Figures are also shown on housing facilities, the am oun t and kind of food, clothing, and housefurnishings purchased in the year of the S tu d y, and the types of m edical care received. T h e S tu d y was undertaken in 1 9 3 4 - 36 prim arily for the purpose of bringing u p -to -d a te the weights for the cost of living indexes currently published b y the Bureau. The N a tio n -w id e stu dy covers 42 cities of m ore than 5 0 ,0 0 0 population and it provides for the first tim e since 1919 a record of the changes th at h ave occurred in the consum ption habits of the wage-earner and clerical group in the interval. The Bureau of Labor Statistics study of the money disbursements of wage earners and clerical workers at the end of the W orld War was made at a time when the consumption habits of American workers were undergoing rapid changes. Silk stockings and other silk prod ucts had only recently come within range of the wage earner’s purse; rayon fabrics were still new in consumer use; the automobile was the luxury of a few workers; a large proportion of the wage earners were living in houses without electric lights and modern plumbing. Throughout the war, the Nation had been “ counting its calories” and believing that if everyone had enough of the energy-producing foods adequate nutrition would be achieved. Just about the end of the war period, however, long years of laboratory research in nutrition reached the stage where they could be used to state human require ments for minerals and vitamins, as well as for proteins and carbohy drates. This new information combined with certain economic factors to effect striking changes in American food-consumption habits. The data on consumer-purchasing habits in the wage-earner and clerical groups in the West North Central and Mountain region presented herewith show the goods now purchased by moderate income families in the large cities in this area. They should be of value to leaders of the labor movement, to business men interested IX X PR EFACE in planning production to fit demand, to civic leaders and to legislators, as well as in serving the specific purpose for which they were gathered. In Denver, the investigation was made in cooperation with the Bureau of Business and Social Research of the University of Denver and the Colorado Emergency Relief Administration. The St. Louis, Kansas City, and Minneapolis-St. Paul studies were made in coopera tion with the Works Progress Administration, and that in Salt Lake City in cooperation with the Utah Emergency Relief Administration. The investigation was furthered by the assistance of many officials in these organizations and from interested individuals and civic bodies too numerous to be mentioned here by name. In addition two groups must be recognized as having made the Study possible: The individual workers who performed the field collection and office tabulation of the data, often under unfavorable conditions, on a high plane of profes sional responsibility; and the housewives who laid aside their house hold tasks long enough to furnish answers to the detailed questions in the schedules. In the final analysis and preparation of this report, special contribu tions to problems of method were made by Jerome Cornfield, William S. Shelton, and Samuel E. Cohen. M ary C. Ruark was responsible for the final tabulations. Genevieve B. Wimsatt solved problems of analysis and prepared portions of the text and appendixes. Olive T. Kephart and Margaret Sawyer assisted in checking the table forms and preparation of text and appendixes. I sad or L u b in , C o m m is sio n e r o j L a b or S ta tistics. A p r il 1939. Bulletin 7\[o. 641 of the U nited States Bureau of Labor Statistics M oney Disbursements o f W ag e Earners and Clerical W ork ers in Five Cities in the W e st N orth CentraLM ountain Region, 1934-36 Introduction The data on actual family expenditures collected in the present study portray the levels at which employed wage earners and clerical workers are living at the present time in terms of their annual pur chases of goods and services. 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.1 The investigators who participated in the present study were sent, not to stores to price a predetermined list of goods and services, but to families who were willing to give the desired facts regarding income and expenditures. The differences shown between the figures on average family expenditures in the different cities covered reflect differences in the money incomes of the wage-earner and clerical groups in those communities, in consumption habits, and in family size and composition, as well as whatever differences there may be in price level. They do not measure differences in living costs as between communities. Although the primary purpose of the present investigation was to ascertain the actual level of living of workers’ families, some of the data obtained do afford a basis for evaluating the adequacy of the living of the families who cooperated in furnishing information for the investigation. The goods currently purchased by the families studied have not been compared in detail with the goods included by different agencies in budgets estimating the amounts needed for maintaining healthy family life. * Such a study has recently been completed by the Works Progress Administration, Division of Social Research, in cooperation with Retail Price Division of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In this survey prices were obtained in 59 cities covering the cost of items in budgets at two levels. These budgets comprised specific quantities of goods and services necessary for a maintenance level and an emergency level of living for a four-person family of a manual worker. Results of this study are published in a report of the Works Progress Administration entitled “ Intercity Differences in Costs of Living in March 1935 for 59 Cities” by Margaret Loomis Stecker, Washington, D . C., July 1937. 1 2 W ES T N O R TH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N 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 sometimes 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 the 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 publication 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 investigation was confined to the city limits in Denver, Salt Lake City, Kansas City, M o., and Kansas City, Kans. In Minneapolis-St. Paul and St. Louis, it was found that such a large proportion of the industrial population lived in the suburbs that the sample would not be representative without the inclusion of four surrounding areas for Minneapolis-St. Paul and ten surrounding areas for St. Louis.2 The data obtained from each family apply to twelve continuous months within the period 1 9 3 4 -3 6 .3 The data for Denver and Salt Lake City pertain principally to the year ending February 1935 and those for Kansas City, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and St. Louis principally to the year ending February 1936. The families studied in this investigation were chosen to represent a cross section of the families of employed wage earners and lowersalaried clerical workers employed in business and industry in each of the five cities 4 studied in the West North Central and Mountain region. In two of those cities, Kansas City and St. Louis, where the relative importance of Negroes in the population is considerable, Negro families were surveyed. The families to be interviewed were chosen by a random sampling method from the lists of employees on current personnel lists of em ployers also chosen at random.6 The limited funds available made it necessary to confine this investigation to the income levels most representative of employed wage earners and lower-salaried clerical 2See appendix B, p. 338. 3See appendix C, p. 341. * Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kans., are treated as one city with the schedules obtained divided between the two in the same proportion as were the total numbers of gainfully employed persons in the 1930 census. That is, 18 percent of the families scheduled lived in Kansas City, Kans., and 82 percent in Kansas City, Mo. Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., were likewise considered as one city, with 63 percent of the schedules taken from families in Minneapolis and 37 percent from those in St. Paul. 5 See appendix D, pp. 343-347. 3 IN T R O D U C T IO N workers, the groups for w hich the B u reau ’s cost-o f-liv in g indexes are co m p u ted .6 The follow ing criteria were used in the selection of fam ilies: 1. At least one wage earner or lower-salaried clerical worker who worked a minimum of 1,008 hours in 36 weeks, or 28 hours in each of 30 weeks, if employed in a distinctly seasonal industry such as the clothing and construction industries. 2. No income from direct relief or work relief at any time in the year covered by the schedule. 3. A minimum annual income during the schedule year of $500, of which at least $300 was earned by one person. 4. No clerical worker in the family who earned over $2,000 in the year covered by the schedule or $200 in any one month of that year. 5. Not over 25 percent of total income from sources other than earnings (such as rents, interest, or dividends). Net receipts from boarders and lodgers were treated as earnings. T h e group supplying the m aterial on w hich this report is based includes families of all types except single-person fam ilies.7 Because of lim itation of funds, the N a tion -w id e survey of wage earners and clerical workers was n ot enlarged to include a stu dy of the m oney disbursem ents of persons living alone, either as lodgers or as house holders. But the present stu dy in addition to covering families containing a husband and wife, also covers incom plete fam ilies of various types such as a w idow and her children. In this respect it differs from the in vestigation of fam ily expenditures conducted b y the Bureau of L ab o r Statistics in 1 9 1 7 -1 9 in these five cities, which was restricted to fam ilies havin g as a m in im u m “ a husband and wife and at least one child, who is n ot a boarder or lo d g er.” 8 Since families of two persons only constituted at least 24 percent of the fam ilies of tw o or m ore persons in each of the five cities according to the 1930 census, it was decided n ot to restrict the present investigation in this w ay. In the present stu d y a large percentage of the fam ilies from which data were obtained were of the types studied in the 1 9 1 7 -1 9 investigation. F or D en v er this percentage is 4 6 ; for K a n sas C ity , 5 2 ; in M in n ea p olis-S t. P au l, 5 6 ; in St. L ou is, 4 7 ; and in Salt L ak e C ity , 62. T h e types of fam ilies contributing to the present report and n ot in cluded in the 1 9 1 7 -1 9 stu d y are as follow s: Fam ilies of m an and wife 8 The importance of obtaining data on the consumer purchases of higher-salaried clerical workers, pro fessional workers, managers and officials, and those in business for themselves was generally recognized. Early in 1936 the Bureau of Labor Statistics undertook a Study of Consumer Purchases which covers all income groups in 32 different cities. Funds were allotted to the project by the Works Progress Administra tion. At the same time a coordinated study was undertaken by the Bureau of Home Economics in 66 farm counties, 140 villages and in 19 small cities. Both of these investigations were made in cooperation with the National Resources Committee and the Central Statistical Board. For cities covered in both investigations, see appendix B, p. 340. 7At the request of the Emergency Relief Board in Philadelphia, the Bureau of Labor Statistics undertook a study of the incomes and money disbursements of employed wage earners and clerical workers living as single individuals in that city in the year 1934-35. The results of that investigation will be published in a subsequent report. 8L . S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Cost of Living in the United States.

In order to facilitate com parison w ith the earlier stu d y , a special su m m ary of the incom e and expenditure data from fam ilies of the ty p e studied for 1 9 1 7 -1 9 is presented in this bulletin. T h e fu ndam ental tabulations h ave been m ade in such a w ay th a t it will be possible to stu d y separately the details of the expenditures of fam ilies of given typ es, should occasion arise. I t should be noted th at the plan for the investigation did n ot provide for holding constant size of fam ily at each incom e level. In any random sam ple of the population or of any occupational group, size of fa m ily varies from incom e level to incom e level. Since the averages presented in this report are based upon the actual expenditures of a random sam ple of fam ilies of the wage-earner and clerical groups, these differences in size of fa m ily m u st be taken into account wherever com parisons are m ade betw een the spending of fam ilies at different incom e levels. Part I.— W hite Families 5 Chapter 1 Income Level and M oney Disbursements Fam ily Income T h e occupations of the chief earners in the 1,767 white fam ilies cooperating in the investigation varied as w idely as the types of business and industry which characterize the cities between the M ississippi and M issou ri R ivers and the R o c k y M o u n ta in s. In each of the five cities, the families studied included persons working in manufacturing industries, wholesale and retail trade, transportation and communication, building construction, public employment, hotels and restaurants, banking, insurance, and real estate houses, garages and filling stations, laundries and other service establishments, and places of amusement. No family in which the chief earner was in domestic service was included, although a family was eligible for scheduling if subsidiary earners were domestic servants. Manufacturing industries employed the chief earner in almost half of the families studied in St. Louis. The individual industrial groups represented most frequently were the clothing industries, food and allied industries, leather industries, and iron and steel industries. In Kansas City and Minneapolis-St. Paul, manufacturing occupations claimed approximately one-third of the chief earners. In Kansas City, the individual industrial groups most frequently represented were meat packing, other food and allied industries, and automobile factories and repair shops; in Minneapolis-St. Paul, these positions were held by the food and allied industries, iron and steel, and auto mobile manufacturing and repairing establishments, paper, printing and allied industries, and the clothing industries. In Denver and Salt Lake City, the proportions of the total sample drawn from manu facturing industries were smaller, with food and allied industries and iron and steel constituting the largest individual manufacturing groups. Wholesale and retail trade furnished the second greatest volume of employment after manufacturing, and accounted for one-fifth to onefourth of the chief earners in the samples in each of the five cities. Occupations in the field of transportation and communication, such as street and steam railways, auto-bus lines, and in telephone and telegraph offices were followed by the next greatest number of chief earners, about one-sixth of the total in each city.

All five cities are important distribution centers for the huge agri cultural areas in the W est North Central and Mountain States, and the proportion of clerical workers drawn in the sample in these cities is relatively high as compared with those drawn in most of the cities covered in the other areas. In Denver and Salt Lake City, the chief earner in the family was found to be a clerical worker in 48 percent of the cases. In Kansas City and Minneapolis-St. Paul, in 34 percent of the families studied, the chief earner was a clerical worker; in St. Louis, in 29 percent. In the wage-earner group, families of semiskilled workers were most numerous, with those of skilled workers next in order, and those of unskilled workers least numerous. In time of full employment, the proportion of wage earners would have been somewhat larger. Other reports 1 have shown that wage earners have suffered from irregularity of employment and low earn ings more than clerical workers in the period since 1929, and that consequently more of them have been on relief. Since the present study .excluded families below certain levels of employment and income, and families having been on relief during the year prior to the interview by the field worker, the proportion of clerical workers is larger than it would have been had the Study been made in 1929. The type of work secured by the family's chief earner was not by any means the final factor in determining its income. The number of earners in the family, their ability and skill, and the regularity with which they found employment were almost equally important in determining the total family income.2 Net money income per white family studied averaged about $1,550 in St. Louis and Minneapolis-St. Paul, $1,510 in Denver, $1,443 in Kansas City, and $1,332 in Salt Lake City.3 T o ascertain whether 1For example, Urban Workers on Relief, vol.

