PREFACE
This volume on “ Family Income in Nine Cities of the East Central
Region” is one of a series of reports dealing with incomes and expendi
tures of families surveyed by the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics in the Study of Consumer Purchases in 1935-36. The
reports which have already been released deal with family income in
Chicago and in selected cities of the Pacific Northwest, New England,
and Southeastern regions of the United States.1
The study of family income in nine East Central cities was part of
an investigation conducted in 1936 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
in 32 cities varying in size, and representing different sections of
the country. It 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. Both surveys, which
together constitute the Study of Consumer Purchases, were admin
istered under a grant of funds from the Works Progress Administration.
The National Resources Committee and the Central Statistical Board
cooperated in the Nation-wide study. The plans for the project were
developed and the administration was coordinated by a technical
committee composed of representatives of the following agencies:
National Resources Committee, Hildegarde Kneeland, chairman;
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Faith M . Williams; Bureau of Home
Economics, D ay M onroe; Works Progress Administration, M ilton
Forster; and Central Statistical Board, Samuel J. Dennis.
The general purpose of the investigation was to throw light on the
patterns of consumption prevailing among families of different income
levels, occupations, and family types. The information will be pre
sented in special reports dealing with the economic distribution of
families in the different communities, and with the consumption of
commodities and services.
This bulletin on the East Central cities deals with the distribution
of the families according to income, occupation, and family composi
tion. It serves as a necessary background for the concluding volumes
which indicate how families apportion their expenditures among vari
ous goods and services.
The need for information bearing on buying capacity, expenditure
patterns, and consumer preferences has been partially met in recent
years by specialized studies intended to satisfy specific requirements
of business units or public agencies which have sponsored them. A
number of surveys of income and expenditures have been undertaken

in the past by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with particular refer
ence to the families of wage earners and salaried workers. But such
studies, each made with a different purpose in mind, have not pre
sented any comprehensive outline of American consumption with all
of its important implications for the more rational operation of the
economic system.
The present study of consumer purchases differs from any previ
ously undertaken in that it is designed to cover a large enough num
ber of families to allow for comparison, not only between different
sections of the country, between urban and rural communities, and
between cities of different size, but also between families at different
income levels, and, within any given income level, between families
of different composition and occupational group.
In view of the fact that responsibility for certain parts of this
survey was shared by persons outside the regular staff of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, the Bureau takes pleasure in acknowledging the
services of Charles H. Chase and Elizabeth Champe, associate
regional directors; G. H. Pittenger who served as check editor; and
the following persons who served as supervisors in the various cities:
Helen R . Stearns, Columbus; Minnie Landau, M uncie; Helen B.
Dodani, Logansport; J. F. Arnston, Peru; Deryl J. Case and John M .
Posegate, M attoon; Margaret Teopfer, New Castle; Le R oy Clements,
Springfield; M aude Butterton, Connellsville; Louisa K . Fast, Beaver
Falls.
Acknowledgment is also made to Frances W . Valentine, Jesse R.
W ood, Jr., and William Loudon, who were in charge of computation
and tables; Joseph A. Smith in charge of machine tabulation; Marie
Bloch, Ethel Cauman, Verna Mae Feuerhelm, and Lenore A. Epstein,
who were in charge of editing and review.
The present volume on East Central communities is concerned
with the distribution of the families by income, occupation, and
family composition. The succeeding volume will analyze the manner
in which the family incomes were spent.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics wishes to acknowledge the assistance
received from interested individuals and civic bodies, both within and
outside the Government, in addition to the agencies mentioned above.
Particular acknowledgment is due to two groups whose collaboration
must be recognized as having made the studies possible: The W . P. A.
workers who performed the field collection and office tabulation of
the data, and the members of the households interviewed, who con
tributed the time and effort required to answer the detailed questions
in the schedules.

In tr o d u c tio n
Lying between the highly industrialized and urbanized East and
the sparsely settled and preponderantly agricultural West, the East
Central area as defined for this study partakes of the character of each.
Beaver Falls, Connellsville, and New Castle, in the southwestern
corner of Pennsylvania, are situated within one of America’s most
highly industrialized regions, an area dominated by the iron and steel
industry which centers at Pittsburgh. The six other cities, Columbus,
Ohio; Springfield and M attoon, 111.; and Muncie, Logansport, and
Peru, Ind., lie in the corn-producing belt of America.
The Nation-wide Study of Consumer Purchases, which included
both urban and rural families, covered 2 metropolitan communities;
6 large cities averaging 300,000 inhabitants (of which Columbus is
one); 14 middle-sized cities of 30,000 to 75,000 population (of which
Springfield, New Castle, and Muncie are examples); 29 small cities
of from 8,000 to 20,000 persons (included in this group are Beaver
Falls, Connells ville, Logansport, M attoon, and Peru); 140 villages;
and 77 farm counties.1
Altogether 18 income classes are differentiated in the analysis of the
populations, ranging from families having less than $250 in current
annual income, to those with $10,000 a year and more. In addition
to the wage-earner, clerical, and farm groups, which have been the
subject of previous investigations, the current study included pro
fessional and business categories, both salaried and self-employed,
as well as families whose incomes were not dependent upon an occu
pation. Families have been classified according to their composition
into types varying from single individuals to families containing
seven or eight persons, account being taken not only of the family
size but also the ages of its members.
The plan to classify the information obtained by the Study of
Consumer Purchases into these major groups has determined both
the number and types of families interviewed. In Columbus, income

information was secured from a random sample equivalent to 40
percent of the family population. In the three middle-sized com
munities the survey covered 50 percent, and in the five small cities
all of the resident families were interviewed.2
The E a s t C entral r eg io n .— The States of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania, in which these nine East Central cities are located, rep
resent the western section of that broad region located north of the
Ohio and Potom ac and east of the Mississippi River. Outside this
region, to the west and the south, the country is predominantly agri
cultural. Within the region, in general, the States become more highly
urban and industrialized as one moves toward the eastern seaboard.
Besides serving as urban trading centers for surrounding farm coun
try, some of the cities surveyed are also highly industrialized. Lying
at the crossroads of shipping lanes of the South, East, and West, the
East Central area is covered by a dense network of railroads. As a
result, numerous cities in the region contain railroad shops and serve
as major shipping points. In five of the cities studied in the region
over one-eighth of the workers in 1930 were employed by the steam
and street railroads. Bituminous-coal mining is also found in several
sections and exerts an important influence on two of the nine cities.
The cities su rv eyed .— The cities selected for study in the East Central
region provide diversity of size and type of industrialization. It is
important to bear in mind their relative positions in the region. For
while there are nine cities, the population of Columbus alone is greater
than the combined populations of all the others. The smallest five
cities together constitute only one-seventh of the aggregate popula
tions of the nine cities.

The addresses of families selected for interview were drawn from the address list of the most recent city
directories in these nine East Central cities (see appendix A, Sampling Procedure in Nine Cities of the
East Central Region). All white families interviewed which contained a husband and a wife both of
whom were born in the United States, who had been married at least 1 year, and who maintained house
keeping quarters, were asked to give the information on income and related items listed on the family sched
ule. In Columbus, Negro families having these characteristics also were requested to give the income
information (see appendix A for eligibility requirements). In addition, a small random sample of all of the
remaining families, i. e., foreign born, those not containing husband and wife (including one-person house
holds), and other color groups, was also asked to give the income information. (See appendix A for dis
cussion of the comprehensive sample.) In order to compute the estimates of income for the community
as a whole, it was necessary to weight the income data of this small sample to take account of the different
sampling ratio from that used for native white families containing both husband and wife. In the present
report, therefore, the distributions for all nativities combined represent estimated figures, but, as is indi
cated in the sampling discussion of the appendix, there is reason to feel that these estimates are fairly close
to the true distribution.
Method of investigation.—While the detailed analysis of collection procedure and the problems arising there
in will be the subject of a separate publication, it is desirable to include a brief explanation at this point.
The information was secured by the schedule method, through visits to families. Following the inter
view, the information obtained was carefully checked for consistency as well as for accuracy and complete
ness. A random sample of the schedules of every agent was also rechecked by members of the supervisory
staff who reinterviewed the families.
The total family income figure was obtained by summing up the figures reported on income received from
specific sources. Specific questions bearing on the positions held by each employed member of the family,
the number of weeks of employment, the rate of pay, the dividends from securities held, interest from prop
erty, and the amounts received from roomers and boarders and the nonmoney value of owned homes,
yielded the figures from which the total family income was built up.

T w o capital cities. — Columbus, Ohio, and Springfield, 111., are both
State capitals and have many characteristics in common.
C o lu m b u s , O h io , with its 75,621 families (1930 census), is not only
the capital of the State, but it is the location of Ohio State University.
M any national firms maintain branch or main offices in this city.
Thus the number of white-collar workers employed in this city runs
high as compared with all other communities surveyed in this region
except Springfield.
Approximately one-third of the gainful workers enumerated in the
1930 census were classified in the manufacturing and mechanical
industries of which the metal industries were very important. Onefourth were in clerical, professional, and public service while another
fourth engaged in trade, communication, and transportation.3
Columbus is located in a predominantly rural area— 84 percent of
the urban family population of the county in which this city is located
reside in Columbus.
As to nativity and color composition of this city, 8 out of every 10
families are native white, while the foreign white and Negro groups
each constitute about 1 out of every 10 families (1930 census). N o
one foreign group predominates— the Germans, Italians, Russians, and
British all are well represented in the foreign segment of the population
of this city.
S p rin g field , III., like Columbus, is the capital of its State, and as
such has many characteristics in common with the other capital city,
despite the fact that it contains only one-fourth as many families
(18,745 in 1930). It is located in the center of the State and is sur
rounded by a rural area in which horse and cattle breeding is an
important source of revenue. Comprising two-thirds of the total
population of the county in which it is located, Springfield contains
the entire urban population of the county.
Besides serving as a trading center for the farm population, Springfield also contains a well diversified group of industries. Situated in
the midst of the Sangamon County bituminous-coal mining area, 9
percent of the gainful workers of this city were classified as coal-mine
operatives. Twenty-eight percent engaged in manufacturing and

mechanical industries, and as in Columbus, 25 percent were associated
with trade, transportation, and communication. Professional service,
public service, and clerical occupations likewise engaged 25 percent of
the gainful workers in 1930.4
As in Columbus, four-fifths of the families enumerated in 1930 were
white with male heads born in the United States. There were rela
tively more foreign born, however, and fewer Negroes in Springfield
than in Columbus. Approximately 16 percent of the families were
foreign born, primarily of German or British origin, while 5 percent
were Negroes.
M u n c i e , I n d ., sometimes referred to as a “ typical small American
city,” is highly industralized although located in a predominantly
agricultural region. The 46,548 inhabitants enumerated in the 1930
census comprise the entire urban population of the county in which
Muncie is located.
Over one-half (51 percent) of the gainful workers were associated
with the manufacturing and mechanical industries in 1930. The
automobile, iron and steel, clay, glass, and stone works were the
most important of these industries. Trade, transportation, and
communication accounted for 22 percent of the gainful workers while
clerical, professional service, and public service engaged approxi
mately 17 percent of the workers.6
Except for 6 percent Negro and 2 percent foreign-born white fami
lies, the residents of Muncie were native white according to the 1930
census.
Three in d u stria l c ities .— New Castle, Beaver Falls, and Connellsville
(located in the Pittsburgh coal and iron region) have many char
acteristics in common despite the fact that New Castle is a middlesized community with approximately three times the population of
the other two communities. These three cities will be referred to as
the “ industrial cities” because such a large portion of their working
population is associated with the basic iron and steel and coal indus
tries. The surrounding area, also, is highly industralized with an
urban population.
N e w C astle , P a ., the largest of the three Pennsylvania cities studied,
contained 11,715 families in 1930.
One-fourth of the gainful workers in 1930 were attached to the
heavy metal industries. The railroad industries and wholesale and
retail trade each engaged another 13 percent of the workers. Clay,
glass, and stone works provided employment for approximately 6 per
cent of the gainful workers.
Two-thirds of the families enumerated in 1930 were native-born
white persons while slightly less than one-third were foreign-born.

The Italians, Poles, English, Czechs, and Rumanians were the most
prevalent of the various nationalities living in this city. Only 3 per
cent of all persons were Negroes.
B ea ver F a lls , P a ., is located about 10 miles from New Castle in the
Beaver Valley district. Strictly speaking, this district, which in
cludes Beaver Falls, New Brighton, Rochester, Beaver, and adjacent
villages, should be considered as one community, since their eco
nomic and social interdependence is so pronounced. One system of
each public utility supplies the entire valley. Furthermore, many
workers live in one town and work in another. A number of the
more highly paid executives in Beaver Falls, for example, live in the
suburb of Patterson Heights. On the other hand, a great many
persons living in Beaver Falls are employed in the other communities
in the valley. Also, Pittsburgh, which is 30 miles distant, draws
several hundred commuters every day from Beaver Falls and the rest
of the cities in this area for employment there.
According to the 1930 census, 26 percent of all gainful workers were
attached to the heavy metal industries. Six percent were associated
with the railroad industry. The Beaver River is not navigable,
but on each bank a four-track railroad system has been built. Two
main railroads thus serve the city, while the passenger-train yards
provide employment to many of the inhabitants. Another 5 percent
of the gainful workers were attached to the clay, glass, and stone
industries, while 4 percent engaged in lumber planing and furniture
manufacturing. Altogether, approximately half of the workers in
Beaver Falls were associated with manufacturing, building, and mining
industries.
In 1930 Beaver Falls contained 4,145 families. As in New Castle,
two-thirds of these families were native-born white while the remainder
were largely foreign born (29 percent). Only 4 percent of the families
were Negroes. The most prevalent foreign nationalities were the
Italians, Poles, Germans, Czechs, and Hungarians.
C on nellsville, P a ., situated in the coke and coal-mining section of
southwestern Pennsylvania, is, like Beaver Falls and New Castle,
a highly industrialized community. Its population in 1930 numbered
3,190 families— with more than three-fourths of the heads of families
born in the United States and the remaining fourth primarily foreign
born— both southern and northern Europeans being represented.
Less than 4 percent of all families were Negroes.
Twenty-three percent of all gainful workers enumerated in 1930
belonged to the railroad industry. Five percent engaged in mining,
while another 10 percent were in the steel, clay, glass, and stone indus
tries. Of the remaining three-fifths of the gainful workers, the largest
element was engaged in wholesale and retail trade. The beehive coke
ovens, closed since 1929, reopened about December 1936, so that the

coke industry for which Connellsville became known employed more
persons than was indicated by the 1930 census enumeration.
T h ree sm all cities in agricultural a rea s .— Logansport and Peru in
Indiana and M attoon, 111., have sufficiently similar economic struc
ture, population composition, and location to warrant their being
referred to as a unit in some of the analyses of this volume. All
three cities are situated in predominantly rural regions, and serve as the
commercial centers for the surrounding country. Each city has one
dominant industry— the railroad— while wholesale and retail trade
engage as large a proportion of the workers in these small cities as in
the large cities of Columbus and Springfield.
L o g a n sp o rt , I n d ., a city with slightly more than 5,000 families, is a
railroad trade and manufacturing center located in a predominantly
rural setting in North Central Indiana. The railroad industry claimed
one-fifth of its gainful workers in 1930. Another large group (16
percent) of the workers were engaged in wholesale and retail trade.
A number of plants manufacturing corsets, electrical equipment, wire,
coil springs, and machines employed 100 to 500 workers each during
the year of the Study.
The great m ajority of families (92 percent) enumerated in 1930
were native white, while 6 percent were foreign born— chiefly Germans
and Italians, and less than 2 percent were Negroes.
M a t t o o n , iZZ., like Logansport, is a railroad center situated in a rural
area. During the period between M arch 1 and December 1 there is a
good demand for farm labor, and from the middle of August to the
middle of October the broom-corn cutting requires all labor which is
available locally. For this reason, the proportion of families in
M attoon, as well as in Logansport depending primarily upon farm
occupations is much larger than in the other cities surveyed in this
region.
Fifteen percent of all gainful workers enumerated in 1930 in M attoon
were attached to wholesale and retail trade. This city serves as a
distributing center for strawberries which have been shipped there by
railroad. Inspection and re-icing of the strawberries as well as routing
to various points is thus an important seasonal occupation in this
community.
Of the 3,854 families reported in the 1930 census, 97 percent were
native-born white families. Thus the foreign-born and Negro groups
were not sufficient in number to warrant any analysis in the present
report.
P e r u , I n d ., a small city of 3,557 families (in 1930), resembles M at
toon and Logansport in several respects. It is located in an agricul
tural region in North Central Indiana along the Wabash River. Also,
it is a converging point for railway lines. One-seventh of the gainful
7
IN T R O D U C T IO N
workers enum erated in 1930 were associated w ith the railroad in
dustry.
A s in the other two cities, approxim ately 15 percent were
engaged in wholesale and retail trade.
M e ta l industries, to which
7 percent of the workers belong, were also as im portan t in Peru as in
the other tw o cities.
Peru differed from th em , how ever, in th at the
lum ber industry was m u ch m ore im portant— engaging approxim ately
8 percent of all gainful workers as contrasted w ith less than 1 percent
in the other two com m unities in 1930.
N in e ty -fo u r percent of all fam ilies reported in the census were

Chapter II
Family Income
A n understanding of the econom ic structure of our society, particu
larly of consum ption and distribution, presupposes a know ledge of
how incom e is apportioned am ong the fa m ily population since a
m a jo r portion of consum er goods are purchased for the fa m ily as an
econom ic unit.
T hrou gh data collected in the S tu d y o f C on sum er
Purchases it is possible to describe in considerable detail for a particu
lar year, 1 9 3 5 -3 6 , the distribution of fam ilies am ong incom e classes
ranging from less than $250 to over $ 1 0 ,0 0 0 .
F am ily incom e is closely related to a num ber of factors, which
m u st be considered in its interpretation.
T h irty dollars a week for
a fa m ily of seven holds a m eaning som ew hat different from the same
th irty dollars for a fa m ily consisting of husband and wife.
A ga in ,
th irty dollars a week in a co m m u n ity where fresh fruits and vegetables
are abundant and cheap, or where land is plentiful and housing costs
relatively low , is n ot exactly the sam e as th irty dollars in a congested
city where food and housing take larger shares of incom e.
T h e innum erable factors w hich interact w ith incom e m a y be divided
into those internal and those external to the fa m ily.
F a m ily size,
the num ber of su pplem en tary earners, n a tiv ity and color, and the
presence or absence of both husband and wife are internal fa cto rs;
while local price structures, housing conditions, and the like are
external factors which u ltim ately determ ine the real m eaning of dollar
incom es.
T h e relation of incom e to internal fa m ily differences form s
the su bject m a tter for this bulletin.
F a m ily incom e requires careful definition.
A bon d sold or m on ey
drawn from the principal of bank savings to provide for the fam ily
living obviou sly gives rise to receipts of m on ey, bu t of a kind different
from wages.
Sim ilarly fam ilies m a y enhance their current purchasing
power b y borrow ing.
F a m ily incom e as analyzed in the S tu d y of
C onsum er Purchases is current incom e, consisting m ain ly of wages
and salaries, the earnings of the self-em ployed, interest and dividends,

from equity in owned hom e (like
interest and dividends, essentially a return on sa v in g s).1
While family incomes as high as $10,000 were found in the nine
cities of the region, the great majority lay in the so-called lower
income classes. Taking as the average a point (the median) above or
below which half of the families in a city fall, the average income was
slightly above $20 a week, or about $1,000 annually. In the five small
cities with populations of 13,000 to 19,000, the median income ranged
from $936 (in Mattoon) to $ 1 ,0 9 8 (in Beaver Falls); in the three
middle-size communities with populations of 4 7 ,0 0 0 to 7 2 ,0 0 0 , the
medians amounted to $ 1 ,0 6 9 in New Castle, $ 1 ,2 2 6 in Muncie, and
$ 1 ,2 7 4 in Springfield; but in the largest city, Columbus (population
2 9 1 .0 0 0 ) the m edian incom e was $ 1 ,3 1 6 .
As indicated earlier, city size as a factor in family income must be
considered along with an analysis of industrial structure. The popu
lation of Columbus, for example, is four times that of Springfield, but
its median income is only $42 greater. Conversely, Muncie and New
Castle have approximately the same size of population (47 ,0 0 0 and
4 9 .0 0 0 ) but the median income of the former ($ 1 ,2 2 6 ) is over $ 1 5 0
higher than the average of the other ($ 1 ,0 6 9 ). Furthermore, Muncie’s
median income fairly approximates the averages in Springfield and
Columbus, while that of New Castle falls in line with those of the small
cities containing less than half as many inhabitants.
Grouping the nine cities of the region b y the four industrial types
described in the in trodu ctory chapter, the consistency of the m edian
incom es is so m arked th at the highest average of cities of one structure
is lower than the low est of another.
C olu m b u s and Springfield, the
“ ca p ita l” cities, have the highest m edian incom es ($1 ,3 1 6 and $ 1 ,2 7 4 ).
T h e m edian incom es of N ew C astle, B eaver Falls, and C onnellsville,
“ industrial” cities, ranging from $ 1 ,0 4 3 to $ 1 ,0 9 8 , are follow ed 'by
those of L ogansport, M a tto o n and Peru, “ agricultural” cities, which
rank from $936 to $ 1 ,0 3 3 .

1 Family income, as the term is used in this study, includes the sums received by the family from the
following sources:
1. Money earnings, including wages and salaries of all members of the economic family (after the deduction
of occupational expenses); net money incomes of independent business and professional earners insofar as
these were withdrawn for family spending; and estimated net income accruing from roomers and boarders
and from casual work done in the home.
2. Money income other than earnings, including dividends and interest received from stocks and bonds and
savings accounts; net rent (after deduction of maintenance expense) from real estate other than the home;
profits actually received by the family from businesses owned but not operated by members of the family;
amounts received on pensions and annuities; money gifts for current use received from persons other than
members of the economic family, along with miscellaneous items such as alimony and gambling gains;
such amounts received from inheritances or the soldiers’ bonus as were used for current expenditures.
3. Nonmoney income from housing, including the estimated rental value of living quarters received in
payment for services (such as might be received by a minister, a resident manager, or a janitor); and imputed
income from owned homes, amounting to the difference between the total rental value of the home and money
expenses for interest on mortgages and estimated money outlay for taxes and repairs. See glossary, appendix
B, for further definition of income.

occupies an intermediate position between the “ capital” and
“ industrial” cities.
These relationships of income and industrial structure in large part
are due to differences in the occupational composition of the cities.2
While wage-earner families occur less frequently in Columbus and
Springfield, for instance, professional and salaried business families
are more numerous. As the average income of the latter group of
occupations exceeds materially that of the wage-earner classification,
the higher median incomes of the “ capital” cities result (see table 1
below).

While the median indicates roughly the division of families, a more
detailed distribution by income reveals that the families which
received less than $50 0 of current income for the year of the Study
represented roughly from one-eighth to slightly over one-fourth of
all families in the various cities of the region. Adding to this group
those receiving up to $1,000, the combined groups comprise threeeighths to one-half of the total. Families with incomes of $ 5 ,0 0 0
or more compose a distinctly smaller group, aggregating at the most
1 in 50 of all families (in Columbus and Springfield), and as few as
1 in 500 families (in Peru).
Fam ilies w ith annual incom es o f less than $ 1 ,0 0 0 , or slightly under
$20 a week, com prised 44 to 53 percent of the fam ilies in six of the
nine cities.
In the rem aining three cities— C o lu m b u s, Springfield,
and M u n cie— relatively fewer fam ilies, varyin g from 36 to 38 per
cent, received these low incom es.
T h e striking sim ilarity in
the
incom e distributions o f C olum bus and Springfield continues to the
higher incom e levels.
Som ew hat m ore than a quarter of the fam ilies

or exceeding $ 3 ,0 0 0 ; and slightly m ore than 2 percent, incom es of
$ 5 ,0 0 0 and over.
Muncie, as has been noted, has a distribution of income resembling
that of Columbus and Springfield as regards incomes under $1,000,

•Insufficient number of cases to permit the computation of significant percentages.
3 Within the technique of a field survey it is impossible to secure complete reports as to the net amount of
income received from all sources in the high income groups. While the number of returns showing family
incomes of more than $3,000 may be slightly underestimated, due to inability of agents to find such families
at home as well as to refusals of the families to give the requested information, the actual aggregate income
reported is probably significantly under reported.
* From the point of view of estimating the degree of economic well-being of the community it is obviously
desirable to include all families, those which remained completely self-supporting and those which received
relief either in the form of direct grants or through employment on work-relief projects. Accordingly, the
figures given in this chapter on the distribution of families by income include the relief group. From the
point of view of interpreting the position in the community of the groups covered in the family expenditure
survey, it is desirable to consider only that group of families whose incomes were drawn from normal eco
nomic activity of one sort or another, segregating those families whose incomes for the year were dependent
at least in part upon established need. This is especially true since no attempt was made in the present
study to determine the amounts received by families in the form of direct relief, either in cash or in goods.
In many tables therefore, in the present study, the income distribution shown is limited to the families
which were self-dependent throughout the year

T h e exclusion of the relief group ten ds, as w ould be expected, to
reduce the proportion of fam ilies at the low est incom e brackets and
to increase the percentage in the upper incom e classes.
T h e pro
portion of fam ilies in the highest incom e group of $ 3 ,0 0 0 or m ore,
how ever, was on ly slightly greater am on g nonrelief than am ong all
native white com plete families.
Since the succeeding bulletins on fam ily
expenditures relate
to
this restricted sam ple of nonrelief n ative w hite fam ilies containing
both husband and wife and since certain of the m ore detailed discus
sions of sources of incom e in the present volum e are confined to this
sam ple, it is im p ortan t to keep in m ind the econom ic level of this
group.
Summary
T h e m edian incom es of all fam ilies in the nine E a st C en tral cities
ranged from $936 in M a tto o n to $ 1 ,3 1 6 in C olu m b u s.
In six of
these cities, roughly one-half (44 to 53 percent) of the fam ilies re
ceived incom es of less than $20 a week or $ 1 ,0 0 0 annually.
In the
other three cities— C olu m b u s, Springfield, and M u n cie— only a little
over a third (36 to 38 percent) of the fam ilies had correspondingly
low incom es.

•ringfield, 10 percent of the fam ilies obtained incom es of $ 3 ,0 0 0 or

cured incom es of this m agnitude.
F or those cities in which there were sufficient fo reig n -b o m and
egro fam ilies to ju stify analysis, clear-cut n a tiv ity and racial differlces were apparent.
In five cities, the m edian incom es of foreign-
o m w hite fam ilies am ounted to only between 73 and 87 percent of
ae corresponding m edians for n ative-born w hite fam ilies.
In the
ixth city , L ogan sp ort, the foreign white m edian was slightly higher
han th at of the n ative w hite fam ilies.
In the six cities where co m -
mrisons on the basis of race were possible, N egro fam ilies received
nedian incom es w hich were roughly one-third to one-half as large as
h o se secured b y n ative white fam ilies.
A s m a y be surm ised from the m edian incom es, fo reig n -b o m families
were relatively m ore num erous at the lower incom e levels than were
n ative-born fam ilies.
T h e distribution of incom es of N egro fam ilies,
how ever, presents a striking departure from this p a tte rn ; no fewer
than 90 percent, and in two cities as m a n y as 98 percent of
all
N egro fam ilies received incom es of less than $ 1 ,5 0 0 for the year.
T h e absence of a married couple from the fa m ily is associated with
relatively low incom es.
In several of the cities, n ative white com plete
fam ilies obtained incom es which were approxim ately double those of
fam ilies lacking a husband and w ife ; in the other cities the difference
was only slightly less great.
T h e m edian incom es of n ative white
fam ilies which contained both husband and wife ranged from $ 1 ,1 5 5

fees of an established m edical practitioner.
T h e differences in th*

fam ilies of different com position will aid in explaining the incom e dis
parities which h ave already been observed for n ative w hite, N egro,
and foreign-born w hite fam ilies and for com plete and incom plete
fam ilies.1
F or purposes o f analysis,
the
specific occupations fro m
which
fa m ily incom e was derived have been classified in the follow ing seven
broad groups: (1) w age earner; (2) clerical and kindred pu rsu its; (3)
independent business; (4) independent professional; (5) salaried busi

families whose incom es were n o t derived from an occu p ation .2
W h e n several em ployed m em bers of a fam ily belonged to a different
occupational classification, the fa m ily was assigned to the group from
which the m a jo r portion of its earned incom e was obtained.

