PREFACE
The major purpose of the Study of Consumer Purchases was to
find how family expenditures for the various categories of the family
budget vary with income class, occupation, and family composition
in selected cities of different size in each of the several regions of the
United States.
The material presented in this volume was secured from a survey
conducted in 1936 by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in
cities varying in size and representing different parts of the country.
This survey was paralleled by a study of small city, village, and farm
families conducted by the Bureau of Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture. Together they constitute the
Study of Consumer Purchases and were administered under a grant
of funds from the Works Progress Administration. The National
Resources Committee and the Central Statistical Board both coop
erated in the Nation-wide survey. Technical plans for the study
were developed and the administration of the survey was coordinated
by a technical committee which consisted of Hildegarde Kneeland,
National Resources Committee, chairman; Faith Williams, Bureau of
Labor Statistics; Day Monroe, Bureau of Home Economics; Milton
Forster, Works Progress Administration; and Samuel J. Dennis,
Central Statistical Board.
The six minor categories of family expenditure described in this
report represent as a whole a fairly large proportion of total expendi
ture especially at the higher income classes. The expenditure patterns
of these categories as income increases are quite different, reading
and tobacco showing the smallest amounts of increase with income,
and education, contributions, and personal taxes showing the greatest
increases in expenditure with increase in income. Not only do these
categories have different expenditure patterns, but also the specific
items within each category.
The emphasis in the present analysis is on differences between the
expenditure patterns of families in cities of the same size in different
regions of the United States, and in cities of different sizes in the same
region. Consideration is also given to the differences between the
expenditures of Negro families in southern cities and in northern cities,
and between white and Negro families in the same cities.
In view of the fact that a number of persons outside the Bureau’s
regular staff took part in the investigation, the Bureau of Labor

Introduction
The urban family’s need for diversion.—It has been customary to
think of things bought as either necessities or luxuries. Food,
clothing, and shelter have usually been classed as necessities and all
other items as luxuries; but under conditions of living in modern
cities this distinction has become blurred, if not meaningless. To
many American families a radio set, the current movie, a package of
cigarettes, some play equipment, and the daily newspaper seem as
much a family need as food to eat, clothing to wear, or rooms to live in.
Improvement in the techniques of production and reduction of the
working day and the working week have multiplied the chances for
leisure-time consumption. At the same time, the impersonal relations
of city life, restricted living space, and intensive division of labor
have made new interests and diversions imperative for the main
tenance of physical and mental health.
Some of our leisure-time consumption is in the form of food, clothing,
and housing—more eating out, sport clothes, and trailers or cabins.
Most of it, however, is in terms of things less expensive, and often
more time-consuming, such as movies, reading, smoking, listening to
the radio, automobiling, participating in games, and engaging in
hobbies.
But these things have a price that puts the poor families who lack
adequate resources for food, dwelling, medical care, and necessary
transportation in a difficult situation. Even at the lower incomes,
where the available money is not sufficient to meet the physical needs
of the family, a certain amount of spending for recreation becomes
necessary. Especially in crowded large cities, these families need
diversion most, yet they are the least able to pay.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 - 3 6
The study of adjustments of expenditure for leisure time consump
tion to other budgetary needs at different levels and in different situa
tions reveals the interaction of basic human needs with the cultural
patterns and physical conditions of contemporary American society.
Beneath the statistical summaries and figures of this report there is
hidden a vast drama of human aspirations and difficult choices.
The urban fam ily’s obligations to others.—A family has not only its
interests to protect but it has responsibility for the support of agencies
which serve the common good, and many families have the added
burden of relatives or intimate friends in dire need.
Nothing is more striking in our data from American families than
the generous outpouring of money for private welfare and relief.1
This is characteristic even of families who themselves have only
meager incomes on which to live. Statistics have been available as
regards organized private charity. The present study indicates that
the bulk of such giving is done not through organizations but is the gift
of one person to another.
Scope of this volume.—In addition to discussing three types of diver
sions—recreation, reading, and tobacco—we shall discuss what the
family spends directly for education and what it contributes to indi
viduals outside the immediate family and to various agencies. These
agencies include the church, the community chest, and specific com
munity welfare organizations. They include also the various govern
ments to which the family pays poll taxes, income taxes, and taxes on
personal property.
The expenditure data used are those obtained from native-born
American families in 32 different cities2 during the 12 months in
1935-36 for which expenditures were reported.3 Data for Negro
families in 3 southern cities and 2 northern cities will be included
in the discussion.4
In this discussion emphasis will be upon how families in different
cities in different parts of the nation differed in what they spent for
each of the following items: recreation, reading, tobacco, education,
contributions, personal taxes. The ways in which family buying
was affected by differences in income, city size, and region will form
the major part of the discussion.
The meaning of terms.—In the present investigation items of ex
pense were classified according to source, not according to purpose.
1 The data on which this conclusion is based will be discussed more in detail in ch. 6.
2 See appendix p. 339 for names of these cities.
3 These data were part of those collected in the Urban Series of the Study of Consumer Purchases, a
project of the Works Progress Administration carried out jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the
Bureau of Home Economics with the cooperation of the National Resources Committee and the Central
Statistical Board. The tabular summary covering in detail the data used in this volume is printed in
part II.
4 Negro families are discussed only in those sections which are so designated. Hence in all other sections
the discussion refers to white families only.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1935-36
Hence such items as Boy Scout uniforms and fancy-dress costumes
are included under clothing, not under recreation. Expenses incurred
on vacation trips and excursions are classified for the most part under
expenditures for food, housing, and transportation. Hence expendi
tures made for the purpose of family recreation are underestimated
when the amounts classified under this heading are taken by them
selves.
Reading expense does not include outlays for books or journals
purchased either for occupational or for school use. Expenditures for
vocational literature were subtracted from income, and those for
school books were included with education expense, which covers
amounts spent directly by individual families for supplies or services
for this purpose.
Contributions include gifts to persons and donations to relatives
outside the economic family as well as donations to community wel
fare agencies. Community was interpreted broadly to include, for
example, donations to the Red Cross for flood relief in any part of the
country.
Personal taxes include poll taxes, income taxes, and personalproperty taxes. It represents a negligible part of the tax burden
resting on low-income families, since sales taxes are included in the
cost of the item taxed, real estate taxes are allocated to housing costs,
and automobile taxes to automobile expense.6
The interpretation of expenditures by income class.—A caution needs
to be observed in interpreting expenditure data by income class, a
caution which applies alike to all tables and graphs based on income
classes. The income scale ranges from values as low as $250 to those
of $10,000 and over. The number of families in the population are,
however, very unevenly distributed over this income range, the
lower half of them being restricted to a narrow range of income. In
general, half of these native white nonrelief families containing both
husband and wife, had incomes of less than $2,000; and in many
cities half had less than $1,500.6
The description of expenditures throughout the range of incomes
treated, which is designed to show the whole gamut of consumption
patterns, gives a false sense of the relative importance of different
expenditure categories in the economy of the entire community unless
the concentration of incomes in the lower part of the range is kept in
mind.7
Averages are reported separately for particular items in specific
income classes in particular cities or groups of cities. In many cases,
• A more detailed glossary of terms is given in appendix B, p. 348.
®A table showing the percentage distribution by income class of the nonrelief native white families from
which the expenditure sample was taken is given in appendix A, p. 340.
7 At the low-income classes such as that of $500-$749 most of the nonrelief families spend more than their
income.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND PERSONAL TAXES
7
especially at the extremes of the income range, these specific averages
show the influence of chance variations. They must, therefore, be
observed in relation to other items in the series, as the use of individual
averages apart from their context might lead to false inferences.
Another point to bear in mind is that the average expenditures for
an item as used in this volume, unless otherwise stated, refer to
averages based on all families in the expenditure sample irrespective of
whether a family reported an expenditure for the item or not. (See
p. 347.)
The importance of these items as a group.—Typical spending for these
five categories combined (personal taxes included), is shown in tables
1 and 2 in which expenditures by families in Chicago are compared with
those in a “middle-town group” (Muncie, Ind., New Castle, Pa., and
Springfield, 111., combined) and with a small-city group, in the same
general region (Beaver Falls and Connellsville, Pa., Logansport and
Peru, Ind., and Mattoon, 111.). Even at the very lowest incomes
reported, $500-$749, we find families averaging about $50 per year on
these items, or about one out of every fifteen dollars spent by the
family.8
Taking the middle-town group as representative of typical spending,
and the income class $1,250-$ 1,499 as the one where the most urban
American families are found, we find that about one out of every ten
dollars spent for current living is for this group of items, the average
being about $125. This is quite close to what the average family at
this income spends for clothing alone.
At a very high income level, say above $10,000, these items form a
very important part of the outlays of the family. Here one out of
every five dollars is spent for these categories alone, with an average
expenditure of $2,300 per family at this income level in Chicago.
These same families spent $1,780 for food and $1,290 for clothing.
This means that the group of items which we are considering cost
more than either food or clothing at this high income.
The most striking point about these tables, however, is the inverse
relation which exists at every comparable income class between total
expense for these items and size of city. Chicago, the largest city
of the group, has the lowest average expenditures for these items as
well as the lowest percentages of the total family expense (table 2).
The small cities on the contrary have the largest average expenditures
as well as the largest percentages of the total family expense. Families
in the middle-sized cities, the middle-town group, with the exception
of one income class, fall between the expenditures and the percentages
of the other two groups of families.
8 In general more than half the nonrelief families in this income class reported deficits in their family
budgets, that is, an important part of their current spending was financed by drawing on assets accumulated
in previous years, or by borrowing in one form or another.

Income class by income class up to $5,000, the families in the two
groups of smaller cities spent more on recreation and community
services than did families in Chicago. Tracing it back further we
shall find that donations to community chest are relatively much
higher in the smaller cities than in Chicago. In eight of the twelve
income classes the families in the middle-sized cities exceed Chicago
CONTRIBUTIONS AND PERSONAL TAXES

families in gift and donations to relatives and other persons. More
will be said about intercity differences when we discuss the particular
items of expenditure.
The importance of each category in the group.—Each of the six
categories—recreation, reading, tobacco, education, and contribu
tions—is not equally important in the expenditures at every income
level. Family expenses from any of the cities will indicate the truth
of this statement; hence we illustrate this by data from the middletown group (Muncie-New Castle-Springfield,) as shown in figure 2.
At incomes below $1,250 tobacco may be and often is the largest
single expense of this group. When tobacco is not first then recreation
or contributions usually is.
At higher income levels the following order, in terms of the average
dollars spent per family usually prevails, the first item having the
largest expense, the last item the least:
1. Contributions
4. Education
2. Recreation
5. Tobacco
3. Personal taxes
6. Reading
The reasons for these changes with income9 are not difficult to find.
At the very low incomes families are usually on the verge of relief,
and hence such items as education and contributions will receive prac
tically nothing. Something will be spent on a newspaper, a magazine,
and tobacco, but not much else. Publicly supported schools are
characteristic of the American educational system, and it is natural
that direct expenditures for formal education should be relatively
small among most of the families covered in the Study. At all income
levels above the lowest some families paid directly for music or dancing
lessons; an occasional family sent a child to a private nursery school or
to college, but until the $3,000 income level was reached, in general
direct expenditures were made up of very minor expenses for supplies
and school books. Direct outlays for education increased rapidly,
however, beyond incomes of $3,000.
This helps to explain why in actual dollar amounts contributions
and education increase most rapidly with increase in income; recrea8 While the present study represents an investigation of differences in expenditure patterns of families
at different income levels, it provides inferential though not direct evidence on how any given group of
families would alter the apportionment of their spending if their incomes were raised or lowered. Thus,
it is convenient to express differences in expenditures among families at different income levels as relative
changes with income. The relative increase over the income range in the outlay for a given item or category
provides an indication of the “elasticity” of expenditures for that item or category. Elasticity may be
measured in terms of the percentage increase over a given income range in average outlay for the item, or
it may be indicated by a comparison of the increase in average expenditures for the item in question with
the increase in income or in total expenditures. Since the expenditure base has generally been used in the
distribution of family expenditures, it has been convenient throughout the greater part of these reports to
speak of expenditures for specific items or groups of items as being relatively elastic or inelastic, according
to whether amounts spent constituted an increasing or decreasing proportion of total expenditures. It
will be apparent from data presented in vol. II of Bulls. 642-647 and 649 that the elasticity of any item or cate
gory is much lower when computed in relation to income rather than to expenditures, because of the influence
of deficits at the lower income levels, and of savings in the upper portion of the income scale.

tion is close behind them, with reading and tobacco bringing up the
rear. This relation between item expenditures as income increases
can be explained also in terms of the percentage of the total family
money expense that went to this particular item. As income in
creases, larger percentages of income are allocated to contributions,
recreation, and education; while smaller proportions are spent on
tobacco and reading.
These relationships can be summarized in terms of an estimated
range of percentages in round figures, the first standing for that pro
portion of total current expenditure spent at the lowest income class
($500-$749) and the second representing that at the highest incomes
at about $10,000. We show also an estimated average of the percent
age of total current expenditure going to these five groups at incomes

H o w fa m ilie s differ in their sp en d in g .—So far we have referred to
what families spend on the average. Equally important is how far indi
vidual families depart in their spending from this average. That this
variation may be considerable is shown by the expenditures for these
five items for two selected groups of Chicago renting families given
in table 3.
The first group is composed of 10 wage-earner families with incomes
between $1,250 and $1,500, each family with 3 children under 16
years of age. The second group included 9 salaried professional
families with incomes between $2,500 and $3,000, each family with
1 child under 16 years of age. The third wage-earner family, with
a total money expenditure of $1,417 for the year, spent only $25, or
less than 2 percent of its total money expense, on all these 5 items
combined. In the same group the eighth family, with a total expendi
ture of $1,250, spent $109, or 9 percent of its total expenditures, on
these items, more than 4 times as much as the third family spent.
In the salaried professional families the fourth and seventh
families had the same total money expense, but one spent more than
four times as much as the other on these items. The fifth and ninth
10 See appendix J, p. 383, for the method used in securing these percentages.
12
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
families spent about the same amount on these items but the total
money expense of the former was nearly $1,100 more than that of the
latter.
The tendency of families to concentrate their spending on certain
items is plain in both groups of families. In the wage-earner families,
6, 8, and 10 concentrated on tobacco, while families 2 and 9 spent
most for amusements and recreation equipment. Half of the expense
for these items in the third family went for reading, while half of that
of the fifth family was for education.
In the salaried professional families, 3, 6, 8, and 9 spent most on
contributions and personal taxes; families 1, 2, and 7 spent most
for recreation, while the fifth family went in for smoking. The fourth
family spent practically the same amount on tobacco as on contribu
tions and personal taxes.