In most cases, the members of an economic family were related by ties of blood, marriage, or adoption but in some cases, an unrelated person was found to share income and family living. Persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption were not treated as members of the economic family if they lived in the household as boarders and kept their funds separate from family funds, unless they gave a complete record of their incomes and expenditures. Persons who were members of the economic family for an entire year were not necessarily members of the household for the year. A member sup ported by the family in school, college, or hospital for all or part of the year, or a member working away for that period would be treated as a member of the economic family but not of the household for the entire year. In computing the number of persons who were part of the economic family for a year, the number of weeks each member had shared his income with the family was listed, the numbers summed, and the total divided by 62. This procedure yielded the number of equivalent persons who had made up the family for 1 year. 3Details on the family income when families are sorted by economic level are found in the Tabular Sum mary, table 2, and when families are sorted by income level, in the Tabular Summary, table 6.

It was found that the differ ences among average incomes found in these five cities are statistically significant. The relatively low average income of the group drawn in the sample for Salt Lake City reflects the depression in business condi tions in this city in the year covered by the investigation.5 Among the groups studied in all five cities, the distribution of families at the upper end of the income scale was scattered, and in each city the middle point in the income distribution was below the figure representing the arithmetic average (table 1). When the families studied were arranged according to income, it was found that half of those studied in Denver had incomes under $1,500; in Kansas City half had incomes under $1,398; in Minneapolis and St. Paul, under $1,448; in St. Louis, under $1,529; and in Salt Lake City, under $1,273.

In each city, these maximum family incomes were reported by families in which several persons contributed to the family purse. In Denver, the $3,000 family income was that of a 4R. A. Fisher’s method for the analysis of variance as exemplified in intraclass correlation (discussed on pp. 226 and 227 of his Statistical Methods for Research Workers, 6th ed., London, 1936) was used to test whether the mean incomes obtained in the several cities differed more than could be expected if successive samples had been drawn at random from the same population. 5The percentage of families on relief furnishes another indication of business conditions in the five cities. The proportion receiving relief at some time during the year included in the data was considerably higher in Salt Lake City than in the other cities studied in this area. See p. 23, footnote 8. 6In Denver, Minneapolis-St. Paul, or Salt Lake City no incomes under $600 were discovered in the sam pling process among families meeting the employment requirements for the group to be included in the, investigation and not having been on relief at any time during the year. 10 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N widow who was employed as a clerk-typist; her daughter, a secretarystenographer; and the daughter’s son, a boy in school. The Kansas City family reporting a total annual income of $4,472 was composed of a man 55 years old, his wife, their sons, and a daughter. The father was an order clerk in a foods plant, the sons were a bus driver and a truck driver, and the daughter an office clerk. In Minneapolis there was found the family with the highest income in any of the cities included in this bulletin, $5,167, that of a widow of 54 and her nine children, five of whom were employed in clerical work. The family with an income of $4,167 in St. Louis also had five earners. The father, a man of 61, was a truck driver; two sons were skilled workers, a typesetter and a carpenter; one daughter was a binder and another a checker, while the mother and 3 younger children were not gainfully employed. In Salt Lake City, the maximum income was reported by a family with six members, all of them working at some time during the year, a bookkeeper, a canvasser, two stenographers, a traffic clerk, and a filing clerk. As the plan for the investigation called for the exclusion from the sample of any families receiving more than 25 percent of their incomes from sources other than earnings, the largest single item in the in comes of the workers’ families studied was earnings. Average earn ings per family of all individuals contributing ranged from $1,290 in Salt Lake City to $1,501 in Minneapolis-St. Paul (table 2). Average net earnings from boarders and lodgers ranged from $6 in Salt Lake City to $28 in St. Louis.

The relationship between family income and number of contribu tors to the family purse suggested by the foregoing family descriptions is confirmed by other data from the investigation. Figures on the average number of earners per family at each income level indicate that, for the occupational groups covered in this investigation, larger incomes are quite as likely to be the results of an increase in the number of earners in the family as of higher earnings on the part of the chief earner of the family. Earnings of the chief earner at the lowest income level (i. e., families receiving from $500 to $900) were on the average between $707 and $799 in the five cities. It will be seen from table 3 following that the average earnings of the chief earner as a proportion of total family income remained relatively stable with a slightly decreasing trend, from the lowest income levels to the $1,800 to $2,100 level. Thereafter, the proportion contributed by the chief earner fell sharply below the approximately 90 percent which they constituted in this income group, dropping below 70 per cent in the income group over $2,400. This decline was accounted for by the sharp increase in earnings of supplementary 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. In some cases, however, less than $900 of family income was produced by a family in which two persons reported employment at some time during the year; in fact, in all five cities one out of every four or five families with incomes of less than $900 had several gainful workers. The proportion of families with more than one earner does not increase markedly within the family income range from $900 to $1,800 or $2,100. In general, one out of each three or four such families has more than one earner. Within this range, the family income depends upon the size of the individual incomes. However, the opportunities for individual earnings of more than $2,100 are so limited among wage earners7 that family incomes of more than this amount depend primarily upon the presence of several earners. Thus, in each city, at least three out of four of the families that had incomes of more than $2,100 achieved this level because of the presence of two or more earners in the family (see table 3). 7 It should be noted that families of clerical workers earning more than $2,000 were not included in the sample (see appendix D, p. 349). 12 WEST NORTH CENTRAL-MOUNTAIN REGION T a b l e 3 . — S o u rces o f f a m i l y in co m e am ong wage earners and low er-sa laried clerical workers at successive in co m e levels in 1 yea r during the p eriod 1 9 8 4 - 8 6 W H IT E FAMILIES Percentage of income from — Average Average number Earnings Number net of gainful Earnings of sup of families money workers Other of chief plemen income 1 per fam souices 4 earner tary ily 2 earners 3 Income class D enver All families_________ ______ __ ___ Families with annual net income of— $600 « to $900_________________________ $900 to $1,200_________________________ $1,200 to $1,500_______________________ $1,500 to $1,800_______________________ $1,800 to $2,100_______________________ $2,100 to $2,400_______________________ $2,400 and over_______________ ______ 295 $1, 510 21 793 1, 061 1,331 1, 626 1, 906 2, 219 2,709 65 59 57 72 12 9 1.29 1.24 1.20 1.32 1.42 1.11 89.0 90.4 93.3 93.0 88.6 93.3 8.3 2.7 6.6 3.0 5.5 5.7 10.5 3.0 1.2 1.3 .9 3.7 1.80 1.89 66.0 66.8 22.0 31.6 12.0 1.6 1.0 K a n sa s C it y All families______ _ . _______________ _ Families with annual net income of— $500 to $900__________________________ $900 to $1,200_________________________ $1,200 to $1,500_______________________ $1,500 to $1,800_______________________ $1,800 to $2,100_______________________ $2,100 to $2,400_______________________ $2,400 and over_________________ ____ 357 $1,443 1.33 88.8 10.2 35 85 91 76 41 15 14 757 1,055 1,353 1, 656 1,919 2, 228 2, 690 1. 20 1.23 1.32 93.4 95.4 92.2 88.3 91.9 73.4 68.0 2.9 3.9 8.7 10.3 6.5 23.0 31.0 1.10 1.66 1.93 1.78 3.7 .7 («) 1.4 1.6 3.6 1.0 M in n e ap o lis -S t .

The data secured in all the cities covered by this investigation show that in spite of the decline in food prices which occurred between 1925 and 1934, expenditures for food continue to hold the central place in the spending pattern of moderate income families. (See Tabular Summary, table 3.) In all the groups studied, it has been found that the money spent for food accounts for a larger proportion of total current expenditures than any other item. 8 Throughout the report the term “ current expenditures” is used to mean expenditures for ultimate consumer goods, including relatively durable consumption goods. Interest on money borrowed for family use has been included in such expenditures, but savings and investments have not. The time and funds available for the investigation have not made possible the presentation of separate totals distinguishing expenditures for the more slowly consumed, as distinguished from quickly consumed goods. Indeed, the data on depreciation rates for relatively durable consumer goods are so fragmentary that it would be ex tremely difficult to do so. Expenditures for such durable goods as automobiles, mechanical refrigerators, and other furnishings and equipment have been classified with expenditures for food and carfare and other quickly consumed goods as “ current expenditures” while money spent for permanent improvements on owned homes and other real estate or as payment on the principal of mortgages has been classified as savings. The total cost of consumer goods purchased on credit was included in current expenditures and the amount of the obligations outstanding at the end of the year was taken into account when computing changes in liabilities over the 12-month period.

W ith in the range of incom es studied, at all bu t the low est income levels, average fam ily expenditures for transportation (includ ing expenditure for autom obile purchase and operation) are higher than those for clothing. T h is relatively greater im portance of transportation as com pared w ith clothing coincides w ith the findings for the Pacific region in San F rancisco-O akland and for the E a st N o rth Central region in D etro it. in the N o rth A tla n tic region and the South It is in contrast w ith the situation (N ew Y ork C ity and P hiladelphia) (B altim ore) where expenditures for transportation were definitely below those for clothing. E v id e n tly the lesser d ensity of population in the W e s t, together w ith the large distances betw een centers, has contributed to a m ore widespread use of the autom obile in those areas both as a m eans of recreation and as a necessary m eans of locom otion.

Variation in money disbursements. F or m a n y reasons of taste, h abit, or circum stances peculiar to a given year or to a given fam ily situation, the expenditures of a particu lar fam ily for a certain item or group of item s m a y deviate considerably from the average for a large group of fam ilies. T h u s a fa m ily which experienced a serious illness of the principal earner m igh t be obliged to incur m edical and perhaps hospital expenses and possibly to defer purchases of clothing and recreational item s and p aym en ts on back d e b ts; a fa m ily w ith a gifted child m igh t m ak e considerable sacrifices of clothing, transportation, and even food in order to provide special lessons in the hope of an artistic career for the ch ild; the you n g couple recently married will p robably spend m u ch m ore for furniture and equipm ent than an older couple w ith the sam e in co m e; a fam ily w ith dependent relatives m u st m ake larger contributions to persons outside the econom ic fam ily than one whose relatives are m ore fortu n ately 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. B ecause of differences of fam ily incom e and size, as well as for the reasons cited, the average expenditure of all fam ilies covered has only a lim ited significance. T h is is m ore true for certain categories of expenditure, where purchases tend to be relatively infrequent and of large m agnitu de when they do occur, than for other categories. D a ta presented in table 2 4 A of the T ab u lar S u m m ary show the extent to which the expenditures of individual fam ilies vary from the average in each city. IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY 21 D IS B U R S E M E N T S T h o u g h the m easures of v a r ia tio n 9 are n ot identical from city to city for given categories of expenditure, th ey are sufficiently similar to reveal distinct patterns of variation for different types of expendi tures. T here is relatively less variation in food and housing ex penditures than in any other item of the fa m ily budget. There is a higher degree of variability in expenditures for housing in Salt L ake C ity than in the other 4 com m unities, am ong the highest found in any of the 42 cities in the N a tio n -w id e stu dy . T h is is p robably due in part to the lower average incom e and in part to the larger pro portion of fam ilies w ith m ore than two children in th at co m m u n ity , and the subsequent pressure upon fam ily resources. T h e n ext group of item s, personal care, clothing, recreation, and household operation other than fuel, light, and refrigeration, are approxim ately twice as variable as those for food and housing. R ela tiv ely the greatest variability, three or m ore tim es as m u ch as for food expenditures, occurs in expenditures for furnishings and equipm en t, transportation, m edical care, gifts and contributions, and m iscellaneous item s. The variability in savings and in deficits for fam ilies ending the year in such positions respectively ranks along w ith th at for transportation and other item s in the third m o st variable group of expenditure item s. T h e very listing of the above groups of item s suggests the probable reasons for the striking differences in variability for certain categories. F ood and housing, m a jo r item s in the fa m ily b udget, m u st be pur chased regularly b y all fam ilies and, w ithin the incom e and occupa tional range of this stu dy, extrem ely wide variations are n ot to be expected. A t the opposite extrem e, m a n y item s of furnishings and equipm ent are purchased b y relatively few fam ilies in an y one year, and such outlays wiien m ade in volve com paratively h ea v y expendi tures. T h e great irregularity in transportation expenditures is due in large part to the m aterial differences in such expenditures of fam ilies w ith and w ithou t autom obiles. M ed ica l care expenditures reflect differences in em ergency situations encountered during the year b y individual fam ilies. E v en at the sam e incom e level, it is hardly to be expected th at any two fam ilies will spend their funds in exactly the sam e w ay. The significance of the various averages presented— the extent to which fam ilies tend to conform to the average pattern— is shown b y incom e levels for the city of M in n ea p olis-S t.