1While the occupational classification used in this study cannot be expected to reveal the influence of such
factors as age, training and opportunity on the rate of pay for specific occupations, it serves our purpose of
disclosing significant differences in the income patterns and thus in the expenditures of family funds.
2A description of the specific occupations included within each of these seven categories will be found in
the glossary, appendix B. The occupational classes used in the present study are based upon the Works
Progress Administration’s Manual of Work Division Procedure, Section I — Occupational Classification (June
S
1935) and Index of Occupations, Circular No. 2A (September 1935). In general, the wage-earner category in
cluded all types of skilled, semiskilled, and unskilled manual jobs which are usually paid by the hour, day,
or week, rather than on a monthly or annual salary basis. In the clerical classification were grouped store
clerks, and salesmen working for others, as well as office workers. Professional, semiprofessional, and techni
cal workers were included in the independent professional group when employed on their own account, and
in the salaried professional group when they were employed by others on a salary basis. Persons classi
fied in the independent business groups were entrepreneurs owning and operating businesses of any type.
Included in the independent business group were families which derived the major portion of their earned
Income from roomers and boarders. The salaried business category consisted mainly of salaried managers,
and officials; chief officers of corporations who draw salaries, as well as minor executives, were thus classified
in the salaried business rather than the independent business group. The seventh category, which is re
ferred to as “other” consisted of families which had no earnings from any occupation, whether due to retire
ment, receipt of a pension, nonemployment, or other causes; it also included families with incomes from
farming but residing within the corporate limits of the cities surveyed.

As might be expected farmers constituted a negligible part of this classification in the large city of Columbus
and did not appear at all in the sample in the highly industrialized cities of New Castle, Beaver Falls, and
Connellsville. It is only when the urban center is located in a rural area that farmers form a relatively
significant part of the seventh occupational group; even in these cities, however, they constitute such a small
proportion of all nonrelief native white complete families that it was not feasible to make separate tabulations
for the farm groups living in cities.

T h e inclusion
of the independent business fam ilies— whose m edian incom e is n ot
unlike th at of wage-earner fam ilies— brings the relatively high incom es
of professional and of salaried business fam ilies down to this level.
Connellsville and M a tto o n had the low est percentages of professional
and salaried business fam ilies.
In these cities business and profes
sional fam ilies considered as a whole received lower average incom es
than did the clerical fam ilies.
T h e other fam ilies, which had no gainfully em ployed m em bers
except for a few farm ers, secured only betw een $231 (C onnellsville)
and $448 (L ogan sport) as a m edian incom e for the y ear.4
Income distribution o f occupational groups,— A distribution b y incom e
o f the various occupational groups (see table 12) perm its further occu
pational com parisons and aids in an explanation of the m edian incom e
differences discussed above.
A s m igh t be expected, the concentra
tion in the incom e level o f under $500 is greatest for the w age-earner
group.
C onsiderable intercity variation is apparent, h ow ever; from
approxim ately one in ten (M u n cie) to three in ten (M a tto o n ) o f the
wage-earner fam ilies received annual incom es o f less than $5 0 0 .
In
each city a sm aller proportion o f clerical fam ilies th an o f business and
professional fam ilies, secured incom es under $500 despite the generally
lower m edians o f the clerical group.
A g a in the explanation lies in the
presence in the business and professional classification of the hetero
geneous
group
of independent
business
fam ilies— m a n y
o f which
received low incom es from such entrepreneurial activities as sm all
grocery stores, peddling, and the keeping of one or two room ers and
boarders.
B usiness and professional fam ilies w ith incom es o f less
than $500 were from one and a h alf to four tim es as frequent, propor
tion ately, as were clerical fam ilies w ith correspondingly low incom es.
O n the other han d, business and professional fam ilies attaining incom es
of $ 3 ,0 0 0 and m ore were also one and a h alf to five tim es m ore num er
ous, relatively, than were clerical fam ilies w ith incom es o f this m agni
tude.
A s m a n y as tw o o u t o f every eight business and professional
families in the capital cities of C olu m b u s and Springfield had at least
$ 3 ,0 0 0 annual incom e as com pared w ith one ou t of eight clerical
fam ilies.
In the other cities betw een 10 and 17 percent o f the business
and professional fam ilies and betw een 3 and 9 percent o f the clerical
group were in the highest incom e class.
N o t m ore th an 3 percent of
the wage-earner fam ilies in any of the nine cities received annual
incom es as high as $ 3 ,0 0 0 .

For these families, the income figure frequently does not represent all of the funds to which the family
had access for living expenses during the year. In particular, the income of those families which were
dependent primarily on direct relief, and of families which were voluntarily retired does not reflect funds
actually available since it was regarded as impractical to secure data on direct relief in the present study,
and any sums withdrawn from past savings by the voluntarily retired cannot be treated as current income.

F a m ilie s receiving relief in various occupational g r o u p s .— The median
incomes of families in the wage-earner group and of families classified
as “ other” tended to be low partly because of the inclusion of a large
proportion of relief families in these two classifications. Families
which had no earnings from occupation and which were dependent
upon direct relief would, of course, fall into the group termed “ other.”
Families which received work relief were classified on the basis of the
occupation from which the major portion of earned income was
derived— no differentiation was made as to whether the earnings
came from work relief occupation or from private enterprises or both.
A larger proportion of families of individuals whose usual occupation
is in the wage-earner classification, as compared with any other urban
occupational group, are dependent on relief, due to the larger per
centage of unemployment among wage earners and their relatively
low weekly earnings which make it impossible to build up large
savings reserves.5 In addition, since most work relief is limited to the
occupations classified as “ wage earning,” except for a few clerical and
professional projects, earners who had previously engaged in inde
pendent business enterprises, for example, might become wage
earners when working on relief projects. It may seem, then, that the
likelihood of classifying families whose chief earnings came from work
relief in the wage-earner category, results in an overestimation of the
proportion of wage earners receiving relief as compared with other
occupations. The procedure is, however, consistent with that fol
lowed for nonrelief families. The occupational distribution as given
represents the type of work from which the family earnings were
actually derived during the year under consideration, and not neces
sarily the type of work which the chief earners regarded themselves
as capable of doing or had previously engaged in. The classification
used portrays the current occupational situation.
In view of the above considerations, it is not surprising to find a
significant percentage of families in both the wage-earner and in the
“ other” classification receiving relief. In seven of the East Central
cities, the “ other” classification contained the largest proportion of
relief recipients; from one out of four (Peru) to more than two out of
four (Connellsville) of these families had been dependent upon relief
at some time during the year. In the other two cities, Logansport
and M attoon, relief families represented a slightly larger segment of
the wage-earner group than of the “ other” group. It will be remem
bered that this heterogeneous classification in these two cities in
cluded— at least for the native white complete families— a larger pro
portion of farmers than was found in the “ other” classification of the

The proportion of relief cases among these two occupational groups
was in marked contrast to that found for families of the clerical and
the business and professional persons. In six of the cities, the busi
ness and professional group contained the smallest percentage of relief
families, from 3 to 12 percent, but the incidence of relief was similar
for clerical families, from 3 to 15 percent of which had sought public
aid.

The lower incomes of foreign-born white and of Negro families may
be explained in large measure by widely differing occupational com
position. We found in chapter II that in Columbus, for instance, the
median income of Negroes was $698; of foreign-bom white families,
$1,181; and of native white households, $1,447. And now a partial
explanation is suggested by the figures for Columbus in table 14;
four-fifths of the Negro families and approximately three-fifths of the
foreign-born group were concentrated in the wage-earner occupation
as compared with slightly over two-fifths of the native white fam
ilies. Likewise, in the other cities of the East Central region propor
tionately fewer of the native white than of the Negro and foreignborn families were classified as wage earners. Correspondingly larger
proportions of the native white families than of the Negro and foreign
born, derived their incomes primarily from the more remunerative
clerical and business and professional occupations.

^Insufficient cases for computation of percentages.
Equally significant were disparities of income among the native
and color groups within the same occupational classification (see
table 15). Again in Columbus, wage-earner families in the native
white group received a median income of $1,236 as compared with
that of $1,058 for foreign born and $725 for Negroes in the wageearner classification. In the clerical and business and professional
groups also the median incomes secured by native white families
exceeded those of Negro and foreign-born white families. While it is
possible that differences in remuneration for identical work existed,
it is more likely that Negro workers engaged in the least skilled jobs
and foreign-born workers, to some extent also, in less skilled employ
ment than did native white workers within each broad occupational
group.

the analysis to native white families,
we note that in each city, a larger proportion of the complete families
than of the incomplete families belonged to the wage-earner group.
Conversely, the classification which included families with no gain
fully employed members claimed a significant number of incomplete
families (from 14 to 32 percent) but less than 5 percent of the families
with both husband and wife. The relative proportion of families
deriving their chief earnings from clerical or business and professional
occupations did not differ markedly or consistently for the complete

In the previous chapter we indicated that the median incomes of
native white complete families were approximately one and one-half
to two times as large as those of native white families which lacked a
married couple. Similar discrepancies also exist within given occupa
tional groups. From the figures in table 17, it may be seen that in the
business and professional group complete families tended to have in
comes which were at least twice as large as those of the incomplete
families but in the other occupational groups the difference was less
pronounced. Thus in Columbus, the median income of $2,223 for
complete business and professional families was more than double that
of $989 for the incomplete. In the wage-earner group, the families
containing husband and wife received a median income of $1,345, a
figure not quite twice as great as that for the families which lacked

Various explanations may be suggested for the marked differences in
income received by complete and incomplete families in comparable
occupational groups. M any of the incomplete families have lost the
male breadwinner and are dependent on family members whose
earning power is low because of such factors as age, inadequate train
ing, inexperience, etc. In addition, the incomplete group includes
single individual householders— here the number of potential earners
contributing to family income is necessarily limited to one. Further
more many of the families of business and professional persons in the
incomplete group include widows whose earned income is derived
primarily from roomers and boarders. Such activity is rarely the main
source of earnings in complete families.
M e d i a n in com es o f n o n relief fa m ilie s in variou s occu pation al g r o u p s .—
In table 18 median incomes are shown for nonrelief native white
families. This table is chiefly significant in that it indicates the
differences between various types of professional and business families.
It will be recalled that the median income of all business and profes
sional families in the native white complete group (relief and non
relief) was only slightly higher than that of clerical workers. It
becomes evident when these occupational classifications are consid
ered in more detail that the relatively low income of the combined
business and professional group is due primarily to the inclusion of
the independent business classification. Among the self-supporting
F A M IL Y
34
IN C O M E

R E G IO N
families, the median incomes of independent business families tended
to fall midway between those of wage-earner and clerical families;
the intercity variation ranged from $1,250 in Peru to $1,626 in the
large city of Columbus. As has been mentioned previously, the
business entrepreneurial class included groups such as hucksters,
rooming-house keepers, small confectionary store owners, tailors,
and others maintaining very small establishments, often in the same
building as their living quarters. It is possible also, that such families
were drawing upon the store goods (particularly food and clothing)
for family use which were not properly evaluated in estimating the
family income.

In seven of the cities the highest median incomes were attained by
families in the independent professional classification. For these
cities the median incomes of families of professional persons main
taining their own practices ($2,800-$3,361) were at least double those
of wage earners. In the other two cities, Logansport and Peru, fam
ilies obtaining their chief earned income from salaried business occu
pations received slightly higher average incomes than did the inde
pendent professional group. This does not mean, however, that the
incomes of salaried business families in Logansport and Peru were
higher than in the other cities; in fact, their medians of slightly under
$2,000 were the lowest. In the other seven cities, salaried business
families received median incomes between $2,196 (Connellsville) and
$2,766 (Springfield). Families in the fourth business and professional
group (salaried professional) secured incomes which were only slightly
lower than those of salaried business families, the range in the medians
being from $1,644 in Logansport to $2,656 in Springfield.
The median income secured by nonrelief families in the wage-earner
classification varied between $1,208 and $1,496, which may be con
trasted with the range of $916 to $1,345 obtained when wage earners
receiving relief are included (see table 17). The exclusion of relief
families in computing the median income for clerical families did not
effect such a drastic change since families securing public assistance

Wage-earner fam ilies .— W e h ave already seen th a t the n ative white

because of the exclusion of the relatively low incom e fam ilies which
lacked a m arried couple.
W ith in the n ative white com plete group,

different occupational groups.
O n ly th ree-tenths of the wage-earner fam ilies in C olu m bu s and
M u n cie— the two cities w ith the highest m edian incom es for this occu

In the other cities, from 37 percent (B eaver F alls) to 55 percent
(M a tto o n ) of the w age-earner fam ilies had less than $ 1 ,0 0 0 annual
incom e, a figure which, if averaged over the year, w ould am ou n t to $19
per week.
M a n y of these fam ilies received direct relief since, unlike
business and professional fam ilies, wage earners are seldom able to
acquire sufficient assets in m ore prosperous years to carry them
through leaner years.

Independent business fam ilies tended to be rather evenly distributed

Despite intercity variations associated with differences in the in
dustrial and economic activities of these nine urban communities in
the East Central region, similar patterns of occupational composition
were apparent. Of every 100 families, from 50 to 63 derived their
chief earnings from wage-earner pursuits; between 11 and 21 were
families of clerical workers; from 17 to 24 were in the business and
professional groups; and the remaining 6 to 11 families had no gain
fully employed members, or else engaged in farming while living within
city limits.

six- to eight-tenths of the foreign-born and six- to alm ost n ine-tenths of
the N egro fam ilies derived their incom es prim arily from wage-earner
occupations.
Differences in occupational distribution were apparent also within
the n ative white group.
O n ly 28 to 51 percent of the families which
lacked a married couple received their chief earnings from w ageearner occupations as com pared w ith 47 to 65 percent of the com plete
fam ilies.
C oncentration of the incom plete fam ilies in the classifica

fam ilies, b u t only 2 to 5 percent of the husband-w ife families were in
the group th a t had no gainfully em ployed m em bers or engaged in
farm ing.
Native-born white families obtained higher median incomes than
did foreign-born families or Negro families. In part, this was due to
the greater concentration of the Negroes and foreign-born whites in
the wage-earner classification which tends to be less well remunerated
than the white-collar occupations. But even within the same occupa
tional classifications, the median incomes secured by native white
families generally exceeded those of Negroes and foreign white families.
Of the native white group, those families which contained both
husband and wife secured higher incomes. Complete families in the
business and professional group received median incomes of $ 1 ,5 4 4
to $ 2 ,3 0 7 , amounts approximately twice as large as the average income
of families which lacked a married pair; in the wage-earner group
complete families secured median incomes of $916 to $ 1 ,3 4 5 as com
pared with $471 to $ 1 ,0 0 0 in the incomplete wage-earner group;
clerical families containing a married couple obtained between $ 1 ,3 0 9
and $ 1,851 as median incomes for the year while only $828 to $ 1 ,4 6 2
was received by clerical families lacking a husband or wife.

The emphasis of the present report has so far been on family income
rather than on the incomes of individuals, but an analysis of the mem
bership composition of the family is an essentia] part of our treatment
in that it provides an understanding of how many persons contribute
to and share in the family exchequer. When to the basic family
combination of husband and wife there is added an adult who serves
as a supplementary earner, family revenues increase. If a nine-yearold child be added instead, income is likely to remain unaffected. In a
household where the husband dies, the traditional source of support
has also been eliminated, and the effect on money receipts is drasti
cally downward.
C om plete and in com p lete f a m i l i e s .— The presence of both husband
and wife is commonly associated with the term “ fam ily.” There are,
however, many economic families of other types designated in the
present study as “ incomplete” families.1 These incomplete families
consist of widowed or separated persons, single individuals maintain
ing their own quarters, and other groups not necessarily related, which
live together, pool their incomes and share expenses.
Although some intercity variation exists, approximately threefourths of the native white families surveyed in the East Central
region contained both husband and wife. Referring to table 23, we
see that the proportion of complete families ranged from 72 percent
in Beaver Falls to 78 percent in Springfield and New Castle. Families
containing both husband and wife were even more prevalent among the
foreign-born group. For the cities having sufficient foreign-born
families to justify analysis, complete families comprised between 77
percent (Logansport) and 87 percent (New Castle) of this group.
The comparative lack of foreign single individual householders ac
counts for the larger proportion of complete families among the foreign
born. Census figures indicate that foreign-born one-person house
holders are less prevalent, proportionately, than are the native born
i The designation “incomplete family” should not be confused with that used by demographers to reier
to couples which are still in the child-bearing years and therefore may be incomplete with respect to the final
number of their children.

* Insufficient number of foreign-born families in sample upon which to base percentages.
Generally speaking the presence of a married couple in the family
indicates a more favorable income status than is attained by broken
families. In the native white group, the median incomes received
by incomplete families amounted to only about one-half or twothirds of the incomes obtained by complete families (see discussion
in ch. II). In Columbus, for example, the families which contained
both husband and wife secured a median income of $1,622 for the
year; the median for incomplete families was only $885 (see table 8,
ch. II).
A comparison of the proportions of complete and incomplete
families which received relief at some time during the year lends
support to the statement that husband-wife families are a favored
group economically. In most of these East Central cities relief
recipients were one and a half to two times as numerous, proportion
ately, among the incomplete families as among the complete. In the
three cities in the agricultural area, Logansport, M attoon, and Peru,
the percentage difference was smallest. Considerable variation
between cities is evident from the figures in table 24. Whereas 9
to 25 percent of the families containing both husband and wife had
recourse to public assistance, 17 to 39 percent of the incomplete
families received aid.

portion which received incomes of less than $500 for the year (see
table 25). The cities showed considerable variation in this respect;
families receiving incomes below $500 were from two to six times more
numerous, proportionately, in the incomplete group than in the
group of families containing both husband and wife. Comparing the
different cities, the proportion of low-income families was highest
among both family composition groups in M attoon; 23 percent of the
complete families and 45 percent of the incomplete families had less
than $500 annual income. In M uncie only 5 percent of the husbandwife families, as compared with over 30 percent of incomplete fami
lies, reported incomes under $500. The smallest proportion of low
income families in the incomplete group was found in Springfield (22
percent) but even here this percentage was more than double that for
the complete families.
Significant, also, was the greater frequency of high-income families
in the complete group. In six of the cities, the proportion of families
containing both husband and wife which attained the income level of
$3,000 and over was two to seven times greater than the percentage of
incomplete families securing incomes of this magnitude. In the other
three cities, the difference was less marked but was still in favor of the
complete families.
As pointed out above, one reason for the lower incomes of broken
families, as compared with complete families, is that many of them
were dependent on the relatively low earnings of children just entering
their economic life or on the meager earnings of a woman whose
training and ability were not adapted for employment outside of the
home. The greater dependence of the broken families upon the
earnings of women is apparent from the following figures which show
the proportion of female principal earners among complete and
incomplete native white families (relief and nonrelief):

Only 5 percent or less of the families containing a married pair
received the major part of their earned income from female principal
earners. But of the incomplete families, between two and three out
of every five were dependent upon female principal earners. Insofar
as a sex differential exists in wage rates and in types of work under
taken, a lower income for the group which relies primarily upon women
as chief breadwinners may be expected.

An additional reason for the relatively low incomes of incomplete
families may be found in the large proportion of one-person house
holders; in such economic families, the number of potential earners
was necessarily restricted to one.
One more explanation for income differences between complete and
incomplete families lies in the occupational composition of these two
groups. It will be remembered from the discussion in chapter III
that families classified as “ other occupations” in which families with
no gainfully employed members predominate were from four to eight
times as numerous proportionately, in the incomplete group as they
were in the group of families containing both husband and wife (see
ch. I l l , table 16).
F a m i ly t y p e .— The number of adults and children who contribute
to and share in the family income is of considerable importance in
determining the level of living of the family. For the purpose of
taking into account the membership composition, both in respect to

The most frequent of these family types in the native white com
plete group is that which consists of a husband and wife and no
additional members. Such families comprised approximately two- to
three-tenths of all native white complete families (see table 26). The
family type made up of only husbands and wives includes couples of
widely varying age groups and of differing income levels. Because it
contains the young newly married couple, the childless middle-aged
husband and wife, and the older parents whose adult children have

left the home, some of the families of this type have just started their
economic life, others have reached the point of peak earning capacity,
while still others are retired.
2 The above family types represent economic families; i. e.t any group ofp ersons living together, using the
same housing facilities, and pooling their incomes. The number in the family is determined by the number
of equivalent weeks with the family. More than 26 weeks in the family was necessary for persons to be re
garded as equal to 1 full-time member. A child age 15 living with the family for 12 weeks only and another
age 12 living with the family 15 weeks, would equal one equivalent person under 16. (See glossary for
further discussion of this method). The number of children per family does not refer to the number of
children ever born to the husband and wife, but to the number dependent on the family income in the
year covered by the survey.

The next most numerous type among the native-born group is that
which includes one person over 16 and possibly one other person in
addition to the husband and wife (type IV ). In fact in Connellsville, where 22 percent of the native white complete families were of
this composition, this type occurred with greater frequency than did
the husband-wife only type (type I). In the other cities, family
type IV constituted between 20 and 25 percent of the group.
In five of the six East Central cities which had sufficient cases to
permit analysis, foreign-born families including one or two persons
in addition to the husband and wife (type IV ) were more numerous
than were families containing only the married pair. From 20 per
cent (New Castle) to 37 percent (Logansport) of the foreign-born
complete families included an additional adult; family type I comprised
between 14 percent (Beaver Falls) and 28 percent (Logansport)
of the group. Great intercity variation is immediately apparent
from the figures in table 27; whereas almost two out of every three
foreign complete families in Logansport were of either type I or IV,
only slightly more than one out of three Beaver Falls families fell
in these classifications.

Further comparison of the family type distributions of the two
nativity groups reveals that families containing three or four persons
over 16 in addition to the married couple were about twice as frequent,
proportionately, among the foreign bom of five East Central cities
as among the native bom . On the other hand, in the same five cities,
families having one child under 16 years of age were proportionately
only about half as numerous in the foreign-bom group as in the
native group.
The explanation for these differences in age composition lies in the
fact that the foreign-born population, because of post-war stoppage
of immigration, is considerably older than the native, and would
consequently be concentrated to a greater extent in the family types

consisting of adults. The nativity differences stand out when we
compare the proportion of families which are composed primarily
of husband and wife and children under 16 years with the proportion
of complete families which are predominantly adult:

The greater concentration of the native complete families in the
types with children is shown by proportions ranging from 28 to 38
percent as compared with only 19 to 26 percent for the foreign group.
Conversely, the foreign-bom white families containing at least one
person over 16 in addition to the married couple had a consistently
higher percentage than the native families in these predominantly
adult family groups.
An additional comparison on the basis of color is possible in Colum

relief) follows:

The proportion of families comprised of a husband and wife only
was even greater in the Negro group than in the native white group in
Columbus (36 percent versus 30 percent). Large families (those con
taining five or more persons) also occurred with greater frequency, pro
portionately, among Negroes than among native whites. Families
containing at least five members accounted for 27 percent of all com
plete Negro families, as compared with 22 percent of the native white
and 31 percent of the foreign-born families in Columbus.
F a m ily s i z e .— The average number of persons in native white com
plete families ranged from a low point of 3.57 members in the large
city of Columbus to a high point of 4.16 persons in Connellsville. For
the other seven cities, the variation in family size of the native white
families containing both husband and wife was relatively small, rang
ing only between 3.59 and 3.84 persons per family. In general, chil
dren under 16 years of age were approximately one and one-half to two
times as numerous as adult members other than the married couple
(see tables 29 and 30). Thus, in Columbus there were, on the average
48
F A M IL Y
IN C O M E
IN
EA ST
CENTRAL
R E G IO N
357 people per 100 families. Of these 96 were children and 60 were
adults other than the husband and wife.3
Families which received public assistance during the year were sig
nificantly larger, on the average, than were self-supporting families.
In eight of the cities, the size of relief families averaged between 4.20
and 4.41 members whereas the nonrelief group contained between 3.46
and 3.65 persons per native white complete family. In the ninth city,
Connellsville, relief families had an average size of 4.62 members while
the self-supporting group averaged 4.02 persons per family. We
should expect the incidence of relief to be greater among large families
than among small if the large families are composed primarily of chil
dren rather than of adults who are potential earners. And from the
figures in tables 28, 29, and 30 it is apparent that the larger families of
the relief group do reflect the presence of more children rather than of
more persons 16 years of age and older. Whereas the number of adults
in the relief and nonrelief group is approximately the same, families
having recourse to public assistance contained, on the average from
0.59 to 0.80 more children than did the self-supporting families.

F a m i ly size and in c o m e .— Large families are not, however, confined
to the relief group but are found also at the high income levels. Thus,
for each city, the number of persons per family increased with rises
in the income scale among the nonrelief group. There is presumably
some selection of the larger families for relief, such as would lower the
average size of the family in the low-income nonrelief group. It is
significant, however, that in the cities other than Logansport and
Peru, families with incomes of $1,500 to $2,000 are smaller than those
with $2,000 or more. It is further significant that in six of the cities
families with incomes equalling or exceeding $3,000 are larger than
the average native white complete family.
Substantiating the claim that increase in family income is asso
ciated with the presence of a greater number of adults contributing
to the family exchequer, we find, among families with incomes of
$3,000 and over, an average of between 0.92 (Peru) and 1.57 (Connellsville) adults in addition to the married couple.
In Columbus, nonrelief families included, on the average, 25 adults
other than husband and wife for every 100 families in the income
class under $500; 38 per 100 at the $1,000 to $1,500 level; and 101 per
100 at the $3,000 and over level. For each of the other cities, too,
the trend in number of adults is steadily upward with increase of
family income.
Since children under 16 years of age rarely contribute to family
income, we should not expect a similar correlation between income
and the number of children in the family. In fact, families attaining
$3,000 or more income contained fewer persons under 16 years of age,
on the average, than did families with slightly lower incomes. The
average number of children in families receiving public assistance was
considerably higher than the average number of children in nonrelief
families at every income level.

FAM ILY INCOME IN EAST CENTRAL REGION
For the large city of Columbus, it is possible to compare family
size in the Negro sample with that of the native white group (see
table 31). Although the Negro complete families contained more
members, on the average, than did the comparable native white
families (3.73 as compared with 3.57 members), very little difference
in the average number of adults of the two color groups was found.
While nonrelief families in the two color groups were approximately
the same size (3.48 members for the Negroes and 3.46 for the whites),
the Negro families receiving relief contained, on the average, only 4.11
persons as compared with 4.35 members per native white family.
The average nonrelief Negro family included 0.52 adults other than the
husband and wife. Adults were slightly more numerous in the white
group; families had an average of 0.58 persons over 16 years of age in
addition to the married couple. But at the highest income level,
Negro families were considerably larger than white families, the differ
ence being due entirely to the inclusion of a greater number of adults.
To attain annual incomes of $3,000 and over, Negro families required
an average of 3.86 adults; native white families securing comparable
incomes contained only 3.01 persons 16 years of age and over.