Among these 10 wage-earner families, reading is the only item for

least 2 zeros to every item. Looking at the 10 families we find that
3 of them spent nothing on 2 of the 5 items, and with the exception of
1 family none of them spent more than $2 on education.
Among the 9 salaried professional families, at twice the income of
the wage-earner group just discussed, we find zero expenditures for two
items—tobacco and education. At the higher incomes we would
expect to find fewer zero expenditures, and there are fewer. It is
clear, however, that there are still many families in which no member
of the family smokes, a habit the absence or presence of which is not
at all correlated with income. As regards education, if a relatively
high income family has no children or children under school age, it is
likely that nothing will be spent for this item. At the lower incomes
say $1,250 to $1,500, the pressure to obtain basic necessities for a
family with children is so great that often nothing will be spent on
recreation, or contributed to others.
Racial differences in expenditures.— In general, what we have said
thus far concerning the expenditures of native white families applies
with some modifications to the expenditures of Negro families.
A comparison of the expenditures of white and Negro families in
Atlanta (table 4) shows some similarities as well as some differences.
For both races, at the low income classes, tobacco expenditures rank
high relative to those of the other categories, a position it loses
as income increases.
On the other hand, the Negro families spend more on contributions
and education, and it appears from the data that they spend as much as
or slightly more on reading than do the white families. Furthermore,
the Negro families spend less on tobacco than do the white families.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6
Variation in expenditures.—A more general way of showing the
extent to which individual family spending for particular categories,
varies from the average expenditure for the group is shown in the
following data based on the expenditure of 278 native white clerical
and wage-earner families with incomes in 1935-36 between $1,750 and
$2,000. These were drawn more or less at random and represent
about equally families in six large cities. In every case the computa
tions are based on those families of this group of 278 who reported
expenditures for the indicated category.

What is revealed here generally holds true even for smaller numbers
of families. Although there is wide variation in the specific foods
purchased by families with the same income and the same composition
in the same city, families vary less as regards their total expenditures
for food than in their expenditures for other groups of items. This
is shown by the fact that the measure of variation, the standard
deviation, which is 26 percent of the mean expenditure, is lower for
food than for any other category. Money spent for rent shows only
a slightly higher variation relative to the mean expenditure, while
clothing purchases show somewhat greater fluctuations relative to
the mean.
Each of the five categories which we are discussing shows more
variation than these three basic necessities. Reading and tobacco
expenditures relative to the mean are not very different from one
another and are slightly more variable than clothing expenditures.
Recreation and contributions including both gifts and personal taxes
show considerable variation relative to the average, while education
expenditures show the greatest variation from family to family of
any of the categories in the list.
These differences are inherent in the items themselves. Extremely
large expenditures are much more likely to occur for education, con
tributions, and recreation than they are for tobacco or reading. Very
low expenditures or no expense whatever for education are probable
with some families, so that a very wide range of expenditures is
likely to occur in any group of families. On the other hand practically
CONT RIBUiT1*0N'S AND PERSONAL TAXES
15
every family regardless of income will spend something for reading,
but few families regardless of income will spend more than $50 per
year, so that the variation about the average expense for this item
will be much less than that for education or recreation.
There are other reasons why families differ in their spending.
The principal one is a difference in income. It is a truism that the
more a family has the more it spends, and this is generally true for
every major item purchased. Families receiving the same income
may differ in their spending because of differences in size of family,
occupation of the breadwinner, prices paid, size of city, climate,
education, community customs, personal tastes and interests.
Differences in the amounts spent on a single category may be
much more closely associated with one of these factors than with
another. Differences in amounts spent on food are much more
closely associated with differences in family size than with differences
in occupation. Differences in housing are much more closely related
to differences in occupations than to differences in family size.
In the following chapters we shall discuss some of the factors which
cause variation in expenditures for recreation, reading, tobacco,
education, and contributions with special reference to income, city
size, region, family type, and occupation.
Chapter II
W hat the Family Spends for Recreation
Part I. Total Recreation and Its Major Divisions
Total recreation expense plus tobacco and reading.—If expenses for
tobacco and reading are combined with that for recreation, we find
in table 5 that the average money expense per family increases from
about $25 at income class $250-$499 to well over $500 for incomes
of $10,000 and over. The proportions of total family expense vary
between 4 percent and 8 percent. In the East Central area at an
income more nearly that of the average urban family, $1,250-$1,499,
an expenditure of $80 amounting to about 6 percent of the total
family expense would be a fair estimate.
The expenditures of the four city groups of table 5 are not signifi
cantly different relative either to dollar expenditures or to percentages,
the variations being well within that which one would expect from
fluctuations due to sampling.
What is included under recreation.—Recreation expenditures as
discussed in this bulletin do not include expense for reading and
tobacco which are described in later chapters. They include only
amounts spent for amusements and recreational equipment. How
ever, family expenditures which were made for the purpose of recrea
tion are not included under heading “recreation.” The cost of taking
a drive on a Sunday afternoon is included under automobile expense.
A pair of skates would be included under recreation, but not the
skating costume. Admission to a masquerade dance would be in
cluded under the cost of recreation, but not the rental of the costume
worn. Hence certain clothing, transportation, and furnishing costs
which some persons might put under recreation are classified under
other categories.

T otal fa m ily expense fo r recreation .—Families differ in their spending
for recreation for various reasons, one of the most important being
income. At the very low incomes not enough money is available
for the three items of food, clothing, and housing, let alone for less
essential items. At this level hardly 1 percent of the total money
outlay is for recreation. When we get to incomes of about $1,500
we find families spending about 3 percent for recreation while at
$3,000 about 4 percent of the expense is for this item. Differences
also arise due to different habits of recreation in cities in different
parts of the nation, and to differences in family type, and occupation,
although these last two factors are not so important in explaining
variations as are income and region.
A graphic picture of how family spending for recreation varies
from one income to another, and from one city to another is shown
in figure 3 for New York City, Chicago, and the six large cities.1
Variation in recreation expense due to income class and to regions
as indicated by these lines is significant even after we take out the
variation due to family types and to occupations. As a matter of
fact income class is the most important factor in explaining differences
in recreation expense, with region the next important factor.
The differences between cities of the same size but in different
regions are striking. Among the large cities shown in figure 3,
i The equations of the lines fitted to these data and how they were obtained are given in appendix
G. p. 367. For the metropolises and large cities, these lines are applicable between incomes of $500 and
$10,000; for the middle-sized and small cities, between $250 and $5,000. They should not be extrapolated for
purposes of estimation.

Atlanta families have the least expense, especially above income class
$2,000-$2,500, while Denver and Portland families show the highest
expense, those in Denver above income class $2,500-$3,000 and those
in Portland below this income class. The differences between Atlanta
and Denver can be made more concrete: in Atlanta an increase of $100
in income means an increase of about $3.20 in recreation expense,
while in Denver a similar increase in income means an increase of
about $4.70 in spending for recreation. Providence with an increase
in spending of $4.60 for every $100 increase in income is very much
like Denver. These figures apply only through the range of income
where the relationship between income and expenditures is linear.
The two metropolitan centers show no striking variations from the
six large cities, New York being near the center of the zone of average
expenditures represented by the lines of these cities. The two lines
for New York and Chicago are not far enough apart to warrant saying
that a real difference exists between them. On the other hand,
the line for Denver is significantly higher while that for Atlanta is
significantly lower than either Chicago or New York.2
The six groups of middle-sized cities and the two groups of small
cities show even more pronounced likenesses and differences. The
extremes are represented on the one hand by Haverhill-New Britain
and Muncie-New Castle-Springfield, each group showing an increase
in expense of $3.30 per $100 increase in income, and on the other by
Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett with an increase of $5.10 per $100
increase in income. These figures apply only to expenditures in the
income range between $250 and $5,000.
Furthermore recreation expenditures in the middle-sized cities in
New England, the Southeast, the East Central, and the West Central
areas are not different one from another. Families in these cities
show very similar expenditure patterns for recreation relative to
income class. These four groups of families spend much the same as
families in Atlanta, the low average for the large city families.
In the two small city groups, family expenditures for recreation
appear to be significantly higher for all income classes in the New
England cities than in the East Central cities.
In the middle-sized cities those located in the Rocky-Mountain
and in the Pacific Northwest areas show significantly higher expendi
tures at all income classes than do families in other cities studied.
Since Denver and Portland ranked high in recreation expense among
the large cities, this seems to suggest a regional difference with the
Far West ranking high and the Southeast ranking low.

cities where data were secured from this group show no striking differ
ences between any two cities. In general, however, there is a tend
ency for the families in Columbus, Ohio to spend less than families in
New York City or in Atlanta. This holds true for all seven com
parable income classes above $1,000.
When the recreation expenditures for Negro families are compared
with those for white families, income class by income class, we find in
New York City the latter group exceeds the former in only 4 out of 11
income classes. This gives no conclusive evidence of any consistent
difference between the level of expenditures of whites and Negroes.
In Columbus, however, the recreation expense for white families
exceeds that of Negro families in 8 out of 9 income classes; in Atlanta
this ratio is 8 out of 11 income classes; while in Columbia-Mobile it is 9
out of 11. In all 3 cases these ratios support the hypothesis of a
racial difference.
M a jo r d ivisio n s of recreation expense .— Recreation expense may be
divided into five major groups for the purpose of this discussion:
admissions, games and sports (including special equipment for partici
pation), other recreational equipment, social and recreational club
dues, and other. Expenditures for admissions cover movies, lectures,
concerts, dances, and spectator sports; those for games and sports
include cost of equipment, licenses, rentals; “other equipment”
expense includes amounts spent for radio purchase and maintenance,
muscial instruments and supplies, photographic equipment and
supplies, toys, and pets; recreational club dues refer to expenses in
such organizations as lodges, Y. M. C. A., and Boy Scouts; while
other recreational expenses include gambling losses, athletic fees at
college, favors, decorations, and prizes, and recreational allowances
for family members not elsewhere classified.