The measure is in percentage terms, i. e., is independent of the size of the average. For fuller statement, see appendix A , note on tables 24A and 24 B, p. 335. In the textual discussion, the terms variation, measure of variation, degree of variation, variability, etc., should be understood always to refer to coefficients of variation as set forth in tables 24A and 24B of the Tabular Summary. 10 Measures of variation for families of separate types by income level were computed for families studied in New York City (see B. L. S. Bulletin 637, vol. I, Tabular Summary, table 24). Funds were not available for similar computations for other regions. 22 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N variation in the expenditures of families in any given incom e class than there is in the expenditures of the city group as a whole. T here is a general tendency for the variation in expenditures to be less at the high incom e levels than a t the lo w .11 true of clothing, furnishings, and deficits. T h is is especially I t is som ew hat less strik in gly true for m edical care and personal care. On the other hand, there is no clearly discernible direction of change in variation in ex penditures for food, housing, household operation, transportation, recreation, gifts and contributions, or surplus at higher in com e levels. T hese tendencies agree, in general, w ith those found in cities in other regions for which variations in expenditures b y incom e level were com puted. W h e n the findings for seven cities in six different regions are com pared, it is found th at there was a significant decrease in variability at higher incom e levels in expenditures for clothing, fur nishings and equipm ent, and m edical care. F or other item s of expend iture and for surplus and deficit, no significant decline was found. T h e higher relative variations in expenditures for several categories at the lower incom e levels suggests the close pressure of these narrow m argins of fa m ily incom e. F or a low -incom e fam ily, an em ergency or unusual expenditure for m edical care, furnishings, or autom obile was apt to m ean a sharp corresponding trim m ing in the others, so th at individual fam ilies studied spent anywhere from zero to rather large am ounts for som e of these item s. T heir incom es were n ot large enough to perm it th em to allocate their resources regularly from year to year in about the sam e proportions for these various fam ily requirem ents, b u t rather th ey stretched their dollars as best th ey m igh t. F or the higher incom e fam ilies, on the contrary, the sm aller rela tive variability in several categories of expenditures indicates th at it was possible for these fam ilies to work out a m ore consistent pattern of expenditure. Such drastic rearrangem ents in their budgets were n ot required even should an em ergency expenditure arise. T hey were m ore nearly able to plan regular replacem ents of item s of cloth ing and furnishings, to m ake regular as well as em ergency expenditures for m edical care, and to plan definite expenditure for personal care. T h e y were also less apt to find it necessary to incur deficits of w idely differing am ounts. 11 In part, this is due to the fact that the income bands are proportionately wider at the lower levels. Thus a $2,400 income is 13 percent higher than a $2,100 income, while a $1,200 income is 33 percent higher than one of $900. It follows, even if variations in expenditures for clothing were exclusively due to differ ences in income, that in terms of percentages there would be less variation in clothing expenditures among families with incomes of $2,100 to $2,400 than among those with incomes of $900 to $1,200. IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY 23 D IS B U R S E M E N T S Income Levels and Planes o f L ivin g Size and composition of family . Since the amount of the family income and the number of persons in the family are almost equally important in determining the way that income is spent, it becomes of crucial importance to understand the family types which predominate at each income level among the families studied. The median size of family in these five cities as shown by the census of 1930 was slightly under the median size of family for all cities in the country, 4 .0 persons. The average size of the families studied in each city sample in this region, while below the median size for urban families in the country as a whole, was slightly above the median size of family for that city as shown by the census. The comparable figures are as follows: For Denver, an average of 3 .14 persons per family for the sample as against a median as shown by the census of 3 .1 0 ; for Kansas City, 3 .3 7 against 3 .1 7 ; for Minneapolis-St. Paul, 3.51 against 3 .4 1 ; for St. Louis, 3.48 against 3 .2 7 ; and for Salt Lake City, where the largest families found in this region occurred, 3.81 against 3 .6 8 .12 In four of the cities studied— D en v er, K a n sas C ity , M inneapolisSt. Paul, and S t. L ouis— approxim ately one-half studied had no children under 16 years of age. of the families O f this group w ith ou t you n g children approxim ately h alf were fam ilies consisting of h usband and wife o n ly ; slightly over a fourth were fam ilies of husband, wife, sons and daughters, or other fam ily m em bers over 16 years o ld ; and a lm ost a fourth were econom ic fa m ilie s13 com posed of adults n ot including a husband and wife. T h is last group was m ade up of a great variety of fa m ily ty p es; widows or widowers w ith children over 16 years old, or brothers and sisters uniting their econom ic resources, were the m o st frequent. T h e proportion of fam ilies in Salt L ak e C ity havin g children under 16 was m uch larger than for the other four cities, since out of a total of 210 fam ilies only 73 reported no children under 16. T hese 73 fam ilies were distributed am ong the fa m ily types listed above as 12If the investigation had been extended to families on relief, the average size of family would have been somewhat larger. In the period covered by the schedules secured in Denver, the number of families on the relief rolls was at its height in February 1935. Figures from the records of the Division of Social Research, Works Progress Administration show the number of white families including two or more persons on relief in the city at that time to have been 11,200 or 16.2 percent of the number of such families in Denver in 1930. The average size of these families on relief was 3.9 persons. During the period of the scheduling, the number of families on relief in Kansas City reached a peak of 9,500 families in May 1935, which constituted 8.3 per cent of white families in Kansas City in 1930. The average size of these 9,500 families was 3.8. The maxi mum number of families on relief during the period of the investigation in Minneapolis-St. Paul occurred in May 1935, when 15,000 or 8.8 percent of families living in Minneapolis-St. Paul in 1930 received such aid. An average of 3.8 persons were in these needy families. During the same month, St. Louis experienced its greatest relief load 19,600 families of an average size of 4.0 persons. This figure constituted 11.0 percent of all families in St. Louis in 1930. Eight thousand four hundred families, averaging 4.2 persons per family, were given relief in Salt Lake City in February 1935, or 19.8 percent of white families living there in 1930. 13See footnote 2, p. 8. 5 3 9 5 7 °— 39------ 3 24 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N follow s: 35 were fam ilies of h usband and wife o n ly, 21 were fam ilies including husband and wife, and sons and daughters, or other fam ily m em bers over 16 years of age, and 17 were fam ilies of adults n ot including m an and wife.

(See table 4 and fig. 4 .) In the higher incom e brackets, the groups studied were, in general, m atu rin g fam ilies in which there were few you n g children, and an increasing num ber of sons, daughters, or w ives who were able to enter the labor m arket. I t has already been indicated th at am ong fam ilies of wage earners and clerical workers, increases in fam ily incom e are largely dependent on the num ber of em ployable persons m aking up the fam ily group. W h e n the fam ilies studied are sorted b y fa m ily incom e, the n um ber of persons over 16 years of age is found to be con siderably larger at the higher incom e levels than at the lower ones. T a b le 5 of the T ab u la r Su m m ary shows, for each city covered in the IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY D IS B U R S E M E N T S 25 West North Central-Mountain region, the size of family at different income levels and the trend toward increase in the number of persons 16 years of age and over with increases in income. The trend in the number of children per family is less regular than the trend in the number of other persons. In St. Louis the number of children per family varies with increase in income. A maximum of slightly more than one child is shown at the $1,500 to $1,800 group. In Denver at each income group families averaged fewer than one child less than 16 years old, while in Salt Lake City, with the exception of the lowest income group, families at each income class averaged more than one child, and in the $1,500 to $1,800 income class the number of children averaged 1.74. In Minneapolis-St. Paul and in Kansas City, the average number of children per family fluctuates with great irregularity from one income class to another, but the average at any one level never exceeds 1.33 in the former city, nor 1.20 in the latter. Planes o f livin g determ ined by fam ily size as well as incom e . 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 the size of the income. Since average size of family is larger at the higher income levels, it is im possible to assume that the plane of living of the families in successive income classes is proportional to their incomes. An examination of the types of families represented at each income level makes it evident that in any one income class there are included families with very different planes of living, the differences depending on the composi tion of the family to be supported with the given income. For example, among the 504 families surveyed in Minneapolis and St. Paul, there were 111 with incomes ranging from $1,500 to $1,800; of these 23 were families of husband and wife only, 16 of husband and wife and 1 child under 16 years of age, 14 including husband and wife and 1 person 16 years of age or older; and 3 families of other types including 2 or 3 persons, making a total of 56 families of not more than 3 persons living in relative comfort with incomes averaging about $1,650. In the same income class there were 55 families of 4 or more persons whose expenditures were definitely more restricted, depend ing on the number and the age of the persons in the family, and whose 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 de termine 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 26 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N money available for family living, but, also, the composition of the family for which it is spent. The process of classifying families ac cording 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 the family during half the year. This family is regarded as consisting of 6 % full-time equiva lent persons in the family. 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 1% years old. This is a four-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 avail able 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 per capita 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 customary 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 indicate that the first family consisted of the equivalent of 5.5 adult males in the family for the full year. This unit will be subsequently referred to in the present study as a “ foodexpenditure unit.” The second family consisted of 2.9 food-expendi ture units. The first family spent $580 per year for food, or the equiva lent of $105 per food-expenditure unit. The second family spent $500, a substantially smaller proportion of its total income, but which amounted to $172 per food-expenditure unit. (See appendix G, pp. 376 and 377.) Finally, in connection with clothing, it has been possible as a result of this study to derive a scale 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 clothing-expenditure 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 was 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, $243 per expenditure unit. The smaller family, which IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY D IS B U R S E M E N T S 27 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 expenditure per unit 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. (See appendix G, pp. 376-381 and sample code sheet, p. 382.) The relationship between expenditures and the size and composi tion of families at successive income levels will be seen more clearly from table 4 which presents data by income level for the white fami lies covered in the investigation. The average family expenditure at the highest income level shown for Minneapolis-St. Paul was more than four times the average family expenditure at the lowest income level, but the amount spent per expenditure unit at the highest income level was not quite twice the amount at the lowest income level.

Equivalence betw een total expenditures and econom ic levels . In subsequent discussions in this bulletin, expenditures will be analyzed by economic level. Econom ic levels among the white families are distinguished in $100 intervals from annual expenditures of $200 per expenditure unit to those of $1,000 and over. Since most discussions of expenditures have been based upon differences 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 5.7 expenditure units, while the second family consists of 3 .3 6 or approximately 3.4 expenditure units. The $250 economic level for the first family implies total annual expenditures, then, of $ 1 ,4 2 5 and the $650 level for the same family, total expenditures of $ 3 ,7 0 5 . The equivalence is shown in the following table: T able 5. — T otal f a m i l y ex pen d itu re equivalents f o r fa m ilie s o f 8 d ifferent typ es at given econ om ic levels Economic level Family of 5.7 (amount spent per expenditure expenditure units unit) 1 $150 250 350 450 550 650 1 2 $855 1,425 1,995 2, 565 3,135 3,705 Family of 3.4 expenditure units Family of 1.9 expenditure units $510 850 1,190 1,530 1,870 $285 475 665 855 1,045 1, 235 2 2,210 3 6 Family consisted of a man, 40, working as a machine operator; his wife, 38; two sons, aged 15 and ; and two daughters, aged and .

At the lower spending 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 much nearer together as far as spending patterns are concerned than two families with the same money income, one of husband and wife only, the other including several children. There are striking declines in the pro portion of total expenditures going to food with rise in the economic levels of the family, less rapid declines in expenditures for housing, fuel, light, and refrigeration combined, and a slight rise in the percent age spent for clothing. E xpenditures at tw o econom ic levels . The difference in the average size of the families at low and high spending levels, their average income and expenditures, is well illus trated by data from Denver, shown in figure 5. The families at the lowest expenditure level shown averaged 4.84 persons, and devoted 38.9 percent of their total outlay to food, one quarter to housing, fuel, light, and refrigeration, thus having only 36 percent left for clothing, other items of household operation, transportation, recreation, medical and personal care, and the other items which must be pur chased in an urban community. The families at the higher expend iture level averaged approximately 2% persons per family. They spent almost two times as much for food per expenditure unit as the larger families at the lower level, but their total outlay for food repre sented only 29.7 percent of their total expenditure. Their expendi tures for housing, fuel, light, and refrigeration amounted to $130 per person as compared with $58 per person at the lowest level, but the percentage of the total devoted to housing at the highest level was only 21.3 percent. The families at the highest level thus had almost 50 percent of their total expenditures yet to plan after food, housing, heat, light, and refrigeration had been paid for. Expenditures having the lowest ranks, as education, vocation, and other items, retain about the same relative importance among families spending between $200 and $300 per expenditure unit per year as among families spending between $600 and $700. The relatively small expenditure for formal education at the upper expenditure level is explained by the type of families found at this level in each of the cities. These families averaged only slightly more than 2 persons. IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY D IS B U R S E M E N T S 31 Fig. 5.

Quite as striking as change in the distribution of expenditures from the lowest to the highest economic level are the differences in the size of the families at the two levels and their income and earnings. From table 7 it is evident that a high plane of living results as much from small size of family as from large income. If families at the lowest economic level shown on the chart for Denver were to enjoy the same consumer goods and services per expenditure unit as do the families at the highest economic level they would have needed an income of $3,151.

A comparison of the distribution of total family expenditures at low and high economic levels 14 (table 8) 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 in each of the five cities in the West North Central-Mountain region. One of the greatest single shifts in the purchases of the white families in any of the five cities occurs in Minneapolis-St. Paul in the proportion of total funds spent for the purchase, operation, and upkeep of automo biles and motorcycles which rises four ranks to achieve fourth place, its position in each city at the highest economic level. On the con trary, expenditures for transportation other than automobile de crease in rank in four cities and retain the same rank at both economic levels in the fifth city. Expenditures for furnishings and equipment undergo the second greatest change in relative rank from low to high u Economic levels are defined by the amount of money spent per family per expenditure unit per year.