In c o m e b y f a m i l y t y p e .— Since our preceding analysis has shown
that the size and the age composition of the family is closely asso
ciated with income, we should expect to find variation with respect
to income between the family types distinguished in this study. Data
presented in tables 32 and 33 permit a comparison by family type of
the proportions of families receiving annual incomes under $1,000
and of $3,000 and more respectively. As measured by the relative
infrequency of low-income families as well as the frequency of highincome families, families containing five or six adults (type V III)

In com es under $ 1 ,0 0 0 were less frequent also am ong families of

couple.
T y p e I V consistently ranked high in proportion of families

Fam ilies consisting of only a h usband and wife and families whose

greater concentration in the incom e levels under $ 1 ,0 0 0 than at the

T h e relatively low incom es of fam ilies of

Fam ilies containing you n g children, on the other han d, m a y
fall in the low incom e classes because the wife is n ot likely to be a
su pplem en tary earner.
Summary
A p p ro xim ately three-fourths of the n ative w hite fam ilies in the nine
cities of the E a st C en tral region contained both husband and wife.
N o t only did these com plete fam ilies receive m edian incom es which
were abou t one and a half to two tim es as large as the incom es of in
com plete fam ilies, b u t relief recipients were m u ch less num erous,
proportionately, am ong the fam ilies which included a m arried pair.
In tercity differences in the average n um ber of m em bers per n ative
white com plete fa m ily were strikingly sm all.
In eight of the cities
the average fam ily contained from 3.6 to 3.8 persons and in the ninth,
Connellsville, the average size was slightly over 4 persons.
Large
fam ilies were found both am ong the relief group and am ong fam ilies
attaining relatively high incom e.
T here was, how ever, a m arked dif
ference in the com position of the large fam ilies at these two lev els;
fam ilies receiving public assistance were large prim arily because th ey
contained several children, while the large average size of fam ilies at
the top of the incom e scale reflected the presence of additional adults.
A n analysis b y fa m ily type em phasized the relationship of fam ily
size and age com position to incom e.
Fam ilies containing five or six
adults— in other words, those fam ilies in which the n um ber of p oten
tial earners was high— attained the incom e level of $ 3 ,0 0 0 and over
abou t two to five tim es as frequently, proportion ately, as did n ative
white com plete fam ilies in general.
Sim ilarly, fam ilies receiving less
than $ 1 ,0 0 0 incom e were relatively less num erous in this “ a d u lt”
fam ily typ e in five cities.
T h e other fa m ily types containing addi
tional adults also had relatively high incom es.
Fam ilies w ith only
a husband and wife and fam ilies in which the additional persons
were children were found m uch m ore frequently at the b o tto m of the
income scale than at the level of $ 3 ,0 0 0 and over.

T h e analysis of fa m ily incom e has shown distinct difference be
tween the various social groupings of the population, both in the
pattern of the distribution and in the average incom es.
In chapter
I Y , an association was n oted between the num ber of adults in the
econom ic fa m ily and size of incom e.
N o w , in the present chapter, it
is possible to dem onstrate th at this pattern of increasing fam ily
revenues is due prim arily to
the contributions of supplem entary
earners.
To
this point, except for occasional m en tion, sources of fa m ily
incom e have n ot been particularized.
T o take a concrete exam ple, a
college instructor and his fa m ily together m a y h ave had an incom e of
$ 3 ,5 0 0 .
O f this, his salary constituting the principal earnings of the
fa m ily, contributed $ 2 ,8 0 0 .
A son, going to school, worked Saturdays
and afternoons for $5 a week except during the sum m er and added
$200 to the fam ily revenues.
H is wife, selling an occasional story to
children’s m agazines, brought in an additional $150 for the year of the
S tu d y .
T heir com bined earnings were thus $ 3 ,1 5 0 .
was 42 years old.
T h e teacher
A t age 34 he had b ou ght a hom e and invested
$ 4 ,0 0 0 to the date of the S tu d y , so th at his housing expense for the
year 1 9 3 5 -3 6 was $250 less than if he had no equ ity.
T h is $ 2 50,
designated as n on m oney incom e from housing, therefore is added to the
fam ily earnings to give a total of $ 3 ,4 0 0 .
In addition to the savings
invested in the hom e, the fam ily had also laid aside $ 5 ,0 0 0 in a savings
account w hich yielded $100 a year in interest, the balance of the
$ 3 ,5 0 0 fam ily incom e.
T h e only form s of n on m oney incom e covered in the present bulletin
are those connected w ith h ousing; th a t arising m ain ly from equity
(i. e., in vestm en t) in an owned h om e and th at occasionally occurring
in the form of rent received as p ay b y janitors, resident m anagers,
and others in similar e m p lo y m en t.1
F or m o st fam ilies, incom e is derived m a in ly from wages, salaries,
and earnings of
the

1 The most important source of nonmoney income to most families is the unpaid labor of the housewife
and, because of the inherent difficulties involved in assigning a value to these services, they are not in
cluded in the estimates of income presented herewith. Income received directly in the form of food and
fuel was not ascertained in the extensive survey of families covered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in
the Consumer Purchases Study, but does apply in computation of “adjusted income” and of “total
expenditures” in the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports on family expenditures.

T h is concept of incom e is functionally som ew h at different from the

W it h these qualifications it is possible to define num erically the
sources from w hich the fa m ily revenues were derived for the year of
the S tu d y in these nine E a st Central cities and to ascertain the rela

2The family member having the largest amount of earnings for the year is designated as the “principal
earner.”
a Receipts from “roomers and boarders” include also payments made by members of the natural family
who are not members of the economic family. Thus, there are cases where adult children are working but
do not pool their earnings. Instead, they may make a regular payment for lodging and food. If the income
of such members of the household could not be determined, they were classified as roomers and boarders
rather than as members of the economic family in the present study of family income.
4
The Logansport figure of 75 percent is weighted by one foreign family which received a large windfall
in the form of nonearned money income; if this family were omitted, 80 rather than 75 percent of the income of
foreign families would be derived from earnings.

Earnings oj nativity and color groups.6— Since the bulk of fa m ily in
com e arises from earnings, a detailed consideration of this source of
incom e is w orthw hile.
Our figures indicate th at betw een 86 and 91
percent of all earnings in the fam ilies of the cities studied are attribu
table to one person, the principal earner.
O n ly 7 to 12 percent of all
earnings is added b y secondary earners, and abou t 2 percent b y the
fa m ily enterprise of keeping room ers and boarders.
T h is does n ot
m ean, how ever, th at fam ilies h avin g secondary earners and keeping
roomers and boarders receive such a low percentage of their earnings
from such sources, b u t rather th at if spread over all fam ilies in these
com m unities, the contributions of the supplem entary workers together
w ith those of room ers and boarders am ou n t to less than 15 percent of
all earnings.
E x cep t
in
L ogansport,
foreign-born
fam ilies
had
su bstan tially
larger fractions of supplem en tary earnings than n ative w hite house
holds and correspondingly sm aller percentages of principal earnings.
Since foreign fam ilies tend to be relatively m ore frequent am ong
fam ily types containing several adults than do the n ative (see ch. I V ,
tables 26 and 2 7 ), it is n ot surprising to find a greater n um ber of
earners per fa m ily in the foreign group.
T h e N egro pattern was
erratic, the proportions of principal as well as su pplem entary earnings
being approxim ately equal to those of the n ative w hite group in
C olu m b u s, Springfield, and M u n cie, b u t m arkedly greater in the

Income sources by occupational roups.— Slight, consistent differences
from the general pattern of sources of incom e exist in the various
occupational groups.
T hese differences are related to the fa ct th a t,
at the higher incom es, hom e ownership and nonearned incom e from
in vestm ents are apt to be m ore considerable than
at the lower.
Therefore business and professional groups m a y be expected to exceed
clerical and w age-earner fam ilies in these respects.
In seven of these
cities, n ative w hite com plete nonrelief business and professional fa m
ilies received 6 percent of total incom e in the form of non m oney
incom e, while the clerical and w age-earner groups averaged 4 or 5
percent.
In every city studied in this region the proportion of incom e
derived from sources such as interest or dividends, n et rent from
property other than the owned hom e, pensions, annuities, e tc., was
greater for the business and professional than for the clerical and
wage-earner groups.
W h ereas betw een 92
and
94 percent of the
incom e of w age-earner and clerical fam ilies cam e from earnings in
these cities, only from 88 to 91 percent of the incom e of the business
and professional groups was attributable to earnings.

Differences were even more marked as between the occupational
groups in the proportion of earnings coming from principal and sup
plementary workers. Supplementary earners contributed a lower per
centage of total earnings in business and professional households than
they did of earnings of the clerical and wage-earner groups. In no
one of the nine cities did earnings from secondary workers amount to
over 9 percent of all earnings received by business and professional
families, but among clerical and wage-earner groups, supplementary
earnings frequently accounted for 11 to 13 percent of all earnings.
In view of the fact that the business and professional group included
a large percentage of independent business families among which
several family members often assisted in the family enterprise, the
relatively low contribution of supplementary earners reported for
this occupational group is noteworthy. Were this independent busi
ness group excluded from the general class of the business and pro
fessional occupational group, the contributions of supplementary
workers would undoubtedly be very small.

Little occupational variation was found in the fractions of earnings
derived from roomers and boarders, which amounted to about 1
percent in all but a few isolated instances (see table 39).
Number oj earners among nativity and color groups.— Apparently,
the great majority of families depend for their livelihood upon just
one earner. Of every 10 native white families studied in the East
Central region, 7 or 8 had only one earner.7 Among the foreign born,
6 or 7 in every 10 families were supported by a single worker. Negro
families were slightly more variable, from 6 to 8 out of every 10 depend
ing on the pay of only one earner (see table 40). Of the remaining
families, some had no earners whatsoever during the year, while the
others received earnings from two or more workers. Except for fami
lies in Connellsville and New Castle, between 20 and 25 percent of all
native white families depended upon several earners for the family
income. In the two cities mentioned, 16 and 12 percent, respectively,
drew upon the wages of two or more family members. In every city
for which a sufficiently large sample is available the proportion of
foreign families depending upon the contributions of two or more
earners exceeds the percentage of native white multiple-earner fam
ilies. Even among the foreign group, however, in no city did more
than one-third of the families have several employed members. The
greater relative incidence of the multiple-earner families among the
foreign born is a function of several factors, chief of which is family
composition. The foreign group has a larger representation of family
types which contain several adults and thus of potential earners,
than does the native white group. Furthermore, the wage-earner
occupational group which tends to have more earners than do the
white-collar occupations is more prevalent, proportionately, among
the foreign-born than among the native group.
In the three largest cities where the number of Negro families in the
sample is sufficient to warrant a comparison, the percentage of Negro
families containing more than one earner is practically the same as
that found among the native white group. Two counteracting in
fluences probably affect the percentages for the Negro group. On
the one hand, the family types which contain several adults are less
prevalent, proportionately, in the Negro than in the white family pop
ulation, thereby limiting the number of potential earners. On the
other hand, the wage-earner groups which tend to call upon several

This figure is higher than that which would result from the application of the census definition of a
“gainfully occupied" person. The census classified a family as a two-worker family, even though one
of the two has had no earnings for a year or more. In the present study the number of earners represents
the number who have actually had earnings during the year scheduled.
In the second place the census “family" is the number of persons living together. The definition of the
economic family used in the present report includes only persons who pool earnings. However, a related
person who pays board and meets his remaining needs from the balance of his pay check is considered a
member of the economic family for purposes of the income study if his total income can be determined.

Number of earners among complete and incomplete families .— In
earlier chapters, the wide disparities in income between complete and
incomplete families were attributed in part to occupational differences.
In the present chapter we find another explanation in variations in the
number of earners (see table 41). Families without any earners com
prised 5 percent or fewer of the complete families, but never less than
23 percent and as many as 43 percent of the incomplete families. The
discrepancies between the two family composition groups are also
reflected in the number of single-earner families. Whereas about
three-fourths of the complete families depended upon one worker for
the family earnings, only between a third and a half of the incomplete
families had one earner. Multiple-earner families on the other hand,
were only slightly less prevalent, relatively, among broken than among
families containing a married couple.

Income by number o j earners fo r nativity and color groups.— Although
families containing more than one earner represent roughly only about
2 or 3 in every 10 families, supplementary earners exercise a very
significant influence on the incomes of the families to which they
belong. A comparison of the nonrelief median incomes of families
supported by a single earner with those receiving earnings from two or
more workers may be made from the figures of table 42. Among the
native-born white families, the presence of more than one earner in the
family resulted in median incomes between $400 and $700 higher than
those of families dependent upon a single earner (except in Peru,
where the difference was only $218). In the case of the nonrelief
foreign families, also, those with two or more earners received median
incomes no less than $125 higher (in Logansport) and as much as
almost $1,000 more (in Connellsville) than the medians obtained by
families supported by one person only. Since the number of nonrelief
Negro families receiving wages from two or more earners was too
small to warrant the computation of medians in all cities except
Columbus, the data for this community alone must be used to illus
trate the relation between average income and number of earners.
The midpoint of the income distribution of Negro families which
obtained earnings from two or more family members was about $300
higher than was that of families containing only one earner.

Aside from the comparison of median incomes of the sole-earner
and multiple-earner families, it is interesting to examine the distribu
tion of these two groups at the upper and lower ends of the income
scale. Of the nonrelief native white complete families containing
only one earner, between 16 percent (in Columbus) and 36 percent
(in Logansport) received current incomes below $1,000. When two
or more workers contributed to the family income, however, the pro
portion falling below $1,000 for the year ranged from only 6 to 22
percent. At the upper income class of $3,000 or higher the situation
is reversed. Never more than 13 percent of sole-earner families
secured as much as $3,000 and in most cities only 5 to 7 percent reached
incomes of this magnitude with earnings of a single contributor.
When several earners assisted in producing the family income as many
as 27 percent (Springfield) and no less than 8 percent (Peru) of the
families received $3,000 or more.

In c o m e b y n u m b er o f earners a m on g occu pation al g r o u p s .— In the
foregoing analysis of the effect of additional earners upon the income
of the various nativity and family composition groups it might appear
that a concealed occupational difference was involved. But, as may
be noted from the figures of table 45, even within given occupational
groups, families supported by only one earner have median incomes
several hundred dollars below those containing two or more earners.
In the wage-earner group, for example, in six of the cities families
deriving their earnings from one member obtained about $500 or
$600 less in median income than did the families receiving the wages
of at least two workers. In the other three cities, the difference was
about $200 to $400. Among clerical and business and professional
groups also, the addition of earners in the family resulted in signifi
cantly higher incomes.

Another way of viewing the effect of several earners upon the in
come pattern is to examine the number of earners found among fami
lies at different income levels. Data of this type appear in table 46
for Columbus native white and Negro nonrelief complete families.
Here we see that white wage earners who attain the income level of
$3,000 have an average of 2.23 earners per family as contrasted with
1.13 earners at the income level under $500 and 1.21 earners at $1,000
to $1,500. Thus, progressively more earners are required to raise the
level of wage-earner family incomes to each higher bracket. For busi
ness and professional groups the salaries or earned income of only 1.39
persons per family brings them to the $3,000 and higher level. At the
lowest income class (under $500), the business and professional
groups have practically the same number of earners, on the average,
as do the wage-earner groups; but from $500 upward in the income
scale, the business and professional groups consistently required fewer
earners to reach incomes comparable with those of wage earners.
Families of clerical workers occupy an intermediate position between
66

those of the other two occupational groups being discussed. At every
income level from $500 upward the average number of workers con
tributing to the income of clerical workers was higher than that of
wage earners and lower than that of business and professional groups.

The income of Negro families also was influenced significantly by
the assistance of several earners. The same general pattern existed
as in the case of the whites, the number of earners increasing at each
successively higher income level, and the wage-earner families having
more earners than the other occupational groups at comparable
income levels above $1,000. A m ajor difference, however, may be
noted. A t practically every income level, within the same occupa
tional category, the average number of earners among the Negro
group exceeded the averages for the native white families. The
difference is particularly striking in the upper income brackets of the
wage-earner groups: whereas among native white wage-earner
families there were 2.23 earners per family with income of $3,000 or
more, among Negro wage-earner families with incomes of this magni
tude there were 3.33 earners.
Another way of measuring the relationship between supplementary
earnings and income is to compare the proportion of families found
at the upper and lower ends of the income distribution among families
having one earner and two or more earners (see table 47). Taking
first the wage-earner families with only one earner, we find that from
23 percent (in Columbus) to 43 percent (in Logansport) received
less than $1,000, while only 1 to 4 percent secured as much as $3,000.
The proportion of wage-earner families with the assistance of one or
more supplementary earners falling below $1,000 during the year
ranged from 9 to 25 percent while the percentage obtaining $3,000
or more varied from 6 to 16 percent in the East Central cities. All
of these figures exclude the relief group, which, if included, would
increase the proportion of families in the lowest brackets.

Similar patterns were observed among the families of white-collar

Whereas, between 13 and 32 percent of the sole-earner business and

and wives), we have a selected group in which, in accordance with
American custom, husbands will usually be the principal support
of the family and the wives, if they work at all, will ordinarily be less
important supplementary earners. In previous sections of this
bulletin we have shown that a substantial portion of native white
families lack a married couple. In these families there would often
be a great dependence upon female earners for support.
The great m ajority of male earners in nonrelief native white com
plete families are the principal earners in their families in each of
various occupational groups. The male workers in clerical families,
however, tend to belong to the secondary earner category to a slightly
greater extent than do the male earners in the other occupational
classes.

In no city were more than 5 percent of the principal earners females,
and in one city (New Castle) only 2 percent were women. Since we
are dealing with families in which there are both husband and wife,
however, this situation is not unexpected. Women in such families
either do not work at all or if they do their earnings are not so large
as those of their husbands or fathers. As a matter of fact, working
wives, whether principal or supplementary earners, comprised less
than 11 percent of all wives in these families (see table 53 below).

The sex difference in the occupational group to which the principal
earners belong may be more clearly illustrated if we consider each sex
separately, as presented in table 50. Women who are the chief
contributors belonged to clerical families more frequently than to
families classified in the wage-earner group. As many*as 62 percent
of all women principal earners (in Springfield) engaged in clerical
occupations. The proportions found in the clerical group were
smaller in the other cities, but in no city did fewer than 24 percent of
the women who were the chief earners belong to clerical families.
N ot over 56 percent and as few as 13 percent of female chief sup
porters engaged in wage-earner occupations.8 Men, on the other
hand, who were principal earners were predominantly in wage-earner
occupations; from almost one-half to two-thirds of them belonged to
wage-earner occupations. The clerical group claimed less than onefourth of the male chief earners. In most of the cities proportionately
less than half as many men as women who were the main earners in
their families derived their incomes from clerical pursuits.

E a r n in g s o f p r in c ip a l and su p p lem en ta ry ea rn ers .— Since more than
95 percent of all the principal contributors to family income are men,
and since more than 75 percent of all family income is derived from
the chief earner, the earnings of men who are principal earners account
for the bulk of all family income. The earnings of this last men
tioned group averaged between $1,259 (in Logansport) and $1,710 (in
Columbus) among nonrelief native white complete families. If
converted to a weekly basis, this is equivalent to between $24 and $33
per week over the year. The average remuneration received by
women workers who are the chief earners in their families amounts to
only one-half or at the most two-thirds of that obtained by male
8
Throughout this discussion we refer to the occupation by which the family was classified. In most
cases, this occupation coincided with that of the principal earner, but the reader should be aware that the
tables presented are not the same as occupational distributions of principal earners.

principal earners. Whether this disparity in compensation between
men and women supporters is due to lower wages received by women
for comparable types of work or to the fact that women engage in
different types of work than do men even when classified in the same
broad categories cannot be ascertained from the tabulated <Jata.
Still another factor which is not taken into account in this connection
is the regularity and period of employment of the two sexes. It is
quite possible, in these families containing a husband, that some of the
women entered the labor market only during the period their hus
bands were unemployed, and the earnings reported may, therefore,
represent wages for only part of the year. The yearly earnings of
the female principal earners varied from $630 (in Logansport) to
$1,017 (in Columbus). It is interesting to note that the different
cities occupied very much the same rank position for average earnings
of female as for male principal earners, the larger cities tending to
have higher average earnings than the smaller.

B y definition, the average earnings of supplementary earners are
necessarily lower than those of principal earners. This difference was
considerable, as may be seen from the figures in table 51, partly
because wages received in temporary positions, pin money earnings and
earnings of children are more apt to be found in the category of sup
plementary earnings than in that of principal earnings. The average
earnings of males who were secondary earners in their families amounted
to as little as $354 (in Peru) and not more than $617 (in Springfield)
per earner, or about three- to four-tenths that received by the male
principal contributors. Although the remuneration of male supple
mentary earners did not differ significantly from that of the female
secondary earners, the earnings of the former group were slightly
higher than those of the latter group in seven of the nine cities. It
should be recalled that our present analysis relates only to families
containing both husband and wife. Thus the men who are supple
mentary earners in such families are probably adult children who are
M ONEY
71
IN C O M E
not yet earning enough to establish their own homes, or are husbands
who may have been partially unemployed or who may have passed the
peak of their earning years and thus have been supplanted by other
members of their families as chief supporters. Supplementary earners
of each sex contributed roughly between $7 and $13 per week over the
year to family income. Since most families which contained earners in
addition to the chief breadwinner 9 had only one additional earner,
these average earnings per supplementary worker represent approxi
mately the average income per family from minor contributors.
E a r n in g s b y sex o f ea rn er .— Disregarding for the moment the question
of principal or supplementary earners, we shall focus our attention
upon the place of women workers in building up the family income
among complete families. Since the major contributions of female
earners are made in families which lack a husband, the monetary con
tributions of women as a whole cannot be gaged from this analysis of
complete families. It is of interest, however, to examine the role of
women workers in these families containing both husband and
wife. The proportion of female earners varies from 7 percent in New
Castle to 16 percent in Columbus and Logansport, while the propor
tion of total earnings made by females varies from 3 percent in New
Castle to 8 percent in Columbus. Conversely, from 84 to 93 percent
of all earners were male, and from 92 to 97 percent of all earnings were
made by males.
Thus the females compared with the males have relatively small
earnings. The average earnings of women varied from $396 for the
year of the survey to $711, compared with the range from $1,023 to
$1,432 earned by the males. Taking average female earnings as a
percentage of average male earnings in the nine East Central cities,
we find that the ratio varies from 36 percent in Peru to 52 percent in
Connells ville.

Husbands and wives as earners.— In these native white complete
families most husbands are the principal earners in their families
while most wives are nonearners. In contrast to the 87 to 92 percent
of the husbands who provide the major portion of family earnings,
from less than 1 to 3 percent of the wives occupy the role of principal
earner (see table 53).

While most husbands were principal earners, it is significant to note
that in 7 to 11 percent of the families some person other than the
husband or wife was the principal earner. In some cases the husband
appears as a supplementary earner to either the wife or some other
person; from 3 to 5 percent of the husbands in cities other than New
Castle were in this category. More frequently, when the husband
was not the principal earner, he reported no earnings. This was true
of 5 to 9 percent of the husbands in the families covered.
While the proportion of wives acting as supplementary earners was
somewhat higher than that of husbands in seven of the nine cities the
maximum percentage of wives so engaged did not exceed 9 percent in
any city, and was as low as 1 percent in Connellsville (see table 53).
Of the wives who were remuneratively employed, however, the
majority (in eight of the cities) were supplementary rather than prin
cipal earners.
Although they held comparable roles in the financial set-up of their
families the husbands who were principal earners received approxi
mately twice as much in the way of earnings as did wives who were
the chief supporters. The average earnings of the husbands varied
between $1,155 (in Mattoon) and $1,611 (in Columbus) while the
average compensation received by wives ranged from $553 (in Logansport) to $987 (in Columbus) (see tables 54 and 55).

Aside from the question of principal or supplementary earnings of
wives, it is interesting to note that from 1 in 50 (in New Castle) to
1 in 9 (in Columbus, Muncie, and Logansport) of all wives in these
native white complete families were earners during the year. In
seven of the cities more than 1 in every 20 wives were remuneratively
em ployed; only in New Castle and Connellsville did the number
earning fall below this ratio.
A g e and ea rn in g s .— Apparently husbands assume a subordinate
earning position in their families primarily because of age. Com
paring the median ages of husbands who were principal earners with
the ages of the supplementary earners, we find approximately a 10year average difference. The husbands who were the principal sup
porters in their families tended to be in their early forties while those
who were supplementary earners tended to be slightly over fifty years.
The opposite situation exists among wives; the principal earners
were several years older, on the average, than were the supplementary
earners. The median for the former group fell between 39 and 43
years (with the exception of one city in which the number of cases did
not yield a reliable median), while the ages of the latter group of
wives centered around 33 to 35 years.

1 Over 65 years of age.
The 5 to 9 percent of all husbands who did not receive any earnings
during the year were for the most part in the ages commonly consid
ered to be “ retirable.” One-half or more of the husbands who were
nonearners were over 65 years in all but two of the cities. In Springfield and Connellsville the mid point of the age distribution of the
nonemployed husbands fell at 64 and 61 years, respectively.
Turning now to the earnings received by principal earners at
various age levels, we find that among the husbands, the highest aver
age earnings were obtained in most cities by the age groups 35 to 49
years. This age group obtained average remuneration for the year
ranging between $1,218 (in Logansport) and $1,738 (in Columbus).
The age level at which the peak of earning capacity is reached in each
city is, in part, a function of the occupational pattern of the commu
nity. This is to be expected since the longer period of training in
volved as well as the time required for building up professional prac
tices and reputations tend to postpone the age of maximum earning
capacity for the business and professional groups.
Wives occupying the positions of chief breadwinners in their fam
ilies tend to reach their highest earning levels at relatively young
ages. The group under 35 years in most of the cities studied received
larger earnings on the average than did the older age groups (see
table 55). In Columbus, for example, wives in the principal earner
capacity who were less than 35 years old, earned an average of $950
during the year; at 35 to 40 years, $911; and at 50 years and over
$761 represented their yearly compensation. The variations in
earnings with age in the other communities were sometimes greater
and sometimes less than these shown for Columbus principal earner
wives, but in no city did the average earnings of wives at any age
level reach $1,000 for the year.

Other sou rces o f m o n e y in c o m e .— Although earnings form the bulk
of all family income, other sources such as pensions and annuities,
dividends and interest on securities, rents from investment property,
gifts, etc., yield from 4 to 9 percent of all family income in these
East Central communities (see table 34). It is necessary to em
phasize again, that the nonearned money income considered here
does not represent the total income from such sources in the com
munities studied.1
0
The greater importance of nonearned money income to families
which lack a husband and wife as compared with complete families is
indicated by the figures in table 57. Whereas generally fewer than
2 out of every 10 native white complete families derived money
income from sources other than earnings, in most cities from 2 in 10
to as many as 5 in 10 of the incomplete families reported the receipt
of such income.