Not only does the total recreation expense increase faster than does
average income, but each one of the major divisions increases faster
than income (at least in the cities given, and over this income range).
In only 3 out of 15 comparisons, the average expenditures for these
major groups of recreation expense are more than twice as great
in the income class $2,500-$3,000 as those in the income class $1,250$ 1,500. We shall note later that this rate of increase is not maintained
for all items as income increases to the upper limits covered by this
survey. In table 7 are shown how the total dollar expense for recrea
tion is divided among the five groups for all income classes for Chicago.

expense. They show how total recreation expense at each income

3 This
These data show several common characteristics. At the lowest
income class, $500-$750, the overwhelming proportion of recreation
money goes to either admissions or equipment. Games and sports
and club dues each account for only a very small fraction of recreation
expense at this level, but among families with incomes of $5,000-$7,500
each will account for 15 to 20 percent of the total.
As income increases, the proportion spent on admissions and on
“other” equipment decreases while the proportion spent on games
and sports, club dues, and other items increases until the percentages
spent on games and sports, equipment, and on club dues are about
equal but still somewhat less than the proportion spent on admissions.
As income increases, choices become freer and diversity of buying
is the result. While the proportion of recreation expense going to
admissions of all sorts decreases, that for admission to concerts, plays,
and lectures tends to increase. Furthermore, additional income means
that more funds are available for buying the relatively expensive

equipment needed for participation in many games and sports, and
more money is at hand to maintain the standards of dress and dining
necessary for membership in social and recreational clubs.
Certain inter city differences can be observed. Admissions take a
much higher percentage at the lower incomes in Chicago than in the
smaller East Central cities. The spoken theater and the symphony
orchestra are frequently available in Chicago and very seldom in the
other three cities. Equipment on the other hand takes a smaller per
centage in Chicago and a much larger percentage in the other cities,
especially at incomes under $1,500.
Club dues are proportionately higher in the small and middle-sized
cities than they are among families at comparable incomes in Columbus
or Chicago.
M etro p o lis a n d m id d le -sized cities co m pared .— These contrasts in
family spending for various kinds of recreation are brought out more
sharply when we compare families in the New York City with those
in the middle-town group— Muncie-New Castle-Springfield— and with
those in the two small-city groups.
The lines of dollar expenditure for all recreation as well as for mov
ies, games and sports, total equipment, and club dues for these four
groups of families are shown in figure 4. As indicated previously
total recreation expense in each city tends to increase by equal amounts
as income increases, up to a certain point.
In New York City it is interesting and significant that while the
increase of total recreation expense with income follows a straigh t line,
the expense for each of the major groups of which it is composed fol
lows a curved line. This is because the lines of expense of two of the
items, movies and equipment, are bowed downward at the upper
income levels while the lines of the expense for the other two groups—
games and sports, and club dues— are bowed upward. The decline in
the proportion of income spent on the first two, as income increases,
is counterbalanced by the increase in the proportion of income spent
for the last two groups; hence the sum follows a straight line.4 The
curve of expenditures for the first group, movies and equipment, flat
tens out as income increases since wants are satisfied by means of a
certain expenditure even at the higher income levels. On the other
hand certain types of recreation can be expanded greatly, if not indef
initely. As expense for movies flattens out, club dues increase rapidly;
as purchases of equipment approach the saturation point, expenses
for games and sports turn upward.
As income increases families may still go to the movies, but they
also go to the opera and to concerts. They still have radios, now
more expensive, but they also go horseback riding and boating. They
4 These items do not account for all of the recreation expense, but usually more than 90 percent of the total.

may still play golf, but they now belong to a country club and per
haps to a boat club. Thus in New York City where so many commerical recreational facilities exist, we find most pronounced this dis
tinction between the two types of expenditures— those that behave
as if they were “necessities” and those that behave as if they were
“luxuries.” These curves of spending for families in New York City
show this difference much more strikingly than any other city that
was studied, including Chicago.
There is a much sharper differentiation between the various groups
of recreation items in New York City than in the middle-town group.
In this latter mid-American group of families so often called typical,
we find no such sharp division of expenditures into two groups, neither
do we find the lines of expense so curved. As a matter of fact, the
lines of expense for the movies, and games and sports, at different
income levels, so curved in New York City, are practically straight
in the middle-town group. The item which does increase on a curved
line is club dues, showing that as income increases families spend
much more than a proportional amount on this item of sociability.
At every income above $1,500 the families in the middle-town group
spend more dollars on the average on this item of sociability than do
families in the metropolis.
The data collected in the present investigation do not give any
indication of the kinds of recreation for which these middle-town
families make such relatively large expenditures. The similarity of
social life from one American city to another makes it seem likely
that the club life observed by the Lynds in Muncie may be representa
tive of the other cities of the same size class included in the present
survey.
A total of 458 active clubs was discovered in Middletown after an exhaustive
canvass during the spring and summer of 1924, roughly one for each eighty people.
This probably includes four-fifths of all active organized club groups. * * *
The current of organization has apparently run even more rapidly in the region
of the more formal type of juvenile clubs, as national organizations such as the
Boy Scouts and Girl Reserves have increased * * * as the church has
organized its children in the effort to hold them against outside competition, and
as clubs have sprung up to sift the 1,600 high school students into the smaller
groupings. * * *
Although there has been a growing tendency among the business class to make
club life serve other than recreational ends, notably those of getting a living,
most Middletown clubs apparently offer people not an extension of their custo
mary activities but a way of escape from them. The city is dotted with social
clubs, chiefly women’s clubs, but in a limited number of cases including husbands
as well: the Kill Rare Club, Jolly Eight, Best of All Club, Happy Twelve, Bitter
Sweet Club, and so on. Here cards, games among the working class, music,
or dancing, and always “refreshments” offer Middletown an alternation from
routine duties of life. Among the business class the Country Club, bridge clubs,
and so on, and, among the group from fifteen to thirty years of age, fraternities
and sororities, tend to supplement or displace the smaller, less formal neighbor
hood gatherings of a generation ago.
26

The value which Middletown places upon education is reflected in its clubs,
but, although working-class families press toward schooling for their children and
to some extent avail themselves of technical training in evening classes, it is the
more leisured women of the business class who compose the literary and artistic
study clubs of the city. These nineteen groups, fifteen of them forming a part
of the county “Federated Club of Clubs,” vie with the men’s civic clubs in local
prominence.5
In a second survey in Muncie in 1936, nothing struck the investi
gators more forcibly than the hardy persistence of local club life.
Neighborhood card and game clubs had gone on their sociable way
despite the depression; the adult literary and artistic clubs had
expanded to take on more study of world events and current affairs
in the United States; a Lions Club had been added to the 5 other
men’s civic clubs; membership in the country club had grown, and
two riding clubs which sponsor an annual horse show had been
organized by the well-to-do.6
Expense for equipment as shown by the present survey flattens out as
income increases in much the same way in Muncie (famed as the
“middle town” of earlier surveys) that it does in New York City except
that the tendency sets in at a higher income in the latter city.
P a id a d m issio n s .— We now turn to a discussion of the three major
types of recreation expense: paid admissions, games and sports, and
equipment.
Expenditures for movies, plays, lectures, concerts, dances, and
spectator sports are on the average the largest item in the recreation
bill. Wide variations exist between cities and the extent of this
variation among the two metropolises and selected large cities is
shown in table 8.
New York City ranks first both with regard to the amount spent
by each income class for this class of items and the proportion which
these paid admissions represent in total recreation expense. Chicago
ranks second with average expenditures at every income class save
one being several dollars less than the corresponding expenditure in
New York City. Similarly families in Portland, Oreg., at every income
class except one spent less than those in Chicago. Atlanta families also
spent less than the Chicago families at every income save two. Hence
there are three levels of expense for admissions represented by New
York City, Chicago, Portland, and Atlanta.
With regard to the p ro p o rtio n of total recreation expense that went
to admissions, the five cities in general take the following order, the
city with the highest percentage first:

1 Admissions to movies, plays, lectures, concerts, dances, and spectator sports.
These figures indicate wide differences between cities relative to
the emphasis which families put on going to movies, lectures, and
concerts and plays, dances, spectator sports, and the like. No doubt
the fact that New York City offers so many opportunities for going to
movies, plays, concerts, lectures, and spectator sports accounts for the
high proportion of the recreation bill which goes to these items.
On the other hand, the differences between the middle-sized cities
in different parts of the country are much less pronounced. (Table 9).
In actual dollars spent for admissions, families in Aberdeen-BellinghamEverett (all in the State of Washington) rank highest up to incomes of
$3,000 although in half of the income classes they rank lowest relative
to the proportion of total recreation expense that goes to admissions.
This means that these families have a high total recreation expense
relative to families in the other five city groups. Up to incomes of
$3,000, families in Dubuque-Springfield, Mo., spend less on admissions
than do families in any of the other five middle-sized city groups.
The differences between family spending for admissions in the four
groups of cities in the New England, Southeast, East Central, and
Rocky Mountain areas respectively are too small and erratic to be of
28

any consequence. Thus up to the $3,000 income level we have cities
in the Pacific Northwest ranking high, cities in the West Central
ranking low, and cities in the other four areas forming a group between.

1 Admissions includes movies, plays, lectures, concerts, dances, and spectator sports.
Gam es a n d sp o rts .— We now turn to a type of recreation which is
quite the opposite of that represented by paid admissions. Expendi
tures for games and sports imply an active participation in outdoor
and indoor activities. Included under this classification are expendi
tures for such activities as boating, hunting, fishing, and camping;
licenses, fees, and rentals involved in these games and sports; expenses
for golf, tennis, baseball, and bowling equipment, except for any
clothing involved.
The rank of several of the cities relative to family expenditures for
games and sports is quite different from that found for admissions.7
New York City families, ranking first in expense for admissions, now
rank at or near the bottom for most income classes (table 10). Except
at the high incomes, amounts spent for active participation in games
and sports do not constitute much of the expense for recreation for
7 The equations of the regression lines fitted to the average expenditures for games and sports, and how they
were obtained, are given in appendix G, p. 367.
WHAT THE FAMILY SPEND'S FOR RECREATION
29
New York City families. No doubt the inaccessibility to many
families o£ parks and playing fields and the high cost of engaging in
sports serves in large part to explain this situation, although the com
petition from movies and other types of recreation, less expensive and
nearer at hand probably affects the situation. Above the income
level $4,000-$4,999, New York City families begin to spend as much
for games and sports, or more, than families in the other large cities
studied. The New York City expenditure line 7 is the steepest of
those computed for the eight large city groups covered by this survey
indicating a very strong tendency to engage in this type of recreation
as income increases.
At the other extreme are the Portland families, who tended to
spend the least for admissions, but who now outspend all other fam
ilies at every income class up to $7,500. As a matter of fact, up to
incomes of $4,000, families in Portland spend at least twice as much
for games and sports as do New York City families in comparable
income groups. The figures for Portland indicate a general participa
tion in games and sports at all income levels, not just at the high in
comes as is the case in New York City.
The percentage of the total recreation bill that went for games and
sports is shown in table 10 for each income class in New York City
and four selected large cities. At every income class Portland per
centages are considerably higher than those for New York City.
They are higher than those in Atlanta with the exception of two
income classes where the percentages are equal. They are higher
than those for Columbus with the exception of one income class, and
are higher than those for Omaha in 9 out of 13 income classes. Ranked
according to percentages from low percentage to high percentage we
have: New York, Atlanta, Columbus, Omaha, and Portland.
G am es an d sports: M id d le -size d an d sm all citie s .— In table 11 the
money outlays for games and sports for the six middle-sized cities
and the two small city groups show the same wide variations as
existed among the large cities and metropolises.7
Here, as in the larger cities, we find the families in the cities in the
Pacific Northwest area (Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett) spending con
siderably more than families in any of the other five similar areas.
At the other end of the scale are the families in New England (Haver
hill-New Britain) who spent considerably less for games and sports.
The expense for families in the smaller Pacific Northwest cities,
indicates as did that for Portland, that buying of this type of recrea
tion is not limited to the higher income classes but is relatively large
even among some families with incomes below $1,500.
7 The equations of the regression lines fitted to the average expenditures for games and sports, and how they
were obtained, are given in appendix G, p. 367.

1 Average expenditure less than 50 cents.
The dollar and percentage values given in table 10 show not only
that the dollar expenditures were different but that the percentages of
recreation expense that went into games and sports were also signif
icantly different. On the whole, families in Aberdeen-BellinghamEverett spent proportionately about twice as much on games and
WHAT THE FAMILY SPENDS FOR RECREATION
31
sports as did families in Haverhill-New Britain. Comparing families
in Dubuque-Springfield with those in Butte-Pueblo, we see that
although the latter have a much higher dollar expense for this type
of recreation, they devoted about the same proportion of their total
recreational expense to games and sports as did families in DubuqueSpringfield.
Families in the two groups of small cities vary greatly in their
spending for games and sports, those in the East Central area being
more like the families in the middle-sized cities in the same area, while
those in New England are much more like the families in New York
City.
The fact that families in Portland have expenditures for games and
sports which run consistently high, while those in all other cities
including New York City (at the lower incomes at least) run con
sistently low suggests a regional difference in spending for this kind
of recreation.
This hypothesis is given further support by the fact that the
families in Aberdeen, Bellingham, Hoquiam, and Everett— all cities
of about 50,000 population in the State of Washington— spend much
more at every income class than do families in any of the other five
similar city groups. Furthermore, between the income levels of
$1,000 and $3,000 families in Butte and Pueblo, also western cities,
rank next to the Washington cities.
P ercen tage of fa m ilie s reportin g expense .— Three points relative to
the percentages of families reporting expenditures for games and sports
can be observed in table 12. There is an increase in the size of the
percentages as income increases, the variation from one income level
to another being higher in New York City and Chicago than in the
other cities in the table. A much higher percentage of families in
Portland, Oreg., than in either of the two metropolises purchased
equipment, supplies, and licenses for participating in games and
sports. This difference is much more marked at the lower incomes
than it is at the upper incomes. Lastly the small and middle-sized
cities in the East Central region show higher percentages at every
comparable income class, but one, than do Chicago and Columbus,
larger cities in the same area.
E ffect on in tercity differences in average expenditures. — The average
expenditures which we have used in the preceding pages are based
upon all families supplying information for expenditure schedules
regardless of whether they made any purchases of items in the particu
lar category. In other words, we have average spending per family.
Obviously these averages will be affected by the proportion of
families in any income class who actually made purchases of the item.
For example, families making purchases in each of two cities may
have the same average expenditures. When average expenditures are
32
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6
computed for all families in each city, the results may be quite differ
ent. If buying is just as high but only half as frequent among families
in one city as in the other, the averages of the former city will be
reduced to half those of the latter city. The city differences will be
in the percentage buying, not in what families spent who actually
made purchases.