Changes in Assets and Liabilities 15 The proportion of the white families studied in the West North Central-Mountain region reporting net surpluses for the year of current income over current expenditures varied from 52 percent in Salt Lake City to 65 percent in Denver. Among those families which spent less than their money incomes for current living, the average amount of is For purposes of this study changes in assets and liabilities are computed on the basis of changes which occurred as the result of the 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 more detailed explanation, see appen dix A, notes on tables 2, 4, and 5, pp. 324, 325, and 326. 34 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N surplus per family ranged from $133 in Salt Lake City to $191 in Denver. (See table 9.) 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 borrowing during the schedule year varied from 26 percent in Denver to 45 percent for the families studied in Salt Lake City. The average deficit per family in this situation was $152 in Salt Lake City and $198 in Denver. The small proportion of families not reported in either of the above categories reported incomes just balancing current expenditure. When all families in each city are treated as a unit, there is a small average net surplus ranging from $1 per family in Salt Lake City to $73 in Denver. In other words, there were aggregate surpluses large enough to outweigh the aggregate deficits, with a resultant positive net change in assets and liabilities for all families combined.16 In considering the relatively large proportion of families sustaining deficits over the year covered by the Study, 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 income among wage earners and clerical workers. Half the families studied in Denver had incomes less than $1,500; in Kansas City the midpoint was reached at $1,398; in Minneapolis-St. Paul at $1,448, in St. Louis at $1,529, and in Salt Lake City at $1,273. The purchase of a new living room suite, for example, by a family at any one of these income levels, or of a new electric refrigerator, must inevitably be financed in part by some means outside 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 of current expendi tures over current income in the particular year in which the extraor dinary occasional purchase is made. There are, in addition, the extraordinary emergency expenditures which must be financed outside current incom e; accidents, other illness, funerals, and weddings put a strain on the family purse which must, in a majority of cases, be met by deficit financing. Under normal circumstances it might be expected that exceptional outlays made in any one year by some families would balance accu mulations made by other families either in reducing the liabilities incurred for the expenditures of previous years, or in anticipation of later withdrawals from savings. In studying the data on changes in the assets and liabilities of the families covered in the present investigation it is important to keep is The figures just cited have been computed from the families’ own statements about changes in their assets and liabilities and do not represent a balancing difference between reported incomes and reported current expenditures. (See appendix A, pp. 321, 322, and 325.) Most families were not able to present a statement of total receipts and total disbursements which balanced exactly. No schedule was accepted for use from a family which could not supply a statement of total receipts and total disbursements which balanced within 5 percent. IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY D IS B U R S E M E N T S 35 in mind the setting of the period in which this survey was 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. M ost low and moderate income families had postponed, insofar as possible, all expenditures for furniture and durable equipment. It would appear that a number of them had managed even during the worst days of the depression to conserve small amounts of their past savings or their current income. B y 1934, and more particularly by 1935, anxiety with reference to the future was somewhat relieved, especially in the case of the group of families covered by this investigation. Families without relatively steady employment and families on relief at any time during the year prior to the interview by the field agent were excluded from the survey. A t least one earner in every family included in this study had had employment for the greater part of the year and it is natural to find them buying with a certain amount of optimism to make up for the enforced economies of the immediate past. When the families are classified by income, it appears that the income level at which aggregate savings exceeded aggregate deficits varied somewhat from city to city. (See Tabular Summary, table 5.) In Denver and St. Louis, among families with incomes below $1,200, although some families were able to make savings, they were more than outweighed by the larger amount of the deficits. Above that income level in those cities, the surpluses outweighed the deficits, with the net surplus for all families combined rising steadily from lower to higher income levels. In Kansas City, the turning point came at the $900 income level; in Minneapolis-St. Paul, not until incomes averaged $1,500 or more; and in Salt Lake City, where the average family size of the group is 10 percent larger than that found in each of the other cities, not until they averaged $1,800, though the group with incomes between $1,200 and $1,500 had a net surplus. The general pattern is the same in all cities, however, with large average net deficits at the lowest income levels decreasing pro gressively with increases in family income until the turning point is reached, after which, at each successive income level, there is an average surplus for all families, the surplus growing larger at the higher income levels. In a few instances the pattern is slightly irreg ular, but such variations of the usual trend are accounted for in most instances by a few families; on the one hand, those which faced situations of sickness or other emergency making necessary unusually heavy borrowing, and on the other hand, those which placed unusual limitations on their current expenditures to meet special situations such as the down payment on an owned home, or the sum necessary to pay off debts accumulated in the previous years. Had it been possible to include larger numbers of families in the sample, these fluctuations in the general trend would probably not have occurred. 36 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N W h e n fam ilies are classified b y detailed econom ic level (see T abu lar S u m m ary, table 2 ), the patterns are less regular. In general, there appears a tendency for the n et change in assets and liabilities to be positive (an average surplus for all fam ilies) a t the lower econom ic levels, and negative econom ic levels. (an average deficit for all fam ilies) at higher I t is obviou s th at there are at every level individual fam ilies w ith deficits and others w ith surpluses, b u t the average result for all fam ilies reveals a pattern o f the general nature indicated above. W ith in this general trend there are, in individual cities, con siderable irregularities which are n o ta b ly decreased when the fam ilies are grouped at three econom ic levels. 19.) (See T ab u la r S u m m ary, table I t will be seen from table 9 th at in four out of the five cities the percentage of fam ilies com pleting the year w ith a n et deficit was higher in the group spending $60 0 per expenditure unit than in the group spending less than $ 400, and th at the am oun t of surplus per fa m ily havin g a surplus as well as the am ou n t of deficit per fa m ily h avin g deficit increased su bstan tially from low levels. to high econom ic In three cities studied in this region the n et change for all fam ilies at the highest econom ic level shown in table 9 was a deficit, while in the two other cities it was a sm aller average surplus than reported b y fam ilies at the n ext lower econom ic level. T h e general reversal of the pattern of changes in assets and lia bilities when fam ilies are classified b y econom ic level rather than by incom e level is due in part to the very nature of the sort b y am oun t spent for current expenditure per expenditure unit. T h e fam ilies at a given incom e level spending the largest am ounts for current expenditure will correspondingly be the fam ilies w ith sm aller savings. In general, the fam ilies h avin g the largest current expenditures per expenditure unit are the fam ilies w ith larger incom es, and sm aller num bers of children. T here are, how ever, at the lower expenditure levels families w ith incom es which are relatively large in term s of the average for the entire group, w ith larger num bers of m em bers, a n d /or earners, than those at the higher econom ic levels. W h e n the fig ures on net changes in assets and liabilities are com puted in term s of averages per expenditure unit, and of averages per worker, the trend is som ew hat different. T here is, how ever, a good deal of evidence to show th at the deficits a t higher expenditure levels were to an im p ortan t degree due to the borrow ing power and the confidence in incurring obligations of the fam ilies classified at these levels, and to the rising tide of in stallm en t bu y in g characteristic of years follow ing the depression of 1933.

A n analysis of the sources of nonincom e funds disbursed during the year (T abu lar S u m m a ry , table 4 ) shows th at in all five cities except D en v er average increases in borrow ing exceeded average w ith drawals from assets. In all the cities except D en v er, the average w ithdraw als from savings were m uch less than the average borrow ing at the low est econom ic le v e l; the difference varyin g from a low in M in n ea p olis-S t. Paul where average withdraw als from savings at the low est level were 69 percent less than average borrow ings, to a high in Salt L ak e C ity where they were only 4 0 percent lower. At IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY D IS B U R S E M E N T S 39 the highest expenditure level shown there is m ore variation from city to city in the ratio of withdraw als from assets to current borrow ing. In St. Lou is use of assets was greater than borrowing (i. e., increase in debt of all kinds) at this level, in D en v er equal, in M in n ea p olis-S t. P aul alm ost equal, and in K a n sas C ity and Salt L ak e C ity considerably less. T h e m o st frequent form of savings am ong the families in these cities was the p ay m en t of life insurance prem ium s 17 which was re ported by 80 percent or m ore of the families in each city. T h e average am ou n t of such prem ium s per fam ily m aking paym en ts ranged from $60 in Salt L ak e C ity to $111 in St. Louis. In general the proportion of families investing in life insurance and the average am oun t of prem ium s paid increased w ith rise in economic level. E x cep t in St. Louis the second m o st frequently reported disposition of funds for other than current expenses was pay m en t on principal of m ortgages and down p ay m en t on owned hom es. In St. Louis an increase in cash in savings account took second place. O n the other side of the balance sheet, the m o st frequently specified sources of funds other than fa m ily incom e were n et increases in in stallm en t account obligations for goods other than autom obiles, and “ other d e b ts,” which include grocers’ , d octors’ , and hospital bills, etc. W ith d raw als from savings constituted the n ext m o st frequently used source of funds for fam ilies in M in n ea p olis-S t. Paul and St. Louis. In Salt L ak e C ity loans from individuals were reported second, and in K a n sa s C ity increases in installm ent obligation for autom obile purchase. In D en v er withdrawals from savings and increases in installm en t obligations for autom obile purchase ranked together as the third m o st frequently used sources. A com parison in each of the five cities of the n um ber of families reporting the purchase of autom obile during the year covered b y the schedule and the n um ber of families reporting an increase in install m en t obligations for the purchase of autom obiles shows th at in D en v er tw o-thirds of the families purchasing autom obiles financed them by in stallm en t contracts while abou t 50 percent did so in each of the other four cities. Since a large proportion of the cars were purchased second-hand and cost approxim ately $200 it is probable th at a large n um ber of fam ilies paid for their autom obiles within the period of the schedule year. In som e cases the fam ilies resorted to sm all loan com panies b u t the figures as reported in this stu d y do n o t m ake possible conclusions as to the proportion of fam ilies obtaining such loans for the purpose of financing autom obiles. 17Ina study among Federal employees carried on by the Bureau of Labor Statistics just prior to the initia tion of this investigation, the schedule provided for securing information on the type of insurance covered by the premiums reported. It was found that very frequently informants were unable to provide the informa tion and the question was not included in the present schedule. It is, therefore, impossible to estimate how much of the amount paid in life insurance premiums represents savings and how much was paid for insurance protection during the schedule year. 5 3 9 5 7 °— 39------ 4 Chapter 2 Expenditures for Specified Goods Food Annual food expenditures. In proportion to to ta l current expenditures the am oun ts spent for food declined w ith rise in econom ic l e v e l 1 in each of the cities in the W e s t N o r th C e n tra l-M o u n ta in region, though actual dollar expendi tures increased. T h e actual dollar expenditures for food prepared at h om e (including food for lunches prepared at h om e and carried to work and to school) decreased slightly from low to the high econom ic levels, where fam ilies were m u ch sm aller, in all five cities. T h e percentage decrease ranged from 5 percent in D en v er, where the average annual expenditure per fam ily at the low est level was $4 3 0 , to 13 percent in S t. L ou is, where com parable expenditure was $4 8 8 . The actual dollar expenditures for food purchased and eaten aw ay from hom e increased considerably from the low est econom ic level to the highest in each of the five cities. In K a n sas C ity the increase was tw o fo ld ; in D e n v er, M in n ea p o lis-S t. P aul, and S t. L ou is, th reefold; and in Salt L ak e C ity , fivefold. O u t of each dollar spent for food at the low econom ic level, between 4 and 5 cents in each of the five cities except Salt L ak e C ity was used to purchase m eals aw ay from h om e. was so spent. In Salt L ak e C ity abou t 2 cents A t the high econom ic level 12 cents of each food dollar spent in K a n sas C ity and Salt L ak e C ity was allotted to m eals b ou ght and eaten aw ay from h o m e ; in D en v er, 14 cen ts; in M in n ea p olis-S t. P au l, 16 cen ts; and in St. L ou is, 17 cents. A t each level in all the cities m eals purchased at work constituted the largest expenditure for food b ou gh t and eaten aw ay from h om e. In each city the am ounts spent for m eals at w ork increased from the low est to the highest econom ic levels at abou t the sam e rate as did the total expenditures for all m eals b ou gh t and eaten aw ay from hom e. P a y m en ts for board at school, which were classified w ith expenditures for m eals aw ay from h om e, were reported b y two fam ilies in D e n v er and two in M in n ea p olisSt. Paul, b y one fa m ily in K a n sas C ity , and one in St. L ou is, and b y no fam ilies in Salt L ak e C ity . 1 In the Tabular Summary, table 8, details of annual food expenditures are shown by as many economic levels as the number of cases in each city and the type of data for this table would allow. However, for purposes of discussion in the text three comparable economic levels for all cities are used.

