and the like.
Health and accident insurance.—The portion of insurance premiums
allocable to accident or health insurance, as well as the portions of
dues to fraternal organizations and unions so chargeable, were included
under this item. If an employer deducted from earnings for accident
or health insurance, such amounts were entered here and were also
added to earnings. (See discussion under free medical care for benefits
received from health and accident insurance.)
Other medical care.—Other medical care includes fees for anaesthe
tist, operating room, therapeutic massage, sun-lamp treatments, and
health or infirmary fees paid for a member of the economic family at
tending school or college.
Free medical care.—Free medical care includes care furnished by a
free clinic, an employer, a friend, or through professional courtesy.
No estimate was made of the value of care supplied directly by an in
surance company or an employer under the terms of an insurance or
benefit plan, nor was such care considered as free. When a cash in
demnity was received under the terms of an insurance or benefit plan,
the amount was added to current money income and any expense
incurred for medical care was entered under the appropriate item of
medical care.

Appendix E
Analysis o f Variance 1
Part I. The Method
The prob lem .— For any major category of family expenditure, such
as housing, average expenditures were available for each of the large
number of cells formed by the progressive subclassification of the
family expenditures within each city according to income class,
occupation, and family type. These classifications constituted the
major controls.
Since there were 16 cities or city groups, the first problem was one
of reducing these data to some simple meaningful form.
The second problem was one of testing how valid each of these
factors or controls of city size, region, income class, occupation, and
family type really was in accounting for the variation in the average
expenditures for a given category of expenditure.
Basic to the whole problem of analysis and interpretation is the
question of the comparability of one group of cells with another.
This is illustrated by two cities one of which may have quite different
occupational and family type composition from the other.
A n a ly sis o f varian ce .— One method which offers a possible solution
to these problems is that of analysis of variance. Whether or not
one applies this method to these expenditure data will depend upon
whether he thinks the data meet certain specifications upon which
the method is based.
The normal distribution of the variates is assumed, but family
expenditures generally are not so distributed but have a distribution
often flat-topped and generally skewed. Analyses, however, were
made on the mean expenditures which tend to be distributed normally
even if drawn from a nonnormal distribution.
The condition of equal variances in the several classes was not
completely met since variances of expenditures for certain categories
for each income class indicated some change in the variance as income
class changed, although the change was not progressive.
No problem of correlated components arose since the average
expenditures came from independent groups of families. The prob
lem would have arisen, however, if percentages had been used, since
the mean and variance of a set of percentages are correlated.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
Although the sampling method as planned called for the same
number of families in a specified range of income, occupation, and
family type cells within a city, this goal was not reached. Since
interaction existed between expenditures based on the major controls,
the question of proportional subclass frequencies arose.
So long as the analysis is limited to a single classification, involving
only the variance within classes and that between classes, no question
of applicability of the method would arise. Neither would any
serious question arise if interest were limited to the variance due to
the major classes or controls. But the problem of interaction between
classes existed, and in order to apply analysis of variance in this
situation comparability of cells as well as proportional class fre
quencies must exist.
The problems involved in applying this method of analysis to the
expenditure data collected in the Study of Consumer Purchases are
discussed in Bulletin No. 648, vol. VII, appendix G. The reader
interested in the theoretical background of the analysis is referred to
that bulletin.
Part II. Application of Analysis of Variance to Total Medical
Expenditures
The da ta . —The data used in the analysis of total medical expendi
tures were the average expenditure and the proportional frequencies
for each income, family type, and occupational cell. The data were
classified into 4 occupational, 3 family type, and 5 income classes,
and 12 city groups, giving 4X3X5X12 or 720 cells each with its
mean and proportional frequency. The occupational groups were
salaried business and professional, independent business and profes
sional, clerical, and wage earner. The 3 family types were I, II
and III combined, IV and V combined. There were 6 large cities
and 6 middle-sized city groups. In computing the average expendi
tures, fa m ilies w ith zero expen ditu res were in clu ded.
P ro p o rtio n a l freq u en cies. —Analysis of variance is applicable only
in case the variance subclass frequencies are proportional.2 Although
an attempt was made to get the same number of families in a cell,
for various reasons this goal was only approximated. Hence it was
necessary in making an analysis of variance to adjust the frequencies
so they would be proportional. How the actual and the adjusted
frequencies compare is illustrated by the following 15 cells from
Providence salaried business and professional families.
2 For specific methods to use in case subclass frequencies are disproportionate see George W. Snedecor
and Gertrude M. Cox, Disproportionate Subclass Numbers in Tables of Multiple Classification, Research
Bulletin 180, Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, 1935.