WHAT THE FAMILY SPENDS FOR RECREATION

On the other hand, a comparison of average expenditures in two
cities may show that the differences between families in the same
income class become greater if the averages are based upon those
buying. This is the case with families in New York City and in
Portland relative to purchasing games and sport equipment (table 13).
If the averages are based upon all families, the average difference per
income class by which Portland families exceed New York City
families is $8.80. If the average is based upon families purchasing
this average difference per income class based on the same income
classes increases to $11.30.
On the other hand New York, Providence, and even the small
New England cities have similar expense patterns indicating that in
these cities, games and sports are much more limited to families in
the higher income brackets. This was not true, however, for the
middle-sized cities in New England.
There is some evidence of an increasing interest in buying this
type of recreation as we proceed across the Nation from east to west,
but the differences between communities are not clear-cut enough to
suggest more than a hypothesis.
Other recreation al eq u ip m en t .— The third of the major types of
recreation includes various types of equipment— such as radios,
musical instruments, toys, and pets— but it excludes equipment used
in games and sports.
The averages for the expense for equipment indicate clearly both
the increase of expenditure with increase of income, and the differ
ences between these eight cities.8 The extremes, based on the slope
of the expense line, are represented by New York City and by
Omaha.8 New York families spend the least below an income of
$2,000, while Omaha families spend the least beyond this income.
Portland families spend the most up to an income of $3,000 while
New York City families spend the most beyond this point. Hence,
New York City represents both extremes of spending, at least when
compared with the other eight cities.
While these data indicate that low-income families in New York
City, in Chicago, and in Denver were not buying much recreational
equipment, they indicate that similar families in Portland, Omaha, and
Atlanta were buying— speaking relatively— quite heavily.
The lines of expenditure for families in Atlanta, Providence, and
Columbus are so close together that no significant difference can be
said to exist between them. Significant differences do exist, however,
between New York and Omaha, New York and Portland, Portland and

Omaha, Chicago and Omaha. The difference between New York
City and Chicago is not significant.9
The proportion equipment expense was of the total recreational
bill varies greatly from income class to income class, and from city
to city, as shown in table 14. For every income class up to $2,250,
Atlanta families spend a significantly larger proportion on equipment
than do families in the other cities, but beyond this income no clear
intercity differences appear in the proportions of total recreational
expense going to equipment of this sort.

E q u ip m en t expense in sm a ll an d m id d le-sized citie s .— If there are
wide differences between the eight larger cities relative to equipment
expense, there are even greater differences between the six middle
sized-city groups and the two small city groups. The lines represent
ing expenditure of this sort in these eight city groups diverge so that
there is relatively little crossing of one line by another except at
incomes below $2,000.8 The data indicate that, in general, spending
for recreational equipment is directly proportional to income; that is,
when income doubles, expense for equipment is approximately double.
This general relationship holds up to incomes of $10,000.
The two far western city groups— Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett
and Butte-Pueblo— stand out above all the others in the large amounts
spent on recreational equipment of this type at every income class. At
the other extreme are the families in the Dubuque-Springfield group
which reported the lowest average expenditures at every income class
above $1,000. Between these two extremes are the three other middle
sized-city groups which did not show any significant differences among

them: Haverhill-New Britain, Columbia-Mobile, and Muncie-New
Castle-Springfield.
Significant differences in equipment expense exist between these
three large groups of urban families, although there is no significant
difference between Springfield-Dubuque and Columbia-Mobile.
Families in the small cities in New England spend a significantly
greater amount on recreational equipment than do families in the small
cities of the East Central area. In this respect these families in New
England buy much more like the families in the middle-sized cities of
the same region.
Part II. Specific Items of Recreation
Up to this point we have discussed what the family spends for total
recreation and its three main divisions— admissions, games and
sports, and equipment. We now turn to a few of the specific items
of recreation.
M ovies in the m etropolises a n d large c itie s .— Movies take the lion’s
share of the money spent for admissions. At incomes below $750 it
accounts for more than 90 percent of the total for admissions; at
incomes above $7,500 for about 50 percent. Generally sums spent
for the movies represent the largest single item of recreation expense
in every income class up to $5,000 and in some groups even beyond
this limit.
The lines of expense for movies shown in fig. 5 reveal several signifi
cant relationships.10 In the first place, in all cities the line is curved
rather than straight, and in most cities flattens out quite rapidly
after an income of $3,000 is reached. This means that movie buying
tends to reach a saturation point after the family has attended a
certain number of movies a week. The amount spent for admissions
to moving-picture theaters differs from one city to another. At
every income class New York City families spend more on movies
than do families in any other city studied. As a matter of fact,
no other city is anywhere near New York City as regards movie
expense. Compared with what families in New York City spend,
those in Portland, on the average, spend about three-fifths as much
at every income class.
There are four groups of cities which appear to have similar patterns
of movie expense:

WHAT THE FAMILY SPENDS FOR RECREATION
37
While there is evidence to show that movie expenditures in Columbus
are significantly lower than in Chicago, they are not significantly
lower than in Atlanta or Providence.
Omaha families stand by themselves in relation to movie expense.
Up to the income class $2,500 to $2,999, Omaha families rank lowest
in movie expense, while beyond this income Portland families spend
the least. At low incomes, Omaha families spend less than Portland
families, but at higher incomes they spend more.
The rapid flattening out of the movie lines for Portland and Denver
indicates that the competition of other types of recreation becomes
effective at a much lower income level in these cities than in any of
the other six cities.11
The pattern of movie expenditures by Chicago families lies between
that which characterizes New York, and that of Atlanta and Provi
dence.
Average expenditures in Chicago are higher, but not
significantly higher than in either Atlanta or Providence.
M ovie expense as a p rop o rtio n of recreation expense .— The part of
total recreational expense spent for movies is given in table 15 for
six cities. The percentages by cities follow much the same order as
the average dollar expenditures. New York with the highest average
money expense for movies shows the highest percentages of the total,
while Portland with the lowest money expense has the lowest percent
ages in most of the income classes. When it is recalled (fig. 2) that
the total recreation expense is not very different for Portland and New
York City families, the differences in types of recreation bought
are readily seen.
The decrease in the percentages as income increases is evident in
each one of the cities, but nowhere is the decline so striking as that
for families in New York City. Those with incomes between $500
and $750 spent about $16 a year on recreation and slightly more than
three-fourths (78 percent) on movies alone. Those with incomes
between $1,500 and $2,000 spent about $44 on recreation with slightly
more than half (54 percent) going to movies. Those with incomes
between $4,000 and $5,000 spent $180 on recreation with less than
one-fourth (23 percent) being spent on movies. Hence, while more
dollars are spent on movies as income increases, they draw propor
tionately less and less of the recreation bill.
11 Comparing Portland with New York City again, we find that the slope of the regression line of movie
expense on income for Portland at a given income is the same as that of the New York line at a m u ch higher
in co m e —about $1,000 higher. Income levels at which the movie regression lines for these two cities have
approximately the same slope are as follows:
New York City
Portland
$2,500—$3,000
$1,500—$2,000
$3,000—$3,500

Let us take Portland, Oreg., which is at the other end of the scale
as regards expense for movies. In the income class $500 to $750,
Portland families spent $22 on recreation but of this less than onefourth (23 percent) went to the movies. At $1,500 to $2,000, the
Portland families spent $50 on recreation, but only 27 percent went
to movies as against 54 percent in New York City. At the higher
income $4,000 to $5,000, Portland families spent $173 on recreation
with about one-eighth (12 percent) of this going to movies.
M ovies in the sm all a n d m id d le-sized c itie s .— The lines of expense for
movies in the middle-sized cities show no such wide city variations as
do those for the large cities.12 The highest line is seldom more than
$5 above the lowest line, and more often the two boundaries are only
half this distance apart. This would seem to indicate a tendency
toward a similar pattern of expense for movies, relative to income
class.
Certain differences do exist however, and a few are worth noting.
Among families with incomes up to $3,000, expenditures for movies
in Dubuque-Springfield are the lowest, while beyond this income
Butte-Pueblo ranks at the bottom. At the other extreme is AberdeenBellingham-Everett, which has the highest movie expense in 12 of
the 14 income classes.
The two small city groups are very much alike relative to movie
expense, but both run definitely high when compared with the middlesized cities. The difference is appreciable between incomes of $2,000
and $4,000 where expenditures are on about the same level as those
in Chicago and Providence, and indicates that spending for movies is
not associated with size of city. A plausible explanation of relatively
high movie expense in small towns is that the movies are the sole type
of low-price admissions readily accessible and open daily.

While the percentage of recreation expense paid out for the movies
decreases as income increases, the percentage to plays, concerts, and
lectures increases as shown in table 16. This tendency is more pro
nounced in New York City than any of the other cities, reflecting no
doubt the favored position of New York City as the theatrical center
of the Nation. While the curves for movies behave like a “necessity”
item such as food, those for plays, concerts, and lectures behave like
a “luxury” item. The former appears to be a poor man’s recreation,
the latter a diversion of the well-to-do.

M ovie expense of N egro fa m ilie s .— Compared with white families in
New York City, Negro families in the same city spend less for movies
in 9 out of 11 comparable income classes (table 17). The percentage
this expense is of total recreation expense is less for Negro families
in 7 out of 11 income classes. In other words, the Negro families
spend less on the average at each income class than do the white
families, but not proportionately less of the total recreation expense.
In Columbus, Ohio, the white families spend more on movies than
the Negro families in 8 out of 9 comparable incomes. In terms of
percentages the white families have higher values in 6 out of 9 income
classes. This is much the same as the situation in New York City.
In Atlanta the movie expense of the white families exceeds that of
the Negro families at every one of the 11 comparable income classes.
Relative to percentages, the white families are higher in 8 of the 11
income classes.
In Columbia and Mobile combined, the white families spend more on
the average in 10 out of 11 income classes, while they are higher with
regard to percentages in only 5 out of 11 income classes.
These data seem to indicate that the white families in all four cities
spend more per family on movies than do the Negro families at com
parable income classes, but that the proportion of all recreation
expense going to movies is similar in the two groups.

WHAT THE FAMILY SPENDS FOR RECREATION
41
relatively small numbers of families purchasing radios in each income
class, and the very considerable variation in the prices paid at each
income level make it difficult to draw any conclusion as to the relation
between prices paid for radios and increases in income.
The average price paid for radios by Chicago families (table 18)
shows some increase in money spent as income increased up to $2,500,
but beyond this income the average expenditure does not increase
with income. In the middle-sized cities of the East Central region,
however, there is consisteot evidence of a relation between radio
purchase and income class. In only two income classes is there any
break in the association of higher expenditures of radio purchase with
higher income.
S ocial an d recreational club du es .— Examples of organizations in
cluded under “ social and recreational clubs” are lodges, fraternities,
country clubs, Y. M. C. A., service clubs, athletic and sport clubs.
Excluded from the group are trade unions, professional societies, and
business organizations.13 In cases where the organization also carried
insurance and sickness benefits for its members, expense for these
items was excluded from the club dues, and classified under expenditure
for medical care.
Club dues show a greater change with income than any other item
of recreational expense. At the lowest income class, $500 to $749,
they represent 5 percent or less of the recreation expense in seven
cities, while among families with incomes above $7,500 they form
(with the exception of families in the $7,500 to $10,000 class in New
York City) the most important single recreation expense in the two
metropolises, the six large cities, and in two of the middle-sized cities.
The change with income is strikingly brought out in New York City
where the poorest families averaged 50 cents a year for club dues,
while the richest families covered in the study averaged only three
dollars short of $200 for social and recreational club dues. The former
amount represented 3 percent, while the latter represented 21 percent
of the total recreation expense. In Chicago the corresponding amounts
are 60 cents and $116. At incomes above $5,000, it is safe to say that
20 to 25 percent of recreation expense is for the privilege of belonging
to these social and recreational clubs.
Not only are there differences between income classes but there
are differences between cities at the same income class. Families in
New York and Chicago tend to spend less on club dues than families
in five of the large cities. In most income classes to $2,500
Atlanta families are at the bottom of the list as shown in table 19.
At the other extreme are the Portland families which reported the
highest expense for clubs up to an income of $3,000, and the Denver
families, which were highest beyond this income.
13 Amounts spent for these were treated as a business expense and deducted from income.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1935-36
The contrast between Portland and Atlanta is even more significant
than that between Portland and New York City. The slope of the
Portland line indicates that recreational club expense is relatively
high at all income levels, whereas that for Atlanta shows that clubs
are much more a diversion of the well-to-do. These data indicate that
“joining” is much more prevalent, if money expense is any indication,
in some cities of about 300,000 population than in other cities of the
same size.
The expense lines of club dues in the small and middle-sized cities
indicate that inter city differences are not limited to the larger cities.
Columbia-Mobile shows the least expense for every income class.
Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett is consistently high but below incomes
of $1,000 it is easily topped by Haverhill-New Britain. At the other
extreme of “steepness” is Butte-Pueblo, reflecting the tendency ob
served in Atlanta where there are apparently few purely recreational
clubs for low incomes and many for those with high incomes. The
two city groups in the midwest, Muncie-Springfield-New Castle, and
Springfield-Dubuque have practically the same expenditure lines.
This is also true of the two lines for the small cities, even though one
is in New England and the other in the East Central area.

The data given in table 20 for the small and middle-sized cities in
the East Central region support the hypothesis that expense for club
dues varies inversely as the size of the city— the smaller the city the
more is spent, while the larger the city the less is spent. At every
comparable income class, Columbus families spend more, considerably
more, than do Chicago families. In the 11 comparable income classes
for Columbus and the middle-sized cities, the latter exceed in 6 income
classes, are equal in 2, and lower in 3. In the 10 comparable income
classes for middle-sized and small cities, the latter exceed in 8, and are
lower in 2. The small cities exceed Columbus at every comparable

indicates, that at comparable incomes, family expense for “joining”
increases as the size of the community decreases.