Food expenditures in 1 wee\ in the spring quarter . Data on 194 separate foods purchased and consumed during one typical week in the spring quarter 3 in each of the cities in the West North Central-Mountain region (Tabular Summary, table 7) confirm the customary belief that not only is there a marked increase in the aver age expenditure for food per capita with rise in economic level, but that the types and quantities of foods are distinctly different at the various levels.4 2 Food-expenditure units are computed from scales based on the estimated cost of customary food con sumption during the period of the survey. (See appendix G, pp. 376-377.) 3 In order to avoid overburdening the housewives cooperating in the investigation, the schedule was not planned with a view to obtaining estimates of the annual consumption of individual foods. The section on the details of food purchases provided for a summary of annual food expenditures and for the details of food purchases and consumption only during the week prior to the visit of the field agent. Since the figures on average amounts purchased and consumed were in the great majority of cases identical, data on quantities of foods purchased only are presented. Data on number of families using are presented to give a more complete picture. 4 For food expenditure during one week the economic levels shown in the Tabular Summary are the same for all of the cities. They are: Under $400, $400 to $600, and $600 and over. 42 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N For all of the cities in this region the per capita 6 expenditures and quantities consumed of meats, poultry, and sea food increase markedly with increases in the total amount spent per expenditure unit. Green vegetables and fruits likewise increased in respect to average expendi ture and to quantity purchased from the lowest to the highest eco nomic levels. Total quantities of flour and other cereals, including such foods as corn meal, rice, macaroni, etc., varied irregularly with rise in eco nomic level. T h e largest average expenditure per person for any individual item of food was for m ilk. A t the highest econom ic level this average expenditure was 49 percent greater than at the low est level in D en v er, 45 percent in K an sas C ity , and 37 percent in St. L ou is. In M in n e - a polis-St. Paul and Salt L ake C ity the average expenditure for m ilk was higher at the m iddle econom ic level than at the highest, which is probably accounted for b y the very sm all num ber of children am ong the fam ilies at the highest level. Reference to table 19 of the T a b u la r Su m m ary shows th at there was a m uch larger proportion of children under 16 years of age at the low est econom ic level than at the highest, and th at the proportion of children at the m iddle econom ic level lies in between in this respect. T h e percentage increase in per capita expend itures for m ilk from the low est econom ic level to the m iddle level was 44 in Salt L ake C ity , and 22 percent in M in neapolis. T h e individual food item s accounting for the second and third largest per capita expenditures were D en v er, M in n ea p olis-S t. P aul, and second and white bread third. butter and white Salt all of these bread. In C ity , b utter cam e In the rem aining two cities, white bread cam e second and b utter third. b utter in L ak e cities increased T h e average expenditure for m an yfold from the low est econom ic level to the highest. In general, per capita expenditure for bread, as well as the average quantity purchased per person, increased with rise in economic level. Potatoes ranked fourth in the proportion of total food expenditures devoted to any one item. Both the average expenditure per person and the average quantity consumed increased with rise in economic level. 5 Since human needs for and customary consumption of foods of different types vary considerably for persons of different age and sex, it is impossible to compute any singlo measure of family size which will be appropriate for comparing the consumption of specific foods from one family to another. Children’s need for milk is approximately twice as great as that of adults, while the need of heat-producing foods (starches and sugars) for adults is about twice as great as that of children. Children’s consumiition of meat varies from that of adults at a still different rate. In order to secure figures on quantities of individual foods purchased and on expenditures for individual foods which would provide a reasonably satisfactory basis for comparison and yet not present a misleading appearance of refinement, data on family purchases of individual foods have been converted to a per capita basis.

Such an estimate furnishes a rough approximation to the probability of adequacy of the diets purchased to meet the nutritional needs of the families studied. For this purpose the size of each family was measured in adequatefood-cost units based on the United States Bureau of Home Econom ics’ adequate diet at minimum cost,6 and average food expenditures per adequate-food-cost unit were also calculated for each family. These expenditures were compared with the calculated cost of the same diet for a man at moderate work, which was taken as a unit in the adequate-food-cost scale. 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 nutri6 See Stiebeling, H. K ., and Ward, M .

L ouis 31 per cent of the fam ilies at the low level and 25 percent at the high level owned their hom es. In all cities studied in this region, hom e owners and renters of houses had m ore room s per fam ily than renters of apartm ents. Except in S t. L ou is, the h om e owners averaged close to 5% room s per fam ily and renters of houses som ew h at better than 5 room s. Fam ilies living in apartm ents where h eat was n ot included in the m o n th ly rental averaged close to 4 room s per fam ily, while those in apartm ents where h eat was furnished b y the landlord and included in the rent averaged som ething over 3 room s. In general the largest hom es were reported in M in n ea p olis-S t. P aul and the sm allest in St. L ouis. A lth ou gh h om e owners and house renters also had, on the average, larger families than did families living in m u ltip le-fa m ily dwellings, their hom es were enough larger to m ake up for the larger size of their fam ilies. F or the purpose of calculating n um ber of persons per room , hallw ays, open porches, kitchenettes, dinettes, and baths were n ot counted as room s. In table 14 it is seen th at, in general, the num ber of persons per room is greatest am ong renters of unheated apartm ents, th at is, apartm ents in which heat was furnished b y the tenants, usu ally b y m eans of stoves. W h en we com pare families living at the higher econom ic levels w ith those at lower levels, there is observed a pronounced dow nw ard trend in the num ber of persons per room . T h is is due in large part to the smaller size of families at the higher econom ic level. I t was n ot until the level was reached where $400 or m ore was spent per expenditure unit per year th at, w ith one excep tion, fam ilies in all categories in all cities in this region averaged better than one room per person, the standard usually accepted in the U n ited States as indicating the m in im u m of necessary space. In table 10 of the T ab u la r S um m ary the table from w hich these figures are com puted is available in a m ore detailed break-dow n by econom ic level. T h e increasing im portance of the autom obile in enabling the A m eri can worker to locate land and a house he can afford to b u y is indi cated b y the fact th at 70 percent or m ore of the h om e owners in these five cities had garages, though this percentage dropped am ong renters to 53 percent or less (table 15). Among white families included in the investigation of the five cities in this region, 34 percent or less of the home owners and 42 percent or less of the renters lived in dwellings without one or more of the following facilities: Inside flush toilets, running hot water, electric lights, and gas or electricity for cooking. Minneapolis-St. Paul had the lowest percentage among owners, and Denver the low est percentage among renters without one or more of these modern conveniences, 18 percent in the one case, and 16 in the other.

Housing expenditures.

In part this trend is a reflection of the smaller fam ilies found at the higher economic levels, b u t it is also found when families of one size and type are isolated and their housing expenditures followed from one incom e level to another. Home owners.— A m o n g hom e owners, average current expenditures for housing only for all fam ilies in the cities included in this report ranged from $145 in D en v er to $180 in St. L ou is (table 16).

W h e n the price which h om e-ow ning families w ould h ave had to p ay to rent their hom es at m arket prices (annual rental value) is co m pared w ith the cash actually laid out for current housing expenditures, there is a net difference of incom e in kind which m a y be called the im pu ted incom e from equity in owned hom e.

In table 10 of the T ab u la r Su m m ary it can be seen th at there is little change in incom e from the in vestm ent in owned hom es within a given city from low to high expenditure levels. T h is situation is prob ably also connected w ith the tendency am ong the larger fam ilies which predom inated at the lower econom ic levels to m eet their housing prob lem s b y buying rather than b y renting.

Since the actual am oun t paid for fuel, light, and refrigeration depends to a large extent on whether a house or an apartm ent is in volved , and on whether the rent paid the landlord in cludes h eat, data are presented separately for families in four separate categories, as well as in the form of averages for all fam ilies. A s would be expected, the largest paym en ts were m ade b y fam ilies who pur chased fuel to h eat houses; coal, electricity, and gas constituting the largest item s. T h e second largest p aym en ts were m ade b y fam ilies who purchased fuel to h eat apartm ents, w ith the sam e three item s taking the greatest expenditures. 53 EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS When families paying separately for heat are classified by amount spent per expenditure unit (table 11 of the Tabular Summary) the dol lar 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 the requirements for fuel and light and the fact that as funds available for spending increase, a less proportionate amount of the increase goes to these items. Expendi tures for gas usually showed the greatest increase from low to high economic levels. Expenditures fo r 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 supplies, and other miscellaneous items. Expendi tures for these items, shown in table 12 of the Tabular Summary, showed marked increase from low to high economic levels, with the total expenditure approximately doubling in the cities in this region. The items showing the greatest effect of change in economic level were telephones, domestic service, laundry out, and insurance on furniture.

O n account of this high variability, average expenditures for specific item s of furniture and furnishings for relatively sm all groups of fam ilies do n ot show significant trends, and the figures on the details of furniture and equipm ent purchases h ave been presented as regional averages rather than in term s of aver ages b y cities. Expenditures for furnishings and equipm ent, which were greatest for electrical appliances, furniture, carpets and rugs, curtains, bedding, and m iscellaneous equipm ent, increased significantly w ith econom ic level.9 A t the low est level $ 4 4 .5 8 was spent for this group of item s whereas fam ilies at the highest econom ic level spent $ 9 7 .3 1 .

C loth in g expenditures for any one individual v ary greatly from year to year. A n even greater variability exists betw een the clothing expenditures of different individuals in an y one year. T h is high degree of variability results from such factors as the stock of clothing left over from the previous year, the m o n ey incom e of the fa m ily and the n um ber of persons w ithin the hom e whose needs m u st be supplied from fa m ily funds, and such unusual situations as m a y require special purchases. Because of this high variability, it is difficult to secure representative averages on the clothing expenditures of individuals unless data are available from a large n um ber of persons. F or this reason average expenditures for individuals for specified articles of clothing have been com puted for the region as a whole, and n o t for separate cities. (For m easure of variability of averages, see discussion, p p . 2 0 -2 2 and T a b u la r S u m m a ry , tables 2 4 A and 2 4 B ; for average cloth in g expenditures for detailed item s, see T a b u la r S u m m a ry , table 17.)

Since clothing expenditures are shown by sex and age groups as well as by economic level, only three such levels are presented for this table. They are: Under $400, $400 to $600, and $600 and over. The age groups shown for each sex in the tabulation of items of clothing purchased are: 18 years of age and over, 12 to 17 years, 6 to 11 years, 2 to 5 years. Pur chases for children under 2 years old are shown without regard to sex.

I f, how ever, gifts were received from persons outside the fa m ily circle, an a tte m p t was m ade to ascertain their value. F ifty -n in e percent of the fam ilies at the low est econom ic level, 59 percent a t the interm ediate level, and 53 percent at the highest econom ic level reported receiving such gifts. T h e value of such gifts as reported averaged around $10 at each of the econom ic levels, b u t as a large proportion of the fam ilies receiving gifts could n ot estim ate the value of the item s received and such values h ave n ot been included, the above figures do n o t give a com plete account of this item . Clothing expenditures for men and hoys. T h e total clothing expenditures per person decreased from $50 for m en and b oys 18 years and over through each age group to $14 for b oy s aged 2 to 5 years. W ith in each of these age groups the average expenditure per person doubled approxim ately from the low est to the highest econom ic le v e l.11 T h e consistent decrease in average expendi tures from the highest to the low est age group is m ain tained at each of the three econom ic levels distinguished. W h e n clothing expenditures of the m en and b oy s are sum m arized according to expenditures for headwear, outerw ear and underwear, footw ear, and m iscellaneous item s, expenditures for outerw ear, w hich includes shirts as well as suits, trousers, overcoats, jack ets, sweaters and sim ilar item s and for footw ear required from 75 to 85 percent of the total spent b y each age group. T h e percentage of total clothing expenditures going to outerw ear rem ained relatively stable from one econom ic level to another, b u t the proportion of the to ta l going to footw ear declined as total clothing expenditure increased. O n the other han d, the group of m iscellaneous item s including ties, cleaning and repairing required a decreasing proportion from the higher to the lower age groups, b u t accounted for an increasing proportion w ith rise in econom ic level within each age group. 11 See footnote 10, p. 55.

Shoes were purchased b y a larger proportion of m en and b oy s in each of the age groups than any other single article of clothing. T his proportion increased from 73 percent for the highest age group to 100 for each of the tw o you n gest age groups. A similar trend was found in the percentage of each clothing dollar devoted to shoes, where 11 cents was so spent b y m en 18 years of age and over and 30 cents b y b oys 2 through 5. 1.5 M e n 18 years of age and over averaged about pairs of street shoes per person, purchasing at an average price of about $ 3 .5 3 per pair. 58 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N Cotton shirts came next in importance as regards the proportion of men and boys purchasing except for boys 2 through 5 years of age whose cotton hose and overalls were next in importance after their shoes. Items which are of relatively short durability as ties and cotton hose were the third most frequently purchased items in the higher age groups. For men and boys 18 years and over, wool suits required the largest proportion of each dollar spent for clothing. Even so, only 1 out of every 6 men bought a heavy wool suit in the year covered by the schedules and about the same proportion bought a lightweight wool suit. In other words, each man purchased either a heavy or a light wool suit about once in 3 years, at an average price of about $22 per suit. Overcoats, the seventh most important item in respect to the average expenditures of all the men and boys in this age group were purchased by 1 out of 13 men or each man waited about 13 years to buy a new overcoat. The average price paid for each of these coats was about $16. W ool suits formed the second largest expenditure of boys 12 to 17. Only 1 out of 7 boys purchased a heavy wool suit, 1 out of 8 a light wool suit and 1 out of 2 received a new pair of wool trousers. The average price paid for a heavy wool suit was around $15, while a pair of wool trousers cost about $2.50. Expenditures for heavy sweaters by this group exceeded those by men 18 years and over. Overalls and wool trouser expenditures both exceeded expenditures for wool suits for boys 6 through 11, whereas for boys 2 through 5 overalls or coveralls and wool playsuits are the types of suits purchased. Fifty-five percent of the men and boys aged 18 years and over used cleaning and repairing services at an average expenditure per man using such service of $2.65. H ig h econ om ic level .— A t the highest economic level the annual clothing expenditure for men and boys 18 years and over was $72; for boys 12 through 17, $62; for boys 6 through 11, $36; and for boys 2 through 5, $21. In this group, as in the group at the lowest economic level, shoes were purchased by a larger percentage of men and boys in all four age classes than any other single item of clothing. Eighty-six percent of the men 18 years of age and over, 100 percent for each of the next two age groups, and 86 percent for the youngest age group purchased shoesThe percentage of each dollar spent for clothing which was devoted to the purchase of shoes rose from 9 cents for men 18 years of age and over to 25 cents for boys 2 through 5. M en 18 years of age and over averaged about 1.7 pairs of shoes per person purchasing at an average price o f about $4.73 per pair.