Limiting our analysis to the native white families which contain
both husband and wife, we may examine the relationship between
occupation and these other sources of money income. As might be
expected, money income other than earnings was of the greatest
importance in the occupational group “ other” which includes retired
and unemployed families. From seven-tenths of these families (Peru)
to more than nine-tenths (Beaver Falls) received nonearned money
income. Of the other occupational classifications, the business and
professional group included a larger proportion of families which
received nonearned money income than did the clerical group (except
in Connellsville), which, in turn, exceeded the wage-earner group in
this respect. Between 17 and 28 percent of the business and pro
fessional families, 11 and 23 percent of the clerical families, and from

To begin with, capital gains are not included in our presentation of nonearned family income. Entre'
preneurial profits are treated as earned income for the family, and were incorporated in the schedule only
insofar as they are represented by drawing accounts actually accruing to the family. What was left in the
business was not regarded as part of available family purchasing power. Similarly, large amounts of real
ized gains which found their way into investments, trust holdings, or special estate funds and were not
made available for current family use, were not reported as part of the family income. The primary pur
pose of the Study of Consumer Purchases was to study the manner in which families spent family incomes;
hence what did not run through the mill of family disbursements (whether for consumers’ goods or for
items like life insurance, additions to homes, and family savings) is not included in the present discussion.

10 to 17 percent of the wage earners reported receiving money income
from sources other than earnings. Although these ranges tend to
overlap among the various occupational groups when all cities are

Rents from property, interest and dividends, and pensions and
annuities were the three m ajor items of nonearned income. From
the figures in table 59 it is apparent that, although money income
from sources other than earnings formed only a small portion of the
aggregate income of all families, such income was relatively import
ant for those families receiving it. Between 4 and 7 percent of the
native white families containing both husband and wife received net
rents from investment in property other than the home; the average
amount which they received ranged from $192 in Connellsville to
$406 in Springfield.

There was great intercity variation in the proportion of families
having dividends and interest from stocks, bonds, bank accounts, trust

funds, etc. In four of the cities (Springfield, Logansport, M attoon,
and Peru) only 2 percent of the families reported income from divi
dends and interest, but in Beaver Falls as many as 8 percent of the
native white complete families received part of their income from this
source. For families having such income, the amount of interest and
dividends averaged only $170 in Peru but as much as $457 in Columbus.
Pensions and annuities formed a part of the income of only a small
proportion of families (between 2 percent in Muncie and 6 percent in
Logansport), but the average amounts received in this form were
relatively high. In each of the nine East Central cities, families
receiving income from pensions and annuities realized at least $400
from this source during the year while Columbus and Logansport
families received about $600, or $50 a month.
Sum m ary
Of every $100 income received by families in the nine East Central
cities, between $86 and $90 was earned-money income. Of this
amount, $75 to $81 was contributed by the chief breadwinner; $6 to
$11 was earned by other members of the family; while $1 or $2 repre
sented earnings from work not attributable to individual family
members (i. e., the keeping of roomers and boarders, and casual work
done in the home for pay). Between $4 and $9 of the remaining
income was nonearned money income from such sources as interest,
dividends, rents, gifts, etc.; while $5 to $7 represented nonmoney
income imputed to home owners or resulting from housing received
without direct money expense.
Analysis on the basis of nativity and color showed that principal
earners contributed a larger portion of the income of native-born
white families and of Negro families than of foreign-born white
families. Conversely, supplementary earners were relatively more
important in the foreign-born group than in the native white and
Negro groups.
Within the native white group, too, there were differences in the
relative importance of sources of earnings. The families which
lacked a married couple were more dependent upon the earnings of
secondary earners and upon the income from joint family enterprises
than were native white complete families which received approximately
nine-tenths of their earned income from the chief breadwinner.
Families without earners were from five to ten times more numerous,
proportionately, in the native white incomplete group than in the
group of families containing both husband and wife.
Of the principal earners in native white complete families (nonrelief),
all but about 5 percent or fewer were males. When females served as
chief breadwinners in complete families, they were found more fre-

R E G IO N
quently in the clerical occupations than in the wage-earner or business
and professional groups. The earnings of female principal earners
amounted to little more than half the average contributions of males
who served as the chief breadwinners of their families.
In all but one city 7 or 8 out of 10 women who worked merely
supplemented the earnings of some other member of the family (in
native white complete families). On the other hand, only 15 percent
or fewer of the men who worked received earnings which were less
than the earnings of some other family member. There was little
difference between the average yearly earnings of males and females
when they worked in the capacity of secondary earners rather than
of chief breadwinners.
Chapter V I
Housing and Income
For a number of reasons a chapter on housing must comprise an
essential part of a study of family income. Nonmoney income in
the form of interest equivalent on the equity in an owned home often
forms an important part of the home owner’s income. From another
point of view, in an age when housing for low income families is a
dominant problem, it is essential to know what rents are actually
being paid out by households with varying amounts of income in
order to gage rent-paying capacities. The ratio of rent to income
is particularly interesting because, where income distributions for a
population are not available, income sometimes is calculated from
known rents by assuming a given relationship. It is possible with
the data collected in the Study of Consumer Purchases to illuminate
each of these three points.
H o m e ow n ersh ip a m on g n a tiv ity an d color g r o u p s .— An analysis of
the frequency of home ownership in these East Central cities gives
evidence of the approximate number of families receiving nonmoney
income from housing. As may be seen in table 60, almost half the
families surveyed owned their homes in 1935-36. Columbus families
had the smallest percentage of home-owning families (37 percent) while
Logansport families had the highest (51 percent). In general, the
smaller the city and the more rural the location, the greater the
percentage of home owners.

in ownership was relatively uniform in every city. In fact, ranking
the cities according to the percentage of home owners, in the two
periods, we find only three of the nine cities (Beaver Falls, Logansport, and M attoon) showing a distinctly different rank in 1935-36
from that held in 1930.1
In all cities for which the size of the foreign sample permits analysis,
the foreign-born have higher percentages of home owners than do the
native. This finding is in accordance with census figures and other
studies on home ownership. From over one-half (in Columbus) to
more than four-fifths (in Logansport) of all foreign-born families owned
their homes. The greater prevalence of home ownership among the
foreign-born may reflect the Old W orld tradition of real property
ownership as signifying tangible evidence of economic and social
status, as well as the relatively large proportion of independent busi
nesses operated in premises also occupied as living quarters, and the
prevalence of families of mature age in the present-day foreign-born
group.2
The Negro families as a group tended to own homes relatively less
frequently than did either the foreign or the native white groups, in
four of the six cities where a comparison is possible. The low per
centage of home owners among the Negro group seems to be a func
tion of the low incomes of such families. Few Negroes have sufficient
income to enable them to make the initial payments required for the
purchase of homes.
H o m e ow n ersh ip a m on g com plete an d in com p lete f a m i l i e s .— Despite
the fact that families without a married pair had lower incomes than
did the complete families, home ownership was more common among
the former than among the latter group of families. Except for fami
lies in Columbus, between 49 and 64 percent of the incomplete group
were home owners while only 39 to 46 percent of the families con
taining both husband and wife in the eight cities owned their homes.
In Columbus, very little difference was found between the two
groups.

Even among families with incomes under $1,000, however, from 23
percent (in Columbus) to 34 percent (in M attoon and Peru) owned
their homes. M any of these owners were families of retired persons
living wholly or partly on savings of which the owned home was an
important element. Ownership increased sharply among families
receiving $1,000 to $2,000; the percentage of owners averaged from
32 (Columbus) to 51 (M attoon). A t practically every income level
Columbus and Springfield families had the lowest proportion of home
owners while M attoon and Peru families had the highest. At the
$2,000 to $3,000 level between 50 and 71 percent of the native white
complete families were home owners; at $3,000 to $5,000, 56 to 80

H o m e ow n ersh ip b y age an d f a m i l y t y p e .— The older the heads of
families the greater is the proportion of home owners.3 It can be
shown that increasing home ownership with age is predominantly due
to a cumulative effect. A given number of families will purchase
homes, for example, when the head is 25 to 35 years old. In the
3 According to the census of 1930, for instance, as the age of the male head of the families in Columbus
increased from under 25 years to 75 years and over, home ownership showed a parallel rise from 7 to 73 per
cent. This progression may be seen from the data tabulated below, which show the percentage of home
owners at specified ages of the male family head:

course of the next 10 years approximately the same number may
continue to own homes while an additional number will have pur
chased homes. Thus when the group originally aged 25 to 34 reached
the age 35 to 44 it will include those who retained home ownership
from the earlier age plus those who had purchased homes during the
subsequent 10 years.
This cumulative relationship may be inferred from the family-type
data available for Columbus. It is shown that income being equal*
the home ownership is more prevalent in those family types where
the head is likely to be older.4 The smallest proportion of home
owners generally was found in family types II—
III, which contain
besides the husband and wife, one or two children under 16 years of
age and no others and where, therefore, the age of the head is likely
to be relatively young.
Conversely, home ownership was most frequent among family types
I V -V and “ all others” — families which contained several adults in
addition to the husband and wife, and which insofar as the adults
were grown children, represent rather old family heads.
For all family types, the increase of home ownership is correlated
with the rise in income scale. This relationship is very clear cut
among family types V I-V I I, for example, where home ownership was
proportionately more than seven times as frequent at the $5,000
level as at the income level under $1,000. The increase was not so
pronounced for the other family types but was nevertheless very great.

find that the median incomes of owners exceed those of renters in
every city. Among native white complete families, the midpoints of
the income distributions of renters fell between $802 (in M attoon)
and $1,397 (in Columbus), while those of owners varied from $1,382
to $1,993, (with the same two cities representing the extremes). Within
given communities, the owners tended to average approximately $400
to $600 more in annual income than did the renters. Only a small
part of this difference may be attributed to imputed income from
owned home, as may be seen from the following analysis in this chap
ter. The chief explanation of this difference probably lies in the fact
that families cannot undertake the purchase of a home until their
incomes have attained a height which makes the financial risk a rea
sonable one. Furthermore, when the incomes of families fall too low,
especially if the low level is maintained over a period of years, the
payments on the home cannot be made and the mortgage is foreclosed.

N o n m o n e y in com e f r o m h o u sin g .— From 5 to 7 percent of total family
income was shown, in the preceding chapter, to be in the form of non
money income either received as rent for pay or arising from equity
in owned home. It has been assumed that home owners tend to have
an advantage in purchasing power over renters receiving money income
of the same magnitude since, generally speaking, in any given year the
expenses of home ownership, i. e., repairs, insurance, taxes, and inter
est on mortgage tend to fall below the amounts paid by renters for
rent in comparable types of living quarters.6 Thus a nonmoney ad
dition to money income of home owners was used in the computation
of their family income. This imputed income was derived by sub
tracting the expenses of home owners from the estimated rental value
of their quarters; the difference was then added to their money in* This does not mean that in the long ran home ownership is necessarily more economical than tenancy.
It merely assumes that the use of a house may be the return on an investment comparable with the interest
return which is obtained from investments in bonds. In estimating the current expenses on owned homes
the interest on funds invested in the owners equity was calculated in terms of nonmoney income from
housing. To be sure, no account is taken of depreciation or of increase in value of owned homes, but neither
are such changes on investments in stocks or bonds taken into account when determining current income.
Since rental value of owned homes is in itself only an estimation (checked by the agent’s estimate of what
renters are paying for comparable types of quarters in the same neighborhood) there is a possibility
that home owners consistently overestimated the value of their housing. Since, however, some homeowners might have suspected that the data obtained would be used for tax assessment purposes, there is also
the likelihood that some under-evaluation took place.

come.6 Among native white complete households studied in these
nine East Central cities, income imputed from home ownership ranged
from $126 to $264 annually, or an average of $10.50 to $22.00 monthly
for home owners (see table 65). Remarkably small variation is
found among cities of the same economic grouping. For Logansport,
Mattoon, and Peru, communities in an agricultural area, it averaged
$126 to $139 yearly. For the cities of Muncie, New Castle, Beaver
Falls, and Connellsville it amounted to $185 to $208; and for the
capital cities of Columbus and Springfield, $264. These values
thus are apparently related to differences in land values and housing
congestion that characterize communities of varying economic struc
ture and size.

1 Averages based on families receiving nonmoney income from housing.
The amount of income imputed to home owners increased progres
sively with rises in the income scale. In Columbus, for example, home
owners in the income class under $500 received an imputed income of
$175; at the $1,000 to $1,999 level, $198; at $3,000 to $5,000, $372; and
at the top income bracket of $5,000 or more an average of $652 was
imputed to home owners. Similarly, in the other cities nonmoney
income from housing varied between about $100 and $175 at the lowest
income classes while at the top income brackets the estimated amounts
received were two to four times as large.
The rental value of quarters occupied by families which received
free housing in compensation for services rendered, such as janitors,
6
For the purpose of cutting down the interview time necessary in an extensive random sample, certain
devices had to be employed when deriving the figure for imputed income of home owners from housing.
While the rental value and the actual amount paid as mortgage interest were obtained from the family
owning the dwelling, other current expenses (taxes, insurance, and repairs) were calculated from the rental
value in accordance with an experience table based upon previous detailed studies of housing by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. Thus home owners who made very extensive repairs during the schedule year incurred
expense higher than the estimate and actually had less imputed income from housing than was attributed
to them. On the other hand, there were undoubtedly some owners, at least in the lowest income brackets,
who did not, during the year, pay the normal expenses of ownership attributed to them, such as taxes,
insurance and repairs. For these families, the imputed income from housing for the schedule year was
actually greater than the estimated figure.

resident directors of institutions, or apartment-house managers was
also added to the income of such families. Of the total nonmoney
income from housing, from 95 to almost 100 percent arose from home
ownership, while the residue which amounted to as little as 0.2 percent,
consisted of rent received as pay. While this fraction is a small part
of the total of nonmoney income, rent received as pay formed an
important part of the income of those families receiving it.7

Nature of data on rent and rental value.— Rent data in this bulletin
must be qualified in a number of important respects. The rent of
tenants is the amount payable to the landlord. According to the con
tract of occupancy, it might or might not include such items as fuel,
refrigeration, or light. The lessee of a private house frequently pur
chases his own fuel and may even pay water rent and maintenance
costs, all of which are generally included in the rents of an apartment
house. To the extent that rent payments are in arrears the ratio of
contracted rent to income is out of proportion to the place of actual
rents in the income picture. It has been shown in various studies that
this factor requires especial consideration in the lower income brackets,
although present at all income levels. It is seen, therefore, that the
definition of rent as used here is subject to a certain amount of indeter
minate variation.
The rental value reported for owned home is the amount for which
families estimate their quarters would rent, in the light of rents paid for
similar accommodations in the same neighborhood.
Monthly rent by income class.— Average rents of native white com
plete families ranged from $13.30 per month (in Peru) to $25.00 (in
Springfield). The amount of mean monthly rent appears to be related
to the size of community as well as to the degree of industrialization.
At practically every income level the large cities had higher rents than
did the smaller communities. In each city, however, there was a
progressive rise in average rents (with a few minor exceptions) at each
higher income class from $500 upward.
The average rents of the cities varied considerably at given income
levels. Families at the $500 to $750 income level, for instance, rented
homes in which the mean rent ranged from $11.00 (in Logansport) to
$18.60 (in Columbus). The spread was still greater at the higher levels ;
thus at $3,000 to $5,000 average rents varied between $24.80 (in
Logansport) and $43.00 (in Springfield).
As would be expected, rents of families which obtained relief during
the year were well below those of the nonrelief group. The highest
average was found in Columbus, $15.40, while the lowest $8.10 was

reported by the Logansport relief group. The nonrelief families with
current funds below $250 frequently reported higher rents than did
families with more income. The explanation, as has been pointed out
previously, is to be found in the fact that families with such low in
comes and not resorting to public assistance, probably have savings
and credit resources at their disposal. Thus these low income families
probably maintain a substantially higher scale of living than would be
expected from their income classification.

b u s .— The
relation between rent and income is more pertinent to this
study than average rents, which incidentally can be gaged from the
rent-income ratio. For the comparison of the various nativity,
color, and family composition groups we shall limit the analysis of
rent-income to Columbus data which portray closely the relationship
which we would find among these groups in other cities.
For all renting families in Columbus, 20 percent of income went to
rent. Due to their lower incomes, relief households were obliged to
pay out 29 percent in rent, contrasted with only 18 percent for the
nonrelief group. Nonrelief families with incomes below $500 allocated
69 percent of their income to rent. This dropped in the $500 to $750
class to 33 percent and continued downward thereafter, reaching 10
percent for families with incomes above $5,000. Thus, although aver
age rents were shown to increase with rises in income, the increase is
not proportional to the rise in income.

than 3 renters.
On the whole there is little difference between foreign-born and
native white households (in Columbus) of the same income class in the
fraction of income going to rent. The former allocated 20 percent
of income to rent, while the latter assigned 19 percent of their income
to rent. Among foreign-born relief families rent represented 26 per
cent of their funds compared with 28 percent for the corresponding
native white group. The nonrelief foreign-born group contributed
20 percent of its income to rent, which was slightly more than the 18
percent for the corresponding native white households. Nonrelief
foreign-born families with incomes under $500 were too few (four
cases in sample) to afford a reliable picture of rents. Between $500
and $1,000 of income, rent assumed a slightly lower fraction of income
of foreign than of native white families, but above $1,000 rent com
prised a larger share of the income of the foreign group.
Negro families paid rents which were about one-fourth smaller than
those of white families of the same income.8 Therefore, ratio of rent
to income also fell below that of native and foreign-born groups at
every income class. For Negroes as a whole, however, due to their
low average incomes, the rent-income ratio was higher than for the
white families. Rent assumed 23 percent of the incomes of Negro
families. Since a very large element of the Negro family population
received relief (46 percent) during the year, the situation among the
relief families is most indicative of the Negro group in general. Rents
of the relief group represented 30 percent of their incomes. This is
slightly higher than the ratio found for the white families which
received public assistance. The reader should bear in mind at this
point that data on direct relief either in cash or kind was not secured
from relief families, so these ratios are somewhat higher than would
be found if such income were included. Furthermore, since our data

do not reveal whether rents were actually paid during the year, or
were in arrears, it cannot be said that three-tenths of the income of
these relief families was actually utilized for rent.
Rent as a percentage of income: Complete and incomplete fam ilies ,
Columbus.— Native white incomplete families as a whole assigned 24
percent of their income for rent compared with 18 percent allocated
by complete families. The larger share of income going to rent among
the incomplete group was due largely to the fact that they were con
centrated in the lower incomes where the proportion of rent to income
was greater than in the upper levels. In comparing the two family composition groups at the same income levels, little consistent varia
tion between them is found.
Among Negro families of Columbus, broken families were not
sufficiently numerous above $1,250 to permit comparison with com
plete families. As a whole the incomplete group allocated 32 percent
of income to rent compared with 21 percent by complete households.
In the income class under $500 rents of the broken families constituted
somewhat larger fractions of income. The two family-composition
groups paid an equal amount (27 percent) in the $500 to $750 class
while above $750 the complete families devoted a larger share of
their income to rent than did the incomplete.

Rent as a percentage of income in nine cities.— Having seen that the
rent-income ratio of native white complete families does not differ
significantly from that of other family composition and nativity
groups among families at comparable income levels, wc may turn to
the analysis of the restricted sample in the other communities with
some assurance that the data are not unrepresentative of the total
family populations.
H O U S IN G
AND

IN C O M E
In every city the ratio of rent to income decreased with practically
every rise in the income scale. Substantial intercity variation in the
percentage of income allocated to rent at the same income levels was
found, however, in these East Central cities. For example, in the
$1,000 to $1,250 class 15 percent of income was allotted to rent by the
native white complete families of Peru, but 23 percent in Columbus.
Similarly, at the $2,500 to $3,000 level 10 percent of income went to
rent in Peru, but 16 percent in Springfield.
On the whole it is found that in Columbus and Springfield— the
two capital cities— the percentage which rent forms of income (in
given income classes) was very similar. Likewise, the three industrial
cities in Western Pennsylvania, New Castle, Beaver Falls, and Connellsville were fairly close, while Logansport, Mattoon, and Peru
were somewhat alike. At the $1,000 to $1,250 income group, for
instance, the ratio of rent to income in Columbus and Springfield was
23 and 22 percent, respectively; in New Castle, Beaver Falls, and
Connellsville, 20, 19, and 18 percent, respectively; and in Logansport,
Mattoon, and Peru, 15 percent (see table 69).

i Percentage is not given because net current incomes under $250 formed only a fraction of current receipts,
which included borrowings, drawing on savings, etc.
*Fewer than 5 cases.
We may generalize the findings with respect to the rent-income
ratio, by pointing out that rent represents from $14 to $20 of every
$100 of income of the native white complete families in these East
Central cities. At the lowest income bracket ($250 to $500) between
$30 and $59 in every $100, at the $1,000 to $1,250 level from $15 to
$23, and at the $5,000 and over level $7 to $11 in every $100 of family
income goes to rent.

Rent-income ratio among occupational groups.— W ith very few excep
tions, families of wage earners allocated a smaller percentage of their
incomes for rent than did the other occupational groups at comparable
income levels. Families of business and professional persons, on the
other hand, tended to pay the largest percentage of their incomes for
rent, while the clerical families occupied an intermediate position at
most income levels in the nine cities (see table 70). These occupa
tional differences may reflect real variations in the standard of living
of wage-earner groups as compared with white-collar workers but in
part, at least, the difference may be attributed to the fact that the
wage-earner income has to be distributed among more members than
does the income of the other occupational groups in the same income
classes.9 Therefore, less money is available for the housing expendi
ture than in the clerical and business and professional groups.
Ratio of rent to income by fam ily type in Columbus.— Other conditions
being equal, one would expect that the more members there were in
families the greater space would be required and therefore the higher
would be the rents. The data in table 71, however, do not bear out
this expectation. Instead, they indicate that the opposite situation
exists; namely, the larger the family the lower the expenditure for
rent at given income levels. This probably means that the more
members among whom the family income must be distributed, the
more is required for food and clothing and the less is available for rent.
Family type I consisting of husband and wife only, spent a larger
percentage of income for rent than did the other family types at most
income levels. This is probably due in part to the tendency of
families of husband and wife only to live in apartments where payment
for heat is usually included with payments for rent as such. Types
V I -Y I I and “ Other,” which contained a minimum of five members and
generally more, tended to have the lowest rent-income ratio. Here
again this may be due to the tendency of large families to live in
houses and not in apartments.
Among all types the progressive decline in the percentage rent com
prised of income with each higher income class may be noted from
the figures in table 71 A. In the income bracket $500 to $750 rent
formed approximately one-third of the income while at the top income
class roughly one-tenth of the family funds were allocated to rent.
9 See Tabular Summary, sec. B, table 1A, for number of persons per family.

♦Fewer than 5 cases in sample.
Substantially the same generalizations hold for the Negro as for
the white complete families in Columbus. The more family mem
bers, the lower the percentage which rent constitutes of income, and
conversely, the fewer members the higher the rent-income ratio.
Comparing families in the same income class and of the same family
type, however, the rent-income ratio of the Negro group tends to
fall below that of the native white families.
R en ta l value b y in co m e cla sses .— Since so many families are home
owners (from 37 to 51 percent) in the East Central cities it is
important to present the rental value figures as well as the rentincome ratio for this segment of the family population. The data
on rental value represent estimates of what home owners believe
their quarters would rent for if their homes were rented, so the
figures are probably less reliable than the rent data furnished by
tenants. The fact that the averages obtained follow such a con
sistent pattern from city to city and even within each city, however,
gives us some assurance that these estimates of rental value conform
to the true situation.
Among native white complete families, the average monthly rental
value varied from $20.30 (in Logansport) to $39.20 (in Columbus),
these averages were considerably higher than those obtained for
H O U S IN G
AN D

renters, but since home owners have larger incomes, on the average,
than do tenants, a higher rental value is to be expected. A t com
parable income levels, however, the home owners appear to have
higher rental values in most of these nine cities than do renters
(compare table 66 with table 72).1

0 Here several explanations may account for the differences. To begin with, home owners may tend
to overestimate the rental value of their quarters. In the second place, since the income of home owners
includes nonmoney income imputed to home owners, it is possible that the amount imputed was insuf
ficient and that families are classified into income classes below the level into which they should have been
grouped. Still it may be that home owners actually live in better quarters, as judged by rental value, than
do renters in comparable income classes. Whether one or all of these factors operate cannot be ascertained
from the data at hand.

R en ta l value— in com e ra tio .— Despite the limitations of the rental
value and income data of home owners, the rental value-income ratio
is useful for estimating family income, and is presented, therefore, in
table 73.
Rental value represented between 16 and 21 percent of the income
of home-owning native white complete families in the nine cities
surveyed in the East Central area. The proportion is greatest at
the low income levels and decreases consistently with each rise in
income level. Generally speaking, rental value formed from about
five-tenths to as much as nine-tenths of the income of families receiv
ing from $250 to $500. A t $1,000 to $1,250 rental value comprised
between 19 percent (in Peru) and 31 percent (in Columbus) of the
income of home owners; at $2,000 to $2,250, the ratio declined from 13
to 21 percent; while at the highest income band rental value amounted
to less than 11 percent of income in eight of the cities, and to 13 per
cent in the ninth city (Columbus). These ratios are, in general,
slightly greater than those found for the rents of tenants, but the same
patterns obtain for both home tenure groups. The larger and more
industrialized cities tend to have higher rental value-income ratios
than do the smaller communities.
Sum m ary
N ot only does the proportion of home-owning families vary with
income but, within a given income class, there are variations asso
ciated with differences in nativity, race, and family composition.
In all cities for which the size of the foreign-born sample permits
analysis, at least one-half of the foreign families owned their homes;
in Logansport as many as four-fifths of these families were owners.
Among the native white group, however, the proportion of home
owners was below one-half in all cities and even lower than two-fifths
in Columbus. In four of the five cities for which racial comparisons
were made, Negro families were home owners less frequently than
were native white families.
Home ownership was more prevalent among the native white
incomplete families than among the families containing both husband
and wife; from 39 to 64 percent of the former, as compared with 37
to 46 percent of the latter group had the title to their dwelling
quarters.
The relative frequency of home ownership increased with each rise
in income level. Thus, we find that although home owners com
prised only 23 to 34 percent of the native white families which received
less than $1,000 income, they represented from 50 to 71 percent of
the group obtaining incomes of $2,000 to $3,000 and from 69 to 90
percent of the families in the highest income class ($5,000 and over).
Since home ownership appears to be associated with relatively high
H O U S IN G
AND
IN C O M E
95
incomes, it is not surprising that the median incomes of owners
exceeded those of renters in the native white complete group by
approximately $400 to $600. That this difference is not entirely due
to the income imputed for home ownership is obvious from the figures
which show that the amount of such nonmoney income averaged
only between $126 and $264 per home owner.
The highest average rents reported by native white complete fami
lies were paid by tenants in the largest cities of Columbus and Springfield ($24.40 and $25.00 per month respectively) while the lowest
average rent was paid by families in the small city of Peru ($13.30).
In each city, the average amount of rent increased with rises in in
come until, at the level of $5,000 and over, families occupied homes
for which the mean rent ranged between $28.30 (M attoon) and $60.60
(Springfield). Despite this definite increase in average amount of
rent, the relatively high income families allocated a much smaller
proportion of their incomes for the housing item than did families at
the bottom of the income scale. Thus, for all native white complete
families, rent amounted to between 14 and 20 percent of income.
For the nonrelief families with incomes between $250 and $500, rent
absorbed from 30 to 59 percent of income; at the level of $2,000 to
$2,250, the proportion had decreased to between 12 and 18 percent;
but only 6 to 13 percent of total income was spent for rent by families
which attained the $4,000 to $5,000 level.
The rent-income ratio of these native white complete families was
not significantly different from that of other family composition and
nativity groups at comparable income levels. Therefore, it was pos
sible to confine the analysis to the native white complete families and
to examine the relationship of occupation and family composition to
rent. A t a given income level, clerical families tended to spend a
larger proportion of their income for rent than did wage earners but
a smaller proportion than did families in the business and professional
group. With respect to family composition, it was found that larger
families alloted a smaller percentage of income to the housing item
than did the small families which received the same amount of
income.
For home owners in the native white complete group, the average
monthly rental value varied between $20.30 (Logansport) and $39.20
(Columbus). At comparable income levels, owners reported higher
rental values than did tenant families.

