PREFACE

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has been making studies of the
money receipts and disbursements of wage earners and salaried work­
ers since 1888. The first survey was initiated to provide information
on wages and levels of living among American and European workers.
Later studies, made in 1903 and 1918, were undertaken to secure
weights for indexes of the cost of food and other goods purchased by
families of wage earners and salaried workers.
The 1918 survey, in which data were obtained from 12,096 families
at 7 different income levels, has supplied the weights for the cost of
living indexes published currently by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Since 1918, however, consumer purchasing habits and the articles
available in the retail market have greatly changed. Many new types
of articles which were not on the market in the earlier period are now
commonly purchased by families of wage earners and clerical workers.
Other goods in common use in 1918 are seldom or never purchased by
workers’ families of the present day.
The present survey, covering 2,694 families in eight cities in the
East North Central region, is part of a Nation-wide survey undertaken
to give a revised and complete account of the kinds of goods and
services which represent the purchases of typical families of employed
workers in 1934-36. The data obtained from each of the 2,694
families include information on annual incomes, housing facilities,
current money expenditures for commodities and services separately
and by groups of items, quantities of commodities purchased, and on
net change in financial position during the year; that is, the amount of
savings made or deficit incurred. They serve to answer many ques­
tions regarding the planes of living of American workers, their actual
and potential demand for the commodities of agriculture, com­
merce, and industry, and the effectiveness of the operation of the
economic system of our nation.
The surveys in the several cities were made in cooperation with
various agencies, whose assistance is hereby gratefully acknowledged.
In Columbus, the study was made in cooperation with the Ohio
State University, Bureau of Business Research, Dr. Viva Boothe,
acting director, and the Ohio Emergency Relief Administration; in
Michigan, with the University of Michigan School of Education,
Dr. A. B. Moehlman, head, and the Michigan Emergency Relief

M oney Disbursements o f W ag e Earners and Clerical
W ork ers in Eight Cities in the East N orth Central
Region, 1934-36

Su m m ary
This is a study of the levels at which 2,895 families of employed
wage earners and clerical workers are living in 8 cities in the East
North Central Region: Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit,
Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Lansing, and Milwaukee. Money in­
comes of these families averaged $1,481. (See pp. 11-16 and 81.) 1
The incomes of the white families studied in the 8 cities averaged
$1,517; the incomes of the Negro families studied in Cincinnati and
Indianapolis, where the Negro population is of considerable importance,
averaged $1,000.
The earnings of the chief earners in all these families averaged
$1,305. Their earnings were supplemented in average families by
earnings of grown children, wife, or other family members, but only to
the amount of $141. (See pp. 13-15 and 82-83.)
As would have been expected in a region where industry is so highly
mechanized, families of semiskilled workers predominated in the sam­
ple, which was chosen to represent a cross section of the wage earner
and clerical group. (See pp. 10, 160, 172.)
The average family in this region spent a total of $1,502, practi­
cally all its income for current family living. The three fundamental
needs, food, clothing and housing together claimed two-thirds of total
family expenditure. Only one-third was left to provide for household
operation, furnishings and equipment, medical care, automobile and
other transportation, recreation, personal care, education, gifts and
taxes and miscellaneous expenditures. (See pp. 9, 55, 56, 66-74,
84-85, 100, 104-106.)
Food alone cost the average family $488. In other words, food took
32 cents out of the average dollar spent to meet the families' current
needs. When actual expenditure for food is compared with the cost of
the Bureau of Home Economics “ adequate diet at minimum cost" it is
found that 79 percent of the white families, and 36 percent of the
Negro families spent enough to secure this diet. (See pp. 46-47, 96.)

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

Housing expenditures were second in importance, taking a total of
$345, of which $111 represented amounts spent directly for fuel, light,
and refrigeration. This total expenditure for shelter represents 23
cents out of the average dollar. (See pp. 8, 52-54, 84, 98-99.)
Clothing claimed $165 or 11 cents of the dollar. This sum covered
cleaning and shoe repair as well as ready-made clothing for all members
of the family. A negligible amount was spent for materials for home
sewing. The clothing expenditures of women and girls over 18 years
old averaged $58 for the year, and those of men and boys in the same
age group $52. In general the clothing expenditures of women with­
out paid work averaged less than those of employed men of the same
age. (See pp. 9, 57-65, 101-103.)
Of the 34 cents left from the average dollar after food, housing, and
clothing had been paid for, the families studied in the East North
Central Region spent 8 cents for automobile purchase, operation, and
maintenance. The city with the largest proportion of automobile
owners was Grand Rapids where three-quarters of the families inter­
viewed reported that they owned cars. (See pp. 67-68 and 105.)
A comparison of the percentage distribution of expenditures by
families in the wage-earner and clerical groups in 1917-18 and in 1934-36
shows striking changes over the 17-year interval. Some of the differ­
ences are due to changes in price relations. Costs of food, house­
furnishing goods, and clothing were lower at the time of this investiga­
tion than at the end of the war period; costs of fuel and light and
miscellaneous items, higher. Study of the data on actual money ex­
penditures and on prices shows, however, that part of the change in
expenditures is due to changes in consumption habits since the World
War. Marked changes in transportation expenditures have come with
the automobile. There are, in addition, trends toward larger pur­
chases of food, smaller purchases of clothing, and larger current ex­
penditures for housing. (See pp. 75-78.)
Differences between the figures on average family expenditures in
the eight cities covered by this report reflect differences in the income
level of the wage-earner and clerical groups in these communities, in
consumption habits, and in family size and composition, as well as
whatever differences there may be in the price level. They do not
measure differences in living costs as between communities.
The results of this investigation must be distinguished from those
obtained by pricing a hypothetical budget to secure the cost of a
previously defined standard of living.2 The investigators who partici­
pated in the present study were sent, not to stores to price a pre2

determined list of goods and services, but to families which were willing
to give the detailed facts concerning their incomes and expenditures.
Some of the data obtained on the goods and services purchased by
workers' families afford a basis for evaluating the adequacy of the living
of the families cooperating in the investigation. A detailed comparison
has not been made, however, between the goods actually purchased by
the families studied, and the goods included in budget estimates of the
amounts needed for maintaining healthful family life.
The families to be interviewed in the investigation were chosen at
random from the lists of employees furnished by employers also chosen
at random. (See appendix D for further details.)
Since the investigation was initiated primarily for the purpose of
obtaining new weights for a cost-of-living index, and the funds for
field work and analysis were limited, the survey was restricted to the
income levels most representative of employed wage earners and
clerical workers.3 No families on relief were included in the investi­
gation.4
The group supplying the material on which this report is based
includes families of all types but not persons living alone. Because of
the limitation of funds, the Nation-wide survey of wage earners and
clerical workers was not enlarged to include a study of the money
disbursements of persons living alone, either as lodgers or as house­
holders.6
In any random sample of the population or of any occupational
group, such as the wage-earner and clerical groups covered by this
report, size of family varies from income level to income level. Since
the averages presented in this report are based upon the actual
expenditures of a random sample of families of the wage-earner and
clerical groups, wherever comparisons are made between the spending
of families at different income levels, these differences in size of family
must be taken into account.

Income Level and M oney Disbursements
Current Expenditures o f Each C ity Group as a Whole 1
The amount and the distribution of current expenditures by the
families of wage earners and lower-salaried clerical workers studied
in each of the eight cities in the East North Central region reflect
differences in their average incomes, as well as differences in the
price levels and in the social customs of the eight communities.
Average current expenditures closely approximated average incomes
in each city. The largest expenditure, $1,642, was found in Cleve­
land, the largest of the eight cities, while the smallest, $1,296, occurred
in Grand Rapids, next to the smallest city. The other cities ranked
the same according to average expenditure and to city size.
In spite of the differences in amounts of average current expenditure
between the city groups studied, their distribution among the various
items composing family living is strikingly similar.
Food.

Food prices declined more between 1923-25 and 1934-36 than the
prices of any other group of items included in the index of the cost of
goods purchased by wage earners and clerical workers. Despite this
fact, expenditure for food continues to hold the central place in the
spending pattern of moderate income families. In all the cities
studied, it accounts for a larger proportion of total current outlay
than any other single item. It was, however, 4 to 6 percent lower than
that found among families with comparable incomes in New York City,
everywhere in the East North Central region except Cincinnati where
it was but slightly lower than the New York average.
Of the eight cities under consideration, the percentage of total
expenditure allotted to food was highest in Cincinnati, averaging

35.8, and lowest in Lansing, 29.3. Expense incurred in eating meals
away from home is an important factor in increasing the total amount
spent for food, and it is significant that the Cincinnati group, with the
highest total food expenditure, also ranked first in the proportionate
outlay for food purchased away from home. The other cities also
maintained the same relative rank in respect to purchases of meals
away from home as that for the percentage of total food expenditure.
Differences in the cost of marketing food in the various cities, and in
the types consumed, account for a large part of the variations in the
amounts spent for food consumed at home.
Housing.

Consistently in all cities, expenditure for housing comes next in
importance to food. Due to the varying proportion of families having
heat and light included in rental payment, accurate comparison from
one group to another can be made only after the expenditures for
housing and for fuel, light, and refrigeration have been combined.

The proportion of families who occupy one-family detached houses
appears to be closely related to the size of their city. In the smallest,
Lansing, four-fifths of the families lived in them, and the second
largest proportion (almost three-fourths) was found in Grand Rapids,
the second smallest city of the eight studied. In the other six cities,

from 30 percent in Cincinnati to 63 percent in Indianapolis had
dwellings of this type. In all the cities except Columbus and Indian­
apolis, two-family houses were the next most frequently reported type
of residence. Buildings housing three or more families were the
homes of over a fourth of the families in Cincinnati, of about one-fifth
in Cleveland and Detroit, and of 10 percent or less in the remaining
cities. From 2 to 4 percent of the families in each of the eight cities
except Columbus and Indianapolis, where the proportion was about
one-fifth, lived in one-family semidetached or row houses. In all
cities, a fourth or more of the families owned their own homes, and the
rest rented them.2
Clothing .

Clothing expenditure comes third in importance in all the city
groups studied, The average proportion spent for clothes ranged
from 10.2 percent in Columbus to 12.0 in Lansing.
Other items .

Sums paid out for automobile and motorcycle purchase, operation,
and maintenance constitute the fourth largest category of family ex­
penditure everywhere but in Cincinnati, where they ranked fifth.3
Here the proportion of total expenditure allotted to these items was
about 5 percent, moving upward to 10 percent in Grand Rapids and
Indianapolis. These percentages are among the highest found in any
of the cities included in the Nation-wide survey.
The types of expenditure which are classified for purposes of this
study under the heading of “ recreation” ranked fifth in importance in
five cities, fourth in Cincinnati, and sixth in Indianapolis and Lansing.
In the last two cities, recreation expenditures were outdistanced by
those for furnishings and equipment. In the recreation group, there
has been included expenditure for amusement by families of all tastes,
but tobacco and movies constitute the bulk of such outlay in each of
the eight cities.
Between 3 and 4 percent of total expenditure was devoted to medi­
cal care, and about 2 percent to personal care. Education, vocation,
community welfare, and gifts and contributions to persons outside the
families made up the balance of average annual expenditure, which
totaled around $1,300 to $1,350 in Grand Rapids, Columbus, and
Lansing; $1,500 in Indianapolis and Cincinnati; $1,550 in Milwaukee;
$1,600 in Detroit; and $1,650 in Cleveland.

These expenditures are directly related to, and, of course, made
possible by, the money incomes of the families concerned. Before
taking up a more detailed consideration of the purchases, it is neces­
sary to get some understanding of the incomes to be spent.

Family Income
The occupations of the chief earners of the 2,694 white families
cooperating in the investigation in these eight East North Central
cities were as diverse as the types of business and industry which,
together with agriculture and forestry, go to make up the economic
life of the area.
In each city, the families studied included persons working in trade,
transportation, restaurants and hotels, public service, laundries, con­
struction, and manufacturing. No families in which the chief earner
was in domestic service were included, although a family was eligible
for scheduling if subsidiary earners were domestic servants. The
two manufacturing industries which predominated in each of the eight
cities were iron and steel and automobile factories and repair shops,
except in Grand Eapids, where lumber and furniture industries were
first. In general, food and clothing were the next most important,
with printing and publishing, leather, and chemical industries also
prominent.
Families of wage earners predominate in the samples studied in all
eight cities, comprising between 72 and 78 percent in each of the eight
cities. In this group, families of semiskilled wage earners were most
numerous in all cities in this region except Lansing, with those of
skilled wage earners next in order, and those of unskilled wage earn­
ers least numerous. In Lansing, families in which the chief earner
was a skilled wage earner were the most numerous, with those
of semiskilled and unskilled wage earners following in order. (See
table 2.)

shown that such workers have suffered greatly from irregularity of
employment and low earnings in the period since 1929, and that con­
sequently more of them of have been on relief. Since the present study
excluded families below certain levels of employment and income, and
families having been on relief at any time during the year prior to
the interview by the field worker, the proportion of clerical workers
and skilled wage earners is larger than it would have been had the
study been made in 1929.
The bulk of the data for Columbus and the Michigan cities pertains
to a period more than a year after the low points in indexes of both
employment and pay rolls in the manufacturing industries.5 The
data for Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee are for a
period more than 2 years after the low points in these indexes. The
average level of living costs for the entire period to which the data
secured apply as compared with 1923-25 is available for four of these
cities from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' indexes of the cost of goods
purchased by wage earners and clerical workers. Taking average
costs in 1923-25 as 100, the indexes applying to the period covered
in these cities are as follows: Cincinnati 84.9, Cleveland 81.7, Detroit
72.7, and Indianapolis, 79.3. Indexes of food costs are available for
Columbus and Milwaukee. As compared with average costs in
1923-25, food costs in the period covered by the data secured in these
two cities stood at 74.2 and 82.4, respectively.
The occupation of the chief earner was not found to be by any means
the most important factor in determining the family's annual income.6
The number of earners in the family and the number of days each was
employed were quite as significant, if not more so.
The range of money incomes was from $500,7 the lower limit set
by the plan of the investigation, to $7,878, reported by a family drawn
in the random sample in Cincinnati. This family was composed of
8 persons, 6 of whom were employed during the entire year. Average
annual income per earner in this family was thus $1,313. The hus­
band of the family was a mechanic, while one brother and four sisters
of the homemaker, who lived in the same household and pooled their
incomes with those of the husband in the family, were clerical workers.
The highest income covered in the survey in each city was:
Grand Rapids, $2,965; Milwaukee, $3,106; Lansing, $3,220; Indianapolis,
$3,258; Columbus, $3,544; Cleveland, $4,270; and Detroit, $3,857.