A bout 1 out of 3 men bought a heavy wool suit and about the same proportion purchased a lightweight wool suit, or to express it in another way each man purchased either a heavy or a light wool suit about every year and a half, at an average price of about $28.50 for a heavy suit and about $26 for a lightweight wool suit. Overcoats, the fifth most important item in respect to expendi tures by men 18 years of age and over were purchased by 1 out of 7 men or each obtained a new overcoat about once every 7 years. Nearly two-thirds of the men in this age group purchased felt hats at an average price of $3.70. For boys 12 through 17 years of age, in families at the highest economic level, wool suits account for the second largest part of each clothing dollar, with the result that separate wool trousers, which formed an important item of the expenditures at the lowest economic level, drop to eighth place in frequency of purchase at the highest level. A t this economic level expenditures for overcoats rise to third place. The frequency of purchase, however, indicated that only 1 boy out of 5 had a new heavy wool suit, almost 1 out of 2 a lightweight wool suit, but only 1 out of 4 a new overcoat. For boys 6 to 11 years of age at this level, lightweight wool suits become the second most important item of clothing expenditure, where 1 out of 3 purchased this item. Cotton shirts follow lightweight suits as the next most important item of expenditure. Cotton suits and play suits other than wool knit or cotton suede become the accepted form of dress for boys 2 to 5 years of age as measured by the propor tion of each clothing dollar devoted to these items. Eighty-six 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 $6. Clothing expenditures f o r women and girls. Average clothing expenditures for women and girls were in general similar to those for men and boys. However, in all age groups expendi tures at the intermediate and high economic levels for women and girls exceeded those for men and boys. Average expenditures decreased consistently with change in the age level of the group. Expenditures for girls aged 2 through 5 years were one-fourth as large as those of the women and girls 18 years of age and over, a decrease from $54 to $13. As with the men and boys, this decrease occurred consistently at all economic levels. A su m m ary of the clothing expenditures of w om en and girls b y ty p e of clothing purchased shows th at the distribution of clothing expenditures betw een garm ents of different types is very sim ilar to th at of m en and boys.

M is cellaneous expenditures representing less than 10 percent for each 62 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N age group increased markedly with rise in economic level. Expendi tures for headwear averaged about $4, or 6 percent of total expenditures for women 18 years of age and over and decreased through each age group to an average of 37 cents or 3 percent of total clothing expenditures for girls 2 through 5 years of age. L o w eco n om ic level .— A t the low econom ic level the annual clothing expenditure for women and girls 18 years and over was $32; for girls 12 through 17, $29; for girls 6 through 11, $16; and for girls 2 through 5, $9. Felt hats were purchased by a larger proportion of women and girls 18 years and over than any other single article of clothing. In the three lower age groups, however, the item purchased by the largest proportion of persons was street shoes. (In the two lowest groups this included dress shoes.) The proportion of persons purchasing street shoes in these groups increased from 80 percent in the group aged 12 through 17 to 100 percent in the two groups aged 6 through 11 and 2 through 5 (where “ dress” shoes were included). Street shoes ranked third in the proportion of persons purchasing in the group aged 18 years and over. When expenditures for shoes (including street, dress, and sport) for all age groups are examined it is seen that an increasing percentage of clothing expenditures is devoted to this purpose as the age level decreases. Sixteen cents of the clothing dollar was spent for shoes by women aged 18 years and over, and 36 cents by girls aged 2 through 5. Seventy-four percent of the women and girls 18 years of age and over purchased street shoes, 31 percent dress shoes, and 10 percent sport shoes, at average prices of $3, $3, and $2, respectively. Silk hose was the article second in importance for the groups 18 years and over and 12 through 17, with cotton hose taking the posi tion of second importance for the girls 6 through 11 and 2 through 5. For women and girls 18 years of age and over silk hose ranked second to shoes in the amount of average expenditure. W omen and girls at the low level purchased on the average 6 pairs in the year covered by the schedules, with 78 percent buying this article. Silk and rayon dresses were third in respect to average expenditure. About 4 out of 10 women purchased a silk or rayon dress and paid on the average $5.19. Fur-trimmed coats, fourth in importance of expenditure, were purchased by 2 women out of 25 at an average cost of $21.44. Silk hose followed shoes in importance of expenditure for the girls aged 12 through 17. Nine cents of the clothing dollar went for this purpose, with more than half the group making purchases. Silk and rayon dresses were next in importance of expenditure. A little less than 2 out of 5 girls in this group purchased such dresses at an average E X P E N D IT U R E S EO R S P E C IF IE D GOODS 63 cost of $3.75 per dress. Heavy plain coats were bought by about 4 in 20 girls and cost on the average $10.05. In the group of girls aged 6 through 11, cotton dresses followed shoes as the item of largest expenditure. Such dresses were purchased by 3 out of 5 girls at an average cost of $0.87. Heavy plain coats, next in importance, were purchased by about 1 in 4 girls. The average amount paid for such a garment was $5.00. H ig h econ om ic level .— A t the high economic level the annual clothing expenditure for women and girls 18 years and over was $83; for girls 12 through 17, $72; for girls 6 through 11, $38; and for girls 2 through 5, $24. In this group, as at the low level, shoes were purchased by a larger percentage of girls in the three groups under 18 years of age than any other single item of clothing. Silk hose was the item purchased by the largest number of women and girls 18 years and over, with shoes next in importance. The proportion purchasing shoes increased from 79 percent of the women and girls 18 years and over, to 100 percent in the two youngest age groups. The percentage of each dollar spent for clothing which was devoted to the purchase of shoes rose from 13 percent for women and girls 18 years of age and over to 26 percent for girls 2 through 5. Seventy-nine percent of the women and girls 18 years of age and over purchased street shoes, 48 percent dress shoes, and 24 percent sport shoes, at average prices of $4, $4, and $3 a pair respectively. Felt hats were third in respect to number of persons purchasing in the group 18 years of age and over. Silk hose were second for the girls 12 through 17; wool caps and berets, cotton dresses, and cotton hose for girls 6 through 11; and cotton hose and arctics for girls 2 through 5. For women and girls 18 years of age and over, silk hose ranked next to shoes in the amount of average expenditure. The average purchase was 13 pairs in the year covered by the schedules, with 9 out of 10 women purchasing. Silk and rayon dresses were third in respect to expenditure, as at the low level. About 2 out of 3 women pur chased a silk or rayon dress, paying on the average $7. Fur-trimmed coats, fourth in importance, were purchased by 1 out of 7 women at an average cost of $43. For girls 12 through 17, silk hose followed shoes in importance of expenditure at this level also. Ten cents of the clothing dollar went for this purpose with three-fourths of the group making purchases. H eavy plain coats were next in order of expenditure. About 1 out of every 3 girls purchased such a coat at an average cost of $13. Silk and rayon dresses were fourth in order. Three out of five girls bought a silk or rayon dress and paid $5 on the average. 64 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N For girls 6 through 11, cotton dresses were second in rank of ex penditure, with about 2 out of 3 girls purchasing. The average amount paid for a cotton dress was $1.15. The third item was wool knit play suits costing on the average $9 a garment. O ccupational differences in the clothing expenditures o f adults . Expenditures for clothing by the adults included in the Study were found to have been affected, to an important degree, by the occupa tion of the persons included in the Study, as well as by the economic level of the family. An analysis of the relative effect of occupation and social environment on clothing expenditures has been made for all white persons studied in the 5 West North Central-Mountain cities and 37 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. 378 to 381). 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. A t older ages, however, for both men and women, the expenditures of clerical workers were con sistently greater than those of wage earners. The differences 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 27th year, but thereafter 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 per cent 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 customary for adult women to be at home without gainful employment than for adult men, whereas most of the men found in this situation were in voluntarily 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.

BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS 66 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N 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. A t 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. A t every age level, in comparable occupational categories, the wo men spent more for clothing than did men, the average expenditure for women clerical workers aged 24 to 27 being 45 percent greater than that for men clerical workers of the same age, and the differences 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. The relationships discussed in the foregoing paragraphs may be seen graphically in figure A .12 T ran sportation The annual cost of transportation by trolley, bus, automobile, train, boat, or other means of conveyance ranged in the cities studied from $112 in Salt Lake City to $169 in Kansas City. Expenditures for automobile accounted for 69 percent of the total in St. Louis, 77 percent in Salt Lake City, 77 percent in Minneapolis-St. Paul, 82 percent in Denver, and 81 percent in Kansas City. Of the balance going to all means of transportation other than automobile, the largest portion went to trolley fares. The proportion of families using the trolleys was similar in the three largest cities. In Minneapolis all but 27 families out of 504 reported expenditure for this item. In Salt Lake City 30 percent of the families reported no trolley expense and in Denver, 29 percent. The relatively smaller size of these two latter cities made it possible for families to live within walking dis tance of schools and places of work. Average expenditures for all forms of transportation other than by automobile and trolley, in cluding local bus, taxi, bicycle, railroad, interurban bus, boat, or airplane were relatively small in all the cities. In each city studied in this region, expenditures for transportation showed a sharp increase at the higher economic levels as compared with the lower, more than doubling from low to high levels in each city.13 The chief factor in this increased expenditure was the auto mobile. The average expenditures for all other forms of transporta tion were approximately the same at all economic levels. 12The data on which the chart is based are shown in appendix G, table D, p. 386. 13For each of the tables showing details of expenditure as many economic levels have been shown as the number of cases in each city and the types of the data for each particular table would allow. (See Tabular Summary, table 13.) For purposes of discussion of expenditures in the text, families have been grouped at three levels: Low, under $400, intermediate* $400 to $600; high, $600 and over.

N ot only did the percentage of families owning automobiles increase markedly but the amount spent for operation and maintenance showed a substantial increase. A t the high economic level in Denver, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Salt Lake City, a larger proportion of funds spent for automobile operation and 68 W EST NO RTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN REGION maintenance went for garage rent and parking fees, repairs, insurance, and tires and tubes than at the low level. At the low level a some what smaller proportion of funds devoted to operation and mainte nance was spent for items other than gasoline, oil, and garage, suggest ing that the families in that group may have made at least part of the repairs on their automobiles themselves. The proportion of families purchasing automobiles within the sched ule year (table 13 of the Tabular Summary) was naturally much smaller than the proportion of families owning cars. Five percent or less of the families in the respective cities in this region purchased new cars during the schedule year, while second-hand cars were bought by 8 percent of the families studied in Denver, 17 percent in Kansas City, 13 percent in Minneapolis-St. Paul, 10 percent in St. Louis, and 7 per cent in Salt Lake City. It is of some interest to note that the propor tion of families buying automobiles in Denver and Salt Lake City, the two cities studied as of the year ending February 1935, is lower than in the three cities studied as of the year ending February 1936, when business conditions throughout the country were in general better than in the year previous. Expenditures for automobiles, new and second-hand, averaged $34 per family in Denver, $63 in Kansas City, $47 in Minneapolis-St. Paul, $46 in St. Louis, and $25 in Salt Lake City. These averages were com puted by dividing the aggregate amount spent for automobiles by the families studied in each city by the total number of those families. These aggregates include amounts still due at the end of the year covered by the schedule on automobiles purchased during the year. As mentioned above (see p. 39) payments on automobiles purchased in previous years are not treated as automobile expense in this report, but as reduction of outstanding liabilities. (See appendix A, p. 326.) Recreation Average expenditures for recreational items ranged among families studied in this region from $56 in Salt Lake City to $88 in St. Louis. The largest proportion of this total in all the cities except Salt Lake City went to tobacco (principally in the form of cigarettes), the amounts per family averaging from $24.21 in Denver to $30.56 in St. Louis. The second largest item of recreational expenditure in all cities except Salt Lake City was movies, which ranged from $12.47 in Minneapolis-St. Paul to $17.77 in St. Louis. In Salt Lake City this order was reversed, $15.23 going for movies and $13.50 for tobacco. The third largest expenditure was for newspapers delivered at home. Expenditures for all types of reading matter combined exceeded total expenditures for movies by 47 cents in Denver and 54 cents in Minne apolis-St. Paul. In Kansas City expenditures for reading matter were $2.92 less than expenditures for movies and in St. Louis and Salt E X P E N D IT U R E S FOR SPECIFIED L ake C ity , $ 1 .82 and $ 2 .43 less, respectively. 69 GOODS R eadin g m atter pur chased b y workers' families in these five cities was confined alm ost exclusively to newspapers and m agazines, w ith a very sm all am oun t going for purchase or rental of books.