In the preceding pages, emphasis has been placed upon similarities
and contrasts in the income structure of the nine East Central cities.
Because generalizations which pertain to the income data of the
various social and economic groups have been made on a regional
basis, the income pattern of each city has been obscured. Conse
quently the following restatement by cities is of value to those readers
whose primary interest is in the family income structure of any or all
of the nine East Central communities.
Columbus
Columbus, the largest of the nine cities covered by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in the East Central region, has the most favorable
income distribution of any of these cities. Half the families had
annual incomes of more than $1,316. Of every 100 families, 36
received less than $1,000 for the year; 38 reported incomes between
$1,000 and $2,000; 16 secured between $2,000 and $3,000; while only
10 had incomes equalling or exceeding $3,000.
Four-fifths of all families in Columbus are native white. Their
median income ($1,447) is more than $250 greater than that of the
foreign born ($1,181). There was a marked contrast between the
incomes of families including husband and wife, and those without
a married couple (the two groups have been called “ complete” and
“ incomplete” families in this study). Native white families which
contained both husband and wife obtained a median income of $1,622
while the incomplete families averaged $885. Nonrelief families in
the complete group received a median income of $1,751; families with
incomes of $3,000 or more comprised 15 percent of the nonrelief
group and were equally as numerous as families having less than
$1,000 income.
In c o m e o f occu pation al g r o u p s .— Although wage-earner families
constituted a smaller proportion of the total population in Columbus
than in all but one of the other eight cities, they still represented onehalf of all families in this city. From the point of view of income,
this group fell at the bottom of the occupational scale, having a
median income of $1,111 for the year. Approximately one-fourth
of the families in the wage-earner group received either direct or
work relief at some time during the year.

Families in which clerical work provided the chief earnings repre
sented one-fifth of all families and had a median income of $1,696.
The business and professional occupational groups (median income,
$1,857) totalled 24 percent of the family population; independent
business families were approximately as numerous as the combined
professional and salaried business groups.
Families classified as “ other” comprised about 6 percent of all
Columbus families. Their median income of $354 was markedly
lower than the medians for the groups just enumerated.
In c o m e o j f a m i l y c o m p o sitio n g r o u p s .— Three out of every four
native white families in Columbus contained both husband and wife.
The relatively advantageous economic position occupied by these
husband-wife families was indicated above with respect to median
incomes; moreover, only 12 percent of the complete families had
recourse to relief while 23 percent of the incomplete secured public
assistance.
Of the native white complete families, three-tenths were composed
of husband and wife only. The next largest group of families for
which separate tabulations were made consisted of husband and
wife, one other adult, and one or no other persons (type I V ) ; more than
two-tenths of the complete families (23 percent) were of this composition.
The average native white complete family was smaller in Columbus
than in the other East Central cities, containing 3.57 persons. In the
nonrelief group family size increased consistently with each rise in
income level, but even at the highest level of $3,000 and over the
average size of these families, 3.81, did not equal the average of 4.35
persons per relief family. Families consisting of five or six adults
(type V III) had the most favorable family-income distribution, as
measured by the relative infrequency of low income families as well
as by the frequency of high income families.
S ou rces o f f a m i l y in c o m e .— Of every $100 income which Columbus
families obtained during the scheduled period, $88 was earned money
income. Of this amount, $75 was contributed by the chief bread
winners; $11 was earned by other members of the family while $2
represented earnings from work not attributable to individual family
members (i. e., the keeping of roomers and boarders and casual work
for pay done in the home). Slightly more than $6 of the remaining
reported income was money income from such sources as interest,
dividends, rents, gifts, etc.; while almost $6 represented nonmoney
income imputed to home owners or resulting from housing received
without money expense.
A comparison of native white complete families with those which
lacked a married couple reveals differences in the relative importance
of sources of earnings to the two groups. The principal earner, for
instance, supplied 88 percent of the earnings of complete families,
98
F A M IL Y
IN C O M E

EA ST
CENTRAL
R E G IO N
but only 73 percent of all earnings of incomplete families. Incom
plete families received a larger proportion of their earnings from
supplementary earners (19 percent as compared with 11 percent for
the complete group) and from family enterprises (8 percent versus 1
percent for husband-wife families).
H o m e tenure an d in c o m e .— Of the East Central cities studied,
Columbus contained the lowest proportion of home owners (37 per
cent of all families). Home ownership was more frequent among the
foreign born than among the native born. Approximately 53 percent
of the foreign-born group as compared with 38 percent of the native
white and 18 percent of the Negroes owned their living quarters.
The presence or absence of a married couple in the native white
families in Columbus appeared to have little effect upon the frequency
of home ownership.
The proportion of owners in the native white complete group in
creased with each rise in income until, among families with incomes
of $5,000 and over, more than seven-tenths of the families owned
their homes.
Home owners among native white complete families received an
average of $264 in nonmoney income from housing. That this im
puted income alone does not account for the higher incomes of owners
than of renters is evidenced by the great disparity between the median
incomes of these two groups, $1,993 for owners as contrasted with
$1,379 for renters.
Native white complete families which rented their dwellings paid
an average of $24.40 for monthly rent. Although the average rent
increased with rises in income level, the ratio of rent to income be
came progressively less at each higher income bracket. A t the highest
level only one-tenth of income was allocated to the housing item.
For all renters in the native white complete group, rent amounted
to almost two-tenths of family income but in the lowest income class
rent assumed almost six-tenths of current income. This high pro
portion is possible because many of the nonrelief families in this
income bracket were drawing on past savings or on credit for a con
siderable part of their current expenditures.
Springfield
Springfield families received a median income of $1,274, an amount
which was exceeded in the other eight cities covered in this region
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics only by the median for Columbus.
The distribution of families by income class showed marked similarity
to that for Columbus families: incomes of less than $1,000 were receiv
ed by 37 percent of the group; another 37 percent had between $1,000
and $2,000; 16 percent secured incomes ranging from $2,000 to $3,000,
while the remaining 10 percent obtained $3,000 or more.

The contrast between the median income ($1,402) of the nativeborn families and that of the foreign-born ($1,017) was more marked
in this city than in the others. If only the incomes of families con
taining husband and wife both native born are considered, the
median income is $1,518. B y excluding from this group the families
which had received public assistance, the median income is raised to
$1,657. Of these native white complete families which were selfsupporting, 21 percent had incomes of less than $1,000 while 15 per
cent attained $3,000 or more.
In c o m e o f occu pation al g ro u p s. — The occupational distribution of
Springfield families was also very much like that of the Columbus
family population
Wage-earner occupations engaged one-half of
the families and yielded a median income of $1,025. The clerical
group made up 21 percent of all families; their median income of
$1,728 was the highest found for this occupational classification in
these nine East Central cities. Also the highest in the region was
the median income of $1,989 obtained by the 22 percent of the families
deriving their incomes from business and professional occupations.
In c o m e o f f a m i l y com p o sition g ro u p s. — Families headed by a married
couple represented a slightly larger proportion (78 percent) of the
native white group of Springfield than of most of the other East
Central cities. Their median income ($1,518) was approximately $500
higher than the median income of incomplete families ($1,035). The
most prevalent family type among the complete group was that com
posed of only a husband and wife. Such families constituted 27
percent of all complete families; another 23 percent of the families
included one adult member and possibly one other person in addition
to the married couple (type IV ).
Springfield had an average size of 3.64 persons per native white
complete family. As in the other cities increases in family size were
definitely correlated with increases in family income among the non
relief group. The proportion of families of five or six adults (type
V III) which received incomes of less than $1,000 was only about half
as great as the proportion among all native white complete families.
Moreover, 37 percent of the families of this type secured incomes of
at least $3,000 as compared with only 14 percent of complete families
of all types.
S ou rces o f f a m i l y in c o m e . — As in Columbus, wages and salaries
yielded 88 percent of the aggregate income of all families in Springfield. The principal earners of these families were responsible for
approximately 76 percent of the total income; supplementary earners
contributed 10 percent and 2 percent came from earnings not attribu
table to individual family members. Of the remaining family income,
5 percent was money income other than earnings and 7 percent repre
sented nonmoney income from housing.

Marked differences were found in the relative importance of the
components of the earnings of native white families headed by a
married couple and of incomplete native white families. The chief
breadwinner supplied nine-tenths of the earnings in the complete group
and eight-tenths in the incomplete group. Conversely, supplementary
earnings and earnings from joint family enterprises were more im
portant to broken families than to families containing both husband
and wife.
H o m e ten ure a n d in c o m e .— Home owners, who comprised approxi
mately one-half of Springfield’s families, were more prevalent propor
tionately among the foreign than among the native white families.
Only 44 percent of the native white families in contrast to 71 percent
of the foreign-born white families owned the quarters in which they
lived in 1935-36.
In the native white complete group, home ownership was more
than twice as frequent proportionately among families with incomes
of $5,000 and over as it was among nonrelief families receiving less
than $1,000 in annual income. Of all native white families containing
both husband and wife, 41 percent owned homes.
As in Columbus, there was a spread of almost $600 between the
median income of Springfield home owners ($1,857) and of renters
($1,298) in the group of native white complete families. The average
monthly rent of $25.00 of all renters amounted to 20 percent of their
income but the average rent of $60.60 paid by renting families obtain
ing incomes of $5,000 and over represented only 11 percent of income
M uncie
Half the families of M uncie had incomes of $1,226. This was only
$50 lower than the median for Springfield, 111. Of the Muncie
families, almost two-fifths had incomes of less than $1,000 and fourfifths received less than $2,000. Only 5 percent secured incomes of
$3,000 or more.
Since only 2 percent of the families in this city were foreign-born
white, there were too few cases in the sample to warrant a comparison
with the native white families, whose median income was $1,277. If
the median is computed for only those native white families which
contained a married couple, the midpoint is found to be higher,
$1,395. And with the exclusion of relief families, the median income
becomes $1,468. Of this last group, less than one-fifth received
annual incomes under $1,000; 8 percent obtained $3,000 or more.
In c o m e o f occu pation al g ro u p s. — Wage-earner families in Muncie
obtained a slightly higher median income ($1,135) than did wageearner families in the other eight cities surveyed by the Bureau of

fication included 62 percent of all families. Families in the clerical
group constituted 12 percent of the family population and received
an average income of $1,573. Independent business enterprises pro
vided the major source of earnings for one Muncie family in 10; the
same proportion of families engaged in professional and salaried
business occupations. The median income for the four business and
professional groups combined was $1,810 (a figure more than $200
higher than the medians for these families in any of the other cities
except Springfield and Columbus).
Incom e o j ja m ily composition groups. — M ore than three-fourths (77
percent) of M uncie’s native white families contained both husband
and wife. They received a median income of $1,395 as compared
with $768 for the incomplete group. Families consisting of only the
married couple predominated among the native white complete group,
comprising three-tenths of the families. Next in order of frequency
were families with one or two persons in addition to the husband and
wife; two-tenths of the families were of this type.
The average native white complete family in Muncie contained
3.63 members. Families attaining incomes of at least $3,000 aver
aged 3.90 members— a size considerably smaller than that of relief
families (4.35). A relatively small proportion of families with five
or six adults and therefore potential earners (type V III) received
less than $1,000 (10 percent) and a correspondingly large proportion
(34 percent) obtained $3,000 or more in family income.
Sources o j ja m ily incom e. — All but 10 percent of the total income of
M uncie’s families consisted of earnings from gainful occupations.
Only 4 percent of this aggregate represented money income from
sources other than earnings while 6 percent represented net money
value of housing received without direct expense to the family.
Of the aggregate, principal earners contributed 78 percent while
supplementary earners provided another 10 percent. Only 2 percent
came from earnings not attributable to individual family members.
As in the other cities of this region, the native white complete
families relied to a greater extent (89 percent of earnings) upon
principal earners than did the incomplete families of the same
nativity (75 percent of earnings).
H om e tenure and incom e.— Home ownership was reported by 44 per
cent of Muncie families of all nativities. Of the native white families
which contained both husband and wife, only 42 percent owned their
living quarters. With increasing income, however, the proportion of
home owners rose until, at the level of $5,000 and over, three out of
every four native white complete families were owners— this proportion
was only a little less than twice as great as that for nonrelief families
with incomes of less than $1,000.

In the native white complete group, owning families secured a
median income of $1,619 while the renters obtained only $1,259 for
the year. Renters allotted 17 percent of this income, or $19.40 per
month, to the rent of their dwellings.
N e w Castle
The concentration of families at the lower end of the income scale
was greater in New Castle (median income, $1,069) than in Columbus,
Springfield, and Muncie. Of all families, 46 percent reported incomes
of less than $1,000; 38 percent received between $1,000 and $2,000;
12 percent secured incomes of $2,000 to $3,000, leaving only 4 percent
afc the income level of $3,000 and over.
The median income of the native-born white families amounted to
$1,146, as compared with the average of $972 for foreign-born. Native
white families containing both husband and wife had a median income
of $1,258. The nonrelief families in this last mentioned group,
secured a median income of $1,486 or slightly more than that received
by comparable families in Muncie. Twenty percent of these nonrelief
families received incomes under $1,000 while 8 percent secured $3,000
or more.
In c o m e o f occu pation al g r o u p s .— Wage earners comprised a slightly
greater proportion (63 percent) of the family population in New
Castle than in the other eight East Central cities. One-half of these
families secured less than $1,048 in annual income. Only 11 percent
of the New Castle families derived the m ajor part of their earnings
from clerical occupations; they received a median income of $1,302.
Approximately $300 higher ($1,605) was the median income for the
entire business and professional group, in which only 17 percent of the
families were included. In New Castle, independent business families
were more numerous than were families in the combined professional
and salaried business group (10 percent as compared with only 7
percent).
In c o m e o f f a m i l y c o m p o sitio n g r o u p s .— Approximately four out of
every five native white families in New Castle contained a married
couple. These families secured a median income of $1,258 while the
other fifth had a median income of only $719. Although families com
posed of only husband and wife outnumbered families of any other
type, those with one or two persons in addition to the married couple
(type IV ) occurred with almost equal frequency (23 percent versus 21
percent).
Native white complete families in New Castle had an average size
of 3.74 persons. The average of 4.25 persons per relief family was
much greater than the average size of nonrelief families at even the
highest income level (3.78). The highest average family income of

any family type was secured by that with five or six adults (type
V III). Although 20 percent of its families received less than $1,000,
16 percent obtained annual incomes of $3,000 or more. The propor
tions were in marked contrast to the figures for all native white com
plete families, of which 34 percent had incomes under $1,000 and only
6 percent secured $3,000 or more.
S ou rces o j j a m i l y in c o m e .— A slightly larger proportion of the total
income of New Castle families, as compared with families in the other
eight cities, was supplied by the principal earner (80 percent) and a
correspondingly smaller proportion represented earnings of supple
mentary workers (6 percent). With an additional 2 percent of aggre
gate income derived from earnings not attributable to individual
family members, earnings from all sources comprised 88 percent of
family income in New Castle— a proportion not unlike that found in
the other cities. M oney income other than earnings accounted for 5
percent of the total and the remaining 7 percent was nonmoney in
come imputed to home owners or resulting from housing received with
out direct money expense.
H o m e tenure and in c o m e .— Home ownership was reported by onehalf of all New Castle families. The proportion of home owners
amounted to 45 percent among native-born white families and to 61
percent among the foreign-born white.
As many as nine-tenths of the native white complete families which
secured $5,000 and over in income were home owners. This pro
portion was greater than the proportion for correspondingly highincome families in the other East Central cities and was three times
as high as the percentage of home owners among New Castle families
with less than $1,000 income.
The median income secured by renters in the native white complete
group was $1,083, a figure $500 lower than that for owners. The
average monthly rent of $19.70 which was paid by these renting
families amounted to almost one-fifth of family income.
B e a v e r Falls
Beaver Falls’ median income of $1,098 was only slightly higher than
that of the neighboring city, New Castle. M ore than four-tenths of
the families (44 percent) were in the income classes under $1,000;
four-tenths received incomes of $1,000 to $2,000; one-tenth obtained
between $2,000 and $3,000 while fewer than one-tenth (6 percent)
secured $3,000 or more annual income.
The median income of native white families ($1,186) exceeded that
of the foreign white group by slightly more than $150. All native
white families which contained a married couple received a median
income of $1,303 as compared with $1,449 for the nonrelief families

$1,000 income while 8 percent obtained incomes equalling or exceeding
$3,000.
In c o m e o f occu pation al g ro u p s. — The distribution of Beaver Falls’
families by occupational group resembled closely the occupational
distribution of families in M uncie; the median incomes in Beaver
Falls, however, were consistently lower. Of every 100 Beaver Falls
families, 62 were classified as wage earners; 12 followed clerical pur
suits; 20 derived their chief earnings from business and professional
occupations, while the remaining 6 were families without gainfully
employed members, and were classified as “ other” . One-half of the
wage-earner families received annual incomes of less than $1,098.
Only a few dollars separated the median income of clerical families
from that of business and professional families; the former group
secured an average income of $1,504 as compared with $1,530 for
the latter.
In c o m e o f f a m i l y com p o sition g ro u p s. — Beaver Falls’ native white
family population included a larger proportion of families without
husband and wife (median income $722) than did the other East
Central cities. Only slightly more than seven-tenths (72 percent)
of the families contained both husband and wife; these families
received a median income of $1,303 for the year. Families with
one or two persons in addition to the married couple (type IV)
occurred with almost the same frequency as families with husband
and wife only (type I ) ; 24 percent of the native white complete
families were of the latter type and 23 percent of type IV.
Families which contained both husband and wife averaged 3.76
members. As in the other cities, family size increased consistently
with each rise in income level among nonrelief families. The five
or six adults of family type V III resulted in relatively high earnings
and thus in high incomes of these families; 26 percent attained the
income level of $3,000 and over; and only 16 percent received less
than $1,000 annual income.
S ou rces o f f a m i l y in c o m e . — Approximately 88 percent of the aggre
gate income reported for all families in Beaver Falls was derived
from occupational earnings. The other two components of this
aggregate— money income other than earnings and nonmoney
income from housing— supplied 5 percent and 7 percent, respectively,
of the total.
The relative importance of the three sources of earnings was the
same in Beaver Falls as in Columbus. Principal earners contributed
75 percent of all income while 11 percent was supplied by secondary
earners and 2 percent by joint family enterprises.
H o m e tenure an d in c o m e . — As in the other cities, home owners, who
comprised slightly less than one-half of Beaver Falls’ families, were

more prevalent proportionately among the foreign than among the
native-born families. Approximately 60 percent of the foreign born
as compared with 45 percent of the native owned the quarters in
which they lived during 1935-36. In this city, the presence or ab
sence of a married couple in the native white group was strongly asso
ciated with the frequency of ownership. Three out of five of the in
complete families as compared with two in five of the families which
contained a husband and wife owned their homes. The proportion
of owners among the native white complete families increased with
each rise in income until, at the $5,000 and over level, 72 percent of the
families reported ownership. Home owners obtained a median in
come of $1,561. The renters in the group of native white complete
families received $1,166 as a median income for the year and allocated
17 percent, or an average of $18.90 per month, to the housing item.
C o n n e lls v ille
Almost one-half (48 percent) of Connellsville’s families reported
less than $1,000 income for the year; $1,043 represented the median
income. Incomes between $1,000 and $2,000 were received by 34
percent of all families; incomes of $2,000 to $3,000, by 13 percent; and
incomes of $3,000 and over, by 5 percent.
Approximately $200 separated the median incomes of the two
nativity groups: native white families averaged $1,123 annual income
and the foreign white, $906. When the incomes of native white
families which contained both husband and wife are considered, the
median income is $1,259. When all groups except the native white
complete families which were self-supporting are excluded from
analysis, Connellsville’s median income equals $1,509— a figure
exceeded only by the median income of the comparable group of
families in Columbus and Springfield. In Connellsville, however,
as many as 23 percent received less than $1,000 annual income and only
8 percent secured incomes of $3,000 or more.
I n c o m e o f occu pation al g ro u p s .— The median income of the wageearner group, which represented 56 percent of Connellsville families,
was $1,013. Families receiving the greater part of their earnings
from clerical work constituted 15 percent of the family population and
received an average income of $1,463. This figure was slightly
higher than the median income of business and professional families,
more than half of which engaged in independent business (10.5 per
cent of the families were in the independent business group while
17.5 percent represented all business and professional families).
Families with no gainfully employed members comprised a slightly
larger proportion of families in Connellsville (11 percent) than in the
other cities; their median income of $231 was the lowest for these nine
cities.

R E G IO N
In c o m e o f f a m i l y c o m p o sitio n g ro u p s. — As in Columbus, threefourths of Connellsville's native white families contained a married
couple (median income, $1,259). The remaining fourth of the families
received a median income of $731. Large families were more prev
alent in this city than in the other East Central communities.
Families consisting of only two persons (the married couple) com
prised only 18 percent of the native white complete group and were
less numerous than were families which contained an additional adult
(22 percent).
The average native white complete family in Connellsville was com
posed of 4.16 members. The average size of self-supporting families
reached 4.40 members at the $3,000 and over level but even this
average was lower than that for relief families (4.62). Families which
contained five or six adults (type V III) were proportionately less
numerous at the lower end of the income scale and proportionately
more numerous in the highest income brackets than were families of
any other type.
S ou rces o f f a m i l y in c o m e . — The principal earner contributed 76 per
cent of the aggregate income of all families in Connellsville. Supple
mentary earners provided 10 percent and family enterprises supplied
an additional 1 percent of the total; together, these sources of earnings
made up 87 percent of aggregate income.
Of the remaining 13 percent of income, 6 percent consisted of money
income from sources other than earnings while 7 percent represented
the net money value of housing received without direct expense to the
family.
H o m e tenure an d in c o m e . — Only 41 percent of the native white
families, as compared with 65 percent of the foreign-born white group,
owned their homes. Although only 28 percent of the native white
complete families with less than $1,000 annual income were home
owners, 69 percent of those obtaining incomes of $5,000 or more
reported ownership.
The home owners in the native white complete group received an
average of $197 in nonmoney income from home ownership. Their
median income of $1,549 exceeded the average income of renters by
approximately $500. The tenant families paid an average of $18.00
per month for rent; this average rent amounted to 18 percent of their
income.
Logansport
Logansport's median income of $1,035 was $10 lower than that
found in Connellsville. As in Connellsville, approximately one-half
(49 percent) of all families in Logansport had less than $1,000 annual
income. Of all families, 36 percent reported annual incomes which
ranged between $1,000 and $2,000; 11 percent, between $2,000 and

107
$3,000; and only 4 percent obtained incomes equalling or exceeding
$3,000.
Of the cities surveyed in the East Central region, Logansport alone
showed as high a median for foreign-born families as for the native
white group; these medians were $1,036 and $1,033,respectively. For
native white families which contained both husband and wife, how
ever, a median income of $1,155 existed. The nonrelief families in
this group (one-third of which reported less than $1,000 for the year)
received a median income of $1,303.
I n c o m e o j occupational g ro u p s.— The median income for the 58 per
cent of Logansport families classified in the wage-earner group
amounted to only $965. Clerical occupations claimed 14 percent of
the families and yielded a median income of $1,247. About 11 per
cent of the families were supported primarily by earnings secured from
independent business pursuits and 8 percent by workers in profes
sional or salaried business occupations. The median income for all
business and professional groups combined was $1,370. The median
income of $448 obtained by the 9 percent of the families which were
classified as “ other” was the highest average for this group in the
nine cities.
In c o m e o j f a m i l y co m p o sitio n g ro u p s. — Almost three-fourths of
Logansport^ native white families included husband and wife.
These complete families secured a median income of $1,155 as com
pared with $721 for the incomplete group. M ore than one-half of the
families which contained both husband and wife were composed of
husband and wife only (type I) or contained an additional adult (type
IV ). The former group represented 30 percent of the complete
families, while type IV with an additional adult accounted for 25 per
cent. Families of type IV were as infrequent, proportionately, at the
bottom of the income scale as were families with five or six adults (type
V III). Families obtaining incomes of $3,000 and over, however, were
twice as numerous proportionately in type V III as in type IV (14 per
cent versus 7 percent).
The average native white complete family in Logansport had 3.59
members. Self-supporting families were somewhat smaller than this
average (3.46 persons) while relief families were larger (4.31).
S ou rces o j f a m i l y in c o m e . — Nonearned money income comprised a
slightly larger proportion (9 percent) of the aggregate income of fam
ilies in Logansport than in the other eight East Central cities. M oney
income from earnings made up 85 percent of total income while the
remaining 6 percent was nonmoney income imputed to home owners
or resulting from housing received without direct money expense.
The total contribution of principal earners amounted to 75 percent
of the aggregate income of all families; supplementary earners con
tributed only 9 percent. Earnings from work not attributable to
108
F A M IL Y
IN C O M E

CENTRAL
R E G IO N
individual family members, such as net revenue from roomers and
boarders and pay for casual work carried on in the home, accounted
for 1 percent of the aggregate income of Logansport families.
H o m e tenure an d in c o m e . — Home ownership was more prevalent in
Logansport than in the other East Central cities studied. Of all
families, 51 percent were owners and of the native white group, 49
percent owned the homes in which they lived in 1935-36. That the
proportion of home owners varied with size of family income was
indicated clearly for the native white husband-wife families; in the
income class under $1,000, 33 percent reported ownership; this pro
portion rose to 62 percent at the $2,000 to $3,000 level; and to 73
percent at the $5,000-and-over level. Home owners received a
median income of $1,382 for the year.
The median income of renters in the native white complete group
was $979. Their average rent of $13.90 per month amounted, on a
yearly basis, to 15 percent of income.
M attoon
The lowest median income found in these nine cities of the East
Central region was that of M a tto on ’s families ($936). M ore than half
(or 53 percent) of all families received annual incomes lower than
$1,000. Only 31 percent secured incomes ranging between $1,000 and
$2,000; 11 percent, between $2,000 and $3,000; while the remaining 5
percent obtained $3,000 or more annual income.
All native white families containing both husband and wife received
a median income of $1,065 as compared with $1,375 for the nonrelief
families in this nativity group. As many as 8 percent of these selfsupporting families obtained $3,000 or more for the year; 31 percent
received less than $1,000.
I n c o m e o f occu pation al g ro u p s .— The low median income of all the
families in the city results from the fact that the wage-earner group,
which comprised three-fifths of all M attoon 's families, had the lowest
median found for this occupational group in any of these nine East
Central cities ($826). The 13 percent of the families dependent on
clerical pursuits received a median income of $1,413 which was approxi
mately $600 higher than the wage-earner average. M oreover, the
income of clerical families slightly exceeded that of the business and
professional group (median income, $1,405), in which 17 percent of the
families were classified.
In c o m e o f f a m i l y co m p o sitio n g ro u p s. — Of every four native white
families in M attoon , three contained both husband and wife. These
complete families secured a median income of $1,065 while the median
income of incomplete families was only $595. In the complete group
of families, those consisting of only the married couple were the most
F A M IL Y

prevalent, comprising 26 percent of the group. The type next in
importance, numerically, was that with an adult and possibly one other
person in addition to the husband and wife (type I V ) ; 20 percent of the
families were of this composition. Although relatively unimportant
numerically, families with five or six adults (type V III) were distin
guished by the relatively high level of the family income. About 27
percent of the families of this type, as compared with only 6 percent of
all native white complete families, obtained $3,000 or more in annual
income.
M attoon’s families were slightly larger, on the average, than were
families in any of the East Central cities covered, other than Connellsville. For all native white complete families, the average size was
3.84 persons.
S ou rces o f f a m i l y in c o m e .— Of every $100 which M at toon families
obtained during the period studied, $88 was earned money income.
Of this amount $79 was contributed by the chief breadwinner; slightly
more than $9 was earned by other members of the family and almost $2
represented earnings from work not attributable to individual family
members. Approximately $7 of the remaining income was money
income from such sources as interest, dividends, rents, gifts, etc., while
$5 represented nonmoney income from housing.
H o m e tenure and in c o m e .— Hom e ownership was as prevalent among
M attoon’s native white families as among families of all nativities
combined (48 percent). The proportion of home owners in the native
white complete group reached 87 percent among families obtaining
annual incomes equalling or exceeding $5,000.
Although only $126 was imputed to M attoon’s home owners among
native white complete families, a disparity of almost $600 occurred
between the median incomes of owners and renters ($1,382 as com
pared with $802). The average monthly rent of $14.10 paid by these
tenants represented about one-sixth of their income.
Peru
One-half of Peru’s family population reported incomes of less than
$1,000 for the year (median income, $1,004). Incomes between $1,000
and $2,000 were received by 34 percent of all families; incomes of
$2,000 to $3,000 by 12 percent; and incomes of $3,000 or more by
only 4 percent.
When the analysis is confined to native white families which con
tained both husband and wife (“ complete” families) a median income
of $1,164 is obtained. B y further limitation of the analysis to the
nonrelief families in this group, the midpoint is raised to $1,322. Of
these families less than one-third were in the income brackets under
$1,000; 5 percent had incomes equal to or exceeding $3,000.