In each city, these maximum family incomes were reported by families
in which several persons contributed to the family purse. The aver­
age number of earners in the families having the maximum incomes

in the cities other than Cincinnati was 3.14, and such earners had an
average annual income of $1,137. Fifteen of the 22 earners in these
7 families were clerical workers, while the remaining one-third in­
cluded highly skilled wage earners, such as tool makers, etc.
The relationship between family income and number of con­
tributors to the family purse suggested by the foregoing examples is
confirmed by other data from the investigation. Earnings of the
chief earner at the lowest income level (i. e., families receiving from
$500 to $900) averaged between $701 and $790 in the eight cities.
It will be seen from table 3 that the average earnings of the chief
earners as a proportion of total family income decreased consistently
with rise in income level, with the proportion falling substantially
below 80 percent after the $2,100 level has been reached. This
decline was accounted for by the sharp increase in earnings of sub­
sidiary earners among families with larger incomes, as there was no
noticeable change in the proportion of total income coming from all
sources other than earnings at different income levels. The average
number of persons reporting employment at any time during the year
increased from low to high income levels and approached or exceeded
two persons per family for families with incomes over $2,100 in each
of the cities except Lansing, where the number of earners per family
was lower than in any other city covered in the region.
In view of the criteria used in selecting the families for inclusion
in the study (see p. 397), it is not surprising to find that earnings
constituted on the average from 97.3 to 99.4 percent of total family
income in the various communities. Average earnings per family of
all individuals contributing ranged from $1,224 in Grand Rapids to
$1,552 in Cleveland (table 4). Net earnings from boarders and
lodgers varied from $16 in Indianapolis to $41 in Columbus. Income
from all other sources ranged from $14 in Lansing to $41 in Columbus,
the chief other sources being rent, interest and dividends, pensions,
and insurance annuities. Gifts from persons outside the economic
family (chiefly relatives) accounted for an average per family of $2
in Cincinnati and Lansing to $6 in Cleveland, Detroit, and Grand
Rapids. Business losses and expenses not deductible from earnings
specified for the year covered by the schedule, but deducted from the
total family income, average $2 in Detroit, $3 in Milwaukee and in
Columbus, $4 in Cleveland and in Indianapolis, $5 in Grand Rapids,
and $6 in Lansing.

Distribution of Expenditures at Successive Income Levels

As incomes increase, certain expenditure items also show a tendency
to increase, while others remain constant or decrease in relative import­
ance. The percentages spent for food, and for housing combined with
fuel, light, and refrigeration, generally declined, although this move­
ment at the upper income levels was irregular because of the larger
families there. (It will be remembered that it is increases in the
number of earners in the family which are responsible for many of the
higher incomes.) The percentage spent for clothing, transportation,
and gifts to persons outside the economic family increases as incomes
rise. The tendency noted in cities in other regions for the percentage
of total expenditures allotted to personal care to remain constant at
about 2 percent regardless of income is well defined in three cities,
but such percentages tended to increase in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Colum­
bus, and Indianapolis, and to decline in Lansing.

INCOME LEVEL AND MONEY DISBURSEMENTS

17

Household operation expenditure (other than for fuel, light, and
refrigeration) as a percentage of the total tended to increase with rise
in income level, but the movement was not always regular. In
Lansing and Milwaukee, increases in income were followed by larger
percentage expenditures for furnishings and equipment, but the corre­
lation between income changes and the percent of total expenditure for
these items in the other six cities is negligible.
Of the two remaining groups of expenditures for the personal needs
of the family, the percentages given to recreation tended, in general,
to increase as higher income levels were achieved, although the move­
ment was not consistent in all levels and cities. Medical care expendi­
tures were extremely irregular in relation to changes in income, for
money seemed a less important factor than family size and composition
or exposure to illness.
The particular circumstances of a given family, its tastes and habits,
its experience with unexpected illnesses or other unusual crises, all
may contribute to explain differences in its expenditures in a particular
year from those of another family in the same city, even if they are of
the same size and have the same incomes. In small samples, the
experience of individual families tends at times to produce erratic
movements. Thus, for example, in Grand Rapids the proportion of
total expenditures going to transportation generally increased from
low to high income levels, but at the $1,200 to $1,500 level the per­
centage was distinctly smaller than at the next lower level.
Similar irregularity in the movement of the percentage of total
expenditures going to such items as recreation, furnishings and equip­
ment, and contributions to community welfare were noted in many
cities. At the highest incomes, where the sample is smallest, there
were irregularities even in the movement of the percentage of total
expenditures going for food and housing.
The general pattern of expenditure emerges more clearly if the
data are portrayed without regard to these fluctuations that may be
due entirely to the fact that only a small proportion of the workers in
the city could be surveyed.
The pattern is best revealed by curves that cut through these acci­
dental variations and that approximate the results which would prob­
ably have been obtained had it been possible to schedule every family
in the employed wage-earner and clerical worker groups. Such an
estimate for Detroit is presented in figures 2 and 3.
The scale used in figure 2 in graphing patterns of family expenditure
was chosen to show the absolute importance of the different items
included in the family budget. It shows the concentration of family
funds in expenditures for food, housing, clothing, and transportation.
The cluster of lines at the bottom of the chart make clear the rela­
tively small sums available for other expenditures after these four

items 9 are taken care of. It emphasizes the difficulties which families
in this group encounter when they meet unexpected emergencies,
and the limited margin with which they buy those commodities and
services so important in adding variety to urban life.
The difference in the relative change from one income level to
another in expenditures for goods of different kinds is best illustrated
by the logarithmic scale of figure 3. The curve of housing expenditure
is the most striking of the series. The marked difference between the
average amount spent for housing, fuel, light, and refrigeration by the
group with incomes from $600 to $900, and by the next higher income
group, emphasizes the urgency of the demand for better housing than
that secured at the lowest income level for which we have data.
Beyond the $900 to $1,200 group, the rate of increase in the expendi­
ture for housing is not as great as the relative increase in expenditure
for food. Other studies have shown that among families of the same
size, the tendencies in expenditures for food and housing are more
nearly alike. The fact that the larger incomes in the wage-earner
and clerical groups are, as a rule, due to an increase in the number of
workers in the family, inevitably affects the pattern of expenditures
for the entire group at the successive income levels.
Figures presented in table 6 show the irregularity of the increases
in food expenditure per adult male equivalent with rise in family
income. These figures and the curves in figures 2 and 3 serve to
emphasize the fact that, due to the urgency of the wants which go
unsatisfied at the lower income levels, expenditures for food and
housing in the wage-earner and clerical groups seldom rise above the
level they regard as a satisfactory minimum (taking size and composi­
tion of family into account), while in many cases they fail to reach
that minimum.
In the larger families at the higher income levels, there is especially
a tendency to let increases in purchases of other types take precedence
over those for housing expenditures. The urgency of expenditures
for clothing is easily understood, not only because there are more
workers at the higher income levels, but also because clothing has
been found to be one of the most elastic items in the budget within
the income ranges covered in this investigation.
The expansion of expenditures for transportation reflects one of the
most prevalent interests in American life. The relative change in
this outlay shown by the data from the Detroit families is very similar
to that for clothing after the $900 income level is reached. This

relationship is characteristic of the groups studied in the large
cities of the East. In the Pacific coast groups and in certain others,
transportation expenditures increase relatively more rapidly than
that shown by the Detroit figures, and at the upper income levels
they equal or exceed family expenditures for clothing.
The relative increase in expenditures for furniture and other house­
hold equipment, and for gifts and contributions to individuals, illus­
trate the extent to which families below the $1,200 income level in a
large city like Detroit are obliged to economize on such items.
Variations in money disbursements.

For many reasons of taste, habit, or circumstances peculiar to a
given year or a given family situation, the expenditures of a particular
family for a certain item or group of items may deviate considerably
from the average for a large group of families. Thus a family which
experienced a serious illness of the principal earner might be obliged
to incur medical and perhaps hospital expenses, and possibly to defer
purchases of clothing and recreational items and payments on back
debts; a family with a gifted child might make considerable sacrifices
of clothing, transportation, and even food in order to provide special
lessons in the hope of an artistic career for the child; the young couple
recently married will probably spend much more for furniture and
equipment than an older couple with the same income; a family with
dependent relatives must make much larger contributions to persons
outside the economic family than one whose relatives are more fortu­
nately situated.
In interpreting the average figures presented in this volume, it is
important to keep in mind some idea of the extent of these variations
from the average, and their magnitude for the different main categories
of expenditure.
Because of differences of family income and size, as well as for the
reasons cited, the average expenditure of all families covered has only
a limited significance. This is more true for certain categories of ex­
penditures, where purchases tend to be relatively infrequent and of
large magnitude when they do occur, than for other categories. Data
presented in table 24A of the Tabular Summary show the extent to
which the expenditures of individual families vary from the average
in each city.
Though the measures of variation 10 are not identical from city to
city for given categories of expenditure, they are sufficiently similar to
reveal distinct patterns of variation for different types of expendi10

tures. There is relatively less variation in food and housing expendi
tures than in any other item of the family budget. The next group of
items— clothing, personal care, recreation, and household operation
other than fuel, light, and refrigeration— are definitely more variable.
Relatively the greatest variability, three or more times as much as for
food expenditures, occurs in expenditures for furnishings and equip­
ment, transportation, gifts and contributions, and miscellaneous items.
The variability in savings and in deficits, for families ending the year
in such positions respectively, ranks along with transportation and
other items in the third most variable group of expenditure items.
The very listing of the above groups of items suggests the probable
reasons for the striking differences in variability for certain categories.
Food and housing, major items in the family budget, must be purchased
regularly by all families, and, within the income and occupational
range of this study, extremely wide variations are not to be expected.
At the opposite extreme, many items of furnishings and equipment
are purchased by relatively few families in any one year and such out­
lays when made involve comparatively heavy expenditures. The
great irregularity in transportation expenditures is due in large part to
the material differences in such expenditures of families with and
without automobiles. Medical care expenditures reflect differences
in emergency situations encountered during the year by individual
families.
Even at the same income level, it is hardly to be expected that any
two families will spend their funds in exactly the same way. The
significance of the various averages presented— the extent to which
families tend to conform to the average pattern— is shown by income
levels for the city of Buffalo in table 24B of the Tabular Summary.11
For almost every category of expenditure there is less variation in the
expenditures of families in any given income class than there is in the
expenditures of the city group as a whole.
There is a tendency for the variation in expenditures to be less at the
high income levels than at the low 12 for furnishings and equipment,
transportation, and medical care. The same is somewhat less strik­
ingly true for clothing. On the other hand, there is no clearly dis­
cernible direction of change in variability in expenditures for personal
care, housing, household operation, recreation, gifts and contribu­
tions, surplus, or deficit at higher income levels, while in that for food
there was a distinct rise.

INCOME LEVEL AND MONEY DISBURSEMENTS

These tendencies agree in general with those found in cities in other
regions for which variations in expenditures by income level were
computed. When the findings for seven cities in different regions are
compared, it is found that there was a significant decrease in varia­
bility at higher income levels in expenditures for clothing, furnishings
and equipment, and medical care.
(See appendix A, notes on
table 24B.)
The higher relative variations in expenditures for several categories
at the lower income levels suggests the close pressure of these narrow
margins of family income. For a low-income family, an emergency
or unusual expenditure for medical care, furnishings, or automobile
was apt to mean a sharp corresponding trimming in the others, so that
individual families studied spent anywhere from zero to rather large
amounts for some of these items. Their incomes were not large
enough to permit them to allocate their resources regularly from year
to year in about the same proportions for these various family re­
quirements, but rather they stretched their dollars as best they might.
For the higher-income families, on the contrary, the smaller relative
variability in several categories of expenditures indicates that it was
possible for these families to work out a more consistent pattern of
expenditure. Such drastic rearrangements in their budgets were not
required even though an emergency expenditure arose. They were
more nearly able to plan regular replacements of items of clothing and
furnishings, to make regular as well as emergency expenditures for
medical care, and to plan definite expenditure for personal care.
Income Levels and Planes of Living
Size and composition o f fam ily.

The terms “ level of living” and “ plane of living” have been used to
describe the actual economic status of the families studied. This
actual way of living is distinguished from their “ standard of living,”
the type of living which they regard as normal and proper, or from
a “ norm of living” established by a group or an agency as adequate or
suitable for certain purposes. The term “ standard of living” is some­
times used to mean not only the manner of living regarded as proper
and suitable by the families themselves, but that recommended by a
group or an agency; it is further used to mean the way families actually
are living. This triple usage has been found to be confusing, and on
that account the use of the term “ standard of living” in this publica­
tion is restricted to its primary meaning as a standard. “ Planes of
living,” the subject of this report, have been distinguished both from
standards of the families themselves and from norms or budgets set
by agencies or groups.
The amount of family income and the number of persons in the
family are both of importance in determining the way the family in5 3 4 8 5 °— 40------ 3

come is spent. It is essential to understand the family types which
predominate at each income level among the groups studied. The
average size of white families drawn in the sample in each of the eight
cities varies from 3.33 persons in Columbus to 3.66 persons in Detroit.13
If the investigation had been extended to families on relief, the aver­
age size of family would have been somewhat larger in all the cities.14

In each of the eight samples, the average size of family in the group
with incomes under $900 was less than for the sample as a whole.
A comparison of the smaller size of families found at the lowest
income level covered in the present investigation with the larger size of
the families on the relief rolls emphasizes the difficulty of supporting a
family with several children in a period when opportunities for
employment are limited.

INCOME LEVEL AND MONEY DISBURSEMENTS

When families are sorted by family income, the number of persons
over 16 years of age tends to rise with increases in the total income.
Figure 4 illustrates the situation which is characteristic of all the
groups studied in the East North Central region by presenting data
on the size of family at different income levels in Columbus, and the
tendency toward increase in the number of persons 16 years of age and
over with increases in income. The change in the number of children
under 16 years of age with increase in income of the family is less
regular. For each of the eight cities except Grand Rapids and Lansing,
the number of children per family rises with increase in income to a
maximum of slightly more than one child at the $1,800 to $2,100 group
and then tapers off. In Grand Rapids and in Lansing, an average of
one and a half children per family is reached at the $1,200 to $1,500
income group and then the average declines.
Planes o f living determ ined by fam ily size as well as income.

Preliminary study of the variations in the amounts and kinds of
goods purchased by families in different income classes emphasizes
the obvious fact that the plane at which a family lives is determined
quite as much by the number, age, sex, and occupation of the persons
dependent on family income as by its amount. Since average size of
family is larger at the higher income levels, it is impossible to assume
that the plane at which the families are living is proportionate to
income. An examination of the types of families represented at each
income level makes it evident that within any one group there are
included some with very different planes of living, the differences
depending on the composition of the family to be supported with the
given income.
For example, among the 490 families surveyed in Cleveland, there
were 116 with incomes ranging from $1,500 to $1,800. Of these, 30
were families of husband and wife only; 27 of husband, wife, and 1
child under 16 years of age; 6 including husband and wife and 1 person
16 years of age or older; and 2 families of other types including 2 or
3 persons; making a total of 65 families with not more than 3 persons
living in relative comfort at this income level. In the same income
class there were 51 families of 4 or more persons in which expenditures
were definitely more restricted, depending on the number and the age
of the persons in the family, and in which the plane of living was
necessarily considerably lower than that of the families with only 3
members.