When the reports for the different regions are compared it appears
that families in the Western cities like Denver, Portland, AberdeenBellingham-Everett, and possibly Butte-Pueblo spend significantly
more on social and recreational club dues, all incomes considered, than
do families iu cities of similar size in the East and South.
Chapter III
What the Family Spends for Reading
R e ad in g in the n a tion a l econom y. — Only about two centuries ago
one of the royal governors in the American colonies thanked God
that there were no printing presses in his colony. At present reading
is an important national habit, and printing and publishing a basic
national industry. The Study of Consumer Purchases shows that
American families, rich or poor, insist upon the daily newspaper.
The reading of magazines, while obviously common, leads to no such
annual family outlays on the average as does the daily newspaper.
The purchase of books, on the other hand, involves much smaller
outlays, even at higher income levels.
As explained above, reading expenditures as summarized in this
study exclude expenses for two types of reading matter— books and
journals purchased for occupational use, and books bought for school
use, the latter expense being included under education.
R ead in g expense in the m etropolises an d large cities. —Up to incomes
of about $7,500, the increase in total reading expense of families in
New York City, Chicago, and the six large cities is in direct propor
tion to increase in income, as shown in figure 6.1 However, there
are some very significant differences between cities. Families in
New York City spend considerably more on reading at every income
class than do families in any other city; Chicago families are second,
but not a close second.
The difference between the two extremes— New York City and
Columbus— can be expressed in another way. In the former city, on
the average, an increase in income of $100 leads to an increase of 85
cents in family spending for reading, while in the latter city the cor
responding increase is 57 cents. The value in Chicago amounts to
68 cents. These values hold only for incomes ranging from $500 to
$5,000.
The variation among the six large cities is less than that between
New York City and Chicago. Moreover, Chicago, is much more
like Denver than it is like New York City.
Beyond incomes of $7,500, reading expense continues to increase
in the same proportion as income in Chicago and Omaha, but in the
other large and middle-sized cities, at the higher income levels the
proportion of total income spent for reading tends to decline.
i The equations of the lines fitted to these data, and how they were obtained, are given in appendix G, p. 367.

R ea d in g expense in the sm all an d m id d le-sized cities. —The differences
in reading expense between the several middle-sized cities are even
greater than those observed relative to the metropolises and the six
large cities.2 The two extreme lines of expenditure are represented
by families in Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett with the highest expense,
and by those in Dubuque-Springfield with the lowest expense. This
is true above an income of $1,000. Below this income families in
Muncie-New Castle-Springfield are the highest, while those in Co
lumbia-Mobile are lowest.
Other city groups which show significant differences are ColumbiaMobile and Dubuque-Springfield. Expenditures for reading for the
former group increase more rapidly with increase of income than
those of the latter group. A similar inference can be made relative
to Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett and Dubuque-Springfield.
Relative to reading expense middle-sized cities show more striking
differences among themselves than do the large cities. This differ
ence can be expressed in terms of money spent per $100 increase in
income. In the large cities this value varies from 57 to 65 cents.
In the middle-sized cities it varies from 47 to 93 cents. These values
hold only for incomes ranging from $500 to $5,000.
We find also that families in the small New England cities spent
significantly more than did families in small cities in the East Central
area.
Most of the differences between cities will be found in the different
amounts families spend on newspapers.
R e ad in g expense of N egro fa m ilie s. —Negro families in Columbus,
Ohio, spend less for reading than do Negro families with similar
incomes in New York City or Atlanta. As shown in table 21 Negro
families in the two latter cities exceed those in Columbus as regards
reading expense, in 8 out of 9 comparable income classes.
Of even greater interest is a comparison of the reading expenditure
of white and of Negro families at the same income class. In New
York City the white families have higher average expenditures in 8
out of 11 comparable income classes. In Columbus the expenditures
of the white families for reading is higher in 9 out of 10 comparable
income classes, the actual differences at given income levels ranging
from $2 to $5.
In Atlanta on the other hand the Negro families spend more for
reading than the white families in 8 out of the 11 income classes.
At five of the income classes the expense of the Negro families exceeds
that of the white families by more than three dollars, the larger dif
ferences being found in the incomes from $1,750 to $4,000. The
higher expenditures of the Negro families are due at least in part to
the fact that library facilities are not as readily available to Negroes

as to whites in Atlanta. The Central Library is not available to them
and they have the use of only one branch library. The relatively
large expenditures of the Atlanta Negro families as compared with
those in Columbus and Columbia-Mobile may be affected also by the
fact that Negroes have a daily newspaper in Atlanta.
In Columbia and Mobile combined, the white families are higher
in 6 income classes and the Negro families in five income classes,
showing that no racial difference exists between families relative to
spending for reading.
Distribution of reading expense.—The proportion of reading expense,
at each income level, that goes to newspapers,3 magazines, books, and
library and rental fees, is a point of considerable importance in
characterizing the pattern of reading expenditures.

1 No expenditure schedules were obtained from families in this income class.
2Incomes $3,500 and over.
The extreme patterns discovered in the large cities including the
metropolises are represented by New York City and Portland.4
Ninety-nine percent of what New York City families with incomes
below $1,000 spend on reading goes to newspapers. In Portland on
the other hand, about 80 percent goes to newspapers at these income
levels. At all incomes the New York City families spend proportion
ately much more on newspapers and much less on magazines than do
families in Portland.
While the proportion of total reading expense that goes to news
papers declines with increases in income, newspapers account for 50
percent of the total in New York up to incomes of $7,000, whereas
in Portland families with $3,750 make half of their expenditure for
reading matter other than newspapers.
s Newspapers include both daily and weekly newspapers, the latter being only a very small fraction of
the total.
4 See table 3, Supplement to Tabular Summary, p. 333.
48
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5-36
In Portland, interest in magazines is strong at every level, whereas
in New York City it is much more prevalent at the upper income than
at the lower ones. Whereas Portland families below incomes of $1,000
spend 20 percent on magazines while those at $6,000 spend 30 per
cent, the corresponding figures for New York City families are 1
percent and 20 percent.
In both cities, however, the buying of books follows the same pat
tern. Proportionately (and actually) little is spent on books at the
lower incomes. This percentage, however, increases with income so
that at incomes of $3,500 the percentage spent on books is about 10,
which increases to 20 percent at about $5,000.
At comparable incomes, there do not appear to be any significant
differences in the distribution of reading expense between small,
middle-sized, and large cities, at least in the East Central area.6 In
the metropolitan cities of Chicago and New York on the other hand
a relatively large proportion of reading expenditures goes for news
papers. Since the percentage going to books does not vary markedly
from one city to another, the difference is found in the money spent
for magazines. At all incomes families in the small cities, middlesized cities and in Columbus spend a higher proportion on magazines
than did families in Chicago.
There are several possible explanations for these differences in buy
ing newspapers and magazines. The habit of buying two or three
papers daily is much more common in the metropolises and large cities
than in the smaller cities where the small populations do not support
so many dailies. While there are some differences in prices for daily
and Sunday editions of newspapers as between cities, there are also
variations within cities, and a study of these price differences does
not indicate that they explain much of the intercity differences dis
covered. More light will be shed on these differences as we study
the expenditures for newspapers and magazines in the various cities,
to a discussion of which we now turn.
It is possible that differences in library facilities in different cities
may be a factor in explaining differences in reading expenditure.
Wilson has pointed out however that the circulation of national
magazines is highest in States where library facilities are best.6
Newspaper expense in metropolises and large cities.—There are inter
city differences in expenditures for newspapers, which become more
pronounced as income increases, as between New York City, Chicago,
and six large cities.7 At the very low incomes, below $1,000, the ex
penditures for families in the various cities are not very clearly differ
entiated. Even at these low incomes, however, New York City is

higher than Chicago, Chicago is higher than Atlanta, and Atlanta is
higher than Columbus.
In one respect expenditures for newspapers follow a pattern similar
to that for expenditures on movies. As income increases, the propor
tion spent on newspapers decreases so that at the very high incomes
only about 35 percent of the total reading bill is for newspapers. In
other words, newspaper buying cannot be expanded indefinitely, but the
buying of magazines and books can be extended, if not without limit,
certainly to a great extent.
The cities surveyed fall in three fairly well defined groups as regard
newspaper buying: in the top zone of expenditures are the two metrop
olises, in a middle zone are Atlanta and Providence, while in the bottom
group are Columbus, Omaha, Denver, and Portland. As we inferred
in a previous paragraph, these zones are much better defined above
incomes of $2,000 than they are at lower incomes.
The differences between newspaper expense in New York City and
the other cities is considerable. We may take expenditures in Colum
bus as an example:

Even at the lowest incomes newspaper expense, which as we have

the six groups of middle-sized cities vary greatly in then average ex
penditures for newspapers as shown by the lines of expense.8 The
lowest line of expense is represented by families in Springfield-Dubuque
while the highest two among the groups of middle-sized cities are
Muncie-New Castle-Springfield and Haverhill-New Britain. About
midway between these two extremes is Columbia-Mobile. Average
expenditure in Haverhill-New Britain starts at about $8.50 at income
$500 to $750, rises to $14.50 at income $1,500 to $1,750, and levels off
slightly to about $21 at income $4,000 to $5,000. At the other ex8 The equations of these regression lines and how they were obtained are given in appendix G, p. 367.

The highest expense curve in this set is that for families in the small
New England cities, a curve which is significantly higher than that for
families in the small East Central cities studied. The former curve of
average spending is very close to that for Chicago, and indicates ap
parently a metropolitan pattern of buying newspapers.
$10, and $14.
M a g a zin e expense in m etropolises a n d large cities. —W ithout excep
tion, the straight line gives an accurate picture of the way family buy
ing of magazines increases with income in all 16 cities or city groups.9
For this item the straight line expresses a pattern which is a good
approximation to the expenditures for all but the very highest
incomes, where it will give somewhat higher values of average expense
than those actually obtained.
The eight larger cities show both similarities and differences relative
to family buying of magazines. New York, Chicago, Providence, and
Atlanta are very much alike with respect to the increase in expense
for an increase in income. For an increase of $100 in income the aver
age increases in magazine expenditures for these four cities are 20
cents, 22 cents, 21 cents, and 22 cents respectively. The correspond
ing amount for both Columbus and Omaha is 26 cents, that for Denver
is 27 cents, while that for Portland is 32 cents.
Magazine expense is a relatively small expense item in the budget
of urban families. At an income of $1,000 the maximum value
^Portland) is slightly over $2, while the minimum value (Chicago) is
40 cents. At an income of $3,000, the highest value is almost $9
while the lowest is one-half of this.
M a g a zin e expense in the sm all an d m id d le-sized cities. —The middlesized cities fall into two groups relative to magazine expense. The
low expense group includes middle-sized cities in four eastern and mid
continental areas; the highest expense group are the cities io the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Northwest regions (Butte-Pueblo, and x^berdeen-Bellingham-Everett).9 The Butte-Pueblo line is practically
the same as that of Portland.
With the far western cities ranking one and two among the large
cities as well as among the middle-sized cities, there seems to be a real
regional difference in spending for magazines. Thus the data for the
middle-sized city group in New England shows an increase of 23 cents
in magazine spending for an increase in income of $100, while families
in the Rocky Mountain and the Pacific Northwest area show increases
of 32 and 37 cents respectively.

From the data it appears that there are at least three groups of
cities, each with fairly similar lines of expense for magazines. In the
low group are New York City, Chicago, Atlanta and Providence. In
the middle group are Columbus, Omaha and Denver, while at the top
is Portland.
The evidence indicates a likely, though not clear-cut, difference
between the two small city groups with the New England group
again spending more than the East Central group.
The six small and middle-sized cities define a zone whose midline
is close to but below that for Columbus. This would seem to indi
cate that these cities as a group tend to spend more than the two
metropolises and two large cities ranking low in figure 6.
What the family spends for books.—Books bought for school use or
for occupational use are excluded from this accounting. Books given
within the economic family are included under family expense for
books, but expense for books bought as gifts for persons outside
the family is excluded. It seemed impractical to secure the value
of books received as gifts from persons outside the family and, since
books are very frequently given as presents, the total expense for
new books brought into the family is somewhat understated on the
basis of these figures.
On the basis of this definition we find that most families will spend
less than 50 cents a year on books. Stated another way, we find
that in 2 cities incomes have to be above $1,750 before an average of
$1 or more is spent on books; in 3 cities the dividing line is $2,500,
while in 1 city only 1 of 13 income classes averaged more than $1.
New York City families at every income class spend more for books
than do Chicago families; similarly Denver outspends Providence,
and Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett exceeds Haverhill-New Britain.
As a matter of fact, all cities, including the two small city groups,
exceed Haverhill-New Britain (table 22). Furthermore, both Denver
and Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett exceed Chicago at every com
parable income save one.
Library and rental fees.—By far the most common averages appear
ing in the Tabular Summary of library and rental fees by income class
and city are those of 10 cents or less. These are averages for 12
months. The highest average obtained was that of $76 for New York
City families with incomes of $10,000 and over. In the income class of
$7,500 to $9,999, however, the yearly average was $3.60 for New
York City families and $2.40 for Chicago families, or 30 cents and
20 cents, respectively, per month, for these fees.
However, the low average both for expenditures for books and for
library rentals can mean but one thing: That most families are spend
ing nothing on either books or on library and rental fees.