In K a n sa s C ity and M in n ea p o lis-S t. Paul expenditures increased 68 percent from the low to the high econom ic level. In Salt L ak e C ity the increase was 59 percent and in D e n v er and St. L ou is a little less than 50 percent.

H aircu ts were the m o st frequ en tly purchased ty p e of personal care service, follow ed b y h air-w aving services of various kinds. Of each dollar spent for personal care services, haircuts accounted for abou t 60 cents and betw een 14 and 22 cents were spent for perm an en t w aves. W h ile expenditures for these item s rem ained relatively con sta n t from econom ic level to econom ic level, the am oun ts spent for sham poos increased m a n y fo ld from the low to the high econom ic level in all the cities, and for shaves b y barbers, in all except K a n sa s C ity . Not only did as large a proportion of the families at the low economic level as at the high economic level report expenditures for toilet soap, tooth powder, tooth paste, brushes, and other toilet articles, but also the average expenditure per family for such articles remained about the same from economic level to economic level. In contrast to this consistency, the expenditures per family for cosmetics and toilet preparations doubled from the low to the high economic level in every city except St. Louis, where the rate of increase was not quite so high.

(See T ab u la r S u m m a ry , table 16.) D irect expenditures for form al ed u cation ; for textbooks, school supplies, and tu ition , occupied an insignificant place in the expenditure pattern of the fam ilies studied. T h e y account for less than 1 percent o f total expenditures in any one of the cities covered in this area. D irect expenditures for form al education, a fu nction of a n um ber o f persons of school age in the various fam ilies, show no positive correlation w ith econom ic level. In every city the bulk of all form al education expenditures w as for m em bers living at h om e. T h e average per fa m ily for such expenditures ranged from $7 in St. Lou is to $10 in K a n sa s C ity , and included all such item s as books, pencils, paper, and supplies.

V o ca tion E xpenditu res for union dues or fees, professional association dues or fees, expenditures for technical literature, and similar item s have been classified as “ vocation al expense.” In general such expendi tures increased sharply from low to high econom ic lev el.18 O f such expenditures the largest part w ent for union dues and fees, which averaged abou t $4 per fam ily in each of D en v er, K a n sas C ity , and S alt L ak e C ity , abou t $6 in M in n ea p olis-S t.

F or each of the five cities except Salt L ak e C ity the am ounts contributed to religious organizations, co m m u n ity chests, and paid in taxes were, in general, less at com parable econom ic levels than were contributions to the support of relatives and other persons outside the econom ic fa m ily. T h e latter type of expenditures was n o t only greater b u t increased m u ch m ore rapidly from the low to the high econom ic le v e l.19 On the other h and, in Salt L ak e C ity , expenditures for co m m u n ity welfare were consistently greater than contributions and gifts to persons outside the econom ic fa m ily, except at the high econom ic level where the dollar expenditures for the two were the sam e. H ow ever, the proportion ately greater increase in gifts to persons w ith rise in eco n om ic level was also characteristic of the S alt L ak e C ity fam ilies. (See T ab u la r S u m m a ry , table 16.) In the other four cities the am oun t spent per fa m ily in gifts and contributions to individuals varied from an average of $23 in St. L ouis to $36 in D e n v er as com pared w ith contributions to welfare agencies and taxes of $21 and $18 in these two cities. In each of the cities, gifts to religious organizations constituted the bulk of the contributions to co m m u n ity welfare. T h e proportion of fam ilies m aking such contributions remains relatively constan t from econom ic level to econom ic level b u t the actual average expen diture tends to increase, though n o t in as great a proportion as do total expenditures for com m u n ity welfare. Salt L ak e C ity is again n otable in th at the contributions to religious organizations at the low est econom ic level were abou t the sam e as the am oun ts contributed in each of the other four cities at the highest econom ic level. In th at city such contributions increased abou t 70 percent from the low est to the highest econom ic level for both item s. A m o u n ts paid in poll, incom e, and personal property taxes ranged at the low level from 5 cents in M in n ea p olis-S t.

These variations reflect n o t only dif ferences in laws betw een the various States b u t also variations in the strictness of collection. 18 See footnote 13, p. 66.

In K a n sa s C ity and M in n ea p olis-S t. Paul there was an increase in the percentage of expenditures for housefurnishing goods and a decrease in the other three cities. In four of the five cities studied at the two periods, the percentage of total expenditures which w ent for food was sm aller in 1 9 3 4 -3 6 than in the war period, and th at to housing larger in all five cities. A n im portant part of the reason for these differences in distribution of expenditures is to be found in the price changes which h ave occurred in the interval. C o st of living indexes available for D e n v er, K a n sas C ity , M in n ea p olis-S t.

T h e cost of the other com pon ent parts of the fa m ily budget had also changed considerably, the decrease in clothing being m o st m arked in all four cities (see table 2 4 ).

F or a better com parison betw een the expenditures of the two groups of fam ilies it is desirable to pu t them on a com m on basis b y converting the dollar figures of the 1 9 1 7 -1 9 stu dy to values which reflect the price levels which prevailed at the period covered b y the survey in each city in 1 9 3 4 -3 6 . F or exam ple, in D en v er food costs were on the average 26.9 percent lower in the period of the second survey than in the year ending N o v em b er 30, 1918. In other words, D en v er fam ilies were able to b u y for approxim ately $73 the sam e foods for which they had paid $100 in the earlier period. O n the other hand, the average cost of m iscellaneous item s entering into the fam ily budget was 2 3 .8 percent higher at the tim e of the second survey in D en v er than at the tim e of the first, and it was necessary to pay $ 1 2 3 .8 0 for the goods and services included in this category which would h ave cost $100 in 1 9 1 7 -1 9 . Since the price changes which occurred betw een 1 9 1 7 -1 9 and 1 9 3 4 -3 6 in all the cities differed greatly as betw een different types of consum ers’ goods, each typ e of expenditure has been converted to the 1 9 3 4 -3 6 values w ith appro priate group index num bers calculated to show changes in costs to the consum er of this type of goods betw een periods covered b y the two studies.

A com parison of the cost of the 1 9 1 7 -1 9 purchases in 1 9 3 4 -3 6 dollars, w ith the distribution of the actual purchases in 1 9 3 4 -3 6 , shows a tendency toward larger purchases of food, sm aller purchases of clothing, and larger current expenditures for housing, fuel, and light. T h e decrease in proportion spent for clothing is very striking. The proportion of expenditures for both housefurnishing goods and m is cellaneous item s increased in two of the cities and decreased in the other two. Part II.— Negro Families 81 Chapter 1 Income Level and M oney Disbursements F am ily Incom e Schedules were obtained from Negro families in Kansas City, M o Kans., and in St. Louis, M o. These samples were chosen in the same way as the samples for the white families in each city, and represent a cross section of the families of employed Negro wage earners and clerical workers in 1935-36. The Negro families from whom data were secured cannot be re garded as representative of the total Negro population of wage earners and clerical workers of each of the cities, since the Study did not extend to families on relief. During the period of scheduling in each of the two cities, the number of Negro families on relief reached a peak in February 1935, when 3,500 Negro families in Kansas City and 12,500 in St. Louis received such aid. A general idea of the pro portion of families excluded from the Study 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 in each of these cities. The number of Negro families on relief in February 1935 in Kansas City constituted 24.9 percent of the total number of Negro families in Kansas City in 1930. The proportion on relief in St. Louis in the high month was considerably higher, 62.0 percent of the number of Negro families in St. Louis in 1930. Furthermore, it will be remembered that the plan of the Study provided 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 , pp. 347ff). These same criteria for inclusion of Negro as of white families were followed, even though they resulted in a Negro 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 employed white workers. In the groups surveyed, family incomes 1 ranged from $540 to $2,776 among the Kansas City Negro families, and from $607 to $2,347 among the St. Louis families. The maximum income in the Kansas City Negro group was achieved by a family having three fulli Details of family income when families are classified by economic level are shown in the Tabular Sum mary, table 2, and when classified by income level, in the Tabular Summary, table 5. 83 84 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N time and one part-time earner.

I t was found th at the difference betw een these two averages is large enough to be considered statistically significant. A m u ch greater significance was found, how ever, in the differences between the average incom es of the white and N egro fam ilies w ithin the two cities. M edian incomes were somewhat lower than the average in each of these cities— that is, more than half of the families received incomes less than the average for all families. This situation reflects the fact that there were a few families with incomes much larger than those 2 R. A. Fisher’s method for the analysis of variance as exemplified in intraclass correlation (discussed on pp. 226 and 227 of his Statistical Methods for Research Workers, 6th 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.

From table 28 it is apparent that the percentage of total income provided by earnings of the chief earner decreased with a rise in total family income, while the percentage provided by supplemen tary earners increased markedly in all the income groups covered in the two cities with one exception. Among Negro families with in comes of $1,800 and over in Kansas City, there was a slight drop in the relative importance of the earnings of supplementary earners from the preceding income level. The average number of persons reporting employment at any time during the year 3 increased consistently from low to high income levels, rising to 1.6 persons in St. Louis for the $1,500 and over groups and 1.8 persons in Kansas City for families with incomes over $1,800. Com position o f fam ilies. In Kansas City a little over half the Negro families studied were composed of adults. In St. Louis the proportion was nearly twothirds. Nearly two-thirds of the adult families in Kansas City were families of husband and wife only; in St. Louis the proportion was slightly less than half. C u rre n t E xpenditures o f Each C ity G rou p as a W h o le 4 As with the white families, the most important item of current ex penditure for the Negro families studied was food (see Tabular Sum mary, tables 3 and 6), which required in each of the two cities about a third of total current expenditures. The average amount spent by the N egro families for all items of current living was smaller than the average amount spent for all items by the white families. Although the Negro families studied were slightly smaller than the white fami lies in size, the percentage of the total spent for food was larger on the average among the Negro group than among the white, as might have been expected from the lower average total expenditures. Housing, including fuel, light, and refrigeration, was the second largest item of expenditure in each of the cities for N egro families as for white families. Among the Negro families such expenditures accounted for 23.7 cents out of every dollar spent in Kansas City and 24.3 cents in St. Louis. Expenditures for clothing came next in importance in the disburse ments of these groups, accounting for 9.8 percent of the total in Kansas City and 10.3 percent in St. Louis. The dollar figures are less than the corresponding averages for white families, but the percentage figures are very similar. While expenditures for recreation were the next most important among Kansas City Negro families, furnishings 3 In the present investigation each person reported as having worked for pay at any time during the year was counted as one gainful worker. * Current expenditures are defined on p. 1-3 and 320 of this report. IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY 87 D IS B U R S E M E N T S and equipment took fourth place among the expenditures of the St. Louis families, each type of expenditure requiring about 5 cents out of every dollar spent. In Kansas City medical care and expenditures for transportation other than automobile, each accounted for 4.6 per cent of total expenditures, but in St. Louis automobile transportation and other transportation accounted for 4.8 and 4.4 percent, respec tively. In each case the expenditure for auto transportation was less than for white families. In each of the two cities personal care expenditures accounted for about 2.3 percent of total expenditures, a higher proportion than that among corresponding white families in these cities. D istrib u tio n o f E xpenditures at Successive Incom e L evels 5 For both the Negro families in Kansas City and in St. Louis as in comes increased, the percentage spent for food and housing (including fuel, light, and refrigeration) declined. Percentages for clothing, fur nishings and equipment, transportation, and gifts to persons outside the economic family, on the contrary, increased with a rise in income level. The rise in percentages for clothing reflects the elasticity of demand for this item which is characteristic of all the groups within the income range covered in the investigation. Among the Kansas City families the percentage spent for transportation increased four fold from the lowest income level to those having incomes of $1,500 and over. Among the St. Louis families such expenditures doubled from the lowest to the highest income levels. Gifts and contributions to individuals outside the family showed the most striking change from low to high income levels, increasing sixteenfold in Kansas City and fivefold in St. Louis. F or the other groups of item s covered b y current fam ily expendi tures, no consistent trend from incom e level to incom e level appears, largely because expenditures for these item s are n o t solely functions of incom e b u t are prim arily affected b y the size and com position of the fam ilies at the various incom e levels as well as b y the special cir cum stances of any given year. In general, the percentages at each incom e level spent for personal care fluctuate around the average for all fam ilies of 2.4 in K a n sas C ity and 2.3 in St. L ouis. Likew ise the expenditures for com m u n ity welfare vary irregularly abou t the aver age for all fam ilies of 1.6 and 1.4, respectively. A m o n g the N egro fam ilies in K a n sa s C ity the relative expenditures for m edical care tended to decrease while those for recreation increased. C uriously enough, how ever, in St. L ou is the tendency was for b oth types of expenditures to decline w ith increase in incom e. E xpenditures for vocation and education were negligible at every level. 8 See Tabular Summary, table 6. 5 3 9 5 7 °— 39------- 7 88 WEST NORTH CENTRAL-MOUNTAIN REGION T a b l e 29 . — A v era g e a m ou n t sp en t p er expenditure u n it am on g w age earners and low er-salaried clerical w orkers at successive in co m e levels f o r 1 ye a r d u rin g the p eriod 1 9 S 5 —S6 NEGR O FAM ILIES Income level Average Num Average size of total ex ber of family in fami penditure expenditure per family lies units Average Average Average amount amount Average amount spent for spent for amount spent for all food per clothing per spent for food-ex clothing-ex other items items per expenditure penditure penditure per person unit unit unit K a n sa s C it y $500 to $600................. $600 to $900__________ $900 to $1,200________ $1,200 to $1,500______ $1,500 and over. 6 23 40 21 11 2.23 2. 57 3.46 2.96 3.35 $556 737 1,045 1,225 1,645 $109 113 113 146 152 $29 32 31 52 64 $112 141 156 214 269 $249 287 302 414 491 113 146 146 142 $26 37 57 61 147 160 235 245 $289 327 442 456 S t .