In c o m e o j occu pation al g r o u p s .— Three out of every five families
in Peru received their chief earnings from wage-earner occupations.
Of these wage-earner families, one-half secured less than $989 in annual
income. Clerical occupations, which supported 12 percent of all fami
lies, yielded a median income of $1,221— this was the lowest average
income for clerical families in any of the nine cities. Also the lowest
was the median income of $1,324 obtained by business and professional
families in Peru. Of the 18 percent of the families classified as business
and professional, more than half (10 percent of all families) were in
the independent business group.
In c o m e o f j a m i l y co m p o sitio n g ro u p s. — Approximately 77 percent of
Peru’s native white families contained both husband and wife. These
families obtained a median income ($1,164) which was almost double
that of the native white families which lacked a married pair ($604).
The complete families were concentrated in type I (husband and wife
only). Three-tenths of the families were of this composition while
another two-tenths contained one or two persons in addition to the
married couple (type I V ). As large a proportion of families in type
IV as in type V I I I (which contains five or six adults) secured incomes
of $3,000 or more— 8 percent of each. But the concentration of
families in the income classes below $1,000 was more marked for type
I V than for type V I I I (33 percent as compared with 22 percent).
The native white complete families contained an average of 3.65
members. Nonrelief families receiving incomes between $1,500 and
$2,000 were definitely larger than were families attaining incomes of
$3,000 or more (3.70 as compared with 3.59). The average number of
adult members in the family, however, increased consistently with
each rise in income.
S ou rces o j f a m i l y in c o m e .— Among these nine East Central cities,
Peru was most dependent upon the contributions of principal earners.
Eighty-one percent of the aggregate income came from this source.
Supplementary earnings accounted for 7 percent of family income
while 1 percent represented earnings not attributable to individual
family members. Thus, all but 11 percent of the total income con
sisted of earnings from gainful occupations. Nonearned money income
and the money value of housing received without direct expense were
almost equally important sources of family income as they each
comprised between 5 and 6 percent of the aggregate.
The contrast between the relative importance of sources of earnings
among native white complete and incomplete families was most
marked in Peru. The chief breadwinner supplied 93 percent of all
earnings in the families containing husband and wife but only 73
percent in the incomplete families. Supplementary earners and joint
family enterprises provided 19 and 8 percent, respectively, of the

earnings of incomplete families as compared with 6 and 1 percent of
the earned income of complete families.
H o m e tenure and in c o m e . — One-half of the native white families in
Peru were home owners. The incidence of ownership increased with
each rise in income level; whereas only 34 percent of the native white
complete families with less than $1,000 income owned their dwelling
quarters, 80 percent of the families obtaining incomes between $3,000
and $5,000 reported home ownership. Home owners secured a
median income of $1,455, a figure considerably higher than the median
of $971 received by renting families. The average monthly rent of
$13.30 paid by tenants among Peru’s native white complete families
was the lowest rental average reported for any of these nine cities.
The rent item accounted for only 14 percent of the annual income of
renters.
Chapter V III
Summary
The preceding analyses of nativity, occupation, and family com
position have been made in terms of the entire range of income in
nine East Central cities. In this final chapter, we shall summarize
the important characteristics of all the families in each of four m ajor
income groups: (1) under $1,000; (2) $1,000 to $2,000; (3) $2,000 to
$3,000; (4) $3,000 and above.1
F a m ilie s w ith in com es o j less than $ 1 ,0 0 0 .— Families receiving
incomes of less than $1,000 comprised approximately one-half of the
family population in Connellsville, Logansport, M attoon, and Peru.
In the remaining five cities, families in this lowest income group were
proportionately less numerous; in Columbus only slightly more than
one-third of the families were included.
Families with incomes of less than $1,000 were predominantly
native-born white despite the fact that Negro and foreign-born white
families tended to be more prevalent in this low income group than
at higher levels. From approximately 6 out of 10 (New Castle and
Beaver Falls) to more than 9 out of 10 (Logansport, M attoon, and
Peru) of the families under consideration were native white. Negro
and other color families comprised as much as two-tenths of the family
population of Columbus but represented only a negligible proportion
of the group (about 2 percent) in Logansport, M attoon, and Peru.
The proportion of foreign-born families in this group receiving less
than $1,000 income varied considerably from city to city. As many
as 36 percent of the families in New Castle and 32 percent in Beaver
Falls were foreign-born white, but the percentage was considerably
lower in the other communities, being as low as 2 percent in Logans
port, M attoon, and Peru.
Of every 10 families whose funds were below $1,000 for the
year, approximately 6 (Connellsville) to 7 (Muncie) derived their
chief earnings from wage-earner pursuits. The classification which
included families with no gainfully employed members as well as
farmers living inside the city was next most important numerically,
claiming as many as 22 percent of the low-income families of Con
nellsville and between 12 and 17 percent in the other cities. Families

engaged in independent business comprised between 9 and 14 percent
of the group; most of the entrepreneurial group at the income level
of under $1,000 were operating small-scale businesses which yielded
low or irregular returns or were occupied primarily in keeping roomers
and boarders. Only slightly less numerous than the independent
business group were the families of clerical workers; they constituted
from 6 to 10 percent of all families receiving less than $1,000 for the
year. At this income level only between 1 and 3 percent of the fam
ilies followed professional or salaried business pursuits.
The incomplete families concentrated at the lowest income ievel
because many of these families have lost their traditional source of
support. Of the native white families in this income bracket in six
of the cities, approximately one-third lacked a married couple. In
the other three cities, the proportion of incomplete families was even
higher.
The native white families containing both husband and wife merit
consideration in greater detail because of their importance in the total
population. It is, of course, in the income class below the $1,000 level
that we should expect to find the greatest concentration of families
receiving public assistance. Of the native white complete families
with incomes under $1,000, only between 46 percent (New Castle
and Connellsville) and 68 percent (Muncie) had been self-supporting
during the entire year.
Nonrelief families with incomes of less than $1,000 for the year were
considerably smaller, on the average, than families of relief recipients
or families at the higher income levels. The native white complete
nonrelief families contained an average of 3.1 persons in Columbus,
3.7 members in Connellsville, and, in each of the other seven East
Central cities, 3.3 persons. The small size of nonrelief families having
less than $1,000 in income is associated with a low average number of
earners per family. For the group under consideration, the number of
earners averaged only slightly more than one per family (from 1.04
in New Castle to 1.18 in M attoon).
The importance of secondary earners in supplementing family
income is apparent when one notes that the earnings of principal
breadwinners among families in this income bracket averaged only
between $599 (Logansport) and $692 (Beaver Falls). In New Castle
and Connellsville 4 percent and 6 percent, respectively, of the families
received earnings from members other than the chief earner; in the
other cities, the proportion ranged from 10 to 16 percent. Secondary
earners contributed between $118 and $199 to the exchequers of
native white families which contained a married pair. M uch of the
difference between the average earnings of principal and of supple
mentary earners appears to be related to the sex of the worker.
Whereas more than nine-tenths of the chief breadwinners were males,
114
F A M IL Y

EA ST
CENTRAL
R E G IO N
women comprised between four-tenths and eight-tenths of the
secondary earner group.
Among nonrelief native white complete families with incomes
under $1,000 home ownership was less frequent than at the higher
income levels. Considerable intercity variation in the proportion of
owners was apparent. Only about a third or fewer of the native
white complete families in Columbus, Springfield, Muncie, New
Castle, and Connellsville were home owners, but from 36 percent
(Beaver Falls) to 45 percent (M attoon) of the families in the other
cities owned their dwellings. Renting families in Columbus paid the
highest average m onthly rent, $18.70, an amount which represented
three-tenths of their average monthly incomes. A t the other extreme,
the lowest average rent of $11.30 which was paid by tenant families
in the small city of Logansport amounted to only two-tenths of their
income.
F a m ilie s w ith in c o m es f r o m $ 1 ,0 0 0 to $ 2 ,0 0 0 .— Families securing
incomes between $1,000 and $2,000 comprised another large group in
these East Central cities; they represented between 31 percent
(M attoon) and 43 percent (Muncie) of the family population. In
Columbus and Muncie, families at this income level were more
numerous than were families having less than $1,000 annual income.
The predominance of native white families was even more striking
at the $1,000 to $2,000 level than in the bottom income class. Except
in New Castle, where slightly more than three-tenths of the families
were foreign-born, the heads of at least 7 out of every 10 families were
of the white race and had been born in this country. In Muncie,
Logansport, M attoon, and Peru, native white families comprised
about 95 percent of the total family population.
As at the lowest income level, wage-earner families represented
more than half of the group receiving between $1,000 and $2,000 in
annual income. Wage earners were least numerous, proportionately,
in this income bracket in Columbus and Springfield (53 and 52 per
cent respectively), and most numerous in New Castle, where 71 per
cent were dependent primarily upon wage earners. A t this income
level, unlike the one already discussed, families of farmers and families
without earnings from occupation were relatively infrequent, com
prising only 4 percent or less of all families.
Clerical families formed a substantial portion of the group obtain
ing incomes of $1,000 to $2,000. Between 12 and 27 percent of the
families were classified as clerical; in most of the cities, clerical families
were about one and one-half to three times as numerous, propor
tionately, as were independent business families. Even when grouped
together, professional and salaried business activities engaged about
one-tenth or fewer of the families at this income level in each of these
nine cities.
SU M M A R Y
115
Between eight- and nine-tenths of the native white families receiv
ing incomes of $1,000 to $2,000 contained both a husband and wife.
These complete families were somewhat larger than the ones at the
lowest income level and averaged between 3.4 and 4.0 members per
family. A corresponding difference between the average number of
earners in these families and in the families having less than $1,000
income was evident. The number of earners per native white com
plete family in this income bracket ranged from 1.11 in New Castle to
1.33 in Logansport. But the lower number of earners in New Castle
was partially compensated for by the high average earnings of the prin
cipal earner ($1,293) as compared with the average in Logansport of
only $1,206 at this income level.
Home ownership was more prevalent at this income level than
among families with incomes less than $1,000, but only in M attoon
did as many as one out of two nonrelief native white families contain
ing a married couple own its home. In Columbus only one out of
every three of these families reported home ownership. Tenants paid
an average monthly rent ranging from $14.90 in Peru to $24.70 in
Springfield. These average monthly rents exceeded the averages
paid by families with incomes of less than $1,000 by about $3 to $7;
the rent item, however, amounted to only between 13 and 21 percent
of the incomes of renting families receiving between $1,000 and $2,000
for the year.
F a m ilie s w ith in com es f r o m $ 2 ,0 0 0 to $ 3 ,0 0 0 .— Families reporting
incomes from $2,000 to $3,000 constituted only between 10 percent
(Beaver Falls) and 16 percent (Columbus and Springfield) of all
families in these nine East Central cities. Foreign-born and Negro
families were unimportant numerically at this income level except in
New Castle, Beaver Falls, and Connellsville where the foreign-born
families comprised 26, 17, and 14 percent, respectively, of all families.
In the other cities at least nine-tenths of the family population was
native white.
Wage earners were less frequent at this income class than at the lower
levels, but they still represented at least half of the families in New
Castle, Connells ville, Logansport, and Peru. From about two to
four out of every ten families derived their chief earned income from
business and professional occupations. The business and professional
classification was no longer composed primarily of independent busi
ness families; the salaried professional and salaried business families
vied with the independent business group for numerical importance.
Restricting our further analysis to the native white families which
contained both husband and wife (a group comprising between eightand nine-tenths of the native white family population), we find an
average of 3.5 to 4.2 persons per family at this income level.

As would be expected, more earners were required to attain incomes
of $2,000 to $3,000 than of less than $2,000. In New Castle there was
an average of 1.27 earners per fam ily, while in Beaver Falls the
average reached 1.53. The money earnings of the chief breadwinner
averaged between $1,809 (Beaver Falls) and $2,044 (Peru)— amounts
approximately three to five times as great as the average contribution
of supplementary earners.
In each city half or more of the native white nonrelief complete
families were home owners. The renting families obtaining incomes
of $2,000 to $3,000 paid from $21.00 (in Peru) to $34.00 (in Columbus)
per month for housing. Their rent for the year amounted to between
11 and 17 percent of their annual income.
F a m ilie s w ith in com es o f $ S f l 0 0 or m o r e .— At this highest income
level, there remains for our consideration only a small proportion of
the families in these nine cities. They comprised 10 percent of the
family population in Columbus and Springfield, 6 percent in Beaver
Falls, and 4 or 5 percent of the families in the other cities.
A t least nine-tenths of the families in seven of the East Central
cities were native white. In Beaver Falls and Connellsville, however,
foreign-born families comprised 28 percent and 22 percent, respec
tively, of the group and were more numerous, proportionately, at this
income level than at the level of $2,000 to $3,000.
Showing a distinct contrast to the occupational distribution of
families with less than $3,000 income for the year, we find that about
five to seven out of every ten families which attained incomes of $3,000
and over were in business and professional occupations. The occu
pational distribution of Connells ville is an exception here in that only
44 percent of the Connellsville families at this income level were
classified as business and professional. Of the four business and pro
fessional classifications, salaried business claimed the most families
in five cities; and independent professional, the least in six cities.
Wage-earner families were definitely less numerous than at the
lower income levels, representing from 14 percent of the group in
Columbus and Springfield to 36 percent in M attoon. Except in
Columbus and Springfield, where one-fourth of the families followed
clerical pursuits, fewer families were classified in the clerical than in
the wage-earner group.
From eight-tenths to more than nine-tenths of the native white
families at the top of the income scale contained both husband and
wife; it is with these families that the remainder of the chapter will be
concerned. Families in this income class were the largest families in
the nonrelief group, averaging between 3.5 and 4.4 members per
family. Additional adult members served as secondary earners in
many of the families. They accounted in large measure for the
larger family size found in this, as compared with the lower-income
SUMMARY
117
ievels. Whereas the income group under $1,000 averaged only about
five or six earners to every five families, in the highest income bracket
there was an average of seven to nine earners to every five families.
But even without these additional earners, the average earnings of
chief breadwinners (ranging from $2,925 to $3,505) would have been
sufficient in all but two of the cities to place the families at the top
of the income scale.
Associated with rise in income level, the increase in home owner
ship reaches the peak in this income bracket. Approximately three
or four out of every five native white complete families which secured
incomes of at least $3,000 were home owners. The highest rents
were paid by Springfield families and averaged $45.50 per month.
This average rent was almost $20 higher than that paid by Peru
families at this income level. The housing expense represented 10
percent or less of family income in four of the cities but even where it
was highest (Springfield) rent claimed only 14 percent of income of
families having at least $3,000 income for the year.

Tables presented on the following pages show the distribution of
families by income class, by family type, by occupational group, and
by color and nativity group in nine cities in the East Central region:

Data on family income, earners, and housing are shown according to
these major classifications. The tables are presented in three sections.
S ectio n A tables show the estimated distribution of all families in
each of the cities according to income, color and nativity, and occu
pational group.
S ectio n B tables present data only for the native white “ complete”
families— those containing both husband and wife, except for Columbus,
Ohio, for which tables show data for complete Negro families also.
The collection of expenditure data, presented in volume II, was limited
to families in these groups. The size of these samples from which fami
lies were selected to give expenditure data was, therefore, made sub
stantially larger than other samples. The tables in this section
accordingly are more complete and detailed than those in sections
A and C. (For a distribution of the native white families and Columbus
Negro families according to the periods covered by the report year,
see table 19.)
S ection C tables present summarized data for native white incom
plete, foreign-born white complete and incomplete, and Negro com
plete and incomplete families similar to those presented in more
detail for the native white complete families in section B. The data
in sections B and C tables form the basis for the estimated frequency
distribution of all families given in section A tables.
A v e r a g e s .— Unless otherwise specified on the table, averages re
ported in the tables are based on all families scheduled at the given
income level, regardless of whether each family reported data con
tributing to the particular average. In order to obtain an average
only for families reporting data for a specified item, multiply the
average for all families by the total number of families in the income
class, and divide the resulting aggregate by the number of families in
the income class reporting the specific item.
A discussion of the sampling methods employed in securing the data
recorded in these tables will be found in appendix B.

The three tables in this section present estimated distributions of
native white, foreign-born white, and Negro families in each of the
nine cities of the East Central region by income class, color and
nativity group, and occupational group.
Samples of varying size were secured for each of the nativity groups.
The frequencies of families in these samples as reported in sections
B and C of the Tabular Summary form the basis upon which the dis
tributions shown in the following section A tables were estimated.
In order to obtain these approximate total distributions, the following
weights were applied to the individual samples:

3 Families in this group excluded from sec. A tables due to their relative infrequency.
It is not to be assumed that the data are accurate to the number of
digits shown in these weights, but in order to arrive at the totals
estimated for each community these weights with six decimal places
should be used. For description of the method used in securing
these weights, see appendix A on sampling procedure.

1 A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an incomplete
family, if the head is native born), otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is classified
as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife, and as an incomplete family if it does not include
both husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See appendix B for
further explanations.

1 A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an incomplete
family, if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is classified
as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife, and as an incomplete family if it does not include
both husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See appendix B for
further explanations.
2This and subsequent tables exclude Negro families and families of other color because of their relative
infrequency.

1Includes 394 families classified in the occupational group “ Other,” who are not included in tables 4A,
p. 155 to p. 157. These families had 5 principal earners.
3 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
5 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4 Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) through (7).
♦Averages not computed for fewer than 3 cases.

* See glossary for definition of ‘ 'earnings.”
2 Includes 204 families, 151 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings and no
business losses met from family funds; 5 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had business losses met
from family funds and no money income other than earnings, and 1 family which was nonrelief, which had
both money income and business losses met from family funds. There were, therefore, 205 families, 152 of
which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings, whether or not they had business
losses met from family funds; and there were 6 families, all of which were nonrelief which had business losses
met from family funds, whether or not they had money income other than earnings. These latter 6 families
were found in the following income classes: $0-$249, 1; $500-$749, 1; $750-$999, 2; $1,000-$1,249, 1; $2,000$2,249, 1. See glossary for definitions of “ money income other than earnings” and “business losses.”
3 The total of the numbers of families in columns (6) and (7), since no family reported nonmoney income
from both sources.
4 Includes families with losses from owned homes as well as families whose estimated rental value of
owned homes for the period of ownership and occupancy exceeded estimated expenses allocable to that pe
riod. There were 45 families, 38 of which were nonrelief, with losses from owned homes (i. e., families whose
estimated rental value was less than estimated expenses). The latter 38 families were found in the following
income classes: $250-$499, 1; $500-$749, 4; $750-$999, 9; $1,000-$1,249, 8; $1,250-$1,499, 7; $1,750-$1,999, 5;
$2,000-$2,249, 1; $2,250-$2,499, 1; $3,000-$3,999, 1; $4,000-$4,999, 1.

1 Includes 16 families classified in the occupational group “ Other,” who are not included in tables 4A,
p. 203 to p. 205. These families had no principal earners.
2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases
in which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
2 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4
Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) through (7).
•Averages not computed for fewer than 3 cases.

1 Excludes a small number of families which had nonfamily members in the household but which did not report the duration of their membership. See glossary for definition of
“ nonfamily members.”
2 Averages in each column are based on the corresponding counts of families, in columns (3) through (10). The number of nonfamily members is expressed in terms of year-equiva
lent persons. This figure is computed for each family by dividing by 52 the total number of weeks of residence in the household for all nonmembers of the economic family.
*Averages not computed for fewer than 3 cases.

1 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
2Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) and (4).
3 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases
in which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
4Includes 62 families classified in occupational group “ Other.” These families had 5 principal earners.

2 Includes 440 families, 386 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings and no
business losses met from family funds; 25 families, 24 of which were nonrelief, which had business losses
met from family funds and no money income other than earnings, and 2 families, both of which were non
relief, which had both money income and business losses met from family funds. There were, therefore,
442 families, 388 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings, whether or not they
had business losses met from family funds; and there were 27 families, 26 of which were nonrelief, which had
business losses met from family funds, whether or not they had money income other than earnings. These
latter 26 families were found in the following income classes: $500-$749, 1; $750-$$999, 3; $1,000-$1,249, 4;
$1,250-$1,499, 2; $1,500-$1,749, 2; $1,750-$1,999, 2; $2,000-$2,249, 1; $2,250-$2,499, 3; $2,500-$2,999, 2; $3,000$3,999, 4; $4,000-$4,999, 1; $5,000 and over, 1. See glossary for definitions of “ money income other than earn
ings” and “ business losses.”

homes for the period of ownership and occupancy exceeded estimated expenses allocable to that period.
There were 45 families, 30 of which were nonrelief, with losses from owned homes (i. e., families whose esti
mated rental value was less than estimated expenses). The latter 30 families were found in the following
income classes: $0-$249, 1; $500-$749, 2; $750-$999, 1; $1,000-$1,249, 9; $1,250-$1,499, 4; $1,500~$1,749, 3; $1,750$1,999, 2; $2,000-$2,249, 2; $2,250-$2,499, 3; $2,500-$2,999, 2; $5,000 and over, 1. Excludes 1 family whose

1 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
2 Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) and (4).
3 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases
in which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
4 Includes 67 families classified in occupational group “ other.” These families had no principal earners.

business losses met from family funds; 13 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had business losses
met from family funds and no money income other than earnings, and 4 families, all of which were nonrelief,
which had both money income and business losses met from family funds. There were, therefore, 772
families, 705 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings, whether or not they had
business losses met from family funds; and there were 17 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had
business losses met from family funds, whether or not they had money income other than earnings. These

1 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
1 Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) and (4).
* The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only 1 principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
4 Includes 127 families classified in occupational group “other.” These families had 11 principal earners.

1 See glossary for definition of “ earnings.”
3 Includes 355 families, 318 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings and no
business losses met from family funds; 6 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had business losses met
from family funds and no money income other than earnings, and 5 families, all of which were nonrelief,
which had both money income and business losses met from family funds. There were, therefore, 360 fam
ilies, 323 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings, whether or not they had
business losses met from family funds; and there were 11 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had
business losses, met from family funds, whether or not they had money income other than earnings. These
latter 11 families were found in the following income classes: $750-$999, 1; $1,000~$1,249, 2; $1,250-$1,499, 2;
$1,500-$1,749, 1; $1,750-$1,999, 2; $2,000-$2,249, 1; $2,500-$2,999, 2. See glossary for definitions of “ money
income other than earnings” and “ business losses.”
3 The total of the numbers of families in column (6) and (7), since no family reported nonmoney income
from both sources.
4 Includes families with losses from owned homes, as well as families whose estimated rental value of owned
homes for the period of ownership and occupancy exceeded estimated expenses allocable to that period.
There were 30 families, 28 of which were nonrelief, with losses from owned homes (i. e., families whose esti
mated rental value was less than estimated expenses). The latter 28 families were found in the following
income classes: $500-$749, 1; $750-$999, 5; $1,000-$1,249, 5; $1,250-$1,499, 6; $1,500-$1,749, 3; $1,750-$1,999, 2;
$2,000-$2,249, 1; $2,250-$2,499, 2; $2,500-$2,999, 2; $3,000-$3,999, 1.

1 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
2 Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) and (4).
3 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
* Includes 28 families classified in occupational group “ Other."
These families had no principal earners.
* Averages not computed for fewer than 3 cases.

1 See glossary for definition of “ earnings.”
Includes 267 families, 224 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings and no
business losses met from family funds; 9 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had business losses met
from family funds and no money income other than earnings, and 5 families, all of which were nonrelief,
which had both money income and business losses met from family funds. There were therefore, 272 fami
lies, 229 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings, whether or not they had busi
ness losses met from family funds; and there were 14 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had business
losses met from family funds, whether or not they had money income other than earnings. These latter 14
families were found in the following income classes: $0-$249, 2; $1,000-$1,249, 2; $1,250-$1,499,1; $1,500-$1,749,
2; $1,750-$1,999, 2; $2,000-$2,249, 2; $2,250-$2,499, 2; $2,500-$2,999, 1. See glossary for definitions of “money
income other than earnings” and “business losses.”
3 The total of the numbers of families in columns (6) and (7), since no family reported nonmoney income
from both sources.
4 Includes families with losses from owned homes, as well as families whose estimated rental value of
owned homes for the period of ownership and occupancy exceeded estimated expenses allocable to that
period. There were 18 families, 16 of which were nonrelief, with losses from owned homes (i. e., families
whose estimated rental value was less than estimated expenses). The latter 16 families were found in
the following income classes: $500-$749, 1; $750-$999, 1; $1,000-$1,249, 1; $1,250-$1,499, 2; $1,500-$1,749, 3;
$1,750-$1,999, 2; $2,000-$2,249,1; $2,250-$2,499, 2; $3,000-$3,999, 3. Excludes 2 families whose estimated rental

Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) and (4).
3 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
Includes 48 families classified in occupational group “ other.” These families had no principal earners.
* Averages not computed for fewer than 3 cases.

1 See glossary for definition of “ earnings.”
Includes 503 families, 417 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings and
no business losses met from family funds; 9 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had business losses
met from family funds, and no money income other than earnings, and 4 families, all of which were nonrelief,
which had both money income and business losses met from family funds. There were, therefore, 507 fam
ilies, 422 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings, whether or not they had
business losses met from family funds; and there were 13 families, all of which were nonrelief, which had
business losses met from family funds, whether or not they had money income other than earnings. These
latter 13 families were found in the following income classes: $250-499, 1; $1,000-$1,249, 3; $1,250-$1,499, 2;
$1,500-$1,749,2; $1,750-$1,999,1; $2,000-$2,249,3; $3,000-$3,999,1. See glossary for definitions of ‘ ‘money income
other than earnings” and “ business losses.”
The total of the numbers of families in column and 7, since no family reported nonmoney income
from both sources.
Includes families with losses from owned homes, as well as families whose estimated rental value of
owned homes for the period of ownership and occupancy exceeded estimated expenses allocable to that
period. There were 29 families, 23 of which were nonrelief, with losses from owned homes (i. e., families
whose estimated rental value was less than estimated expenses). The latter 23 families were found in the
following income classes: $0-$249, 1; $250-$499, 2; $500-$749, 3; $750-$999, 4; $1,000-$1,249, 1; $1,250-$1,499, 4;
$1,500-$1,749, 3; $1,750-$1,999, 1; $2,250-$2,499, 3; $2,500-$2,999, 1.
Excludes 5 families whose estimated rental value of owned homes was equal to estimated expenses.