The reader, however, should be cautious in drawing inferences from
these data. While it is true that the amount of expenditure reflects
to a certain extent the family interest in books, it alone is not enough
on which to base a judgment. Much will depend upon the local
public library, how well it is stocked, and how accessible it makes its
books to the public.
Chapter IV
W hat the Family Spends for Tobacco
As pointed out in chapter I, on the average, the families covered in
the Urban Series of the Consumer Purchases Study, spend more for
tobacco than for reading, and except at the high incomes, more for
tobacco than is spent directly by individual families for education.
Indeed, at low incomes average tobacco expense generally equals or
exceeds that for recreation and that for contributions, and hence is
one of the most important of the minor items of urban family expense.
In 83 percent of the income classes of white families in all cities studied,
the average amount spent for tobacco is more than the averages for
newspapers and for movies combined.1 In no city was there a majority
of income classes where the opposite relation was true, and in many of
the income classes where the difference was in favor of movies and
newspapers, this difference was small.
T otal expen ditures fo r tobacco. —Average expenditures for tobacco
by income class show very few differences between cities.2 As a
matter of fact, the various groups of cities appear to be very much
alike, and in view of the fluctuation of the average expenditures not
very different one from another between incomes bounded by $750
and $10,000. At an income of $1,000, an average of about $30 will
be spent for tobacco, at twice this income about $45, at $3,000 close
to $60, at $5,000 approximately $75, while at an income of $10,000
about $100 will be spent for this item. These averages are based upon
the families reporting tobacco expense, not on all families.
C om parison o f tobacco expense by w h ites a n d N egroes .—Negro families
in Atlanta and those in Columbia-Mobile are very much alike relative
to average expenditure per family for tobacco in each income class
(table 23). Negro families in Columbus, Ohio, spend much the same
as those in the southern cities just mentioned. On the other hand,
Negro families in New York City spend more per family for tobacco
at every comparable income class than do similar families in Columbus.
In general more is spent per family by the white families than by the
Negro families in these cities. In New York City the average ex
penditures of white families are higher in 9 out of 11 income classes,
the differences between the paired averages ranging from $2 to $28.
1 These comparisons are based on averages computed on the basis of all families, not only on those
reporting expenditures; see appendix J, p. 383, showing how the 83 percent was computed.
2 See appendix G, p. 367, for equations of tobacco expenditure lines for selected cities.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 1935-36
In Columbus, Ohio, the white families have the larger averages in all
nine comparable income classes, the differences between the paired
averages ranging from $4 to $24. In Atlanta the white families are
ranked higher in 8 of the 11 income classes, while in Columbia-Mobile,
they are higher in 9 out of the 11 income classes. This is consistent
evidence from independent sources that the white families have higher
average expenditures for tobacco than do Negro families whether the
comparison is made in northern or in southern cities.

Proportion of families reporting tobacco expense.—How prevalent
among native white American families is the habit of smoking? In
view of the trends in the tobacco industry, the frequency of smoking
as indicated by the proportion of families reporting tobacco purchases
is of considerable social and economic interest.
Families in New York City and in Portland represent the two ex
tremes among the cities surveyed in prevalence of family buying of
tobacco, as shown in table 24. On the average the percentage of
families per income class buying tobacco in New York City was 14
points higher than the corresponding percentage in Portland. With
regard to cigarettes, the tendency was the same, New York City
families exceeding Portland families by an absolute difference of the
same amount, 14.
In terms of proportion of families reporting tobacco expense,
Providence, New York City, and Chicago rank high, the average of the
percentages for all income classes above $1,000 being very close to 90
percent. On the other hand, the Denver percentage is close to 80
percent, and that for Portland still lower at about 75 percent.

Both cigar smoking and smoker’s supplies are reported by a smaller
proportion of families in Portland than in New York City. “Other
tobacco”, including pipe tobacco as its main item, is reported more
often in Portland for incomes below $3,000 but more often in New
York City for incomes above $3,000.
The average number of packages of cigarettes purchased per family
per week, based on families buying cigarettes, shows New York City
and Providence with the highest consumption, Portland with the
lowest consumption among the large cities and Springfield-Dubuque
with the lowest consumption among the small and middle-sized cities
(table 25).
These averages indicate that cigarette buying does increase with
increase in income so that at the very high incomes, above $7,500,
the average .consumption per family buying will be about twice that
at the very lowest income.
At the very low levels of buying, the average rate appears to be
about 2 packages in 3 days while at an income near the median of
urban families, $1,250-$ 1,500, the average is about 4 packages in 5
days. In New York City, where the highest consumption per family
prevails, the average rate is one package or more per day at every
income class above $1,000-$1,250.
The intercity differences are revealed in the relative numbers
shown in the right hand section of the table where the average
consumption of Portland families was used as a base, and set equal
to 100. These relatives show that New York City and Providence
exceed Portland in 11 out of 13 income classes, while Dubuque-

Chapter V
W hat the Family Spends Directly for Education
The fact that education is furnished free by tax-supported schools,
sometimes through college graduation, explains in large part why less
than one percent of the expenditures of the family goes directly to
this item. At low incomes, families rely on the public-school system,
and hence below incomes of $2,000 they spend on the average less
than $10 annually. At incomes above $5,000, education expense
runs well above $100 annually, accounted for by the fact that the
younger children may be attending private schools while the older
youths are going to college where tuition alone may be several hundred
dollars per year.1
V a rio u s ja c to rs exp la in differences in direct expense f o r edu cation .—
So many factors are involved in accounting for family outlays for
education that comparisons between cities and regions are of little or
no importance so far as fa m ily expenditures are concerned.
We know, for example, that greater proportions of youth will attend
college if there is a local junior college than if there is no such local
college. Hence, we expect family expenditures for education in college
cities like Columbia, South Carolina, to be higher than noncollege
cities of the same size.
Again, the average family expense for education as such is affected
by the extent to which a parochial-school system parallels the publicschool system. The cost to families supporting the former will appear
as expense for education, whereas the cost of the public-school system
is paid for by taxes derived from a variety of sources.
Furthermore, the cost to the family will be influenced by whether
or not text books are furnished free and whether any special fees are
collected from high-school students.
Hence many of the differences observed between cities are not
necessarily due to any inherent differences in the family interest in
buying of educational service, but rather reflect the differences in the
educational structure and opportunities which exist between the
various cities.
F a m ily typ e is a fa c to r. —Then there is the factor of family type, a
factor much more important in accounting for variations in education
expense than either city or occupation. That this is true can be
1 These averages are based on all families, not only on those spending for education.

seen by an examination of the various family types. Family type I
contains husband and wife only. We find, therefore, only a negligible
amount spent on education by these families; in income class after
income class families in the sample had no education expense whatever.
Family types II and III contain husband and wife and 1 and 2 children
under 16 years of age respectively. Here again most of the educa
tional expense will be for special lessons and what incidentals school
attendance requires. Family types IV and V contain members over
16 years of age, in addition to husband and wife, and larger outlays
for college, technical, and special commercial courses are likely.
Hence, we can expect, and do find by test, significant differences
between family types at given incomes.2
City differences exist.—That differences exist between cities are shown
by the average expenditures for education in selected cities given in
table 26.3
In general, the average amounts spent in the three middle-sized
cities of Muncie-Springfield-New Castle, Columbia-Mobile, and
Springfield-Dubuque are higher and at most incomes much higher
than those spent by families at similar incomes in New York City and
Chicago. In addition, in all but two income classes SpringfieldDubuque families spent considerably more than did families in
Muncie-Springfield-New Castle. No doubt much of the explanation
of the relatively high expenditures in the former city group is found
in the comprehensive parochial-school system in Dubuque.

1 This high average is due to the fact that one family spent $300 on education.
Education expense in metropolises and large cities.—The two metrop
olises show no consistent or significant differences in view of the
variability which the average expenditures show.
2 See appendix I, p. 378, for tests relating to this point.
3 See also appendix I, p. 378, for results of tests made on total education expense. While family type
appears to be the most important factor in explaining direct education expense, still in addition the different
cities contribute significantly to the variation of this expenditure.
WHAT THE FAMILY SPEND'S DIRECTLY FOR EDUCATION
59
Among the six large cities, Portland families on the average spend
the most, being highest in 9 out of 13 income classes and high in the
other 4. Furthermore, at most incomes, Portland families spend
considerably more than the next highest city group of families. Next
to Portland, Denver families rank high, exceeding the other four large
cities in 9 out of 13 income classes, and ranking second in each of the
other 4.4
At the other end of the list are Providence and Omaha. In Provi
dence the average expense for education is relatively small at the low
incomes, but the averages increase rapidly as income reaches the
higher levels. In other words, direct spending for education is limited
more to the upper income classes. This contrasts with Portland
families, where education expense was relatively high at all the
incomes covered, including all those between $500 and $1,500.
Omaha also tends to be low at the upper incomes, whereas Colum
bus and Atlanta families spend the least at the upper incomes.
It is obvious that interpretations of city differences, as was indi
cated before, depends on many factors. One of these, the furnishing
of free text books, is relevant. We find that in 1935-36 the following
cities furnished free text books throughout the elementary and highschool grades: New York City, Chicago, Providence, Columbus, Ohio,
Atlanta, and Omaha. In Denver books were supplied to the elemen
tary and junior high schools but not to the senior high schools. In
Portland, Oreg., free text books were furnished through grammar
schools; in high schools they were supplied only to pupils certified as
indigent.
Education expense in the middle-sized cities.—The education expend
iture lines for the six middle-sized cities show that among the five
cities outside of New England, there is a common pattern of spend
ing by income class.4 In view of the variability of the average ex
penditures for education the difference between the lines for AberdeenBellingham-Everett and Springfield-Dubuque is not of any significance.
There is little doubt, however, about Haverhill-New Britain, which
is the lowest of the six cities in 10 out of 12 income classes. Further
more, the small cities in New England show a very similar line with
relatively low expenditures at the low incomes and relatively high
outlays at the upper incomes. It will be noted further that Provi
dence exhibited the same type of line, suggesting a possible differ
ence between these New England families and those in other parts of
the Nation relative to education expense.
Education expense of white and Negro families compared.—Negro
families in New York City show the lowest average expenditures for
4
See appendix G, p. 367, for equations of regression lines for total education expense and how they were
obtained.
60
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6
education, while those in Columbia-Mobile average the most in the
four groups of families studied (table 27). From these data it appears
that the Negro families surveyed in the southern cities were spending
more on the average, income class by income class, than those studied
in the northern cities. The tendency of average education expendi
tures to increase with increase in income, prevails among Negro
families no less than among white families.
The most significant point in table 27 is not what the Negro families
spend for education but that in Atlanta and in Columbia-Mobile these
families spend more on the average than do the white families. This
is true at every comparable income class except one in each of these
cities.

In the East Central cities surveyed, regardless of size, books and
supplies form the highest percentage of expense below incomes of
$1,500. Above this income tuition is the principal item, although in
Muncie-Springfield-New Castle expense for board and room at
school is the major expense above incomes of $3,500.5 Furthermore,
there is evidence to show that with a decrease in the size of the city
in which the family lives, there is a decrease in the proportion spent
on tuition. On a percentage basis, Chicago families spend more on
tuition at every income than do families in the small and middle-sized
cities in the same region. At most incomes tuition takes half or more
than half the education expense. In Columbus few income classes

are close to and only one exceeds the 50-percent line, while in the
middle-sized cities the highest percentage (39 percent) is reached at
income $3,000-$3,499. In the small cities families at the two highest
incomes spend more than 50 percent of the total education expense for
tuition.
In most income classes above $1,000-$ 1,249 and in all four groups
of families, at least 10 percent is given over to special lessons which
include instruction in music, dancing, swimming, bridge playing,
golf.
In Chicago nothing is spent on board and room at school by families
surveyed below incomes of $2,500, while in Columbus the corresponding
income is even higher, $3,500. In the middle-sized city such expense is
appreciable at income class $1,750-$ 1,999, and increases with income
and accounts for half or more of education expense. In the small
cities practically nothing is spent on room at school but beyond
incomes of about $1,000, with one exception, about 20 percent is
spent on board at school.
Families reporting education expense.—Since many public school
systems, especially those of the large cities, furnish free both books
and supplies, family expense for education in these cities tends to be
limited to special lessons, vocational courses, and higher education.
This means that relatively few families at the low incomes will have
any direct education expense.