Since one of the primary purposes of the investigation was to
determine the kind of living available to families at different economic
levels, the detailed analysis of expenditures has been based upon a
classification which takes into account not only the total amount of
money available for family living, but also the composition of the
family for which it is spent. The process of classifying families accord­
ing to their economic level may be indicated from the case of two
families, each spending $1,450 during the schedule year. The first
family consisted of a man of 40 working as a machine operator; his
wife, 38; two sons, aged 15 and 6; and two daughters, aged 12 and 8.
In addition, the family was responsible during 6 months for the total
support of the wife’s mother, who lived with them during half the
year. This family is regarded as consisting of 6% full-time equivalent
persons. The second family consists of a man of 27, also a machine
operator; his wife, 26; a daughter of 4 years, and an infant son 1y2
years old. This is a 4-person family. The first family spent $725
and the smaller family $780 for all items other than food and clothing.

There is not enough information at present available on the influence
of age or sex on these general types of expenditure to improve upon
the assumption that equal expenditures are incurred for each member
of the family. The expenditure per full-time equivalent person in the
first family was $112 as against $195 in the second family for all items
other than food and clothing. In the case of food, studies of custom­
ary expenditures and of dietary needs have been made in sufficient
detail to allow for the creation of scales of expenditure for each age,
sex, and activity group in terms of the customary expenditures
of an adult male employed full time. The scales adopted in this
study indicates that the first family consists of the equivalent of 5.5
adult males in the family for the full year. This unit will be sub­
sequently referred to in the present study as a “ food-expenditure
unit.” The second family consists of 2.9 food-expenditure units.
The first family spent $580 per year for food, or the equivalent of
$105 per expenditure unit. The second family spent $500, which,
although a substantially smaller proportion of its total income,
amounted to $172 per food-expenditure unit.
Finally, in connection with clothing, it has been possible as a
result of this study to derive scales of customary expenditures related
to sex, age, and occupation. If the average expenditures of adult
male wage earners and lower-salaried clerical workers between the
ages of 21 and 35, inclusive, are regarded as equivalent to one clothingexpenditure unit, it has been found that the larger of the two families
contains 4.0 clothing-expenditure units, while the smaller family
contains 2.6. The first family spent $145 for clothing and the smaller
family, $170. This is an average per clothing-expenditure unit of
$36 for the first family and $65 for the second. The economic level
of the first family has been measured by the sum of these three types
of unit expenditure: $105 for food; $36 for clothing; and $112 for all
other items: total for the family, $253 per expenditure unit. The
smaller family which, it will be recalled, had an identical income to
spend, has not been classified with the larger family, but rather with
other families that had a unit expenditure of more than $400, but
less than $500. In both cases, this means that these particular families
are grouped as regards economic level with families whose incomes
may be quite different. For example, a widow with one young child,
earning $100 a month, would be grouped with the smaller of the two
families, as would also a very large family with an income of more
than $3,000.
Since family income is so closely related to family composition, it is
important that expenditures be analyzed in relation to number of
expenditure units. This will be more clearly seen from table 6, which
presents data on unit expenditure at each income level for the white




INCOME LEVEL AND MONEY DISBURSEMENTS

families studied in the investigation. The average family expenditure
at the highest income level shown was almost three times that at the
lowest level, but the unit expenditure at the highest income level was
only about twice the amount at the lowest.
In subsequent discussions in this bulletin, expenditures will be
analyzed by economic level. (See appendix G, p. 431.) Economic
levels are distinguished in as many intervals for each city as the
number of cases and type of data would allow.
Equivalence between total expenditures and economic levels.

Since most discussions of expenditure have been based upon differ­
ences in expenditure at various income levels, it may be convenient to
translate the economic levels under discussion into equivalent total
annual expenditures for the two families described above. On the
basis of the scales used in this study, the first family is regarded as
consisting of 5.73 or 5.7 expenditure units, while the second family
consists of 3.36 or approximately 3.4. The $200 to $300 economic
level for the first family implies total annual expenditures, then, of
$1,425, and the $650 level for the same family, total expenditures of
$3,705. The equivalence is shown in table 7.

Order of Expenditures at Different Economic Levels

At the lower expenditure levels there are a certain number of small
families with very low incomes, but more large families with incomes
approaching the median. Families of these two different types are
nearer together as far as spending patterns are concerned than two
families with the same money income, one of husband and wife and
no other persons, and the other including in addition several children.
Differences between the average expenditure patterns of families at
the lowest and highest economic levels may be illustrated by data from
the group studied in Cleveland. (See fig. 5.)

INCOME LEVEL AND MONEY DISBURSEMENTS

There were 35 families at the lowest of the spending levels analyzed,
and they averaged 5.50 persons. Their incomes averaged $1,232.
They devoted almost 42 percent of their total outlay to food, and al­
most 25 percent to housing, fuel, light, and refrigeration, having thus
only one-third of the total left for other items of household operation,
clothing, transportation, recreation, medical care, personal care, and
other items which must be purchased in an American city.

33

The 66 families at the highest expenditure level averaged only about
2.79 persons per family. Their incomes averaged $1,663. Their
unit food expenditure was twice as much as that of the larger families
at the lower level, but the outlay only represented 30 percent of their
total expenditure. Their expenditures for housing, fuel, light, and
refrigeration averaged $139 per person, as compared with $54 at the
lowest level, but the percentage of the total devoted to housing at the
highest level was only 23.4 percent. The families at the highest level
thus had 47 percent of their expenditures yet to make after they had
paid for food, housing, fuel, light, and refrigeration.
The amount of annual unit expenditure at successive economic
levels is presented in table 8. The relatively slow increase in unit
food expenditure, in comparison to the increases in unit clothing
expenditure and in other items per capita, emphasizes the differences
in the demand for commodities of different types.

Expenditures at two economic levels.
The comparison of the distribution of total family expenditures*
illustrated in table 9 for two cities, shows the shift in consumer
demand from one of the lowest planes at which independent families
were found to the highest plane of living enjoyed by any considerable
number of the families of wage earners and clerical workers. The
overwhelming importance of food, housing, and clothing requirements
at all economic levels within the range of -the survey is shown by
their high rank in each of the eight cities. In every city food ex­
penditures take first place, and housing (including fuel, light, and
refrigeration) expenditures second place at the $600 to $700 economic
level as well as at the $200 to $300 level. Clothing ranks third at
both levels in every city except Grand Rapids; in that city at the
high level clothing expenditures are pushed into fourth place by
expenditures for automobile purchase and operation.
It is in the categories of expenditure other than food, housing, and
clothing that shifts in relative importance take place as family re­
sources expand. The items which, in most cities, increased one or
two ranks in relative importance at high economic levels were fur­
nishings and equipment, gifts, and medical care. Automobile pur­
chase and operation expenditures increased one place in rank in four
cities but more than four ranks in three cities. Personal care and
household operation other than fuel, light, and refrigeration remained
at approximately the same rank at high as well as low levels in most
of the eight cities, whereas expenses for education, recreation, and
transportation by public conveyance declined somewhat in relative
importance.

Expenditures having the lowest ranks, such as education, vocation,
and other items, retain about the same relative importance among
families at the low as at the high level. The relatively small expendi­
tures for formal education at the upper economic level are explained by
the composition of families found at this plane in each of the cities.
They contained an average of slightly more than 2.5 persons. The
number of persons under 16 years old averaged less than 0.5 per
family, while the average number gainfully employed at some time
during the year was about 1.33 persons per family.
Changes in Assets and Liabilites 15

The proportion of the white families studied in the East North
Central region reporting net surpluses of current income over current
expenditures for the year covered by the study varied from 51.0 per­
cent in Grand Rapids to 63.2 percent in Columbus. Among those
who spent less than their money incomes for current living, the average
amount of surplus per family ranged from $119 in Grand Rapids to
$174 in Columbus. (See table 10.) On the other hand, the proportion
of families studied who met part of their expenditures only by drawing
on assets accumulated prior to the year covered by the schedule or by
incurring debts during the schedule year varied from 32 percent in
Columbus to 46.4 percent in Grand Rapids. The average deficit

15For purposes of this study, changes in assets and liabilities are computed on the basis of changes which
occurred as the result of transfer of property or funds. Changes in the market value of real estate or personal
property remaining in the hands of the families studied are not included in these figures, For a more detailed
explanation, see appendix A, notes on tables 4 and 5, pp. 379 and 380,

per family in this situation was $147 in Indianapolis and $227 16 in
Cincinnati. The small proportion of families not included in either
of the above categories reported incomes just balancing current expend­
itures. When all families in each city are treated as a unit, there is a
small average net surplus in five of the cities and a net deficit in three,
resulting in a range for the eight cities from a deficit of $20 in Grand
Rapids to a surplus of $43 in Columbus.
In considering these figures, it is important to keep in mind the
financing of the occasional large expenditure which must be made by
every family, and the general level of incomes among the families of
wage earners and clerical workers. Median incomes in the eight groups
of families studied varied from $1,191 to $1,560. The purchase by a
family at this income level of an electric refrigerator for $150, for
example, must inevitably be financed in part by some means outside
of current income. It may be from past savings which have been set
aside for this purpose, or from current borrowing. Using either
method, the family will show a deficit in the particular year in which
an extraordinary occasional purchase is made.
The important thing to observe, therefore, is not that a number of
families spent more than their incomes in the given year, but the
balance at a given income level between aggregate income and aggre­
gate expenditures. Under normal circumstances we might expect
that exceptional outlays made in any one year by some families would
balance accumulations made by other families in anticipation of later
purchases from savings, or reductions of liabilities incurred for pur­
chases of previous years.
In this connection, it is important to note the setting of the period
in which these surveys were made. There had been a period of 3 or
4 years of intense anxiety during which there was no certainty as to
what the future held in store. It would appear that a number of
families in the wage-earner and clerical groups had managed even
during the worst days of the depression to conserve small amounts of
their past savings or of their current income. By 1934, and more
particularly by 1935, anxiety with reference to the future was some­
what relieved, especially in the case of the group of families covered
by this investigation, since families without relatively steady employ­
ment and those having been on relief at any time during the year
prior to the interview by the field agent were excluded from the survey.
When the families are classified according to income, it appears
that the level at which aggregate savings exceeded aggregate deficits
16 T he figures just cited have been com puted from the fam ilies’ ow n statem ents about changes in their
assets and liabilities and do not represent a balancing difference betw een reported incom es and reported
current expenditures. (See appendix A, pp. 375-376.) M ost fam ilies were not able to present a statem ent
of total receipts and total disbursem ents w hich balanced exactly. N o schedule w as accepted for use from
a fam ily w hich could n ot su p p ly a statem en t of total receipts and total disbursem ents w hich balanced

varied somewhat from city to city. (See tabular summary, table 5.)
Except in Indianapolis and Milwaukee, where small surpluses appeared
in the lowest interval, average net deficits occurred in all classes under
the $1,200 level. In Cleveland, Detroit, and Lansing, a clear turning
point was reached at the $1,500 group. Cincinnati and Milwaukee
were irregular, each having one higher income class which showed a
net deficit.
In studying the funds from sources other than family income (see
left-hand side of p. 18 of facsimile of schedule, p. 427) drawn upon by
these eight family groups, it is of considerable interest to note that
more than half were direct increases in liabilities. Only in Cincinnati
and Columbus did withdrawals from previously accumulated assets
exceed sums obtained by incurring debts for goods and services or
by increasing installment obligations.
The Cincinnati families withdrew an average of $102 from previous
savings, and received only a net $73 by borrowing directly or by using
credit. In Columbus, the corresponding figures were $70 and $64.
No clear relationship between net savings and deficits and the level
of expenditure per adult male equivalent can be expected. When
families are classified on this latter basis, it follows that they may
attain a relatively high level of current expenditure by incurring a
current deficit. Thus deficit families move up the scale to a higher
level of living than current income alone would allow, and families
with surpluses for the year move down the scale. As is to be expected
under these conditions, less regularity is shown in deficit and surplus
financing in table 10, with families classified by economic level, than
was shown in table 5 of the tabular summary with families classified
by income.
It is significant to note, moreover, that it was at the highest economic
level that current expenditure exceeded current income. This serves to
emphasize the fact that the economic level of a given family in a given
year is determined not only by its current income, but also by past
savings and ability to borrow. There are at the lower expenditure
levels some families with incomes relatively adequate in terms of the
average for the entire group, which are larger than those families at
higher planes of living. The latter not only had on the average larger
incomes than most of those at the lower levels, larger accumulations of
past savings, and correspondingly greater ability to borrow, but were
also of smaller size and therefore had less fear of depleting reserves.
Consequently it is not surprising to find that in a period when business
recovery was getting under way, the groups with the highest level of
current spending were those having the average deficits.

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

Within this general tendency there are in individual cities consid­
erable irregularities. They notably decreased, however, when the
families were grouped at only three economic levels, that is those
with annual unit expenditure of under $400, between $400 and $600,
and $600 and over. (See tabular summary, table 19.) It will be
seen from table 10 that in all of the eight cities, the percentage of
families completing the year with a net decrease in assets or a net
increase in liabilities, and the amount of such deficit, are both higher
in the group spending $600 per expenditure unit than in the group
spending less than $400. On the other hand, the percentage of families
who achieved a net surplus during the year covered by the schedule
decreased from low to high economic level, despite the fact that
the average amount of surplus per family having surplus increased as
the plane of living rose.
The most frequent form of savings (see tabular summary, table 4)
was the payment of life insurance premiums,17 reported by 84 percent
or more of the families in each of the eight cities except Lansing,
where the percentage was 73. The average amount of such premiums
per family making payments ranged from $53 in Lansing to $98 in
Cleveland. In general, the proportion of families investing in life
insurance, and the average amount of premiums paid, increased with
rise in economic level. Except in Detroit and Milwaukee, the second
most frequently reported disposition of funds for other than current
expenses was payment on principal of mortgages and down payment
on owned homes. In Detroit and in Milwaukee an increase in cash
in savings account took second place.
On the other side of the balance sheet, the most frequently specified
sources of funds other than family income were net increases in in­
stallment account obligations for goods other than automobiles, and
“ other debts/’ which include grocers’ , doctors’ , hospital, and other
miscellaneous bills. Withdrawals from savings constituted the next
most frequently used source of funds for families in seven of the cities.
In every city, installment purchases were responsible for a rela­
tively small proportion of increases in the liabilities of these families.
Even so, however, they were considerably larger than decreases in
amounts spent in paying off liabilities incurred in this way in times
previous to the schedule year. Evidently by 1935 sufficient optimism
regarding future prospects prevailed among the families studied to
account for their willingness and ability to undertake major purchases
on the installment plan.
In a stu d y am ong Federal em ployees carried on b y the B ureau of Labor Statistics ju st prior to the
in itiation of this investigation, the schedule provided for securing inform ation on the typ e of insurance
covered b y the prem ium s reported. It w as found th at very frequently inform ants w ere unable to provide
th e inform ation, and th e question w as n ot included in the present schedule. It is, therefore, im possible
to estim ate how m uch of th e am ount paid in life insurance prem ium s represents savings and how m uch
w as paid for insurance protection during th e schedule year.