As a basis for computing these proportional frequencies, the following
fixed tables were used: The grand total of families in the 720 cells, the
three family type totals, the four occupation totals, the five income
class totals, and the six region totals. Each of these last four totals
adds to the grand total.
In the example given, the proportional total, 168.21, is computed
as follows:
1 . The total number of families in the 720 cells is 8 ,8 6 6 .
2 . The total number of families in the large cities is 4,754.
Prov
idence is one of these cities.
3. The total number of families in the New England area is 1,180.
4. Therefore, the proportional total for the large city in New
4 7^4
England (Providence) will be 1,180X0*0^ = 632.72.
8,8t)0
5. The total number of salaried business and professional families
is 2,357.
6 . Therefore, the proportional total of salaried business and profes4 7^4
sional families for the large cities will be 2,357 X^ y^ = 1>263.84.
8,800
7. Consequently the proportional total of salaried business and
professional families in Providence will be 632.72X 1 4 7 5 484 =168.21.

The ratio —263 84 gives the fraction of families in the large cities
that was salaried business and professional. Applying this to the
Providence total gives us the answer. Three possible solutions of
the problem of disproportionate frequencies are possible. One is to
give every mean unit weight and ignore the number of cases on which
each is based. A second method is that of using the actual cell
frequencies, families filling out schedules, from which the cell aver
ages were computed, and adjusting these so that they will be pro
portional. Since the present study involved double sampling, the
sample from which these families were drawn was also known; this
was the eligible sample and these frequencies were also known for each
cell. In the present analysis these were the frequencies used and

adjusted for disproportionality in precisely the same manner as that
described in the preceding paragraphs.
Summary oj the analysis.—In table 1 we give the results of the analy
sis of variance applied to the proportional frequencies and the cell
means of six large cities and six middle-sized cities, each of the six
cities in each size group representing a particular region. The major
controls are region, city size, income class, occupation, and family
type.
The results of the test using the mean square of the highest order
interaction as a basis of comparison show that income, region, and
occupation are significant controls in explaining variations in total
medical expense. City size and family type, according to this test,
do not account for any more variance than some arbitrary classi
fication would.
The mean square of the highest order (fifth) interaction—96,922—
is used as the basis of testing the various controls and interactions.
This is done even though the variances of the other interactions
appear to be significantly different from that of the highest one.
Confidence in using this mean square is supported by the fact that
the mean square of medical expenditures within cells for Denver
families alone was 101,600 for 670 degrees of freedom.
So far as the present analysis is concerned, the main interest lies
in the five major classes of controls, into which the expenditure
averages were subdivided.
The findings here relative to the influence of family type are in
harmony with those obtained by using the Friedman method of mean
ranks applied to average expenditures by family type and income
within cities.

Communities Included by the Bureau o f Home Eco
nomics in the Study of Consumer Purchases
A parallel study was conducted by the Bureau of Home Economics
of the United States Department of Agriculture which, together with
the study made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, constitutes the Study
of Consumer Purchases. The communities in which the families were
visited by the agents of the Bureau of Home Economics and the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, respectively, are listed in Bulletin 649, vol.
I, page 297. For consistency in analysis of expenditure data, sched
ules for all small cities in the regions mentioned hereafter were anal
yzed by one or the other Bureau, irrespective of which Bureau had
gathered the data. The Bureau of Home Economics analyzed all ex
penditure data for small cities in the Southeast and the West CentralRocky Mountain Region. Likewise, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
analyzed all data for small cities in New England.

Cities Included by Bureau of Labor Statistics in the
Study of M oney Disbursements of Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers
As investigation of the income and money disbursements of families
of wage earners and clerical workers was undertaken by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics in the fall of 1934 for the purpose of revising the
cost of living index published currently by the Bureau. The data
from that investigation cover 1 year within the period 1934-36 and
include details on income, family composition, expenditures for prin
cipal categories, and for detailed items of consumption for a total sam
ple of 14,669 families of employed wage earners and lower salaried
clerical workers in 42 cities, all with population over 50,000. Data
on quantities of food, clothing, and furnishings and equipment pur
chased; on types of medical care received; and on changes in assets
and liabilities are also included. A summary of these findings is
presented in United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin
No. 638.