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
This fact, as well as others, is illustrated in table 28 by the per
centages of families reporting some direct education expense.
Striking differences between cities are also evident. The cities in
cluded in the table represent the extremes in the cities studied. Of the
large cities, Portland, Columbus, and Chicago rank high with New
York City and Providence ranks low—even lower than the small East
Central cities. Moreover, Providence is much lower than New York
City, and its percentages increase much more rapidly with income
than do those of any other city. The city group with the highest
percentages is Springfield-Dubuque due in large part to the fact al
ready noted that the latter city has a comprehensive parochial school
system.
Chapter V I
What the Family Contributes to Individuals and to
Agencies
The importance of contributions.—In our first chapter we indicated
that contributions made by the family, excluding taxes, constitute
an appreciable proportion of the total family spending, a proportion
which may be as high as 10 percent in the upper income classes.
By contributions are meant direct outlays of money from which no
direct material return is expected. Support of community chest and
welfare agencies, support of relatives not in the economic family,
donations to friends and others not related to the family, support of
the church and associated religious activities 1 and spending for per
sonal gifts to persons outside the economic family are included under
contributions. Donations to the first three groups just mentioned are
of the nature of private welfare or relief to needy individuals and
families.
The fact that both relief and non-relief contributions are found at
all income levels, though in different degrees indicates that giving is
characteristic of all families, even of those with such meager incomes
that they cannot maintain a decent standard of living.
Contributions in metropolises and large cities.—The average amounts
of money contributed by families to these relief and nonrelief needs
increase rapidly with increase in income class.2
The significant point is not that cities are different but that they
are so much alike. Not only is that true of the cities within each
group, but it is true of both groups of cities. City size appears to be
of minor importance in influencing the direction and level of the line
of contributions. This does not mean that city size is of no import
ance in explaining differences in average contributions or certain
divisions of contributions. Table 29 shows that Chicago ranks lowest
compared with the other cities in the East Central area at every
income class between $750 and $3,000, but no difference exists between
Columbus and the middle-sized cities.
For the metropolises and the large cities, the average expenditure
for New York City is fairly close to the middle of the zone formed by
the averages of 10 cities, and hence might be taken as representative
1 Contributions made to the church but for the expressed purpose of community welfare are included
under the latter classification.
2 See Supplement to Tabular Summary, p. 336. Average contributions are based on all families, not
only on those reporting contributions.
63

64
of how the average contributions increase with income class. Using
this line we find a contribution of $10 at an income of $750, one of $50
at an income of $2,000, one of $100 at an income of $3,000, one of $500
at an income of $7,500, and one of $1,000, at an income of $11,000.

Some differences between cities should be pointed out. In 13 out
of 15 income classes New York City families have higher average con
tributions than do families in Chicago, the differences ranging from
$1 to $115. Atlanta families exceed Columbus families in 11 out of
13 income classes, the differences in most income classes being con
siderable. Providence also exceeds Columbus in 11 out of 13 income
classes, the former city having a contribution line approximately the
same as that of Atlanta. Another city in the same group with Atlanta
and Providence is Denver which exceeds Columbus in 12 out of 13 in
come classes. Denver, however, exceeds Providence in 9 out of 13
income classes, while it exceeds Atlanta in only 6 of these income groups.
The families in these three high ranking large cities also average
more for total contributions than do families in Chicago. Chicago is
exceeded by Providence in 10 out of 13 income classes, and by both
Atlanta and Denver in 11 income classes. Atlanta exceeds New York
City in 8 out of 13 income classes.
Contributions in small and middle-sized cities.—In the middle-sized
cities, families in Muncie-Springfield-New Castle have the lowest
average contributions by income class. Using these averages as a

classes by families in other cities: 3

These comparisons show that the small cities average more than the
lowest city in the middle-sized group. A comparison of the two groups
of small-city families, however, indicates that a significant difference
may exist between them.
A real difference exists between the families in Columbia-Mobile
and those in Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett. The latter group exceeds
the former for all incomes below $1,250 and above $2,500, by amounts
ranging from $5 to $50, while the southern group of families are
definitely higher between $1,250 and $2,500.
In the small and middle-sized cities contributions averaging $10
are associated with incomes ranging between $600 and $800, those
averaging $50 are associated with incomes of $1,700 and $2,000,
those of $100 with incomes of $2,500 to $3,000, while those of $1,000
are reached only beyond incomes of $8,500.
Average contributions of white or Negro families.—From incomes of
$500 to $3,500 we find Negro families in both Atlanta and ColumbiaMobile making higher contributions on the average than Negro
families in New York City (table 30). This holds true in both the
former cities in eight out of ten income classes.
In New York City the Negro families are higher in six income
classes and the white families higher in five, evidence counter to a
hypothesis of racial difference in average amounts of total contribu
tions. In Columbus, Ohio, however, the averages for the Negro
families exceed those of the white families in 8 out of 9 income classes.
In Atlanta the Negro families exceed the white families in 8 out of 11
income classes with the differences ranging from $2 to $17. In
Columbia-Mobile the situation is the same, the average contributions
made by Negro families being higher than the corresponding averages
for the white families in 8 out of 11 income classes. This is consistent
and cumulative evidence from independent sources supporting the
hypothesis of a higher average amount of contributions per income
class among the Negro families than among the white families studied.
The probability that such ratios as — — and — arose from chance variations of paired values [not sig13 13 13
nificantly different], in every case is less than 5 in 100. In other words, there is little likelihood that these
ratios were obtained from two cities where the actual ratio was 1 to 1. This test is further evidence that
average contributions in Muncie-Springfield-New Castle are significantly lower than those in ColumbiaMobile, Springfield-Dubuque, and Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett.

Major divisions of contributions.—Contributions to individuals and
to agencies, excluding taxes paid to the government, are divided into
the following specific items: contributions to church and religious
activities, contributions to community chest and welfare, support of
relatives outside the economic family, donations to others, and per
sonal gifts such as flowers, candy, and toys, to those outside the
economic family.
The metropolitan pattern of giving.—The pattern of giving among the
families in the two metropolises, New York and Chicago, is char
acterized by the sharply decreasing proportion of total contributions
that goes to the church, and the sharply increasing proportion that
goes to the support of relatives. This tendency is noticeably more
marked among New York City families than among those in Chicago.
In both cities the proportion that is spent for personal gifts is fairly
constant at all incomes and much the same in both cities, 25 percent
being a good estimate. On the other hand the proportion going to
community chest and welfare, while constantly increasing, never
exceeds 15 percent.
It is obvious from these charts that these metropolitan families at
every income level, including even those below $1,000, are contributing
heavily to private relief, most of which is for the purpose of supporting
their relatives. In New York City, families in income class $500-$749
contributed an average of $1.60 to the support of their relatives; at
income class $1,750-$1,999 they contributed $8.20, at $4,000-$4,999
they contributed $91, while those with incomes of $10,000 and over
averaged $314 for the support of relatives. The corresponding figures
in Chicago are no expense, $8.40, $92, and $714.
WHAT THE FAMILY CONTRIBUTES TO INDIVIDUALS
67
Large-city patterns oj giving.—There appear to be two patterns of
giving in the large cities surveyed, one represented by Providence,
Omaha, and Denver, and the other represented by Atlanta, Columbus,
and Portland (fig. 6). The first group is characterized by a declining
proportion of the total contribution that went to the church, a respect
in which these cities are similar to the metropolises. In these cities
a larger proportion goes to to the community chest and welfare, with
the lower income classes contributing a greater proportion of their
total contribution to this cause than was the case with families in
similar income classes in New York City and Chicago.
Gifts also account for a larger proportion than they did in the
metropolises, helping to account for the lower proportions that went
to the support of relatives, although this was not so true of Omaha as
of Providence and Denver.
Atlanta, Columbus, and Portland present a pattern of contributions
significantly different from that of the other large cities and the
metropolises.4 The pattern of these cities, shown in figure 6, is
characterized by the relatively constant proportions in which the
money contributed is allocated to each of the major divisions. This is
more true of families in Atlanta than families in the other two cities,
but each shows the tendency to a greater or lesser extent.
This difference is due in large measure to the fact that in these cities
the proportion to the church, instead of decreasing with income
remains much the same throughout all incomes. Furthermore, the
proportion to the church is lower in Portland than any other city,
20 percent being an average figure below incomes of $5,000 and 15
percent above this level
In Atlanta the percentage is a little higher, being slightly more than
30 percent on the average. In Columbus this figure is 35 percent
below incomes of $2,500, and slightly less than 30 percent for incomes
above this level. These percentages of contributions going to the
church, compared with those for other cities, are relatively low for the
low incomes and relatively high for the high incomes. We shall find
that Atlanta families rank first in the average amount contributed to
the church at practically all income classes except the very lowest.
Families in Portland spend proportionately (and actually) much less
on the church than do families in Atlanta or any other city, but this is
counterbalanced by relatively higher spending for gifts and donations
to relatives in need of help No large city except Atlanta shows such
a high proportion of contributions going to the support of relatives at
so many income levels.
Columbus families exhibit, though in a less striking way, this same
general pattern of giving. In this city, however, we find a definite
4 See Supplement to Tabular Summary for percentage division of gifts and contributions for New York
City, Chicago, and the six large cities.
68
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6
tendency for the proportion to personal gifts to decline as income
increases and for that to the support of relatives to increase.
Size of city as a jactor in giving.—There appears to be a real differ
ence between the metropolises on the one hand and some of the middlesized cities on the other. But examination of the percentage patterns
for cities of different size in the East Central area—Chicago, Columbus,
Muncie-Springfield, Illinois—New Castle and the small cities show
no consistent change in pattern from the metropolis to the small
cities of about 10,000 population.
Common elements.—Certain common tendencies should be noted.
With the exception of Atlanta and Portland, all cities show declining
percentages for church contributions as income increases. In the
metropolises this decline continues right up to the highest income
class but in the large cities it flattens out beyond incomes of $2,000
or $3,000, while in the small and middle-sized cities the percentages
are fairly constant after incomes of $1,000 or $1,500 are reached.
Gifts follow no common pattern; in Providence they increase in
percentage as income increases, while in Columbus and Denver they
decrease in percentage as income increases.
Private relief and other welfare.—In addition to the large amount of
tax-supported relief to unemployed and distressed families in 1935
and 1936, there was considerable private relief given by American
families at every income class (table 31). By private relief is meant
money contributed to the support of relatives, donated to individuals
outside the economic family, and given to the community chest or
to local private welfare and community recreation agencies.
That the money contributed by the American families studied is
considerable can be seen by a glance at the averages.5 In the metrop
olises the average amounts at income class $500 to $749 were $1.60
for New York City and 30 cents for Chicago. At income class $1,250
to $1,499, the corresponding averages were $2.00 and $4.80; and the
amounts increase rapidly with income until at incomes over $10,000
the two averages are $472 and $963.
The families in the six large cities do not deviate much from this
pattern of giving. The exception is Atlanta where these contributions
were higher at the low incomes and somewhat lower at the high incomes
This reflects much more generous giving among Atlanta families
below incomes of $2,500 than among families with similar incomes in
the other cities indicated in table 31.
6 Regression lines were also fitted to these expenditures. See appendix G, p. 367, for the equations of average
expenditures by income in selected cities,

The differences between these cities is reflected also in the propor
tion of total money expense of the family that went to the private relief
of others. In table 32 the percentages show that contributing in
Chicago is more pronounced among the high incomes whereas in
Atlanta and Portland it is more characteristic of the entire population.
In Atlanta every group of families with incomes of $750 and over
gave 1 percent or more of its money outlay to private relief. Portland
families gave 1.5 percent or more beginning with income class $1,250
to $1,499. In Chicago, a value of 1 percent was not reached until
income class $2,500 to $2,999.
Welfare contributions in the small and middle-sized cities.—The data
showing how welfare contributions increased with income shows
even smaller differences than we observed in the large cities and
metropolises. However, certain differences may be noted. Haver
hill-New Britain and Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett represent two ex
tremes as regards the rate at which contributions increase with
increase in income. The latter city shows higher contributions at
low incomes while the former has higher average values at the upper
incomes. Up to incomes of $2,500 Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett
ranks highest while beyond this income Butte-Pueblo is highest.
On the whole the average amounts of money contributed by fami
lies in all these cities, whether large or small, seem to follow a fairly
similar pattern as income increases. While it is true certain differ
ences exist, as a group the cities are much more alike than they are
different as regards the habit of giving for private relief.

1 Includes support of relatives outside economic family, donations to adult persons not in economic family,
and contributions to community chest and welfare agencies.
2 Less than 0.05 percent.
3 Incomes of $7,500 and over.
Community chest and other welfare agencies.—One of the items in
contributions to private relief and welfare is that of community chest
and welfare. Included under this heading are contributions to the
Red Cross, veterans’ organizations, the Salvation Army, the Y. M.
C. A. and Y. W. C. A., Girl Scouts, Police Boys’ Clubs, and similar
groups providing recreational and educational facilities as well as
relief.
Community welfare in the larger cities and even in the smaller
ones having become the work of special agencies cooperating through
a central organization—the community chest—makes a study of
family contributions to this particular agency of interest to citizen
and social worker alike.
The fact that cities of the same size but in different regions over
lapped so much, with certain exceptions, led to a study of the average
family contributions to community chest and welfare for the cities
of the same size taken as a group as indicated in table 33.6
The steepest line, that for New York City, indicates that little is
given at low incomes but considerable at high incomes; it is quite
clear that what the lower 50 percent of the New York City families
(incomes below $1,750) give to community chest or welfare is almost
negligible.
As a matter of fact, this is very likely to be the case in all cities,
although in the smaller cities the proportion contributed by poorer
families will be greater because there are few if any very high income
families to contribute.

welfare organizations for groups of cities of different sizes.