1 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
2 Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) and (4).
2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
* Includes 101 families classified in occupational group “ Other.” These families had 21 principal earners.

1 See glossary for definition of “ earnings.”
2 Includes 407 families, 337 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings and
no business losses met from family funds; 16 families, 14 of which were nonrelief, which had business losses
met from family funds and no money income other than earnings; and 9 families, 8 of which were nonrelief,
which had both money income and business losses met from family funds. There were, therefore, 416
families, 345 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings, whether or not they
had business losses met from family funds; and there were 25 families, 22 of which were nonrelief, which
had business losses met from family funds, whether or not they had money income other than earnings.
These latter 22 families were found in the following income classes: $0-$249, 4; $250-$499, 4; $500-$749, 2;
$750-$999, 3; $1,250-$1,499, 2; $1,500-$1,749, 1; $1,750-$1,999, 2; $2,500-$2,999, 3; $3,000-$3,999, 1. See glossary
for definitions of “ money income other than earnings” and “ business losses.”
3 The total of the number of families in columns (6) and (7), since no family reported nonmoney income
from both sources.
4 Includes families with losses from owned homes, as well as families, whose estimated rental value of
owned homes for the period of ownership and occupancy exceeded estimated expenses allocable to that
period. There were 114 families, 89 of which were nonrelief, with losses from owned homes (i. e., families
whose estimated rental value was less than estimated expenses). The latter 89 families were found in the
following income classes: $0-$249, 4; $250-$499, 7; $500-$749, 7; $750-$999, 20; $1,000-$1,249, 12; $1,250-$1,499,
16; $1,500-$1,749, 4; $1,750-$1,999, 10; $2,000-$2,249, 3; $2,250-$2,499, 3; $2,500-$2,999, 1; $3,00Q-$3,999, 2. Ex
cludes 12 families whose estimated rental value of owned homes was equal to estimated expenses.

1 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
3 Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) and (4).
3 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between
the totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases
In which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
4 Includes 70 families classified in occupational group “ other.” These families had 11 principal earners

2 Includes 322 families, 281 of which were nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings and no
business losses met from family funds; 2 families, both of which were nonrelief, which had business losses
met from family funds and no money income other than earnings, and no families which had both money
income and business losses met from family funds. There were, therefore, 322 families, 281 of which were
nonrelief, which had money income other than earnings, whether or not they had business losses met from
family funds; and there were 2 families, both of which were nonrelief, which had business losses met from
family funds, whether or not they had money income other than earnings. These latter 2 families were
found in the following income classes: $1,500-$1,749, 1; $1,750-$1,999, 1.
See glossary for definitions of
“ money income other than earnings” and “ business losses.”

The total of the numbers of families in columns (6) and (7), since no family reported nonmoney income
from both sources.
* Includes families with losses from owned homes, as well as families whose estimated rental value of
owned homes for the period of ownership and occupancy exceeded estimated expenses allocable to that
period. There were 65 families, 56 of which were nonrelief, with losses from owned homes (i. e., families
whose estimated rental value was less than estimated expenses). The latter 56 families were found in the
following income classes: $0-$249, 1; $250-$499, 4; $500-$749, 4; $750-$999, 10; $1,000-$1,249, 12; $1,250-$1,499,

1 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
2 Averages in this section of the table are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in columns
(3) and (4).
3 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
4 Includes 66 families classified in occupational group “ Other.” These families had 5 principal earners.

1Excludes a small number of families which had nonfamily members in the household but which did not report the duration of their membership. See glossary for definition of
“ nonfamily members.”
2 Averages in each column are based on the corresponding counts of families, in columns (3) through (10). The number of nonfamily members is expressed in terms of year-equiv

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent tables.
A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an incomplete
family, if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is classified
as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife; as an incomplete family if it does not include both
husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary for further
definitions. Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size no
combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the
explanatory note of sec. A.
2 See sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white and Negro complete families.
3 Relief families are distributed according to their income, which excludes direct relief received in cash
or kind.

1 Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations
of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory
note of sec. A.
2 The averages in each column are based on all families, column (2), whether or not they received income
from the specified source. See glossary for definition of terms.
3 Includes all families that owned homes during the report year (see table 7, cols. 2, 6, and 10) as well as
6 native white incomplete and 1 foreign born white family who received rent as pay.
4 Represents the estimated rental value of owned homes for the period of ownership and occupancy, less
estimated expenses allocable to that period and the value of rent received as pay.
« Includes families having money income other than earnings, families having business losses met from
family funds, and families having both such income and such losses.
8 Includes money income other than earnings, after deduction of business losses met from family funds.
7
Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.
*Averages not computed for fewer than 3 cases.
♦♦These averages are based on 41 families, since 1 family did not report income from owned home.

1 Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations
of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory
note of sec. A .
2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
3 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4 Averages in this column are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in column (3). Aver
age earnings of principal earners according to sex were as follows:

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent
tables. A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an incom
plete family if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is
classified as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife; as an incomplete family if it does not
include both husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary
for further definitions. There are 14 foreign-born families not shown on this or any of the subsequent tables,
due to their relative infrequency. Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of
different size, no combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights
shown in the explanatory note of sec. A .
2 See sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white complete families.
3 Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.
4 Relief families are distributed according to their income, which excludes direct rel ef received in cash
or kind.

1 Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combination
of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory
note of sec A.
The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only 1 principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
3 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4 Averages in this column are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in column (3). Aver
age earnings of principal earners according to sex were as follows:

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent tables.
A family classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an incomplete
family if the head is native born): otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is classified,
as a complete family | it includes both husband and wife; as an incomplete family if it does not include both
if
husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary for further
definitions. Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no
combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the
explanatory note of sec. A.
2 See sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white complete families.
2 Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.

1 Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations
of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory
note of sec. A.
2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases
in which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
3 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4 Averages in this column are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in column (3). Aver
age earnings of principal earners according to sex were as follows:

1 Families are classified as home-owning or renting families according to their status at the date of
interview. Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no
combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown |in
the explanatory note of sec. A.
Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.
3 Based on estimate made by home owner for period of ownership and occupancy during report year.
Averages are based on the number of home-owning families as of end of report year.
4 Rent reported at date of interview. Averages are based on the number of renting families in each class
that reported monthly rent, including families receiving rent as gift, the amount of which was estimated by
the family.
*Averages not computed for fewer than 3 cases.
**Rent not reported for 2 families.

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent
tables. A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an incom
plete family if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is classi
fied as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife; as a incomplete family if it does not include
both husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary for
further definitions. Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size,
no combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in
the explanatory note of sec. A.
See sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white complete families.
3 Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.
* Relief families are distributed according to their income, which excludes direct relief received in cash or
kind.

1Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations
of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory
note of sec. A.
The averages in each column are based on all families, column (2), whether or not they received income
from the specified source. See glossary for definition of terms.
3Includes all families that owned homes during the report year (see table 7, columns 2, 6, and 10) as well
as 2 native white incomplete, 1 foreign born white family, and 1 Negro family who received rent as pay.

1Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations
of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory
note of sec. A.
2The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between
the totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases
in which none of the family income was attiibutable to individual earners.
3Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4Averages in this column are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in column (3).
Average earnings of principal earners according to sex were as follows:

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent
tables. A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an incom
plete family if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is clas
sified as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife; as an incomplete family if it does not include
both husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary for
further definitions. Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different
size, no combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown
in the explanatory note of sec. A.
2 See sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white complete families.
3 Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.
i Relief families are distributed according to their income, which excludes direct relief received in cash or
kind.

1 Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations
of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory
note of sec A.
2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
s Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4
Averages in this column are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in column (3). Aver
age earnings of principal earners according to sex were as follows:

1Families are classified as home-owning or renting families according to their status at the date of inter
view. Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combi
nations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the ex
planatory note of sec. A.
2 Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.
3Based on estimate made by home owner for period of ownership and occupancy during report year.
Averages are based on the number of home-owning families as of end of report year.
* Rent reported at date of interview. Averages are based on the number of renting families in each class
that reported monthly rent, including families receiving rent as gift, the amount of which was estimated by
the family.
♦Averages not computed for fewer than 3 cases.

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent
tables. A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an income
plete family, if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is classi
fied as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife; as an incomplete family if it does not includboth husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary for
further definitions. Since the data on these color and nativity groups are based on samples of different size,
no combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in
the explanatory note of sec. A.
2 See sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white complete families.
3 Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.
< Relief families are distributed according to their income, which excludes direct relief received in cash
or kind.

of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory

2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), Number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
2 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent tables.
A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an incomplete
family if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign bom. A family is classi
fied as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife; as an incomplete family if it does not include
both husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary for
further definitions. There are 8 Negro families and 1 of other color not shown on this or any of the subse
quent tables, due to their relative infrequency. Since the data on these two nativity groups are based on
samples of different size, no combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without
applying weights shown in the explanatory note of sec. A.
2 Sec sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white complete families.
3 Relief families are distributed according to their income, which excludes direct relief received in cash or
kind.

1 Since the data on these 2 nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations of the
data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory note of
sec. A.
2The averages in each column are based on all families, column (2), whether or not they received income
from the specified source. See glossary for definition of terms.
3 Includes all families that owned homes during the report year (see table 7, columns (2) and (6)) as well
as 4 native white incomplete famlies who received rent as pay.
Represents the estimated rental value of owned homes for the period of ownership and occupancy, less
estimated expenses allocable to that period; and the value of rent received as pay.
5 Includes families having money income other than earnings, families having business losses met from
family funds, and families having both such income and such losses.
6 Includes money income other than earnings, after deduction of business losses met from family funds.
Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.

1 Since the data on these 2 nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations of the
data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory note of
sec A.
2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
8 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4
Averages in this column are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in column (3). Aver
age earnings of principal earners according to sex were as follows:

view. Since the data on these 2 nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations of
the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory note
of sec. A.
2 Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.
3 Based on estimate made by home owner for period of ownership and occupancy during report year.
Averages are based on the number of home-owning families as of end of report year.
4 Rent reported at date of interview. Averages are based on the number of renting families in each class
that reported monthly rent, including families receiving rent as gift, the amount of which was estimated by
the family.

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent
tables. A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an in
complete family if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is
classified as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife; as an incomplete family if it does not
include both husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary
for further definitions. There are 17 foreign-born families and 12 negro families not shown on this or any
of the subsequent tables, due to their relative infrequency. Since the data on this nativity group are based
on a sample of different size, no combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without
applying weights shown in the explanatory note of sec. A.
2 See sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white complete families.
3 Relief families are distributed according to their income, which excludes direct relief received in cash
or kind.

1 Since the data on this nativity group are based on a sample of different size, no combinations of the data
can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory note of sec. A.
2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
3 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4 Averages in this column are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in column (3). Aver
age earnings of principal earners according to sex were as follows:

1 Families are classified as home owning or renting families according to their status at the date of inter
view. Since the data on this nativity group are based on a sample of different size, no combinations of the
data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory note of
sec. A.
2 Based on estimate made by home owner for period of ownership and occupancy during report year.
Averages are based on the number of home owning families as of end of report year.
3 Rent reported at date of interview. Averages are based on the number of renting families in each class
that reported monthly rent, including families receiving rent as gift, the amount of which was estimated by
the family.

1 See the introductory note to sec. A for the size of the samples represented in this and subsequent
tables. A family is classified as native if both husband and wife are native born (or, in the case of an in
complete family if the head is native born); otherwise, the family is classified as foreign born. A family is
classified as a complete family if it includes both husband and wife; as an incomplete family if it does not
include both husband and wife. Single individuals are included in the incomplete families. See glossary
for further definitions. There are 10 negro families not shown on this or any of the subsequent tables, due
to their relative infrequency. Since the data on these two nativity groups are based on samples of different
size, no combinations of the data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown
in the explanatory note of sec. A.
2 See sec. B tables for tabular analysis of native white complete families.
s Complete families (all family types combined) and incomplete families.

Relief families are distributed according to their income, which excludes direct relief received in cash
or kind.

1 Since the data on these 2 nativity groups are based on samples of different size, no combinations of the
data can be made with those for other groups without applying weights shown in the explanatory note of
sec A.
2 The total number of principal earners given in column (3) is equivalent to the total number of families
having individual earners, since a family can have only one principal earner. The difference between the
totals in columns (2) and (3) is explained by the fact that column (2), number of families, includes cases in
which none of the family income was attributable to individual earners.
3 Averages in this column are based on the number of principal earners reporting weeks of employment.
4 Averages in this column are based on the corresponding counts of principal earners in column (3).
Average earnings of principal earners according to sex were as follows:

Appendix A
Sampling Procedure in Nine Cities o f the East Central
Region
T h e Random Sample
A ccording to the general plan for the S tu d y of C onsum er Purchases,
cities in three size groups were selected for stu d y in each region: Large
cities consisting of populations of 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 to 3 0 0 ,0 0 0 ; m iddle-sized
cities w ith populations of 3 0 ,0 0 0 to 7 5 ,0 0 0 ; and sm all cities ranging
in size from 8 ,0 0 0 to 2 0 ,0 0 0 inhabitants.
T h e E a st C entral area was
chosen for special intensified sam pling and consequently the S tu d y
was carried on in m ore cities in this region than in other regions.
In
the E a st C entral U n ited States, C olum bus, O hio, w ith its population

Since the findings presented in this report on fam ilies in the E a st
Central region are based upon data gathered b y random sam pling, a
detailed statem en t of the sam pling procedure b y which the co m m u n ity
patterns were ascertained is now presented.
A discussion of the sam pl
ing m eth od em ployed in the stu dy of expenditures will be included
in volum e I I of the E a st C entral Bulletin.
T h e Record Card Sample
Selection of the random sample.— T h e plan called for a sam ple of
families in each city large enough to yield the required num ber of
cases of specified incom e, occupation, and fa m ily typ e for the con
trolled expenditure stu dy .
A total 40 percent coverage of fam ilies in
C olu m bu s, a 60 percent coverage in M u n cie and in N e w C astle, and
a 100 percent coverage in each of the other cities was plann ed.2
On
1 As a part of the coordinated program for this region, the Bureau of Home Economics surveyed in the
East Central area the small cities of Beaver Dam, Wis.; Lincoln, 111.; Mount Vernon, Ohio, and New Phila
delphia, Ohio, as well as villages and farm counties in Illinois, Pennyslvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and New Jersey. (See appendix C for detailed list of communities by region.)
2 The improvement of the Columbus sample by the use of substitutions from a stratified sample and the
reduction of the samples in Muncie, New Castle, and Springfield to 50 percent samples is discussed later
under Refusals or Partial Information Record Cards and Family Schedules. (See p. 509.)

Practical considerations required th at insofar as possible the sam ple

T h e 1935 city directories in C o lu m b u s, M u n c ie ,

records, and a post-office directory.
Since there was some uncertainty as to the size of sample which
could be completed within the limits of time and funds available, it
was necessary to draw a number of smaller samples in each city,
each as representative as possible of the city’s population. The
drawing of several subsamples was desirable also because the number
of random sample schedules required to yield the number and types
of cases planned for the controlled sample was not known in advance;
thus, additional samples were added as more cases for the controlled
sample were needed.

SAMPLING PROCEDURE
T h e percentage coverage of the subsam ples in each city along w ith
the to ta l num ber of addresses drawn in each subsam ple is show n in
table 1.
T h e sam ple was selected from the list of householders arranged b y
street num bers in the directory, rather than from the alphabetical
n am e list.
A t regular intervals going from the top to the b o tto m
of the page, an address was drawn for the sam ple.
An
address
was defined as the section of a building providing living quarters for
a fa m ily, or quarters occupied b y a business concern or other organ
ization.
T h u s each dwelling unit
in
an
apartm en t
or
m u ltip le-
fam ily house was regarded as an address and counted in dividu ally
when the sam ples were drawn.
F or every four addresses out of ten in C olu m b u s, for every six out
of ten in M u n cie and N e w C astle, and for every address in the other
cities, a “ control card” was prepared from the city directory, giving
the n am e (of the householder or of the organization occupying an
address), sam ple n um ber and address.3

In addition to d ata needed for identi

every fam ily interview ed for the record-card d ata:
Item, 8 .— Whether the family member interviewed appeared to be white,
Negro, or other color.
I t e m 9 .— Whether two or more persons were living together and dependent on a
common income.
A one-person family was defined as a person who lives alone or who has others
living in his household but not sharing his income or expenses. Two persons
living in one household, but financially independent of each other were regarded
as two one-person families.
Ite m s 1 0 and 1 1 .— Whether or not the husband and wife, or male or female
head of the family was born in continental United States or Alaska.
I t e m 1 2 .— Whether the family maintained its own housekeeping quarters, that
is, had use of kitchen facilities, or was rooming with another family, in a rooming
house, hotel, or institution.

All the Consumer Purchases Study data for each of the communities relate to the city proper and not
to the metropolitan district.

If so, whether

returned the card to the office w ith a n otation to th a t effect, b u t no

A ll schedules
of every agen t were carefully checked b y the supervisory staff in the
office and a sam ple o f each a gen t's w ork was checked through the reinterview ing of fam ilies b y a supervisor.
T here is reason to feel
th a t the schedules turned into the office represent the fam ilies as

B y reinterview ing fam ilies, and shifting agents
from one part of the city to another, the n um ber of unacceptable

1 Since Negro families were eligible for the family schedule information in Columbus, the figure used for
eligible families for that city represents the total of the Negro as well as of the white families which were
eligible.
2 For Columbus, this is the eligible native white families only as a percentage of all native white families.
The eligible Negro families constituted 67.8 of all Negro families.

C olor. — Negro families as well as white families were eligible for the regular
sample in Columbus, but in the other cities of the East Central region only white
families were eligible. Since the agent was instructed to observe rather than ask
the color of the family, it was possible that some families were classified differently
than they would have been if the information had been asked.
N a tiv ity . — Only families in which both husband and wife were born in the con
tinental United States or in Alaska were eligible.
H o u se k e ep in g a rrangem en ts. — Only families having the use of kitchen facilities
at the date of interview were eligible. Thus families living in rooming houses,
hotels, or institutions, where they did not keep house, were not asked to give
family schedule information.
F a m i ly c o m p o s itio n .— Only families containing both husband and wife at the
date of interview were eligible for the family schedule.6
N u m b er o f yea rs m arried . — Only families in which the husband and wife had been
married for more than 1 year were eligible for the regular sample.

In some cases, it was determined after the family schedule information had been obtained, that either
the husband or the wife had not been a member of the economic family for 27 weeks or longer. (See Defini
tion of Items on the Family Schedule for discussion of membership in the economic family.) Such schedules
were not included in the analysis of the regular sample.
In Columbus single individuals having the use of housekeeping facilities as well as those lodging were in
cluded in the original sample of families eligible for the family schedule. Except for those one-person
householders which fell in the comprehensive sample, however, they are not included in the tabulations of
this report.

SAMPLING PROCEDURE
Refusals or Partial Information Record Cards and Family Schedules
D esp ite efforts to m ain tain the random ness of sam ples b y special
collection techniques such as check interview s, n ight calls, follow -u p
letters to fam ilies which refused to be interview ed, and careful control
o f assignm ent of agen ts, it w as im possible to locate and secure co m
p leted schedules from all fam ilies assigned.
T o correct the possible biases due to the high rate o f refusals and
unobtained cases in certain districts in C o lu m b u s, a stratified sam ple
was collected to provide schedules which could be su bstituted for
those which it had been im possible to secure.
T h is sam ple, taken in
addition to the five random subsam ples, represented an intensive
coverage of certain districts where the higher incom e fam ilies resided.
A
further procedure used to locate cases for su bstitution in volved
draw ing a sam ple from a list of the business and professional group
residing w ithin the city lim its com piled from such sources as classified
sections of the city directory and the telephone directory, lists of pro
fessional groups or societies, lists of business concerns, and business
officials, and m anagers and officials o f the m unicipal, State,
Federal govern m ents.
F ro m
and
this stratified sam ple for C olu m bu s,
office substitutions were drawn to m a tch refusals and partial infor
m ation schedules in the random sam ple.
In su bstitu tin g schedules,
fam ilies havin g as m a n y characteristics as possible sim ilar to the
originally assigned fa m ily were selected.
T h e m eth od adopted in M u n c ie and N e w C a stle for correcting
biases due to refusals and in com plete schedules in v olved the reduc
tion of the original 60-p ercen t random sam ple in each city to a 5 0 percent sam ple b y
elim inating
subsam ples
and
using
the needed
schedules am ong those thus elim inated for substitution in the used
portion of the sam ple.
Stratified sam ples which had been obtained
b y intensive coverage of certain areas in these two cities provided a
further source for su bstitutions.
T o correct the high percentage of refusals and partial inform ation
schedules in the Springfield sam ple, the original 100-percent sam ple
was reduced to a 50-percent sam ple, the elim inated schedules being
used as su bstitutes in the portion of the sam ple show n in the tabula
tions.
E v e n after this reduction had been effected there rem ained
too high a percentage of refusals in the occupational group of inde
pendent professional.
It
was
decided
therefore to
duplicate,
for
tabulation purposes, 37 schedules from independent professional fa m
ilies whose characteristics resem bled
those of the obtained
cases.
T h is procedure tended to elim inate the occupational bias in the final

B efore m aking su bstitutions it was necessary to analyze record cards
of unobtained or incom plete schedules for such item s as estim ated
rent, occupation of head as listed in various directories in the city,
district location of the addresses, typ e of dwelling as observed b y the
field agent, and an y partial inform ation entered on the schedule.
It
was possible in m o st cases to approxim ate the econom ic and occupa
tional level of the fam ilies from w hich com pleted schedules were n ot
obtained.
Substitu tion s were then secured b y m atch ing each refusal

T h e effect of su bstitution in C olu m b u s, M u n cie, N e w C astle, and

Because of the relative infrequency of families in the business and professional group even in a 100-perctnt
coverage of the small cities, it was thought inadvisable to reduce the total sample to provide cases for sub
stitution. Furthermore the effect of duplicating schedules would have been quite pronounced among
such few cases. Thus no attempt to improve the sample by office substitutions was made in the five
small cities.

Unfortunately no other estimates of family income in these East Central cities are available to serve as
checks upon the present study. The income tax data are not comparable, due not only to differences in
items included, but also to the fact that many of the returns are for individuals rather than for families. The
National Health Survey, available for Columbus, was also a canvassed study so the limitations of the present
study applied as well to the results of that survey. As a matter of fact, the income estimate of the Study of
Consumer Purchases for this city shows considerably more families in the income groups of $2,000 and above
than does the health survey. (See National Health Survey Preliminary Reports, Pop. Series Bull. No. A.)

cities would have been less great. But a tabulation of the unobtained
schedules by districts suggests that the above assumption is un
doubtedly exaggerated; many of the unobtained cases obviously had
low incomes. The generalizations from the data obtained, however,
are not vitiated by these omissions but it is necessary to keep in mind
the downward bias in the total income distribution and the underrepre
sentation of the business and professional occupational groups resulting
from the impossibility of obtaining a complete sample.

Springfield are estimated on basis of increasing the samples to a 100-percent coverage.
2 Includes certain small additions to the corporate territory made since the establishment of the census
enumeration districts in 1930.
T o compare the number of families of each nativity or color found
in the sample with the census, it is necessary to adjust the census
figures for a difference in definition. The Consumer Purchases Study
classifies as foreign born, families in which either the husband or wife
is foreign, while the census has regard only to the nativity of husbands
in complete families. Thus, families with native husbands and
foreign wives are classed as foreign in the Consumer Purchases Study
but as native in the census classification. An examination of a sample
of 1,000 families classified as foreign in the Consumer Purchases
Study for Columbus revealed that 15.1 percent of the foreign families
were such “ mixed nativity” cases. The percentage of 11.2 which was
determined by the same procedure for the middle-sized city of New
Castle, and the percentage of 10.6 for Beaver Falls as a small-sized
city, were used also as the percentages by which census figures must
be adjusted for comparability with the Consumer Purchases Study

2 To facilitate comparison with the 1930 census, the number of families shown in the final sample of record
cards in these cities has been adjusted to represent a 100 percent coverage.
3 Includes 59 in the “ other color” classification.
4 Includes 38 in the “ other color” classification.
5 Part of the increase in population is accounted for by additions to the corporate limits since 1930.
6 No significance should be attached to the difference between the 1930 census and the Consumer Pur
chases figures since the margin of error in the estimates is greater than the discrepancy.
Weights for Different N a tiv ity and Race Groups
Although family schedule or income data were secured only from
“ eligible” families, except for one subsample (comprehensive sample)
in each city, it was desired to obtain an income distribution of all
families for each city. Information obtained during the record card
interview for both ineligible and eligible families made it possible to
determine the relative frequency of complete and incomplete native
white families and of families in the other nativity and race groups.
The number of family schedules tabulated and the weights used to
obtain the estimated total number of families in each group are shown
below for nine cities of the East Central region.
W ith few exceptions these weights have been applied to the original
family schedule data shown in Tabular Summary sections B and C
to obtain the estimated distribution by income of the total population.

1 Weights allow for refusals and incomplete cases as well as for adjusted estimates of the frequency of vari
ous groups in the total population. Weights are used to this number of decimal places in order to attain
the accuracy needed to check calculations.
No significance attaches to the figures beyond the first
decimal place.
2 The step-up allowed for the inclusion of families married less than one year and of some families without
housekeeping facilities, with families, containing both husband and wife.
♦Insufficient number of cases upon which to make income estimates.
516
FAM ILY INCOME IN EAST CENTRAL REGION
There were a few instances of schedules representing incomes above
$5,000, which hardly indicated anything more than that such a report
had been received and was to be accounted for. In cases of this sort
the entire step-up could not be applied solely at the point reported
but had to be distributed among adjoining income bands, applying
such judgment as could be brought to bear upon the case to produce
what seemed a reasonable estimate as to the probable distribution.
In general, it may be said that such manipulation occurred among the
cases of incomplete native white families in the highest income classes
and in the retired and nonemployed group. Precisely because there
has been some departure from a strictly mechanical handling of the
higher income reports, the text usually combines families with incomes
of $3,000 and over into one group and considers the business and
professional occupational groups as a unit. Wherever there has been
readjustment it may be assumed that it had no real influence in
determining the distribution of the total population.