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

A comparison of the number of families reporting the purchase of
an automobile during the year covered by the schedule with the num­
ber reporting an increase in installment obligations for the purchase
of automobiles shows that in Indianapolis almost two-thirds financed
them by installment contracts of which a balance remained unpaid
at the end of the year covered by the schedule. About one-half of
the families in Cincinnati, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Milwaukee,
and over a third in the other three cities did so. Since a large pro­
portion of the cars were purchased second-hand and cost less than
$300, it is probable that some of them were paid for within the
period of the schedule year. In some cases, the families resorted
to small-loan companies for the purpose of financing automobile pur­
chase, but the figures .as reported in this study do not enable con­
clusions as to what proportion of all such loans were used for this
purpose.




Chapter 2
Expenditures for Specified Goods
Food

Annual food expenditures.
The total unit food expenditure 1 increased markedly with rise in
economic level. As shown in table 12, families spending $600 to $700
per expenditure unit for all items paid out approximately twice as
much for food for each adult-male-equivalent in the household as
those spending $200 to $300 per expenditure unit for all items.
In contrast to the increase in unit food expenditures, the average
amounts spent for food per family declined in proportion to total
current expenditures— partially because of the decrease in size of fam­
ily associated with rise in economic level2 in this group. The actual
dollar expenditures for food prepared at home (including food for
lunches carried to work and to school) decreased from low to high
economic levels in six cities. The percentage decrease ranged from
less than 1 percent in Columbus, where the average annual expendiT able

ture per family at the lowest level was $385, to 17 percent in M il­
waukee, where comparable expenditure was $535. In Cincinnati,
average expenditures for food prepared at home increased 8 percent
from the low to the high level. In Lansing the increase was less than
1 percent.
Conversely, actual dollar expenditure for food purchased and eaten
away from home increased considerably from the low to the high level
in each of the eight cities. The increase was twofold in Cincinnati
and Cleveland and threefold in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis,
Lansing, and Milwaukee. Out of each dollar spent for food at the
low economic level in five cities, between 3 and 5 cents was used to
purchase food away from home. In Cincinnati, Columbus, and In­
dianapolis, between 7 and 9 cents was so spent. At the high eco­
nomic level, from 5 to 11 cents more per food dollar in these cities
went for meals, candy, ice cream, or drinks away from home.
Expenditures for meals at work are clearly connected with size of
city, and the distance between home and work. They accounted for
at least 50 percent of the total amount spent for food away from
home at both low and high levels in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus,
Detroit, and Indianapolis, leaving only 50 percent for meals at school
and on vacation, other meals out, and ice cream, candy, and soda and
other drinks purchased in restaurants, lunch counters, soda fountains,
and bars. In Grand Rapids, the proportion of the food dollar for
meals away from home was lower, 42 percent at the low level and 47
percent at the high. In Lansing, a much smaller city where many
workers can return home for dinner at noon, only 12 percent of total
expenditures for food away from home went for meals at work at the
low level and 35 percent at the high level.
Expenditures for board at school (which were classified with expendi­
tures for meals away from home) were extremely rare throughout all
the groups studied. Such expenditure was reported by only 13 out
of the 2,694 white families covered in this region.

In order to avoid overburdening the housew ives cooperating in the in vestigation, the schedule w as not

the details of food purchases provided only for a sum m ary of annual food expenditures and th e details of
food purchased and consum ed only during the w eek prior to the v isit of the field agent. Since th e figures
on average am ounts purchased and consum ed were in the great m ajority of cases identical, data on q uanti­
ties of food purchased only are presented here. D ata on num ber of fam ilies using are presented to give a

In m ost cities, the field w ork extended over more than one season. T he differences b etw een th e averages
secured in the several quarters in such instances reflect not only seasonal differences in food purchased, but
also accidental differences in the econom ic level and the national backgrounds of the fam ilies in the sub­

only the estim ates for th at season in w hich data were secured from th e largest num ber of fam ilies. D ata

increase in the expenditures for food per person with rise in economic
level. They also show that the types and quantities of foods pur­
chased are distinctly different at the various levels.
For these cities, the per capita 4 expenditures and quantities pur­
chased of meats, poultry, and sea food showed marked increases be­
tween the low and high economic levels. Green vegetables and fruits,
important sources of minerals and vitamins, likewise increased in
respect to average expenditures and to quantity purchased.
For starchy foods, such as macaroni, rice, cereals, etc., on the other
hand, the tendency is not so consistent. In Cincinnati, Cleveland,
and Milwaukee, quantities and per capita expenditures showed an
increase at the high level; in Detroit and Grand Rapids the movement
was downward. In Indianapolis, quantities purchased decreased,
but per capita expenditures rose. This suggests that as economic
resources permitted, the families varied their diets, and obtained more
of their calories from dairy products and other protective foods.
Expenditures for total grain products, however, increased at higher
levels. They varied at the low level from 29.1 cents per capita per
week in Lansing to 40.3 cents in Detroit, and at the high level from
42.7 cents in Lansing to 55.3 cents in Cincinnati. This increase is to
be ascribed, however, more to a change in the form and quality of
such products purchased than to an increase in their quantity.
The largest average expenditure for any single item of food was
for milk. The increase between the average per capita expenditure
at the low and high economic levels varied from 46 percent in Cin­
cinnati to 23 percent in Milwaukee. White bread followed milk as
the individual food item accounting for the second largest per capita
expenditure in all cities but Cleveland, where eggs were second, and
Milwaukee, where butter was second. The relation between per
capita expenditures for bread and the general expenditure level is
irregular. Per capita expenditures for butter showed, in general, a
striking increase at the higher level. Average quantities purchased
also increased. Expenditures for and quantities of eggs purchased
also showed a rise with economic level. The rapid expansion in con­
sumption by workers’ families at higher economic levels of such pro­
tective foods suggests that means rather than tastes limit their use at
the lower planes.

In general, the tendencies shown by the data collected in Columbus
and Lansing for the winter quarter were the same as in the other
cities, where they apply to the spring. Although their own order
varied, the same four items— milk, white bread, butter, and eggs—
were most important at all levels in each city.
No consistent differences appeared between cities in these two
seasons, except that the per capita expenditures for green and leafy
vegetables were, usually, considerably higher for those groups studied
in the spring.
Even a preliminary review of the figures shows that the diets of the
families at the highest economic level had, on the average, a con­
siderably higher nutritive content than those at the lowest economic
level shown. The quantities purchased per capita of foods rich in
minerals and vitamins essential to growth and the maintenance of
health were appreciably greater among the families at the higher
levels of spending, and show that as family resources increased, these
workers were buying diets more nearly meeting their own nutritional
needs and those of their families.

It is of considerable interest to estimate the adequacy of food
expenditures at the different economic levels. Such an estimate 5
furnishes a rough approximation to the probability of adequacy of the
diets purchased to meet the nutritional needs of the families studied
(see table 14 and fig. 7). The prices used in this calculation were the
average prices collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for its food
cost indexes. It is, of course, possible to shop with care and buy at
lower prices than these; a judicious selection of in-season fruits and
vegetables and fish will lower the cost. On the other hand, to secure
an adequate diet at the calculated cost requires extremely careful
planning and food consumption habits which follow nutritional needs
very closely, and the probabilities are that not all families spending
such amounts did in fact achieve adequate diets. The figures furnish,

therefore, the basis for an estimate of the proportion of the families
spending enough for nutritionally adequate food, though they do not
show the proportion of families actually achieving adequate diets.6
The proportions for all families and for families at different economic
levels, as given in table 14, show that the percentage spending enough
to purchase an adequate diet rose very rapidly with rise in economic
level.
Housing
Home ownership .

The proportion of families who owned their homes ranged from 45
percent in Grand Rapids to 26 percent in Cincinnati and Milwaukee.
Except in Cleveland and Detroit, the absolute difference in the per­
centage of families owning homes at the low and high economic levels7
was small. In Detroit the percentage was 35 at the low and 22.5 at
the high economic level, in Cleveland 37 at the low and 22 at the
high. There was a somewhat higher percentage of home owners at
the lower economic levels 8 in the 6 other cities also. This is in part
connected with the larger families at the lower level, and the conse­
quent importance of housing in the economic planning of these
families. Since it is frequently difficult to locate large houses and
apartments for rent, the large family has more incentive to buy than
the small one.
Size o f homes .

In all cities studied in this region, home owners and renters of houses
had larger homes than did those renting apartments, and renters of
unheated apartments had more space than renters of heated apart­
ments. The home owners averaged about six rooms9 per family and
renters of houses almost five and one-half rooms. Families living in
apartments where heat was not included in the monthly rental aver­
aged over four rooms per family, while those in apartments where
heat was furnished by the landlord and included in the rent averaged
close to four rooms. In general, the largest homes were reported in
Grand Rapids and the smallest in Cincinnati.

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

Although families who were either home owners or house renters
were, on the average, larger than those living in multiple-family dwell­
ings, their homes were enough larger to make up for their greater
numbers of children. For the purpose of calculating number of
persons per room, hallways, open porches, kitchenettes, dinettes, and
baths were not counted as rooms. In table 15 it is seen that, in
general, the number of persons per room is greatest among renters of
unheated apartments; that is, apartments in which heat was furnished
by the tenants— usually by means of stoves. When we compare
families living at the higher economic levels with those at lower levels,
there is observed a pronounced downward movement in the number
of persons per room. This is due in large part to the smaller size of
families at the higher living plane. Except at the low economic levels
in Cincinnati, Detroit, and Milwaukee, families in all categories in all
cities in this region averaged less than one person per room, the rough
standard usually accepted in the United States as indicating the
minimum of necessary space. In table 10 of the Tabular Summary,
the data from which these figures are computed are available in a
more detailed break-down by economic level.

Garage.
The increasing importance of the automobile in enabling the Amer­
ican worker to locate land and a house he can afford to buy is indicated
by the fact that more than three-fourths of the home owners in six
city groups studied in this region had garages. In Cincinnati and
Milwaukee about half of the home owners possessed this facility.
Among renters, between 50 and 60 percent of the families had the use
of garages in six cities, about 30 percent in Cincinnati, and about 40
percent in Milwaukee.

Facilities.
About a third of the renters studied in Cincinnati, Grand Rapids,
Indianapolis, and Lansing, about one-fourth in Milwaukee, and less
than one-eighth in Cleveland, Columbus, and Detroit lived in dwellings
without one or more of the following facilities: Running hot water,
inside flush toilets, electric lights, and gas or electricity for cooking.
In all cities except Cleveland, the percentage of home owners lacking
these facilities is considerably less than that of renters. In Cleveland,
6 percent of the renters and 7 percent of the home owners were without
one or more of these modern conveniences. In table 16 there is shown
for both owners and renters of each of the eight cities, the proportion
of families whose homes were equipped with specified facilities, such as
central heat, running hot water, or telephones. It will be observed
that a larger proportion of the home owners had telephones, central
heat, and gas or electricity for cooking, but that renters relatively
more frequently had inside flush toilets. A considerable proportion of




51

EXPENDITURES EOR SPECIFIED GOODS

renting families, and even some among home-owning families, shared
the use of the toilet with other families, and as many as 17 percent of
the renting families in Columbus did not have access at all to inside
flush toilets.
The proportion of families with electric refrigerators was approx­
imately twice as high among the families studied in Cincinnati as
among those studied in the other eight cities. This difference is

apparently related to the fact that rates for electric power to the
amount of 100 kilowatt hours per month were ralatively low in Cin­
cinnati as compared with the other cities in this area for which Bureau
of Labor Statistics secures data on power rates. (The amount of
power needed for lighting a dwelling of average size, for small electric
appliances, and for an electric refrigerator amounts to about 100
kilowatt hours per month.
In table 9 of the Tabular Summary, the data on housing facilities are
presented in greater detail, including a break-down according to
economic level. The items which show a notable increase from low
to high economic level are electric refrigerators, telephones, central
heating, and hot running water.

Housing expenditures.
When families are classified according to economic level, the pro­
portion of total expenditures devoted to housing, fuel, light, and
refrigeration combined shows a slightly declining tendency from low
to high expenditure level (see table 3, tabular summary). In part this
movement is a reflection of the smaller families found at the higher
economic levels, but it is also found when families of one size and type
are isolated and their housing expenditure followed from one income
level to another.
Home owners.— Among the home-owning families found in the sam­
ples in the East North Central cities, average current expenditure for
housing ranged from $145 in Indianapolis to $238 in Cincinnati (see
table 17). Included in the total of current housing expenditure for
home owners are taxes, assessments, repairs and replacements, fire
and liability insurance on home, interest on mortgages, and refinancing
charges, but not principal on mortgage or permanent improvements.




53

EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS

The largest of these items were taxes and interest on mortgage,
followed by repairs and replacements. In all of the cities studied,
there was a notable increase in amount devoted to housing expenditure
by home-owning families at high economic levels as compared with
those at low levels, though it was not proportionate to the increase in
total unit expenditure10 for all items. The average amount invested
in their homes by home owners making such investments during the
year ranged from $99 in Indianapolis to $256 in Grand Rapids. In­
vestment in housing has been treated to include both payments on
principal of mortgage and for permanent improvements to a home,
such as addition of an enclosed porch. Such investment showed a
tendency to increase with economic level except in Indianapolis and
Lansing, where the changes were very irregular.

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

When the amount which home-owning families would have paid to
rent their homes at market prices (annual rental value) is compared
with the cash actually laid out for current housing expenditure, there
is a net difference of income “ in kind” which may be called the im­
puted income from equity in owned home. This figure is shown in
table 17 to have been $100 in Grand Rapids and $213 in Cincinnati.
There may have been some tendency, however, for home owners to
overestimate the rental value of their homes, based on an understand­
able reluctance to allow sufficient depreciation or to recognize the
extent of the fall in rental values which had taken place in most cities
during the depression. For these reasons, the imputed incomes may
be a little high. Another factor which tends to cut down the apparent
differential advantage of home owners as opposed to renters is that
home owners are less able to move about with changing employment
opportunities. The instability of many lines of employment today
makes it highly desirable that a worker be able to move himself and
his family to new locations from time to time if they are not to suffer
severely from some local stoppage of work.
Renters. — Average rents in this region ranged from $11 to $29 per
month (table 17), depending on the city and the type of accomodation
rented. There was a distinct tendency, as indicated in table 10 of the
tabular summary, for rental rates to rise with increase in economic
level.
Vacation housing and room rent at school.— One family in Milwaukee,
2 in Cleveland, and 3 in Grand Rapids owned a vacation home, for
which they spent $18, $7, and $8, respectively. The number of
families making expenditures for rent on vacation or trips was smallest
in Lansing, where but 9 families did so, and largest in Detroit, where
there were 41. Their average expenditure for this item ranged from
$11 in Grand Rapids to $39 in Lansing. With general improvement
in plane of living, there was a sharp increase for all families in the
average amount spent for rent on vacation trips.
Expenditures f o r j u e l , light, and refrigeration.— The cold winters
usually experienced in the cities in the East North Central region 11
are reflected in the inroads upon family finances required by the
annual fuel bill. As is seen in table 18, expenditures were heaviest
in winter and fall, indicating that but few of the families of workers
have sufficient reserve funds or storage facilities to lay in a coal supply
in the summer time, when they might take advantage of the lower
prices prevalent at that season. Expenditures for electricity, gas,
and ice largely account for fuel, light, and refrigeration bills in the
spring and summer.

EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS

In table 11 of the Tabular Summary, detailed information is pre­
sented for expenditures on electricity, anthracite, bituminous coal,
coke, briquets, wood, fuel oil, gas, kerosene, gasoline not used for
automobiles, and ice. Since the actual amount paid for fuel, light,
and refrigeration depends to a large extent on whether a house or an
apartment is involved, and on whether the rent paid the landlord
includes heat, data are presented for families in four separate cate­
gories as well as in the form of averages for all families. As would
be expected, the largest total payments for fuel, light, and refrigera­
tion were made by families heating houses— with coal, electricity, and
gas constituting the principal items of expenditure. The second
largest payments were made by families who purchased fuel to heat
apartments, where heat was not included in rent, with the same three
items predominating.

When families paying separately for heat are classified by amount
of unit expenditure (table 11 of the Tabular Summary), the dollar
expenditures for fuel, light, and refrigeration show a slight increase
from low to high levels. The fact that they do not increase more
sharply indicates the basic nature of these requirements, and the
fact that as funds available for spending increase, a less than pro­
portionate amount goes to them. Electricity expenditures showed
the greatest increase from low to high economic levels.
Other items of household operation.— Items of household operation
other than fuel, light, and refrigeration include water rent, telephone,
domestic service, laundry sent out, laundry soap and cleaning sup­
plies, and other miscellaneous items. Expenditure for these items,
listed in table 12 of the tabular summary, showed marked increase
from low to high economic levels, with the total expenditure approxi­
mately doubling. Those showing the greatest response to change in
economic level were telephones, domestic service, and laundry out.

Furnishings and Equipment

Expenditures for housefumishings and equipment vary more from
family to family than those for most other items (see tables 24A and
B, Tabular Summary). The variability of total furnishings and
equipment expenditure is, of course, greatly exceeded by the varia­
bility of expenditures for individual items in this group. This is
due to the fact that many of the items of furnishings and equipment
are purchased by relatively few families in any one year, and that
when such purchases are made they involve relatively heavy outlays.
The family which bought a living-room suite last year will perhaps
make no important addition to its stock of furniture this year, but
will save toward purchases of other such items in subsequent years.
On account of this high variability, average expenditures for specific
items of furniture and furnishings for relatively small groups of
families do not show significant trends, and the figures on the details
of furniture and equipment purchases have been presented as regional
averages rather than in terms of averages by cities.
Expenditures for furnishings and equipment, which were largely
for electrical appliances, furniture, carpets and rugs, curtains, bed­
ding, and miscellaneous equipment, varied significantly with economic
level. At the lowest level, families in the eight East North Central
cities combined spent $40.90 for this group of items, whereas those
at the highest living plane spent $107.87 for this purpose. (See
table 19.)

cutlery, and pillowcases, with very little variation in rank order
of items between the different economic levels. A large number of
families at all levels also purchased canning equipment or cookers.
Of the various groups of items coming under the general head of
furnishings and equipment, electrical equipment shows the largest
increase in average expenditure from lowest to highest economic level,
and furniture the second. After electric-light bulbs, the most fre­
quently purchased items of electrical equipment at the lowest level
were washing machines, bought by 70 families, and lamps, by 52. At
the highest economic level, 148 families purchased lamps, 102 pur­
chased electric refrigerators, and 77 purchased washing machines.
Washing machines required the largest average expenditure and
electric refrigerators the second largest at the low level. The order
was reversed at the high level.
When the average expenditure for living-room suites is computed
for those families buying such furniture, 46 families among the 839
at the lowest economic level averaged $81; 62 of the 1,023 families at
the intermediate level averaged $102; and 79 of the 832 families at
the highest averaged $121.
Outlays for carpets and rugs by families at the highest economic
level averaged $8.30, as compared with $3.33 at the lowest level.
When these averages are converted to averages per family buying car­
pets and rugs, 121 families at the lowest level averaged $23, whereas
201 families at the highest level averaged $34. On the other hand,
average expenditures for equipment of a more strictly utilitarian type,
felt-base floor covering, were similar for families at both levels, $0.65
and $0.66. The average expenditure per family purchasing this type
of floor covering was the same at both levels— $8.

Clothing
Variability o f clothing expenditures .

Clothing expenditures for any one individual vary greatly from
year to year. An even greater variability exists between the clothing
expenditures of different individuals in any one year. This high
degree of variability results from such factors as the stock of clothing
left over from the previous year, the money income of the family, and
the number of persons within the home whose needs must be supplied
from family funds, and such unusual situations as may require special
purchases. Because of this great difference between the expendi­
tures of individuals it is difficult to secure representative averages on
the clothing expenditures of individuals unless data are available
from a large number of persons. For this reason, average expendi­
tures for individuals for specified articles of clothing have been com­
puted for the region as a whole, and not for separate cities.




58

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

Total expenditure per family fo r clothing.

Among the major groups of family expenditures, those for clothing
are the most elastic. With increases in economic resources among
families of wage-earner and lower-salaried clerical workers, more and
more of the family funds go to solve the problem of what to wear.
The larger average expenditure per family at the high economic level12
is the result not only of the purchase of larger quantities of the same
items purchased by families at the low level, but also of greater variety
and better quality of goods.
Gifts o f clothing.

Among families of wage earners and clerical workers, the custom
of exchanging gifts of clothing at Christmas, birthdays, or other
special occasions is quite extensive. If such presents were paid for
from family funds and exchanged within the economic family they
were not recorded as gifts, but simply as clothing expenses of the
family. If, however, gifts were received from persons outside the
family circle, an attempt was made to ascertain their value. Fiftythree percent of the families at the low economic level, 49 percent at
the intermediate level, and 46 percent at the high reported receiving
them. Their value averaged between $8 and $10. Since some of the
families receiving gifts could not estimate the value, the above figures
do not give a complete account of this item.
Clothing expenditures fo r men and hoys.

The total clothing expenditures per person decreased from $53 for
men and boys 18 years and over through each age group 13 to $17 for
boys aged 2 to 5 years. Such a relationship between average expen­
ditures and age is observed at each of the three economic levels
studied. Within each age group, however, the average expenditure
per person doubled from the low to the high economic level.12
When clothing expenditures of the men and boys are summarized
according to expenditures for headwear, outerwear, underwear, foot­
wear, and miscellaneous items (see table 20), it appears that expendi­
tures for outerwear (which has been defined to include shirts as well
as suits, trousers, overcoats, jackets, sweaters, and similar items) and
for footwear (defined to include hose of all types, shoes, slippers,

spent by each age group. The percentage of total expenditure going
to outerwear for all boys up to 17 years of age was larger at the high
level than at the low. In the case of footwear, the reverse was found
to be true. On the other hand, within each age class, the group of
miscellaneous items including ties and cleaning and repairing ac­
counted for an increasing proportion of total clothing expenditure
with rise in economic level. This group of items received a decreas­
ing proportion of the total from the higher to the lower age groups.

Shoes were purchased by a larger proportion of men and boys
aged 18 and over than any other single item of clothing. At the low
economic level, the average was about 1.4 pairs of street shoes per
person purchasing, at an average price of about $3.55 per pair, as
contrasted with 1.7 pairs at a price of approximately $5 at the high
economic level. Cotton shirts were the item next most frequently




EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS

61

purchased at the low economic level. Garments which have a
relatively short period of wear, such as ties and cotton hose, were
third.
Wool suits claimed the largest proportion of each dollar spent for
clothing by men and boys in this age group. At the low economic
level, they were purchasing either a heavy or a light-weight wool suit
about once in 3 years and paying on the average between $21 and $25
per suit. At the high level, one in three men bought a heavy wool
suit and a light-weight wool suit, indicating that on the average a
man at that level was getting a new heavy or light-weight suit once
every year and a half. The average price paid at this level was about
$30 for a heavy suit and $26 for a light-weight suit. Overcoats
represented the next greatest expenditure. They were purchased by
one in eight men at the low economic level, or the group was buying
at the rate of a new overcoat for each man once in 8 years. The
average price paid for these coats was about $20. At the high level,
the group was buying overcoats at the rate of a new coat every 5
years, at an average price of $26.
At the low level about 50 percent of the men and boys aged 18
years and over availed themselves of cleaning and repairing services,
at an average expenditure per man using such services of $2.20 per
year. At the high level, these figures were 81 percent and $6.
Clothing expenditures fo r women and girls.

Clothing expenditures for women and girls were, in general, similar
to those for men and boys but, in almost all groups, higher. Thus,
men over 18 averaged $53, while women averaged $59. It is also
significant that women make greater adjustments in their clothing
expenditures than men. Thus, women in families at the lowest
economic level surveyed spent 39 percent less than the average, while
men in the same group spent 33 percent less. Apparently the econ­
omies inevitable at the low level made it necessary for women who
stayed at home to depart further from the clothing standards of their
group than the men who went out to work. On the other hand,
women in the highest economic group surveyed spent 53 percent more
than the average while men in this group spent 45 percent more.
Average expenditures per person were less for children than adults,
ranging from $59 for women and girls 18 years of age and over to
$17 for girls aged 2 to 5 years. Expenditures declined consistently for
the lower age groups. Amounts spent for girls 2 through 5 years were
slightly over 33 percent of those of the women and girls 18 years of
age and over at the low level, and 35 percent at the intermediate and
high levels.
A summary of the clothing expenditures of women and girls by
type of clothing purchased is presented in table 21. The distribution




62

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

of clothing expenditures among garments of different types was
similar to that of men and boys. A larger percentage was devoted to
headwear, underwear, and footwear by the women and girls, however,
and a smaller percentage to outerwear. Expenditures for outerwear
and footwear again accounted for about 75 percent of the total clothing
expenditures of each age group. For each age group, the percentage
for outerwear was larger at the high economic level, and that for
footwear smaller.
Expenditures for underwear accounted for 10 to 13 percent of the
total expenditure for each of the age groups. Little variation with
economic level was shown in the proportion of expenditures going for
underwear for the oldest group. The proportion spent for underwear
increased at the high level for girls at each age interval. Miscel­
laneous expenditures, representing on the average between 9 and 5
percent of total expenditures, increased markedly with rise in economic
level. Expenditures for headwear averaged about $3, or 6 percent of
total clothing expenditures for women and girls 18 years of age and
over, and decreased through each age group to an average of 34 cents,
or about 2 percent, for little girls 2 through 5 years of age.
Shoes and silk hose were the items purchased by larger proportions
of women and girls aged 18 and over than any other single item of
clothing. Silk hose ranked first and shoes second at both the low
and high economic levels. Felt hats were purchased by the third
largest number of women at both low and high levels.
The item which accounted for the largest proportion of the dollar
spent for clothing by women and girls 18 and over was shoes at the
low level and silk and rayon dresses at the high. At the low economic
level 16 cents, and'at the high level 12 cents, of the average woman’s
clothing dollar was spent for shoes. At the low and high economic
levels, respectively, the following percentages of the women studied
had expenditures for the indicated types of shoes, and the average
prices paid were as shown.

At the low economic level, an average of seven pairs of hose per
year were purchased by 80 percent of the women. The average price
per pair was 67 cents. At the high level, the corresponding figures
increased to 13 pairs for 92 percent of the women, at an average price
of 80 cents. Approximately half of the women at the low economic

Occupational differences in clothing expenditures.

An analysis of the relative effect of occupation and social environ­
ment on clothing expenditures has been made for all white persons
studied in the 8 East North Central cities and 34 other cities combined.
The total clothing expenditures of men and women engaged in clerical
work were contrasted with the expenditures of those in manual work
and those at home without gainful employment, and of boys and girls
at school, after elimination of any effect upon those differences which
might be due to differing incomes or family composition. (See
appendix G, pp. 433 to 436.)
Among the employed workers under 21, for both men and women,
differences between average expenditures for clothing by wage earners
and by clerical workers were negligible. Among older men and




64

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

women, however, the expenditures of clerical workers were consistently
greater than those of wage earners with similar incomes. The differ­
ences varied for men from 7 percent in the group aged 21 to 24 years
to 15 percent in the group aged 27 to 30. The greater expenditure by
clerical workers than wage earners for clothing was less pronounced
for women than for men up to the twenty-seventh year, but there­
after was much more pronounced for women, reaching a maximum
difference of 44 percent in the age group 42 to 48.
Average clothing expenditures of men and women at home without
gainful employment were substantially lower than those of employed
individuals. Among the men, expenditures of clerical workers ex­
ceeded those of men at home by 38 percent or more for the groups
aged 15 to 21, and by 100 percent or more for the groups aged 21 to 60.
For women, the comparable figures are somewhat less striking, 15
percent for the group aged 15 to 18, and from 52 to 78 percent for the
groups from 18 to 60 years of age. The fact that it is more custom­
ary for adult women to be at home without gainful employment than
for adult men, whereas most of the men found in this situation were
involuntarily at home because of unemployment, probably explains
this very low level of clothing expenditure for unemployed men at
home.
Clothing expenditures for boys aged 15 to 21 at school were onefifth to one-fourth greater than those of unemployed boys at home of
the same age, but were in turn exceeded by 13 percent or more by
clothing expenditures of clerical workers in the same sex-age group.
Girls at school aged 15 to 18 spent 7 percent more than girls at home,
but girl clerical workers of that age spent 7 percent more than the
school girls. At the next age level, 18 to 21, girl clerical workers
spent 25 percent more than school girls, who in turn spent 22 percent
more than girls at home.
At every age level, in comparable occupational categories, the
women spent more for clothing than did men, the average expendi­
ture for women clerical workers aged 24 to 27 being 45 percent greater
than that for men clerical workers of the same age, and the difference
in the age group 36 to 42 for the same occupations being 57 percent.
Women wage earners aged 24 to 27 spent 46 percent more for clothing
than men wage earners of the same age, and in the age group 36 to
42 the difference was 23 percent.

seen graphically in the ensuing charts, figure A.14

Transport at i on
The average animal cost of transportation by trolley, bus, automo­
bile, train, boat, or other means of conveyance for all families in the
cities studied ranged from $131 in Cincinnati to $178 in Indianapolis.
Expenditures of all sorts for automobiles accounted for $83 of the total
in Cincinnati, $149 in Indianapolis, and from 72 to 93 percent of the
total in the remaining cities. Of the balance going to all means of
transportation other than automobile, the largest portion, except in
Lansing, went to trolley fares, used principally for carrying earners to
work and children to school. The proportion of families using the

trolleys was greatest in Cleveland, where 93 percent reported expendi­
tures for this item, and least in Grand Rapids, where 51 percent of the
families reported no trolley expense. There are no trolleys in Lansing,
but 54 percent of Lansing families made expenditures for local bus
fares. Average expenditure for all forms of transportation other than
by automobile and trolley, including local bus, taxi, bicycle, railroad,
interurban bus, boat, or airplane was relatively small.
In all cities studied in this region, expenditures for transportation
showed a sharp increase at the higher economic levels as compared
with the lower, more than doubling in each city. The chief factor
in this was the automobile, since the average expenditures for all other




67

EXPENDITURES EOR SPECIFIED GOODS

forms of transportation were approximately the same at all economic
levels.
The sharp increase in expenditures for automobile maintenance and
operation at higher economic levels is indicated in table 22. Not
only did the percentage of families owning automobiles rise markedly,
but the amount spent for operation and maintenance also showed a
substantial increase. In all the cities but Cincinnati and Columbus,
at the higher economic levels a larger proportion of funds spent for
automobile operation and maintenance went for garage rent and park­
ing fees, repairs, insurance, and tires and tubes. At the lower levels, a
somewhat smaller proportion of the funds devoted to operation and
maintenance was spent for items other than gasoline, oil, and garage,
suggesting that these families made at least part of the repairs on their
automobiles themselves.
The proportion of families purchasing automobiles within the
schedule year (table 13 of Tabular Summary) was naturally much
smaller than the proportion owning cars. Six percent or less pur­
chased new cars during the schedule year, while second-hand cars
were bought by 20 percent in Indianapolis, and, except in Cincinnati
where the percentage was only 6, the remaining cities showed from
8 to 13 percent of families buying second-hand cars.