4 Incomes $7,500 and over.
Families reporting contributions.—The frequencies with which
families contributed to community chest and welfare and to the sup
port of relatives are shown in tables 34 and 35 respectively.
In 13 out of 15 income classes higher proportions of Chicago families
contribute to community welfare than do New York City families.
Chicago in turn is exceeded by Atlanta families in all comparable
income classes, while Atlanta itself is exceeded by Columbus, Ohio,
in all but two income classes. Furthermore, there is some indication
that Portland families below $2,500 exceed those in Columbus. This
is evidence that not only does a difference exist between the two
metropolises in the proportion of families contributing to the needy
in the community, but a difference exists between the large cities.
Families in the middle-sized cities in the East Central area respond
to requests for community welfare to about the same extent as fami
lies in Columbus which is in the same area. The small East Central
cities fall between the metropolises on the one hand and these three
large cities on the other.
An item of even more importance than community welfare so far
as money outlay by the family is concerned, is support of relatives.
While a smaller proportion of families indicated that they were
helping their relatives than contributing to community welfare, still
the amounts of money involved are much greater.
Up to incomes of $3,000, larger proportions of families in Atlanta
and Portland report aid to relatives than do families in any of the
other cities. Another point of significance is the increase in per
centages as income increases, a tendency observed in all cities. Even

WHAT THE FAMILY CONTRIBUTES TO INDIVIDUALS
73
In this respect Chicago is not at all like New York City but more
like the small and middle-sized cities. The difference between the
large and middle-sized cities as groups may or may not be of any
consequence. The middle-sized cities show considerable variation
among themselves, Haverhill-New Britain being very near the line
for the small cities.
Some interesting differences may be noted. In the large and
middle-sized cities an income of $2,000 is associated with a contribu
tion of $5, but in Chicago at this income the contribution is one-half
as much, and in New York City one-fifth as much. A contribution
of $10 in the small, middle-sized, and large cities is associated with an
income of about $3,000. A similar amount is contributed by metro
politan families at incomes $1,000 greater. At incomes of $6,000,
those in the small cities average $50, but those in Chicago only $20.
Contributions of $100 are associated with incomes of $8,000 in small
cities, $9,000 in New York City and in middle-sized cities, $12,000
in large cities, and $14,000 in Chicago.
Church contributions in the metropolises and large cities.—Another
important agency in the community, to which the family contributes
is the church and various activities associated with it. Contributions
of the family to the church for welfare purposes are included in the
previous section on private relief, while those for educational purposes
are included under education expense.
That there are tremendous differences between the various metrop
olises and large cities is obvious from a glance at table 36.7 New
York, Providence, and Atlanta families spend most, the latter families
being high at all incomes above $2,000. Up to incomes of $4,500
Denver families are low, while beyond this income those for New
York City are low.
The several cities fall into groups according to the rate at which
contributions increase with income. Atlanta is first, followed by
Providence, Columbus and Omaha, as a group, although the first is
somewhat higher than the last. Chicago comes third followed by
Denver and Portland, and finally New York City completes the list.
It should be observed that the relative increase in New York City is
less than in other cities; contributions in that city start at a higher
level in the lower income groups and do not reach as high a point
in the upper income classes.
At almost every income class Atlanta families spend almost twice
as much as those in Portland. At $1,500 Atlanta families spend
$16, Portland families spend $9; at $2,000 the corresponding figures
are $24 and $13; at $3,000 they are $41 and $21; at $5,000 they are
$75 and $38; at $7,500 they are $116 and $49. These figures illustrate

' Average contribution based on all families, not only those reporting contributions to the church.
2 Incomes $7,500 and over.
Church contributions in small and middle-sized cities.— The middlesized cities exhibit the same wide variations in average contributions
to the church as do the large cities.8 At the top is Springfield-Dubuque
with the highest contributions at every income class above $1,500,
omitting from consideration the small cities in the East Central area.
Next in line but everywhere lower is Muncie-Springfield-New Castle.
Then comes Columbia-Mobile followed by Haverhill-New Britain and
Butte-Pueblo, which are very much alike. Finally at the bottom of
the list with the least contributions above incomes of $1,500 is
Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett.
This latter city group fits into the western city pattern since ButtePueblo is low as were Portland and Denver in the large city group.
The line for Columbia-Mobile, however, is much lower than that for
Atlanta, indicating no doubt some intercity differences in the South
east area.
The two small city groups are strikingly different, the contributions
made by families in the East Central area being considerably higher
than those made by families in New England.
Personal taxes.— This classification of family outlays gives a very
incomplete picture of the taxes which a family has to spend. In the
first place taxes allocable under other categories of expense are ex
cluded from personal taxes. These include real estate taxes charged
8 See appendix G. p. 367, for the equations of lines of average family contributions to the church,
75
WHAT THE FAMILY -CONTRIBUTES TO INDIVIDUALS
to housing and automobile taxes, chargeable to automobile expense.
In addition all sales and excise taxes hidden or unhidden are included
under the expenditures of the items thus taxed.
Another factor making intercity comparisons difficult is the wide
variations in tax methods used in middle-sized and small cities which
have been combined. In 1935-1936 Indiana had a state income tax
but Illinois did not, although Muncie in the former State and Springfield in the latter State have been combined.
Personal taxes as used here will be largely income taxes, personal
property taxes, poll taxes, and occupation taxes.
Tables 37 and 38 give the average amounts of these personal taxes
for the sixteen city groups included in the survey. Several points of
interest are shown by these data.
Personal taxes as defined in this study are relatively low at most
incomes but increase rapidly as income increases from $3,000 up to
$10,000 and over. This tendency is much more pronounced in some
cities than in others, and much more among the metropolises and the
large cities than among the smaller cities.
There are some striking differences between cities of different sizes
in the same area. Haverhill-New Britain is higher than Providence
in 10 out of 12 income classes. At every income class the averages
for Columbus, Ohio, are only a minute fraction of those for MuncieNew Castle-Springfield. Dubuque-Springfield is higher than Omaha
at every income class although some of the differences are very small
(less than one dollar).

FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 193 5 -3 6
Up to the income level of $2,500 Atlanta exceeds Columbia-Mobile
but beyond this point the reverse is true. Denver and Butte-Pueblo
are very much alike but Portland unlike the other large cities has
averages above incomes of $1,500, higher than those in AberdeenBellingham-Everett.
The two small city groups are widely different, the averages for
every income class in the New England cities being in most income
classes but one half or a third of those in the small East Central Cities.

Chapter V II
Intercity and Interitem Comparisons
Intercity patterns in recreation.— The cities covered by The Study
of Consumer Purchases: Urban Series in the Pacific Northwest show
the highest total recreation expense at almost every income class.
This is due in part to the fact that belonging to social and recrea
tional clubs appears to be more prevalent in the western part of the
Nation than in the eastern part. This is borne out by data reported
by Wilson 1 who has collected data which show that membership in
the Rotary, Kiwanis, and Lions Clubs is much more common west
of the Mississippi River than east of it. Furthermore, a similar
though not so striking sectional difference exists relative to member
ship in the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts.
In these northwestern cities, movie expense is considerably less
than in large cities in the East, but this is more than offset by the
much higher expense in the Western cities for games and sports of a
participating type.
Contrast between New York City and Portland.— Throughout the
discussion of these five categories of expense, we have often found
families in New York City and those in Portland at opposite ends of
the expenditure scale. A summary of how these two groups of fam
ilies rank relative to Chicago and the other large cities is given below
for several items and groups of item s:

Only when we come to contributions do the two sets of families
show anything approaching similar characteristics.
In many instances we have found families in Denver and in the
middle-sized cities in the Pacific Northwest following lines of expen
diture similar to those of Portland families. On the other hand, we
1 Louis R. Wilson, The Geography of Reading, University of Chicago Press, 1938.
78
FAMILY EXPENDITURES IN SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
have found Providence to be similar to New York City relative to
expenditures for several categories. That the New England families
may follow similar buying habits irrespective of the size of the com
munity is shown by the several instances in which the families in the
small New England cities were much more like those in the larger
cities in the same area than they were like the families in the small
East Central cities.
In tercity p a ttern s in readin g. — There is a wide difference in news
paper expense. From the three eastern cities— New York City, Provi
dence, and Atlanta—were reported the highest expenditures and
from the three western cities of Omaha, Denver, and Portland the
lowest expenditures for newspapers.
The western families, however, spend considerably more on maga
zines than do those in the East, a finding in harmony with data re
ported by Wilson on the circulation of 47 leading national magazines.
There is no evidence that the public-library facilities tend to restrict
the amounts spent for books; as a matter of fact, cities with about
the same facilities spend widely different amounts for books. For
example, families in Haverhill, Mass., and New Britain, Conn., at
given income levels spent extremely little on books, while those in
Aberdeen, Bellingham, and Everett showed the highest average ex
penditures obtained in the cities of about 50,000 population.
In tercity p a ttern s in con tribu tion s. — No outstanding differences exist
relative to contributions; quite the contrary, a considerable degree of
homogeneity exists among the various cities, the only variants being
New York City and Atlanta, the former showing little being contrib
uted at the low incomes, and the latter showing just the opposite.
Contributions to the church are lowest in the Northwestern cities
and highest in Atlanta, Dubuque-Springfield, and the small cities in
the East Central area. These data indicate that high-average con
tributions are not limited to any one denomination.
S pecific cities. — Expenditures of New York City families except for
contributions to the church, indicate relatively small expenditures at
the incomes below $1,500 and relatively high expenditures at the
higher incomes.
The averages for Springfield-Dubuque are low on recreation ex
pense, low on reading, high on education, high on contributions—
reflecting the influence of the church in the secular as well as the
religious life of the latter city.
The fact that families in Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett rank high
est or high on expenditures for recreation, reading, education, and
contributions raises the question of whether these large outlays are
at the expense of balancing the family budgets. On this point the
evidence shows that these families do not have the largest budget
deficits, but rank near the middle of all the cities surveyed. One
INTERCITY AND INTERITEM COMPARISONS
79
possible answer is found in the low percentage of income going to
housing, this city group having the lowest housing expense of all the
cities covered in the Urban Series. It would appear, therefore, that
what is saved in housing is spent on recreation, reading, and contribu
tions.
Interitem comparisons.— The amounts families spend on specific
items such as movies, club dues, newspapers, magazines, community
welfare, and church give one an insight into the relative importance
attached to these items at various incomes, importance being meas
ured in terms of the average amount of money spent for each.
To illustrate this point we select newspapers and movies and in
dicate for these 16 cities and city groups the income class at which
and beyond which, movie expenditures exceeded newspaper expense:

Expenditures for newspapers were consistently greater than those
for movies at the lower income levels studied, whereas at the higher
incomes expenditures for movies were greater. The income interval
at which movie expenditures exceeded those for newspapers varied
from city to city. At the $1,000-$1,249 income level, expenditures
for newspapers were still greater than those for movies in all the
metropolises and large cities studied. At that income level, however,
in three of the middle-sized city groups and in small East Central
cities, movie expenditures exceeded those for newspapers. At the
next higher income class, movie expenditures were greater in New
York, in three of the six large cities, in four of the six middle-sized
city groups and in the small East Central cities. Movie expenditures
did not exceed those for newspapers in Chicago, Omaha, and the small
New England cities until incomes reached $1,750-$1,999.
Tobacco expenditures alone were greater than those for movies
and newspapers combined, in 83 percent of the income classes repre
sented by white families in 16 cities or city groups.
Comparing club dues with magazines we find some wide variations
among the various cities. At every income class in Haverhill-New
Britain, and at every income class save one in the small New England
cities, the expense for club dues exceeds that for magazines. Except
for the three income classes below $1,000, the same is true in the small
East Central cities. Omitting these three cities we find that in
general below the income class of $1,750-$ 1,999, families are spending
more on magazines than on club dues, and with the exception of New
80
FAMILY EXPENDITURES'
IN
SELECTED CITIES, 19 3 5 -3 6
York, Atlanta, and Omaha, more on club dues above income class
$2,250-$2,499.
A comparison of the expenditures for movies and the contributions
to the church at various income classes and for all the cities surveyed
shows that the church is still receiving generous support even in the
face of commercialized recreation. In table 39 the facts are sum
marized, showing at what incomes contributions to the church exceed
spending for movies. Providence and Omaha among the large cities,
Columbia-Mobile and Dubuque-Springfield among the middle-sized
cities, and the small cities in New England, at practically every
income class have higher contributions for the church than expendi
tures for movies. At the other extreme are the two metropolises where
at most incomes more is spent on movies.

The rank of specific items.— The rank of nine specific items of ex
penditures, including two dealing with contributions, gives one some
idea of the relative importance these items have in the family budget.
The order of these items is not accurate for all incomes but the ex
ceptions are noted. The item with the highest average expenditure
is ranked first:
1. Tobacco (exceeds church contributions in all cities and all incomes except last
one or two income classes in six cities, and last three, four, or five incomes in
four cities).
2. Church.
3. Movies (above newspapers except at the lower incomes).
4. Newspapers.
5. Games and sports (tend to exceed newspapers and movies at very high
incomes).
6. Community chest and welfare.
7. Magazines (exceed community chest in Portland, Haverhill-New Britain,
Butte-Pueblo, Aberdeen-Bellingham-Everett, and two small city groups
except at the higher incomes).
8. Club dues (exceed magazines beyond incomes of $2,000 and at very high in
comes equals or exceeds games and sports).
9. Books, excluding books bought for school or occupational use.