Section 1. D efinition o f Items on the Family Schedule
This section includes such definitions, numbered with the section
and item numbers appearing on the family schedule, as are needed
for the interpretation of the text and accompanying tables. It rep
resents a summary of the more detailed instructions which were
issued in connection with the field collection and editing of the data.
The reader is referred to section 2 of this glossary for definitions
used in the analysis of the data by income, occupation, and family
type.
I. Year Covered by the Schedule Information
The information on family composition, income, and occupation
pertains to the situation of the family over a yearly period, sometimes
referred to on the tables as the “ report year” or “ schedule year.”
The family was asked to choose the period for which it could give
the more accurate inform ation; either the 1935 calendar year or the
12 months ending on the last day of the month immediately preced
ing the date of interview. Table 19, section B, of the Tabular Sum
mary shows a distribution of the native white families including
husband and wife by the schedule year period chosen.
II. Family Composition— T h e Economic Family
Since family income and other family characteristics refer to the
economic family, it is important to have the definitions of this group
clearly in mind.
The economic family is defined as a group of persons belonging to
the same household and dependent upon a common income. In
most cases the members of the economic family were related by
blood, marriage, or adoption. Persons thus related and either living
under the same roof or eating at least two meals daily with the
family and whose income could be determined were considered
members. Thus adult sons and daughters living in the household
were regarded as members of the economic family, provided that
their income could be determined, even though they paid a stipulated
amount for room and board instead of pooling their earnings.
Related persons whose homes were with members of the economic
family and who were dependent on the economic family for at least
75 percent of their support were considered members even though
they were away at school or in an institution. Persons who were
520
S C H E D U LE
FORM S
A N D
GLOSSARY
521
usually members of the economic family but who had been in an
institution at no expense to the family for a period of a month or
less at some time during the schedule year were considered members
of the economic family away from home. If they were in an institu
tion without expense to the family for more than a month con
tinuously during the year, they were members of the economic
family only during that part of the year which they spent at home.
Persons not related but living together and pooling all of their earn
ings or receiving all of their support from the family fund (i. e.,
dependent on a common income) were considered members of an
economic family. In an economic family consisting of more than
one married couple, the oldest married male was designated as the
head, or husband. It is always his wife who is referred to on the
tables as “ wife.”
III. Other Members o f the Household
The household includes, in addition to the members of the eco
nomic family, all persons who lived in the family home for 1 week
or longer during the schedule year and who were not dependent
upon the common income, and did not pool their income. These
other members of the household might be roomers, boarders, tourists,
transients, guests, or paid help living in the home.
1. S o n s a n d daughters boarding a n d ro o m in g .— Adult sons and
daughters of members of the economic family were classified as
roomers and boarders only if it was impossible to ascertain their
income. When their income could be determined they were treated
as members of the economic family even though they paid for room
and board rather than pooled their incomes.
2 . Other room ers w ith board .— Persons who slept in the home and
paid for their rooms were classified as roomers with board if they
regularly took one or more meals daily in the home.
3. R o o m e r s w ith ou t board.— Roomers who took no meals with the
family were included in this category. Adult sons and daughters
who roomed but did not board with the family were classified as
roomers without board if they were not members of the economic
family.
4. B o a rd ers w ith ou t r o o m . — Persons who took one or more meals
daily in the home and paid for their board, but did not live in the
household, were considered as boarders. (The number of equiva
lent weeks during which they were boarders was computed on the
basis of 21 meals per week.)
5. T o u rists or tra n sien ts. — Classed as tourists or transients were
persons who roomed and/or boarded in the home for less than a week,
and who paid for such accommodations. Only families having
522
F A M IL Y
IN C O M E
IN
EA S T
C E N TR A L
R E G IO N
tourists or transients for a total of 1 week or more during the year
were classified as households with such members.
6. G u ests .— Persons related or unrelated who were not members of
the economic family, but who lived in the household one or more
nights without payment for rent or food, were guests. The time
spent in the household by all guests must total more than 1 week
before the family was classified as one having guests. When a person
described by the family as a guest remained in the household for 26
weeks or longer, without making payment for room or board, an
attempt was made to determine this person’s income so that he might
be classified as a member of the economic family.
7. P a i d h elp livin g i n .— All servants sleeping under the family
roof or in dwelling quarters provided free by the family were included
in this category.
IV . Home Ownership
Home ownership refers to the ownership of the home by any mem
ber of the economic family. To make possible the computation of
nonmoney income from home ownership,1 information was obtained
on the number of months during which the family occupied an owned
home, the fam ily’s estimate of the m onthly rental value, and the
amount of interest incurred during occupancy of a mortgaged home.
Because of the desirability of keeping the family schedule interview
as brief as possible, no detailed information was obtained during this
interview on expenses other than interest, the most unpredictable
expense on an owned home.
R e n t as p a y .— If the family lived for all or part of the year in a
dwelling furnished as part of wages or salary (as in the case of a
parsonage furnished to a minister or an apartment furnished to a
janitor), the estimated m onthly rental value and the number of
months rent was received as pay were written on the schedule. The
value of rent received as pay was later included in computing total
family income.
R e n t as g ift .— If the family occupied a home owned by a relative
or a friend on a rent-free basis during the year, when it had no home
of its own, the number of months so occupied, and the estimated
rental value of such residence were included in the agent’s notes
attached to the schedule, but the rental value was not included in
the computation of total income.
V I. Living Quarters Occupied
Information on the type of living quarters relates to those quarters
occupied at the date of interview but was tabulated only for those
families which did not move between the end of the schedule year
1See “ Imputed income from owned home,” sec. 2, Terms Used in the Text and Tabular Summary, p. 530.
S C H E D U LE

523
and the date of interview. Of the types specified on the schedule
the dwelling unit in a business building and the “ other” types have
special meaning in this study.
4-h . D w e llin g u n it in b u sin ess bu ildin g was a dwelling in a structure
used also for business purposes. A building used for both dwelling
and business was considered a business building if a third or more
of the floor space (not counting the basement) was used for business.
4-k . Other included living quarters over a private garage, a house
keeping apartment in an institution, or rooms without housekeeping
facilities in a hotel; the classification “ other” on the tables includes
also rooms with another family or in a rooming house (4-i and 4 -j).
Since the sampling method was designed to select householders,
schedules were obtained from very few families having rooms without
housekeeping facilities in a hotel or with another family, or in a
rooming house. These schedules were obtained only in the compre
hensive sample.
VIII. M oney Earnings From Employment
E m p lo y m e n t . — Em ploym ent was defined as any work for which
persons while members of the economic family normally received, or
expected to receive, money as compensation for services. Persons who
had worked during the year but whose losses exceeded or equaled
earnings were regarded as employed. Employment on work-relief
projects was considered as gainful employment and money earnings
from such sources were included in income.
S ta tu s o f w ork er. — T o facilitate coding of an individual's occupation,
the symbol “ s” was used for salaried workers and all wage earners;
“ o ” for persons working on their own account; and “ x ” to indicate
that employment was on a work-relief project. T o determine status
of certain workers, such as carpenters, dressmakers, etc., who repre
sent borderline cases between wage earners and independent business
men, it was necessary to set up the following qualifications, one or
m ore of which the person classified as in independent business must
meet:
(1) The investment of either his own or borrowed capital in his
business, as in a truck, stock of materials, shop, or special equipment
for his place of business, which might be in the home (the tools of
a workman such as he would need in his capacity as a wage earner
were not considered a capital investment); (2) the taking of business
risks; (3) the employment of others to work for him in his own
business; (4) the production of goods on the chance of finding a
purchaser.
A person was considered as on work relief if he was required to
demonstrate to the public or private agency granting the work that
524
F A M IL Y
IN C O M E
IN
EA S T
C E N TR A L
R E G IO N
he had insufficient means to support his family according to the
standards adopted by the agency concerned. Educational aid re
ceived by students under N. Y . A. and F. E. R. A., to permit them
to complete their education, was not considered work relief.
N et m on ey earnings.— T h e earnings entered on the fa m ily schedule
were net earnings and were m on ey earnings exclusively.
In clu ded in
m o n ey earnm gs were all com m issions, tips, and bonuses w hich were
received

M oney
earnings
of
persons
w orking on their ow n account represented the salary or profits draw n
from the business for fa m ily use.
The following expenses were considered occupational expense and
as such were deducted from gross earnings in arriving at net earnings:
Union dues and fees; business and professional association dues;
expense for technical books and journals directly related to the per
son’s occupation; room rent paid out of family funds while a member
was working away from home; the portion of operating expense for
business use of automobile not covered by an expense account; and
expense for workmen’s tools which are frequently replaced.
T h e follow ing item s were n o t considered to be occupational expenses
and consequen tly were n o t deducted from gross earnings:
C loth in g
worn at w ork and food eaten at w o rk ; am oun ts deducted from p a y
checks for health
and life insurance, retirem ent fu nds, e t c .;
and
tran sportation to and from work.
Overhead expenses such as rent for business premises, office supplies,
telephone, and large sums expended for tools and equipment which
are in the nature of capital outlays, were treated as business expense
rather than as occupational expense. The agent, with the cooperation
of the family, deducted such business expenses from the earnings
figure before entering it on the schedule.
Tim e em ployed. — Time employed, as entered on the schedule,
represents the number of hours, days, weeks, or months during which
the person had some employment. The unit chosen for reporting the
length of time employed was usually the unit by which the individual
was paid. When the length of time employed was reported in hours
or days, it was reduced, for purposes of analysis, to equivalent weeks
by using a 5-day or 40-hour week as the basis.
Since it was frequen tly im possible for the respondents to give the
num ber o f weeks em ployed fu ll-tim e and the n um ber of hours w orked
in periods o f p art-tim e em p lo ym en t, tables show ing tim e em ployed
in weeks do n o t distinguish betw een fu ll-tim e and p a rt-tim e em p lo y

under “ other money incom e,” in the analysis or
tabulation of this item, net income from roomers and boarders and
income from work in the home were considered as earnings. Income
from work in the home which was irregular in nature was classified
on the schedule as “ other money incom e” ; had the work been regular,
it would have been shown originally under earnings.
work in the hom e )
IX . O th e r M o n e y Incom e
This consisted of m oney income from sources other than earnings,
which was available for the current use of the family during the
schedule year. The value of income received in kind was not obtained
in this survey. Direct relief or relief in kind, the eligibility for which
was determined by a means test, was not included as other money
income. Some other items not included in the money income figure
are enumerated later on.
The components of other money income are:
3. Interest and dividends .— Only amounts received as interest and
dividends from stocks, bonds, bank accounts, trust funds, etc., which
could be drawn in cash for family use were reported on this schedule.
Dividends received from paid-up insurance policies were also included
in this category. If, however, these dividends were reinvested in the
insurance policies they would not be reported.
4. Profits.— Net profits drawn from a business owned, but not
managed, by the family were included as other money income. Profits
drawn for family use from a business which was actively managed by
the family were included under earnings.
5. Rents fr o m property. — Net rents from property owned by the
family were computed by deducting current expenses on the property
from the gross rental income. Expenses for improvements or additions
to the property or for payments on the principal of the mortgage were
considered an investment and as such were not deducted from gross
rent.
When the family owned a multifamily dwelling, occupying a portion
of it and renting the remainder, only the proportion of the expenses
which was applicable to the tenants’ share of the home was deducted
from rental receipts in arriving at net income from rents.
6. P en sion s, annuities, benefits.— This included amounts received
from veterans’ pensions, pensions from employers, income from
annuities, compensation under workmen’s compensation laws, unem
ployment benefits from trade-unions, and benefits from sickness and
accident insurance. Income from old-age pensions, mothers’ pensions,
and pensions for the blind, which are paid by the Federal and local
governments only after demonstration of need, was not included in
other money income. The receipt of such income classified a family
with other families receiving relief.

7. Gifts in cash .— Included here are only those gifts in cash which
were for current use of the family and which were made by persons
other than members of the economic family. Amounts received from
relief agencies and the cash evaluation of income received in kind
were not considered gifts in cash.
7-a. M o n e y income fr o m other sources.— Income received from
sources other than those specified above was classified in this category.
Such sources are: M oney found or received as a prize or as a reward
for finding a lost article, alimony, net gains from gambling, net income
from the sale of home-produced foods; amounts received from the
Government when members of the family are at C. C. C. camps, that
amount of the soldiers’ bonus which was spent for current living,2 and
money earned prior to the schedule year and received during the
schedule year.
Item s not included in incom e. — Some items which are commonly
considered money income were not covered by the Study of Consumer
Purchases because it was impossible in a survey of this sort to ascertain
the amount of certain types of income. The procedures used in the
Study excluded the following sources of income: That share of profits
to individuals participating in an entrepreneurial business, partner
ship, syndicate, or pool which was not withdrawn for family use;
profits received from sales or exchanges of capital assets (real estate,
stocks, bonds, investments in business and other property), unless
such transactions constituted the primary occupation of some member
of the fam ily; interest and dividends from stocks, bonds, bank accounts,
trust funds, etc., which had accrued, but had not been received into
the family funds; direct relief in cash or in kind; the value of income
in kind, except income from owned hom es; money received in a lump
sum as a bequest or a gift in cash which was not used for current
expenses. Withdrawals from assets, borrowings, and other non
income receipts were not covered on the family schedule.
8. Losses in business.— Classified here are only those net losses from
real estate operations or other businesses during the year which were
met from the family income, by an increase in the fam ily’s liabilities,
or by a decrease in its assets. Among the cases included are those
in which the actual expense for real estate held by any member of
the economic family exceeded the actual income, and cases in which
traveling expenses for business purposes exceeded the allowance
provided by employers for such expenses.
Losses in business were charged against the specific type of family
business. For example, if the fam ily’s net rents from property totaled
2A large proportion of the families were scheduled before payment of the soldiers’ bonus began on June 15,
1936. Therefore, families which were entitled to a bonus but which gave schedule information for a year’s
period ending on or before May 31, 1936, would not have had an opportunity to report receipts from this
source. The number of native white complete families which were scheduled for a period extending beyond
the date of bonus payment, some of which reported having received and cashed a bonus, may be determined
from table 19, sec. B, of the Tabular Summary.

$500, but the fam ily’s expenses on other businesses owned but not
managed by the family were $500 more than the income from this
source, the family would appear on the “ other m oney” income tables
as a family having an income of $500 from rents and would also
appear as a family having a loss in business of $500. These two figures
cancel out in the computation of the figure for total money income for
the family.
Apparently the losses in business which were reported by families
were for the most part not entrepreneurial, but were instead losses
incurred in the rental of owned property, etc. Although an entre
preneur might actually have had a net business loss for the year, any
withdrawals from his business to support his family were considered
as family income. When withdrawals from the family fund to meet
business losses exceeded the contribution to the family income, fami
lies were classified as having suffered business losses for the enterprise in
question.
10 and 11. R e l ie f .— The family was classified as having received
relief if at any time during the schedule year any member of the family
received aid from a public or private agency and if, to prove eligibility
for such aid, it was usually necessary to pass a means test. The inclu
sion as “ relief families,” of families who had received relief for as short
a period as 1 day, and who may have had relatively high incomes dur
ing part of the schedule year, accounts for occasional relief families
in the higher income brackets. Since occasionally churches and other
organizations give support by a regular allotment to members who
would otherwise have to apply for relief, or to members who are in
eligible for public relief, such cash allotments were considered relief
even though the family was not required to submit to a formal means
test.
The Study covers a period during which first F. E. R . A. and then
W . P. A. administered work relief. In most cities there was a lag
between the separation of clients from F. E. R. A. work projects and
their placement on W . P. A. work projects in the fall of 1935. During
this lag, families were commonly carried on direct relief in cash or in
kind. As a rule relief families distinguished F. E. R. A. from W. P. A.
by the fact that the allotment from the latter was based on the occupa
tional classification of the workers, while the former relief set-up
budgeted the family on the basis of number and age of members.
Families with members who had worked on P. W . A. projects were
considered relief families only if their assignment to such projects was
dependent upon the passing of a means test. Families of students
who received educational aid under N. Y. A. and F. E. R. A., per
mitting them to complete their education, were not classified as relief
families if this was the only aid received. Families with members
attending C. C. C. camps were not classified as having received work

relief unless some other members of the families had been assigned
to a work project. Persons in C. C. C. camps were not members of
the economic family during their stay in camp and, consequently, the
C. C. C. work was not shown as employment. C. C. C. enrollment
was not in itself sufficient grounds for considering a family as on relief.
In view of an executive order of April 1935, however, which instructed
that men be sent to C. C. C. camps only from families on relief, it is
apparent that the large majority of families with members in C. C. C.
camps were also in the relief classification.
No figures on the amount of direct relief received in cash or in kind
were requested from families. Earnings on work-relief projects were
included with earnings from other sources, although families receiving
work relief were classified with families receiving direct relief rather
than with the nonrelief families.

S u m m a ry
(With Particular Reference to Income, Occupation, and Family Type)
A . Incom e
Total incom e. — The income by which families were classified in the
text and appendix tables represents net money income of all members
of the economic family, as well as imputed income from owned home
(see below for definition) and rental value of dwelling quarters received
in payment for work rendered. Total income does not include money
received as direct relief, or the value of goods received in kind.
Com ponents o f total fa m ily income—
1.
N e t m oney incom e. — Net money income included net earnings
from gainful occupations of family members (wages, salaries, profits,
and other withdrawals from business for family use, tips, commissions,
and bonuses) minus occupational expenses; net income from roomers,
boarders, tourists, and transients; net income from casual work in the
home; and income from all other sources indicated under the discus
sion of other money income on page 525. Of these items, the methods
of computing net income from roomers and boarders, imputed income
from owned home, and rent received as pay need to be explained.
In ascertaining the income from boarders and lodgers, an attempt
was made to obtain the net income after deduction of business ex
penses— the income available for family spending. Since too much
interview time would be required to obtain cost figures on the keeping
of roomers and boarders, it was necessary to estimate this cost in the
office, using data available from a previous study of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The estimates were for cost of food only and made
no allowance for the costs attached to keeping lodgers and for costs
other than food— such as the expense for service, table linen, etc.
The cost of boarders’ food, however, is probably the largest single
item of expense in this type of enterprise. The cost estimates corre
sponding to given payments by boarders with room were based on
Bureau of Labor Statistics data for 279 wage-earner families living
in 10 cities. The line of relationship is represented by the equation
Y equals 87.37 plus 0.1004X, where X equals the annual payment by
a boarder with room and Y the corresponding cost of food. This
estimated cost of food was subtracted from the payment made to the
family and the remainder was regarded as net income from boarders
with room.
529
530
F A M IL Y

EA S T
C E N TR A L
R E G IO N
Obviously the same payment as above for board without room
requires a different cost estimate. The line of relationship between
total annual payment by boarders w ith ou t room and the corresponding
cost of food was based on data for 59 wage-earner families in eight
cities. The equation is 7 equals 52.83 plus 0.2108X, where X is the
annual payment by a boarder without room and Y the corresponding
cost of food. When, by the use of these corrections, the cost of
boarders’ food was greater than the gross income from boarders, a
zero balance rather than a negative income was attributed to the
family from this source.
2. I m p u te d in co m e f r o m ow n ed h o m e .— The incomes of home owners
were adjusted to take into account their effective “ purchasing power”
incomes, rather than their money incomes alone. This adjustment
had the net effect, in general, of placing the home owners one $250
interval above the family income scale in which their money incomes
alone would have placed them. The income which was attributed to
home owners was the difference between the fam ily’s estimate of the
rental value of the home and the expenses on the home for the period
of occupancy. A t the time of the family schedule interview7 the
family was asked for information on the amount of interest on the
mortgage or land contract. Other expenses on the owned home—
taxes, special assessments, refinancing charges, repairs and replace
ments, insurance, etc.— were computed on the basis of existing data
on the relationship between such expenses and rental value.
This procedure was followed for two reasons: First, because it was
not feasible to obtain, during the brief family schedule interview,
information on each type of expense of home ownership; and, second,
because it seemed satisfactory, and possibly preferable, to use for
expenses other than interest on mortgage, a figure which approximated
an average for several years rather than a figure equal to the cash
expenses for the schedule year itself.
The line of relationship which was derived betwreen “ other ex
penses” and rental value for this purpose was based on Bureau of
Labor Statistics data for 949 home-owning families, including wage
earners and low-salaried workers living in 10 cities, as well as Federal
employees living in Washington. The equation for the line of relation
ship is Y equals 39.20 plus 0.1726X, where F is annual other expenses
and X is the annual rental value.
The estimated expenses were added to the interest figure obtained
from the family and the whole was deducted from the rental value for
the period of occupancy. The resultant figure was the income im
puted to home owners. If the figure for “ other expenses” was greater
than the rental value of the home, the expenses other than interest
were assumed to equal the rental value. In such a case the addition
of an expense for interest to these other expenses, which were assumed
S C H E D U LE
FORM S

to be zero, resulted in a negative income from home ownership; the
amount of the negative income was deducted from the combined
money income figure and rent as pay (if any) in arriving at the net
total income.
3. R e n t received as p a y .— When the free occupancy of the family
dwelling was received as pay for services, as is frequently the case
with janitors, ministers, etc., the monthly rental value and the num
ber of months of rent as pay was obtained. The value of rent received
as pay for the schedule year was later computed and included in total
income.
B . O cc u p a tio n
The classification of occupations prepared by the Works Progress
Administration 3 was used as a guide in classifying employment into
occupational groups. The occupational grouping of the Study of

A further description of the occupational groupings used by the
Study of Consumer Purchases follows:
S a la ried p r o fe s sio n a l .— The salaried professional category included
all professional, semiprofessional, and technical workers who were
employed by others on a salaried and/or commission basis. Appren
tices to these occupations were also included in this classification.
Besides lawyers, teachers, physicians, and dentists, this group included
artists, chemists, clergymen, technical engineers, technicians, trained

nurses, draftsmen, and journalists. Certain of the technicians and
laboratory assistants included here were probably on the border line
between professional workers and highly skilled wage earners.
Salaried business. — The salaried business category included persons
employed by business and manufacturing firms in managerial or offi
cial positions, usually on a salaried and/or commission basis. Officials
and inspectors employed by the Federal, State, or city governments
were classified here. Persons employed as salaried executives of
firms were also included. Office managers, as well as credit managers
and advertising managers (except those managing establishments in
these industries), were classified as clerical.
Independent professional. — Included in the independent professional
group were professional, semiprofessional, and technical workers work
ing on their own account. (See “ Salaried professional” for a partial
list of specific professional occupations.)
Independent business. — The independent business group included
all entrepreneurs or nonprofessional persons who worked on their own
account. Businesses owned but not managed by any member of the
family were not included since such cases were included under “ other
money incom e” of the family. T o be classified as an entrepreneur,
one or more of the following qualifications were met: The investment
of capital in materials, equipment, etc. (tools of workmen such as
were needed by wage earners were not considered capital investm ents);
the taking of business risks; the employment of others; the production
of goods on the chance of finding a purchaser. The independent busi
ness group included: Retail dealers, wholesale dealers, importers and
exporters, building contractors, brokers, bankers, hucksters, and ped
dlers. Independent business families in the low income levels were
composed largely of small shopkeepers and lodging-house keepers,
while most families in the upper income groups were engaged in largescale enterprises. Income from roomers, boarders, tourists, or tran
sients was classified as having been derived from independent business.
Clerical and kindred workers — The clerical occupations included
office workers, office and store clerks, commercial travelers, salesmen,
and kindred workers. W ith the exception of office managers, persons
exercising control over the work of others were generally excluded
from this category. Persons in the clerical occupations are usually
remunerated on a weekly, monthly, annual, and/or commission basis,
rather than on an hourly or daily basis. Some of the higher paid
clerical occupations which border on the salaried business classification
were: Accountants (other than certified public accountants), auditors,
chief clerks, purchasing agents, credit managers, office managers, and
advertising managers (other than those in advertising agencies).
W age earner.— In the wage-earner classification were included skilled,
semiskilled, and unskilled manual occupations in building and con-
S C H E D U LE
FORM S

533
struction, manufacturing, extraction, and transportation industries,
etc. Apprentices to the skilled occupations and foremen were in
cluded in the wage-earner category. Also included were domestic
and personal service workers and farm laborers.
Occupations in the wage-earner category usually involve manual
skill and, with the exception of foremen, do not ordinarily involve
control over the work of others. Remuneration is usually on an hourly,
daily, or weekly, rather than a monthly or annual basis.
The inclusion of workers of the following types in the wage-earner
classification resulted in a representation of the wage-earner group in
the income brackets of $3,000 to $5,000: Foremen and inspectors,
chief engineers, lithographers, engravers, sign painters, furriers, and
watchmakers.
O ther .— Families having no members engaged in gainful employ
ment were classified in this group. An individual was considered
gainfully employed even though his business losses exceeded or
equaled his earnings. Those families with no earnings might be
retired or unemployed; they might be supported by direct relief, or
living on pensions, savings, interest, etc. The families of farm
operators drawn in the sample were analyzed with this group because
there were too few of them to justify a separate classification. W ith
the exception of these families of farmers, if there was any income
from earnings whatsoever, such as income from boarders and roomers,
the family was not shown in this category, but in the category from
which the earnings were derived.
F a m i ly occu p a tion .— The occupation by which the family was
classified was that one of six m ajor occupational groups from which
the largest proportion of the total earnings of the economic family
was derived. The six occupational groupings are: Salaried pro
fessional, salaried business, independent professional, independent
business, clerical, and wage earner.
When no member of the economic family had worked during the
schedule year because of retirement, unemployment, or for any other
reason, the family was classified as having “ no gainfully employed
members.” If, however, someone had worked during the year but
there were no earnings from occupation because losses exceeded or
equaled earnings, the family was considered as having a gainfully
employed member and the occupation was classified in the proper
one of the six categories. A number of families who would otherwise
have been classified as having “ no gainfully employed member” were
included in the independent business group because of some earnings
from roomers or boarders.
Occupation refers to the occupation in which the individual actually
worked during the schedule year and not necessarily to what he con
sidered his “ usual occupation” as determined by preference, experi-

R E G IO N
ence, vocational training, etc. The occupation of persons on work
relief projects was confined primarily to wage-earner and clerical
work. Obviously the occupational classifications of independent busi
ness and independent professional did not apply to relief work. If
relief position, held either before or after the family received relief,
which yielded larger earnings than the earnings received from the work
done on the relief project.
The procedure followed in determining family occupation was to
combine the total earnings of a family from the four salaried and
independent occupations (salaried business and professional, and
independent business and professional) and to compare this combined
total with the fam ily’s earnings from wage-earner occupations and
with those from clerical occupations.4 If the earnings from the four
salaried and independent groups combined were greater than the
earnings from either of the other groups, the family was allocated to
the particular salaried or independent occupational group from which
the earnings were largest. For example, a physician derives $1,600
from private practice (independent professional) and $1,000 as salary
from an insurance company for his medical services (salaried pro
fessional). His son has earnings of $1,800 during the schedule year
as a wage earner. The earnings of the father determine family occu
pation since, when combined, they are greater than the earnings of
the son. Since the father’s greater source of earnings is his private
practice, the family occupation is independent professional.
For purposes of determining family occupation, net income from
roomers and boarders was included in the earnings from independent
business occupations. Income from casual work in the home was
classified according to the occupational classification of the work
(e. g., income from the occasional typing of letters or manuscripts
was entered under clerical). Employment on work-relief projects
was considered as gainful employment and was classified according
to the type of work done. In most cases such work fell under the
wage-earner or clerical occupations, but a few cases fell in the
professional group. When rent was received as part payment of
services, the value of such rent was included with the earnings of the
individual who received it, in determining family occupation. If
equal amounts of earnings were derived from each of two or more
types of occupation, the chief occupation (i. e., the occupation yield
ing the largest earnings) of the individual having the largest earnings
4 Since the business and professional groups were classified into a four-fold grouping, while wage earners
were classified as a single group, although they might equally well have been subdivided into skilled, semi
skilled, and unskilled, it was decided to make the business and professional groups comparable with the
wage earner by combining the earnings in these four occupations when determining family occupation.
In the smaller cities, furthermore, the four business and professional groups were combined into a single
occupational group for most tabulations.

in a fa m ily earned $500 from an independent business, while the wife