Expenditures for automobile purchase, new and second-hand,
averaged $290 per car in Grand Rapids and $405 in Cincinnati.
Such expenditures for the remaining six cities averaged about $300.
These averages are computed by dividing the aggregate amount spent
for automobiles by the number of families purchasing them. The
figures include amounts still due on automobiles purchased during the
schedule year, but payments on those purchased in previous years
are not treated as automobile expense in this report, but as reduction
of outstanding liabilities, (See appendix A, p. 380.)

EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS
Recreation

The largest proportion of total expenditures for items classified
under the general heading of recreation in each of these eight cities
went to tobacco, principally in the form of cigarettes, the amounts per
family averaging $20 in Grand Rapids and $32 in Cincinnati. (See the
Tabular Summary, table 15.) The second largest item of recreation
expenditure in all cities was movies, and the third was newspapers
delivered at home, except in Lansing, where newspaper expenditures
exceeded those for movies. Outlays for all types of reading matter
combined equaled or exceeded total expenditures for movies in each
city except Cincinnati; they were confined almost exclusively to news­
papers and magazines, with a very small amount going for purchase
or rental of books. The proportion of white families reporting any
expenditure for books other than school books varied from 2.2 per­
cent in Milwaukee to 10 percent in Detroit and Grand Rapids. The
proportion purchasing magazines was larger, varying from 37.2 per­
cent in Cincinnati to 66.5 percent in Grand Rapids. Recreational
equipment of various sorts, such as cameras and films, athletic supplies,
and radios and other musical instruments, accounts for average expen­
ditures of $13 in five cities, $16 in Grand Rapids, $17 in Cleveland,
and $19 in Detroit.

Total amounts spent per family for recreation increased about two­
fold from low to high economic levels in all cities. The items which
showed relatively greatest increases were radio purchase (table 23),
tobacco, and movies, which in several cities were at least 50 percent
greater at the higher economic levels than at the lower. Expenditures
for reading matter as a whole increased moderately from low to high
levels, but those for magazines more than doubled in most cities.
Personal Care

Expenditures for personal care, which accounted for about 2 percent
of total expenditures at each economic level in all eight cities, include




70

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

outlays for such services as haircuts, shaves, shampoos, and mani­
cures, and for toilet articles and preparations such as brushes and
cosmetics. These expenditures increased about 1% times from the
lowest to the highest plane of living, and were about equally divided
at each level between personal care services and toilet articles and
preparations.
Of each dollar spent for personal care services, haircuts, the most
frequently purchased item, accounted for about 60 to 70 cents, and
permanent waves, the next item, took between 13 and 17 cents.
While expenditures for these items remained relatively constant
from economic level to economic level, the amount spent for shaves
by barbers and for shampoos increased manyfold from the lowest to
the highest plane.
Not only do as large a proportion of the families at the lowest
economic level as at the highest report expenditures for toilet soap,
tooth powder, tooth paste, brushes, and other toilet articles, but also
the average expenditure per family for such articles remains about the
same. In contrast to this consistency, the expenditures per family
for cosmetics and toilet preparations almost double from the lowest
to the highest economic level.
In connection with these relatively constant expenditures per
family, it is to be recalled that families at the higher economic levels
are smaller than those at the lower levels. Average expenditure for
personal care per person more than doubled from low to high economic
levels.
Medical Care

A consistent increase in the amount spent for medical care per
family from the lowest to the highest economic levels occurred in
each of the eight cities in the East North Central region. (See table
24.) This tendency, combined with the decreasing size of family
with rise in economic level, yields considerably more adequate care
for the health of each person in the family at the upper planes. The
actual average expenditure per person for medical care more than
trebles in one-half of the cities from the lowest to the highest economic
level, and more than doubles in the other half, where the figure is
$35 or less for families spending $600 and over per expenditure unit.
Even this figure, however, compares unfavorably with the $76 esti­
mated by Samuel Bradbury and accepted by the Technical Committee
on Medical Care as needed to provide the fundamentals of good medi­
cal care on a fee-for-service basis.15

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

Medicine and drugs were purchased by a larger proportion of fam­
ilies than any other form of medical care at all planes of living.
In general, at the lowest economic level the largest proportion of
expenditure for medical services per family was devoted to payment of
general practitioners and to dental care. These services were used
with the same relative frequency. While at the highest economic level
more families reported expenditures for dentists than for any other
type of service, the average outlay per family decreased in importance,
being preceded by amounts spent for specialists, as well as for the
general practitioner. The services of general practitioners were used
by about the same proportion of families at the lowest as at the highest
economic levels, but the average expenditures per family for these
services tended to increase. The families studied were usually more
likely to go to the offices of general practitioners for medical assistance
than to call these doctors to their homes, and the average expenditure
per family was slightly larger for the former type of service. Both the
proportion of families using, and the average expenditure per family
for specialists increased with rise in economic level.
At every economic level in each city, the proportion of families re­
porting payment for the use of clinic services is amazingly small, par­
ticularly in view of the fact that it is usual for clinics always to make
some very small charge, even to very poor families. The proportion
reporting such expenditure ranged from about 1 in 18 families in
Detroit to about 1 in 89 in Columbus. No families reported use of
clinic services in Indianapolis. The amount spent per family for this
purpose seems not to be a function of economic level, since there is no
discernible tendency of either increase or decrease in amount with
improvement in living plane. No figures were secured on the amount
of medical care received by these families without any money payment.
With the exception of Lansing, there is a distinct increase in the
expenditure per family for accident and health insurance with rise
in economic level. For all families studied, the average expenditure
per family varied between $2.50 in Cincinnati and $5.80 in Lansing.

Formal Education
If the investigation had been extended to cover all the goods and
services received without direct expense by the groups studied, a large
section of the schedule would have been devoted to the amount and
kinds of education provided by the city and by other agencies for
children and adults. Elementary school, high school, trade school,
classes in museums and libraries and in parks, free of immediate cost
to those who take advantage of them, are to a greater or less degree a
regular part of the life of all the eight cities covered by this report.
They are, of course, paid for by the citizens, but no figures have been




EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS

73

secured in the present study on the use of these educational facilities
by the group covered, or the indirect cost to this group of the city’s
educational system.
Direct expenditures for formal education, i. e., for textbooks, school
supplies, or tuition, occupy but an insignificant place in the expendi­
ture pattern of the families studied, accounting for less than 1 percent
of total expenditures in every group.
A function of the number of persons of school age in the various
families, these expenditures show no positive correlation with eco­
nomic level. In every city, the bulk of them, which varied between
averages of $5 and $9, were for members living at home. They in­
cluded all such items as books, pencils, paper, and supplies paid for by
the families.
The number of families reporting expenditures for members in
school away from home was four or less in all cities except Milwaukee,
where seven reported them.
Vocation

Expenditures for union dues or fees, professional association dues or
fees, technical literature, and similar items have been classified as
“ vocational expense.” In general, they increase sharply from the
lowest to the highest economic level, but the small numbers of cases
upon which the averages are based result in some irregularities in
movement. Of such expenditures, the largest part went for union
dues and fees, which averaged $5 or less except in Cincinnati, M il­
waukee, and Cleveland; they tended to increase from the lowest to
the highest economic level in all cities except Lansing and Milwaukee.
The number of families making expenditure for professional dues or
fees ranged from 1 in Indianapolis to 10 in Detroit.
Gifts and Contributions to Individuals and to Community Welfare
Agencies, and Direct Taxes

When the average amounts given directly to individuals are con­
trasted with contributions to community chests and other welfare
agencies, the families’ close contact with individuals in need is em­
phasized, as well as the generosity of their response (see table 25).
For each of the eight cities except Grand Rapids, the amounts con­
tributed to religious organizations and community chests, and paid
in personal taxes, are uniformly less than are gifts and contributions
to the support of relatives and other persons outside the economic
family. The latter expenditures are not only greater, on the average,
but increase much more rapidly from the lowest to the highest
economic level.
The amount spent per family in gifts and contributions to individu­
als varied from an average of $20 in Milwaukee to $30 in Cleveland,




74

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

as compared with $18 for contributions to welfare agencies and taxes
in each of these two cities.
In all cities, gifts to religious organizations constituted the bulk of
the outlay for community welfare. The proportion of families
making such contributions remained relatively constant from eco­
nomic level to economic level, while the average actual contribution
tended to increase slightly.
Amounts paid in direct poll, income, and personal property taxes
were negligible, ranging from zero in Columbus to $8.50 in Indian­
apolis. These variations are due in part to differences in the laws of
the various states at the time covered by the investigations. Taxes
on real estate and sales taxes are not included in these averages.
Although separate figures were obtained for taxes on real estate, they
were entered with expenditures for housing. It was impossible to
secure complete figures on amounts paid in sales tax, and in conse­
quence they have been combined with expenditures for the items on
which they were paid.
Christmas and birthday gifts constitute the major proportion of all
expenditures for contributions to persons outside the economic family
at the lowest plane of living, but are about equal in size to contribu­
tions for support of relatives at the highest.
Miscellaneous Items

In general, expenditures for all miscellaneous items increase rapidly
from the lowest to the highest economic levels, but due to the small
numbers of families reporting on the individual items, great irregu­
larities appear. Expenditures for funerals were reported by no
families in Lansing, and by a maximum number of 13 in Cleveland.
Legal costs and gardens were the other outstanding items in this
group of expenditures, averaging usually less than a dollar per family,
and moving in no distinct direction with rise in economic level.

Distribution of Current Expenditures in 1934-36 as Compared W ith
Those in 1917-18

A comparison of the percentage distribution of expenditures by
families studied in 1917-18 1 with that by comparable families sur­
veyed in 1934-36 in cities in the East North Central region, sheds
much light on changes in the consumption situation which have taken
place between these two periods. The cities in the East North
Central region which were studied both in 1917-18 and in 1934-36
are Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Indian­
apolis, and Milwaukee. However, to make comparisons of the
expenditures of the two groups of families it is first necessary to con­
vert the dollar figures of the 1917-18 study to values which are com­
parable to the price levels which prevailed in 1934-36. Cost of living
indexes needed for this conversion are available only for Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Detroit, and Indianapolis. In the tabular summary,
tables 21, 22, and 23 present income and expenditure data for all
seven cities for families studied in 1934-36 of the same composition
as those included in the 1917-18 study. The following discussion is,
however, limited to the four cities for which the indexes are available.
The percentage changes which have taken place in the costs of goods
from 1917-18 to 1934-36 for these four cities are given in table 26.
Costs of food, housefurnishing goods, and clothing decreased for all of
the cities, while those for fuel and light and miscellaneous items
increased.
To secure goods which cost $1,500 at the time covered by the
1917-18 survey, it would have been necessary to spend at the time
covered by the second survey $1,299 in Detroit, where the greatest
difference in price level appears, but $1,498 in Cleveland, where the
least difference is shown.
Comparing the families with incomes from $1,200 to $1,500 in the
1917-18 study with the comparable families studied in 1934-36,2 one
of the most striking facts is the general increase in the level of ex­
penditure. From table 27, this is more apparent, for when the figures

tics, Bull. No. 357: Cost of Living in the United States, 1924.

on average expenditures by the wage earners and clerical workers in
the four cities had been converted to the purchasing power prevailing
during the period of the present investigation, the increase in the total
expenditures ranged from $98 in Cleveland to $289 in Indianapolis.
The percentage increase in this real level of expenditure was 7.3 in
Cleveland, 13.5 in Cincinnati, 22.3 in Detroit, and 25.5 in Indianapolis
(see table 27).

1Both in terms of 1934-36 price level.

These increases are not a result entirely of increases in real incomes.
The real incomes of the groups studied in 1934-36 were 7.1 percent
higher in Cincinnati, 1.7 percent lower in Cleveland, 13.1 percent
higher in Detroit, and 9.9 percent higher in Indianapolis (see table 27).
In Cleveland, Detroit, and Indianapolis the balance of the additional
current expenditure was financed by drawing upon funds other than
current income. In contrast with the situation found in 1934-36,
where about $69 of average family expenditure in Cleveland, $44 in
Detroit, and $78 in Indianapolis came from sources other than their
current income, the group of families studied in 1917-18 had current
expenditures averaging from $28 to $92 less than current incomes for
those three cities. In Cincinnati, the balance of additional current
expenditure was made possible by diverting a smaller proportion of
current income to savings and investments than did the families
studied in 1917-18. While the current expenditures of the group of
families studied in 1917-18 in Cincinnati were about $70 less than

Cincinnati, Oct. 31, 1918, in Cleveland, Oct. 31, 1918, in Detroit, and Dec. 31, 1918, in Indianapolis.
2Data for 1917-18 based on figures published in Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Bull. No. 357, pp. 19, 20, 25, 35.
3Data in terms of 1934-36 dollars were computed from original figures by means of percentage changes in
the cost of food, clothing, rent, fuel and light, furniture and furnishings, and miscellaneous items from the
year of the earlier studies in each of the four cities.
* For detailed distribution of expenditures, see tabular summary, table 23.

An analysis of the figures secured from the groups studied in Cin­
cinnati in the two periods will illustrate the type of changes in family
living which have occurred in the interval between the investigations.
The group in the income band $1,200 to $1,500 studied in 1917-18
spent on the average $1,241 for current living. Of this, $504 (40.6
percent) was spent for food. Because of the decline in food prices, the
same kinds and quantities of food could have been purchased for $412
at the time of the second investigation, but food habits had changed to
such an extent that the group studied in 1934-36 actually spent on the
average $93 more than this for food, $505 or 36.9 percent of their total
current expenditures. Clothing prices also declined, so that the aver­
age clothing expenditures of the Cincinnati group in the income band
$1,200 to $1,500 studied in 1934-36 were not only $59 less than those
of the group studied there in 1917-18, but $3 less than the calculated
3These deficits, i. e., expenditures from sources other than current income in three cities and savings in
Cincinnati, were calculated in 1934-36 from the families’ own statements of the net changes in their assets
and liabilities during the schedule year, and not by subtracting income from expenditure. See further
discussion of this point on p. 375.

1934-36 cost of the clothing bought in 1917-18. While the two groups
of families studied spent practically the same amount for furniture and
furnishings, the same goods purchased by the families surveyed in
1917-18 for $66 could have been purchased in 1934-36 for $61. The
cost of housing, fuel and light, and miscellaneous items rose in Cin­
cinnati in the interval between the two surveys, and the group studied
in the second period is found to have spent more for housing, and
fuel, light, and refrigeration combined both in dollars and percentage­
wise than the group studied in the earlier period. On the other hand,
expenditures for miscellaneous items by the 1934-36 group met the
calculated cost of the miscellaneous items purchased by the 1917-18
group within one dollar.
A comparison of the cost of the 1917-18 purchases in 1934-36
dollars with the distribution of the actual purchases in 1934-36 shows
in all four cities a trend toward larger purchases of food, decreased
purchases of clothing, and larger current expenditures for housing and
fuel and light. There is a decline in the proportion of total expendi­
ture devoted to furniture and furnishings.
The group covering miscellaneous items in each city in 1934-36
study claims a larger percentage of the total than appeared in the
1917-18 purchases expressed in the dollars of those years, but a smaller
percentage than would have been required to buy the 1917-18 level
in 1934-36 dollars.

Schedules were obtained from 201 Negro families in Cincinnati,
Ohio, and Indianapolis, Ind. These samples were chosen at the
same time and in the same way as the samples for the white families
in these two cities, and represent a cross section of the families of
employed Negro wage earners and clerical workers there in 1935-36.
These samples were not intended to be representative of the total
Negro population of wage earners and clerical workers, as the study
did not extend to families on relief. An estimate based on figures
from the Division of Social Research of the Works Progress Adminis­
tration places the number of Negro families of two or more persons on
relief at 12,500 in Hamilton County, where Cincinnati is located, and
at 6,200 in Marion County, where Indianapolis is located, during
March 1935, the month of the peak relief load in the period of the
present investigation.2 A general idea of the proportion of families
excluded from the study in Marion County because of this factor can
be gained from a comparison of these figures with the number of Negro
families of two or more persons reported by the census of 1930. The
proportion on relief in the high month in Marion County is 60 percent
of that total number. The number of Negro families on relief in
March 1935 in Hamilton County is 81 percent of the estimated number
of Negro families there in 1935.
Furthermore, it will be remembered that the plan of the study pro­
vided that no family be included which had an income of less than
$500, or in which no earner had been employed for a minimum of 36
weeks (see appendix D, p. 402). These same criteria for inclusion of
Negro as for white families were followed, even though they resulted
in a sample with incomes relatively higher than those of the entire
Negro population, in order that comparisons might be made between
the spending of comparable families of employed Negro and white
workers.
In the groups surveyed, family incomes ranged from $515 to $1,902
among the Cincinnati Negro families, and from $520 to $1,993 among

those in Indianapolis. The maximum income in the Cincinnati
Negro group was achieved by a family having two full-time earners.
The husband was a mail carrier and the homemaker a maid. The
Indianapolis Negro family with the greatest income had four earners.
The husband was a janitor and the three daughters were a grocery
clerk, a maid, and a clerk in a doctor’s office, respectively.
Family incomes among the Negro groups studied in Cincinnati and
Indianapolis averaged about $1,010 and $990, respectively.3

The average income is influenced by a scattering of the higher
incomes. In both cities, the mean average was slightly higher than
the median, the income level that divides the families into two equal
groups. Table 29 shows the average net money income, and the
incomes below which one-fourth, one-half, and three-fourths of the
families fell.
As with white families, the chief source of family income was
earnings. The highest earnings reported for any one individual were
those of a Negro probation officer in Cincinnati of $1,800, and of a
Negro patrolman in Indianapolis of $1,820.
The importance of earnings of subsidiary earners in family income
is about the same for the Negro as for the white families studied.
From table 30 it is apparent that the percentage provided by earnings
of the chief earner decreases with a rise in total family income, while
the percentage provided by subsidiary earners increases markedly, in
all the income groups covered. The average number of persons
reporting employment at any time during the year (see tabular sum­
mary, table 2) increased consistently from low to high income levels,
rising to 1.3 persons in Cincinnati for the $l,500-and-over groups and
2.4 persons in Indianapolis for the same group.
3 R. A. Fisher’smethod for the analysis of variance (discussed on pp. 226 and 227of his “Statistical methods
for research workers,” sixth ed., London, 1936) was used to test whether the mean incomes obtained in the
two cities differed more than could be expected if successive samples had been drawn at random from the
same population. It was found that the difference between these two averages is large enough to be con­
sidered statistically significant. A much greater significance was found, however, in the differences between
the average incomes of the white and Negro families within the two cities.

Current Expenditures of Each City Group as a Whole 4
As with the white families, the most important single group for the
Negro families studied was food (see Tabular Summary, tables 3 and 6,
and text table 31), which required in each of the two cities more than
a third of total current expenditures. The percentage spent for food
in Cincinnati was very little higher than that spent by the white
families with comparable incomes in this city, as well as that of the
Indianapolis Negro group. In the latter city, the proportionate Negro
expenditure was somewhat higher than that of comparable white
families. Likewise the proportion allotted to the second largest item
of expenditure in both cities (i. e., housing, including fuel, light, and
refrigeration) was higher, on the average, for all Negro families than
for all white families, as was also true when the same income levels of
the two groups were compared. Among the Negroes, such expendi­
tures accounted for 26.2 cents out of every dollar spent in Cincinnati,
and 25.5 cents in Indianapolis

Expenditures for clothing came next in importance in disbursements,
accounting for 10 percent of the total in each of the cities. The dollar
figures were less than the corresponding averages for white families,
but the percentages for the two color groups were very similar. Ex­
penditures for furnishings and equipment took fourth place among
the Negro families in both cities, requiring less than 5 cents out of
every dollar spent. Outlays for recreation accounted for about 4.5
percent of total expenditures. Transportation expenditures for other
items than automobiles accounted for 4.0 and 3.4 percent, with auto­
mobile expenditures averaging about 2 percent. In Cincinnati,
4 C urrent exp en d itu res are d efined on p. 374.

personal care expenditures accounted for 1.9 percent of total expendi­
tures, and in Indianapolis, 2.2 percent. Expenditures for medical
care, education, vocation, gifts and contributions to individuals and
to the community welfare, and household operation other than for
fuel, light, and refrigeration made up the balance of a total expendi­
ture of $988 in Cincinnati and $941 in Indianapolis.

Distribution of Expenditures at Successive Income Levels5
For the Negro families both in Cincinnati and in Indianapolis, as
incomes increased, the percentage spent for food and housing (includ­
ing fuel, light, and refrigeration) declined. Expenditures for clothing,
furnishings and equipment, transportation, and gifts to persons out­
side the economic family, on the contrary, tend to go up with a rising
income level. The increase in the expenditures for clothing is due
not only to the fact that they are one of the most elastic items in the
family budget, but also to the larger number of persons to be clothed
at the higher income levels. The dollar expenditures for transporta­
tion increased threefold from the lowest income level to that of $1,500
and over in Cincinnati, and doubled in Indianapolis for the same
groups. Dollar expenditures for household operation other than
fuel, light, and refrigeration showed the most striking change from
low to high income levels, increasing threefold in both Cincinnati
and Indianapolis.
For the other groups of items covered by current family expendi­
tures, no consistent tendency from income level to income level
appears, largely because this expenditure is not solely a function of
income, but is very much affected by the size and composition of the
families at the various intervals. In general, the percentages spent
for personal care at each income level fluctuate around the average
for all families of 1.9 percent of total expenditures in Cincinnati and
2.2 in Indianapolis. Likewise those for community welfare vary
irregularly about the averages for all families of 1.2 and 2.1 percent
respectively. The percentage for medical care and for recreation tend
to increase with income. Expenditures for vocation and education
were negligible at every income level except at the highest shown
in Cincinnati, where 4.3 percent of the total expenditure was devoted
to education.
From table 32, it is apparent that the increase from low to high
incomes in total family expenditure was much greater than the increase
in expenditure per unit. In fact the former more than doubled from
the lowest to the highest income groups shown, while the latter in­
creased less than 60 percent. This is explained by the increasing size
of family in terms of expenditure units at higher income levels.

Size and composition o f family.
The average number of persons per family was about the same, or
slightly larger, among the Negro as among the white group in both
cities. Among the Negro families it was 3.37 in Cincinnati and
3.63 in Indianapolis, which is slightly larger than the median size of
family shown in the census of 1930 for all Negro families of two persons

or more of 2.97 in Cincinnati and 3.0 in Indianapolis. Had the study
been extended to include Negro families on relief, the average size of
family included would have been larger. The average size of Negro
families on relief (4.1) in the peak month during the period of the in­
vestigation was distinctly larger in Cincinnati than that of the fami­
lies scheduled in that city, and slightly larger in Indianapolis (3.7).
The average number of children under 16 years old in the Negro
families, as well as the average number of adults, was slightly larger
than in the white families. The number of children per family tends
to increase from one income level to another in both cities. The same
holds for the average size of family, where the number of persons rises
from 3.0 in the income groups $500 to $900 to 4.11 in the group with
income above $1,500 in Cincinnati, and from 3.12 to 5.51 for the cor­
responding levels in Indianapolis. About one-half of the families in
each city were composed of adults only; of these, slightly more than
half included a husband and wife only.
Order o f Expenditures at Successive Economic Levels 6
Since the incomes and the number, age, sex, and occupation of
the persons dependent on the family funds of the Negro families
studied varied quite as much as among the white families, the data
secured from the Negro families were also analyzed by economic
level.7 The tendencies noted for white families, i. e., increase in income
and decrease in family size with rise in economic level, obtain for the
Negro families in both cities.
With a rise in economic level, there appeared in each city a striking
decline in the percentage of expenditure allotted to food, and a much
less extreme decrease in the percentages for housing (including fuel,
light, and refrigeration). In contrast to the change noted when the
families were classified according to income level, the proportion of
each dollar which is spent for clothing remains almost constant with the
progression from low to high economic levels. The general tendency
for the other groups of items covered by current family expenditures
is to increase with improvement in the economic status of the family.
Interesting contrasts to the figures given in table 32 are presented
in table 33. The movements in the amounts of unit expenditure when
families are classified by economic level are different from the same
data when classified by income. Whereas the average unit expenditure
for all items increases twofold from the lowest economic level to the
$400 and over level, from the lowest to the highest income level the
increase was about 20 percent in Indianapolis and 60 percent in Cin­
cinnati.

Order o f expenditures at two economic levels.
A comparison of the rank order of the different group items of
expenditure at the lowest and at the highest economic levels among
the Negro families, as shown in table 34, reveals that about the same
types of shifts in consumer demand between the two levels occur for
them as for the white families. The three items constituting the
bulk of the expenditures, food, clothing, and housing (including fuel,
light, and refrigeration), do not change rank from the lowest to the
highest plane of living. Within the range of economic levels covered
in this investigation, these three necessary items must take such a
large share of the total that there is little possibility of their being
exceeded by any other class of expenditures. In comparing this
table with the similar figures shown for white families, it should be
remembered that the range of variations in economic status is greater
for the latter than for the Negro group. The highest economic level
at which any considerable number of white families were found was
that at which $600 to $700 was spent per expenditure unit, while for
Negroes there were very few families with a unit expenditure of more
than $400 to $500.
Although food expenditures rank first at both levels in each city,
the food consumption at the two levels is very different, due to the
difference in total dollars spent and in the size of the family. As in
the case of the white families studied, the number of expenditure units
per Negro family decreased markedly from the lowest to the highest
economic level. When total food expenditures are divided by the

number of food expenditure units,8 the result gives striking evidence
of the change in food consumption from one level to another (see
table 33).
The greatest shift in rank order occurred in Indianapolis in expendi­
tures for automobile transportation, which moved from eleventh at the
low to sixth place at the high level, and in those for furnishings and
equipment, which rose from eighth to fourth place. In Cincinnati,
expenditures for the corresponding items rose from fourteenth to
twelfth and from seventh to sixth place. Gifts and contributions
likewise occupy a more important place at high economic levels than
at low, moving from twelfth to tenth place in Cincinnati and from
thirteenth to twelfth in Indianapolis.
Since the expenditures for medical care were so small as not to
provide for adequate health services, but were made primarily for
emergencies, which are never a function of economic status, it is not
surprising that the movement in rank of such expenditures at low and
high levels is not the same in Cincinnati and Indianapolis. In the
former city, expenditures for medical services rose from ninth to
seventh place, while in the latter they dropped from fourth to seventh
place.

schedule, although as many as 31 of the families in Cincinnati and 21 in
Indianapolis were able to meet all of the demands for family living
only by drawing on assets accumulated previously or by borrowing
during the schedule year; the average deficit per family having a
deficit was $78 in Cincinnati and $68 in Indianapolis.9 A small pro­
portion of the families in each city reported incomes just balancing
current expenditures. When all families in each sample were grouped
together, there resulted an average net surplus of $29 in Cincinnati and
of $46 in Indianapolis.
The general pattern noted for white families was large average
deficits at the lowest income levels, decreasing progressively until the
turning point was reached, after which at each successive interval there
was an average surplus for all families. When Negro families were
classified by income level, this was not found. This difference is due
in part to the smaller number of cases, and hence the greater influence
of a few families having very large surpluses and deficits, and in part
apparently to a difference in the consumption habits of the two
groups. Although the two Negro groups had incomes lower both in
actual dollars and in relation to the persons dependent on them than
the white groups studied simultaneously in Cincinnati and Indian­
apolis, they showed a smaller proportion of families increasing their
liabilities during the year, and a larger relative savings. In both the
Cincinnati and Indianapolis groups, there was an average net surplus
at every income level (see tabular summary, table 5). The size of
this surplus increased at the higher income levels. The fact that
Negro families probably have greater difficulty than white families in
obtaining credit is doubtless one reason for this situation. A further
explanation of their greater tendency to save may be the fact that
those families studied enjoyed relatively high incomes as compared
with the total Negro population, whereas the white families studied
may have had more social contact with families with higher incomes.
When families are classified by economic level (as shown in detail
in tabular summary, table 4) even greater irregularities are found.
The Negro families as exemplified by the samples in Cincinnati and
Indianapolis do not follow the pattern found among the white families,
i. e., the general tendency for the figures on the net change in assets
and liabilities to show an average surplus for all families at the lower
economic levels and an average deficit for all families at the higher.
From table 35 it can be seen that when all Negro families are grouped
into just three economic levels, at each level in both cities there was

An analysis of the changes in assets and liabilities, as shown in
table 36, reveals that contrary to the tendency noted for white
families, the reductions in assets and increases in liabilities tend to
occur in similar amounts at both high and low economic levels. The
rising tide of installment buying characteristic of the years following
the depression of 1933 is probably a factor in the sizeable increase in
liabilities of these Negro families. For families both in Cincinnati
and Indianapolis, increases in amounts due on goods purchased on
the installment plan assumed a larger proportion of the total increase
in liabilities with rise in the expenditure level of families. In Cin­
cinnati, increases in sums owed for goods (including automobiles)
purchased on the installment plan amounted to 65 percent of increases
in all liabilities at the low economic level and 77 percent at the high.
Comparable percentages in Indianapolis were 40 and 86. A compari­
son of the average increase in such liabilities with decreases reported
by families having smaller amounts outstanding on goods purchased
this way at the end of the year than at the beginning, shows that in
both cities total obligations incurred during the year were considerably
larger than those paid off.

Expenditures for Specified Goods
Annual food expenditure .

Food

In both cities, average food expenditures per family declined con­
sistently as a percentage of total current expenditure with rise in
economic level.1 Average dollar outlays per family for food prepared
at home (including food for lunches carried to work and to school)
remained about the same at the low and high levels in both cities.
The average annual expenditure at the lowest level was $354 in
Cincinnati and $336 in Indianapolis.
On the contrary, actual dollar expenditures for food bought and
eaten away from home increased considerably with improvement in
plane of living, rising 81 percent in Cincinnati and 47 percent in
Indianapolis. Of each dollar spent for food in Cincinnati, at the low
economic level about 4 cents was used to purchase meals away from
home, and at the highest level about 8 cents. In Indianapolis, 3 and
5 cents were spent for this purpose. Expenditures for meals at work
increased from the low to the high levels much less rapidly than did
total expenditures for food away from home. Only one family in
Cincinnati and none in Indianapolis reported payment for board at
school.
Food expenditures in 1 wee\ in the spring quarter .

The types of food purchased by the Negro families in the two
cities studied in the East North Central region show striking similar­
ities. From table 37 it is apparent that the distribution of each food
dollar among groups of food is practically the same for the two
samples.
Data on 194 separate foods purchased and consumed during one
typical week in the spring quarter show that not only is there a
marked increase in the average expenditure per capita with rise in
economic level, but also that the types and quantities of foods are
different at the various levels. The figures on the details of food

three different economic levels.2
A comparison of the amounts spent for food per capita per week 3
by families at the three expenditure levels shows the total at the
highest plane to be slightly more than twice that at the lowest. The
Negro families in both these cities devoted a smaller proportion of
their total food expenditures to milk products and miscellaneous
foods, and a larger proportion to meat, than the white families at
comparable economic levels.

In part, the very small expenditure for milk products by Negro
families found at the highest economic level studied is due to the
relatively small number of children in this group. In part, however,
it seems to be due to a general tendency not to consume as much milk
as the white families. In the groups spending from $400 to $600 per
expenditure unit among the white families in Cincinnati and Indian2 See footn ote 1, p. 94, an d T a b u lar S u m m a ry , ta b le 7.

pounds (after converting condensed and evaporated to equivalent
quantities of whole milk) and among the Negro families spending $400
and over, 3.92 pounds on the same basis.
An estimate of the proportion of families at each of the three
economic levels spending enough to buy an adequate diet shows a
striking progression from those in the lowest to those in the highest.
For Cincinnati, the proportion rises from 2.8 percent of the families
at the lowest level, to 34.6 percent at the intermediate level and 84.2

of making this estimate and its limitations, see page 47.

Home owners, who constituted 10 percent of the Negro families
studied in Cincinnati and 19 percent in Indianapolis, enjoyed larger
houses than the renters in the group, an average difference of one
room in Indianapolis and in Cincinnati.

From table 38 it is apparent that the number of persons per room
was greater among families living in multiple-dwelling units than
among home owners and renters of houses. A more striking fact
shown in this table is the consistent downward movement in the num­
ber of persons per room with rise in economic level. The relatively
high standard of most of these families m regard to the minimum
necessary space is not to be taken as indicating the condition of all
Negroes in these two cities, since it must be remembered that the
sample is a cross section only of wage earners and clerical workers with
a given minimum employment and income, who at no time during
the schedule year had received relief.
As with the white families, home owners surpassed renters in the
proportion of families having garden space. Six of the 10 home
owners in Cincinnati and 17 of the 19 in Indianapolis had space
suitable for gardening in connection with their homes, whereas the

i Figures not presentedbecauseofsmall number offamilies inthis classification.

Only 4 of the 100 Negro families studied in Cincinnati and 37 of
the 101 in Indianapolis reported the use of garages. In each city a
larger proportion of home owners were so equipped.
Thirty-two percent of the renters and 40 percent of the home
owners among Negro families in Cincinnati, and 20 percent of the
renters and 63 percent of the home owners in Indianapolis, lived in
dwellings without one or more of the following facilities: Running hot
water, inside flush toilets, electric lights, and gas or electricity for
cooking. From table 39, which shows the percentage of families




98

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

having various facilities such as central heating, telephone, etc., it is
apparent that the home owners lived in relatively more comfortable
dwellings than did renters. Even so, 40 percent of the home owners
in Cincinnati and about 21 percent in Indianapolis did not have access
to inside flush toilets. Forty-one percent of the renters in Cincinnati
and about 5 percent in Indianapolis shared the use of the toilet with
other families.
In table 9 of the Tabular Summary, the data on housing facilities
are presented in greater detail, including a break-down according to
economic level.
Housing expenditures.

Due to the relative urgency of their housing requirements, when
the Negro families were classified according to economic level, at each
plane approximately a quarter of total expenditures were devoted to
housing including fuel, light, and refrigeration. (For further details,
see table 10 in the tablular summary.)

Home owners.— Among Negro home owners in Indianapolis, average
current expenditures for housing were about $50 less than for white
families in that city (see table 40 and tabular summary, table 10).
Of the items included, taxes, interest on mortgages, and repairs and
replacements accounted for about 90 percent of the total housing
expenditure, which averaged $111. Due to the small number of




99

EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS

cases, the movement of current housing expenditure with increase in
economic level is extremely irregular.
On the average, these Negro families in Indianapolis were able to
invest about $90 in their own homes; that is, to make payments on
principal of mortgages or permanent improvements.
Renters.— The average monthly rental rate for apartments with heat
not included in rent was $14 in Cincinnati. Even for houses in this
city, the average rental rate per month was less than $18 (see table 40).
In general, there was a tendency for the average monthly rent paid to
increase with rise in economic level, as can be seen in table 10 of the
tabular summary.
Secondary housing.— None of the Negro families studied owned a
vacation home, nor did any family pay rent on a vacation or a trip.

Fuel , light, and refrigeration.— Expenditures for fuel, light, and
refrigeration were heaviest in winter and fall, with practically no
purchases of coal in spring and summer. In table 11 of the tabular
summary, detailed information is presented for expenditures for
electricity, anthracite, bituminous coal, coke, briquets, wood, fuel
oil, gas, kerosene, gasoline not used for automobiles, and ice. Since
the actual amount paid for fuel, light, and refrigeration depends to a
large extent on whether a house or an apartment is involved, and on




100

EAST NORTH CENTRAL REGION

whether the rent paid the landlord includes heat, data are presented
in that table for families in 4 separate housing categories as well as
in the form of averages for all families.
Other items of household operation.— Items of household operation
other than fuel, light, and refrigeration include water rent, telephone,
domestic service, laundry sent out, laundry soap and cleaning sup­
plies, and other miscellaneous items. Expenditures for these items
as shown in table 12 of the tabular summary increased markedly from
low to high planes of living. Laundry out and telephone expenditures
increased manyfold from the lowest to the highest economic levels, as
they did among white families. Expenditures for part-time domestic
service were reported by 1 family at the highest level in Cincinnati,
and 1 at the lowest in Indianapolis. Full-time domestic service was
enjoyed only by 1 family at the highest plane in Cincinnati.
Furnishings and Equipment 4
Expenditures for furnishings and equipment were largely for suites
of furniture, electric refrigerators, ice boxes, stoves and ranges, and
carpets and rugs. At the lowest level, an average of $35.60 was spent
for this group of items for the year, whereas, by some coincidence,
families at the two highest levels, spent $52.24 (see table 41 and
Tabular Summary, table 18.)

NOTES ON TABULAR SUMMARY

101

The goods purchased at different levels varied not only in kind, but
in quantity. The articles purchased by the largest proportion of
families at the lowest economic level were fundamentals of house­
hold equipment: Brooms, brushes, and mops; electric light bulbs;
stoves and ranges (other than electric stoves); tubs, boards, and
wringers; and sheets and pillow cases. Curtains and draperies,
upholstered chairs, electric refrigerators, and felt-base floor coverings,
on the contrary, were purchased by families at the highest level rela­
tively more frequently than by those at the lowest.
Of the various groups of items coming under the general head of
furnishings and equipment, those for electrical equipment increased
most markedly from low to high planes of living.
Clothing 5
Total expenditure per family fo r clothing .

Total expenditure for clothing by Negro families in the East North
Central region averaged $95 per family (see tabular summary, table
17). Outlays for families at the lowest level averaged $90, rose to
$103 for the intermediate group, and declined to $96 for the highest.
Differences in size of family at these three different levels resulted in
average unit clothing expenditure at the three levels of $26, $41, and
$49, respectively.
Home sewing .— That the custom of buying clothes ready to wear
extends to the Negroes studied is indicated by the overwhelming pro­
portion of total clothing expenditure going to purchase of ready-made
clothing, dry cleaning, and accessories. Expenditure for yard goods
and findings used for sewing garments at home averaged only $1.05
per family at the lowest level, rose to $1.69 at the next level, and
dropped to $0.84 at the highest. Paid help for sewing claimed a
very small proportion of the expenditure by Negro families, as was
the case with the white group, averaging only 14 cents per family at
the highest level.
Gifts o f clothing.

Gifts of clothing, if paid for from family funds and exchanged
within the economic family, were not recorded as gifts but simply as
clothing expenses of the family. When, however, gifts were received
from persons outside the family circle, an attempt was made to ascer­
tain their value. Sixteen percent of the families at the lowest eco­
nomic level, 24 percent at the intermediate level, and 16 percent at the
highest reported receiving such gifts. Their value as estimated by
the families averaged $1 at both the lowest and the highest level, but

as some of the families could not judge these values, they have not
been included, and the above figures do not give a complete account
of this item.
Clothing expenditures fo r men and hoys.

The limited number of persons aged less than 18 among the Negro
families studied bars comparison of average clothing expenditure of
boys in lower age groups at various economic levels. The adult men
and boys aged 18 years and over purchased clothing of an average
value of $23 per person at the lowest economic level, $33 per person
at the next level, and $45 at the highest level.

When their clothing expenditures are grouped according to general
type of item (see table 42), expenditures for outerwear and footwear
are found to constitute 80 percent for the group as a whole. Expend­
itures for outerwear at the highest levels take a distinctly larger pro­
portion of the total than at the low and intermediate levels. The
proportion spent for footwear, on the other hand, declined with rise
in economic plane. The proportions spent for headwear and for
miscellaneous items moved irregularly. The largest expense in the
group of miscellaneous items was for cleaning and repairing, for which
each man using such services averaged $1.43 at the lowest economic
level and $2.93 at the highest.
Clothing expenditures fo r women and girls.

Clothing expenditures for women and girls aged 18 years and over
averaged slightly less than those for men at the lowest and highest
levels, but were significantly larger at the intermediate level. They
were $22 at the lowest economic level, $37 at the next, and $42 at the
highest.

Classification of clothing expenditures by type of article indicates
that among Negro women and girls aged 18 years and over in the East
North Central region, outerwear and footwear together accounted for
78.6 percent of their total (table 43). Outerwear (coats, suits,
dresses, blouses, and sweaters) was the largest item of expense, with
an average of $15. Footwear (including shoes, rubbers, and hosiery),
representing an average expenditure of $11, was second; underwear,
with $3, came third; and miscellaneous items (including accessories)
and headwear, each averaging $2, tied for fourth. When classified by
economic level, footwear expenditures, while increasing in dollars,
claimed a decreasing proportion of the total. Expenditures for outer­
wear and miscellaneous items, on the other hand, took an increasing
proportion at the higher levels.

Other Groups of Items of Current Expenditure
In spite of the increase in dollar expenditures for recreation (see
table 45 and Tabular Summary, table 15) with rise in economic level,
the proportion of total expenditures designated for the varied items
classified under this category declined. At all planes of living in each
city, expenditures for tobacco were the largest, with newspapers
second. Admissions to movie houses accounted for the next item of
amusement. In the two cities combined, a larger percentage of fami­
lies owned radios at the highest than at the lowest economic level,
where 39.5 percent of the Negro families had them. (See table 44.)
The number of families purchasing radios increased from low to high
economic levels. However, the average price they paid increased
from $24 to $37 in Cincinnati, but decreased from $62 to $54 in
Indianapolis.

If it had been possible to segregate the amount of transportation
expense undertaken primarily for recreational purposes, the pattern
of such expenditures would perhaps have assumed a different appear­
ance. The percentage of total transportation expenditures devoted
to automobile purchase, maintenance, and care increased with rise in
economic level, although in each case it was less than that for white
families. The percentage for other forms of transportation declined.
(See tabular summary, table 13.) The average expenditure for au­
tomobile maintenance per family owning automobiles increased with
rise in economic level. Over half of such expenditures went for gaso­
line, with a fifth or less in Cincinnati for garage but none for this pur­
pose in Indianapolis. None of the Negro families surveyed in Cin­
cinnati purchased a new car during the schedule year, but two bought

second-hand cars at an average price of $114. In Indianapolis, at an
average price of $171, six second-hand cars were purchased.
Average expenditure per person for personal care increased from $3
to $9 in Cincinnati, and in Indianapolis from $4 at the lowest economic
level to $10 at the highest. (See tabular summary, table 14.)

The number of equivalent full-time persons per family in 1 week is computed on the basis of the num­
ber of persons eating meals at home during the week to which the data apply. If a person ate 21 meals
during the week, he was counted as a full-time person for that week. If he ate less than 21 meals, he wa§
counted as the appropriate decimal equivalent full-time person.
3 Less than 0.05 cent.