From table 29 it is apparent that the economic level of the Negro families studied, as determined from income and the size and composi tion of family combined, is similar in trend to that found for the white families. The amount of the family income and the number of persons in the family are of almost equal importance in determining the way the in come is spent, and it is therefore important to understand the family types which predominate at different income levels in the families studied. Size o f families. The average number of persons per family was slightly smaller among the Negro than among the white group in each of the two cities studied. The average size of family among the Negro families was 3.34 in Kansas City and 3.38 in St. Louis, which is larger than the median size of family shown in the census of 1930 for all Negro families of two persons or more of 2.66 in Kansas City and 2.89 in St. Louis. Although the average size of Negro families on relief in the peak month during the period of the investigation in St. Louis was larger than for the families scheduled in that city, it was smaller in Kansas City, a contrary trend to that noted for the white families. The average size of the Negro families on relief during the period under consideration was 3.2 in Kansas City, and 3.4 in St. Louis. The average number of children under 16 years old in the Negro families, as well as the average number of adults, is slightly smaller than in the white families. The small average number of children IN C O M E LEVEL AND M ONEY 89 D IS B U R S E M E N T S per family among families with incomes under $900 may reflect the depression of families with large numbers of children at this income level to relief status. The number of children per family is highly variable from one income level to another; the highest average occurs in St. Louis in the $1,500 and over income group, where there are on the average 1.44 children per family. In Kansas City the average size of family is 3.34 persons, both for the income groups under $1,200 and for the groups above $1,200, but in St. Louis the corre sponding figures are 3.19 and 3.65.

In contrast to the trend noted when the families are classified ac cording 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 29 are presented in table 30. The trends in the amounts spent per expenditure unit when families are classified by economic level are remarkably different for the same data when classified by income. The average expen diture for all items per expenditure unit increases fourfold from the lowest to the highest economic level but only twofold from the lowest to the highest income level.

The three items constituting the bulk of the ex penditures— food, clothing, and housing (including fuel, light, and refrigeration)— do not change rank from the lowest to the highest level.

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 the Negroes there were very few families spending more than $500 to $600. The greatest shift in rank order occurs in gifts and contributions which moves from thirteenth to fourth place in Kansas City, and from fourteenth to sixth place in St. Louis. Contrary to the rise in rank of recreation expenditures of white families, such expenditures show a slight drop among the Kansas City Negro families and a striking one in St. Louis. Expenditures for furnishings and equip ment, and for automobile transportation move up from eleventh to fifth and from thirteenth to fourth place, respectively, in St. Louis, but show a contrary trend in Kansas City where they drop from seventh to eighth and from sixth to tenth.

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 or 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 Kansas City and St. Louis, they showed a smaller proportion of families increasing their liabilities during the years and larger relative savings. In Kansas City there was an 9 The figures just cited have been computed from the families’ own statements about changes in their assets and liabilities and do not represent a balancing difference between reported incomes and reported current expenditures. (See appendix A, p. 322.) Most families were not able to present a statement of total receipts and total disbursements which balanced exactly. No schedule was accepted for use from a family which could not supply a statement of total receipts and total disbursements which balanced within 5 percent. 94 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N average net surplus at every income level. (See Tabular Summary, table 5.) The size of this surplus increased at the higher income levels. In St. Louis, however, an average net deficit was found at the lowest and at the highest income levels distinguished for that city. The two intermediate groups both showed average net surpluses. The deficit at the highest income level was caused by unusually heavy indebted nesses incurred for doctors’ and grocers’ bills by a few families. When families are classified by economic level (as shown in detail in the Tabular Summary, table 2) even greater irregularities in trend are found. Again the Negro families as exemplified by the samples in Kansas City and in St. Louis do not follow the pattern found among the white families, i. e., the general tendency for the net change in assets and liabilities to be positive (an average surplus for all families) at the lower economic levels, and negative (an average deficit for all families) at higher economic levels. From table 32 it can be seen that when all Negro families in Kansas City are grouped into three economic levels there is, at each level, a net surplus which increases in size with rise in economic level. In St. Louis when families are similarly classified there is found to be an average surplus for all families at the lowest level, an average deficit at the intermediate level, and a very small surplus at the highest. An analysis of the changes in assets and in liabilities, as shown in table 33, reveals that the greater reductions in assets and increases in liabilities tend to occur at the higher economic levels. This is due to an important degree to the borrowing power of the families classified at these levels and their confidence in incurring obligations and to the rising tide of installment-buying characteristic of the years following the depression of 1933. For families both in Kansas City and St. Louis increases in amounts due on goods purchased on the installment plan assume a larger proportion of the total increase in liabilities with rise in the expenditure level of families. In Kansas City increases in sums owed for goods purchased on the installment plan amount to 26 percent of increases in all liabilities at low income levels and 51 percent at the highest. Comparable percentages for St. Louis Negro families are 24 and 51. A comparison of the average increase in liabilities for goods purchased on installment plan with decreases reported by fam ilies having smaller amounts outstanding at the end of the year than at the beginning on goods purchased by this plan, shows that in both cities total obligations incurred during the year were considerably larger than those paid off.

Chapter 2 Expenditures for Specified Goods Food A n n u a l fo o d expenditures. Average food expenditures per family for the Negro families in Kansas City and St. Louis declined consistently in relation to total cur rent expenditures with rise in economic level.1 The average actual dollar expenditures per family increased in Kansas City and average dollar expenditures per food expenditure unit increased considerably from one economic level to another in both cities. Average dollar expenditures per family for food prepared at home (including food for lunches prepared at home and carried to work and to school) showed a decrease from the low to the high level in both cities. The percentage of decrease differs sharply between the two cities, being 4.1 percent in Kansas City, where the average annual expenditure at the low level was $346, and 15.8 percent in St. Louis, where the average annual expenditure at the low level was $395. Conversely, actual dollar expenditures for food bought and eaten away from home increased considerably from the low to the high level in both cities. In Kansas City expenditures for food bought and eaten away from home increased 194 percent, and in St. Louis, 82 percent. Of each dollar spent for food at the low economic level in both cities between four and five cents was used to purchase meals away from home. A t the high level the Negro families in Kansas City spent about 13 cents of each food dollar for meals bought and eaten away from home, while in St. Louis, 10 cents was used for this purpose. Expenditures for meals at work increased from the low to the high level more rapidly than did total expenditures for food away from home. N o family in either city reported payment for board at school. As in the case of the white families studied, the number of food expenditure units2 per Negro family decreased markedly from the low to the high economic level. When total food expenditures are divided by the number of food expenditure units the result gives striking evi1 For each of the tables showing details of expenditures as many economic levels have been shown as the number of cases in each city and the types of the data for each particular table would allow. For food expenditures for Negro families in Kansas City and St. Louis the levels are as follows: Low, under $300; intermediate, $300 to $400; high, $400 and over. See Tabular Summary, table 8. 2 Food expenditure units are computed from scales based on the estimated cost of customary food con sumption during the period of the survey.

Data on 194 separate foods purchased and consumed during one typical week in the spring quarter 3in the two cities of the West North Central-Mountain region where Negro families were studied show that not only is there a marked increase in the average expenditure for food per capita with rise in economic level among these families, but also that the types and quantities of foods are different at the various levels. The figures on the details of food purchases have been summarized to show average purchases by families at three different economic levels. The types of food purchased by the Negro families in the two cities show striking similarities. A comparison of the amounts spent for food per capita per week 4 by families at the three expenditure levels shows the total at the highest expenditure level to be approximately twice that at the lowest level. At both the low and high levels in the two cities these Negro families devoted a smaller proportion of their total food expenditures to grain and milk products, and a larger proportion to meat and miscellaneous foods. In part, the very small expenditure for milk products by the group at the high economic level is due to the relatively small number of children in this group. In part, however, it seems to be due to a general tendency among the Negro families not to consume as much milk as the white families. In the two groups spending from $400 to $600 per expenditure unit among the white families, the average amount of milk purchased per capita per week was about 6 pounds (converting condensed and evaporated to equivalent pounds of whole milk) and among the Negro families spending $400 and over slightly over 4 pounds on the same basis. 3 See footnote 3, p. 41, and Tabular Summary, table 7. 4 Expenditures for specific foods are presented per capita rather than per food expenditure unit, because of differences in needs for, and customary consumption of, different foods. For example, children usually drink more than twice as much milk as adults, but children’s food costs about half that of adults when the children are less than 6 years old.

S. B U R E A U O F LABOR STATISTICS 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 the families at the low economic level to those at the high. For Kansas City, the proportion rises from no families at the low level, to 34.5 percent at the intermediate level and 69.0 percent at the high level. In St. Louis, 10.7 percent of the families at the low level, 29.6 percent at the intermediate level, and 74.5 percent at the high level spent enough to purchase an adequate diet. For the purposes of this estimate the size of each family was measured in adequate-food-cost units based on the United States Bureau of Home Economics’ adequate diet at minimum cost,6 and average food expenditures per adequate-food-cost unit were also calculated for each family. These expenditures were compared with the calculated cost of this same diet for a man at moderate work, 5 See Stiebeling, H. K ., and Ward, M . M .: Diets at Four Levels of Nutritive Content and Cost. Department of Agriculture, Circular No. 296, Washington, 1933. U. S.

The prices used in this calculation were the average prices collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for its food cost indexes. (See pp. 44-46 for discussion of the significance and limitations of this method.) H ousing H ousing facilities. Home owners, who constituted 36 percent of the Negro families studied in Kansas City and 14 percent in St. Louis, more frequently lived in one-family dwellings and had larger homes than did renters. The average number of rooms per home-owning family was slightly more than five, while families who rented houses had about 5 rooms in Kansas City but only 3.2 rooms in St. Louis. Families who rented apartments with heat not included in rent lived in about 3.5 rooms in St. Louis and nearly 4 in Kansas City. Apartments which included heat in the rental payment averaged about two rooms in St. Louis and three rooms in Kansas City. From table 37 it is apparent that the number of persons per room is greater among families living in multiple dwelling units than among home owners and among renters of houses. A more striking fact shown in this table is the consistent downward trend in the number of persons per room with rise in economic level. In both cities families spending less than $300 per expenditure unit for all items and living in apartments where heat was not furnished were subject to considerable crowding, but for each class of dwellings in both cities the average number of persons per room was 1.15 or less when there was $300 or more spent per expenditure unit. The relatively high stand ard of most of these families in regard to the minimum necessary space is not to be taken as indicating the condition of all Negro families in these two cities, since it must be remembered that the sample is a cross section of only employed wage earners and clerical workers 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. Sixty percent of the home owners in Kansas City and 20 percent in St. Louis had in con nection with their homes space suitable for gardening, whereas the corresponding figures for renters were 29 percent and 8 percent. Only 21 of the 103 Negro families studied in Kansas City and 14 of the 106 Negro families studied in St. Louis reported the presence of garages in connection with their homes. In each city the larger pro portion of families having this facility were home owners. Sixty-one percent of the renters and 54 percent of the home owners among Negro families in Kansas City and 79 percent of the renters and 67 percent of the home owners in St. Louis lived in dwellings with out one or all of the following facilities: Inside flush toilets, running 102 W EST NORTH C E N T R A L -M O U N T A IN R E G IO N h ot w ater, electric lights, and gas or electricity for cooking. F rom table 38 which shows the percentage of fam ilies h avin g various facili ties as central heating, telephone, etc., it is apparent th at the hom e owners lived in relatively m ore com fortable dwellings than did renters. E v e n so, a lm ost a half of the h om e owners in K a n sas C ity and abou t 20 percent in St. L ouis did n o t h ave access to inside flush toilets. T w e n ty -six percent of the renters and abou t 8 percent o f the h om e owners in K a n sa s C ity shared the use of the toilet w ith other fam ilies, as com pared w ith 32 percent o f the renters and 13 percent of the h om e owners in St. Louis.

T h is is partly due to the relatively large percentage of expenditures going to this group of item s at the low est econom ic level and the urgency of other needs n ot m et at all, and partly to the sm aller size of the fam ilies at the higher econom ic lev els.6 (F o r further details see table 10 in the T ab u la r S u m m a ry .) Home owners.— A m o n g N egro hom e owners, average current ex penditures for housing only are abou t $50 less than for white fam ilies in K a n sas C ity and St. L ou is. (See table 3 9 .) O f the item s included in total current housing expenditures, taxes, interest on m ortgages, and repairs and replacem ents account for abou t 90 percent of the total housing expenditures, which average $100 in K a n sas C ity and $123 in St. L ou is.

Renters.— E v e n for apartm ents w ith h eat included in rent the average rental rate per m o n th was less than $ 20. (See table 3 9 .) In general there is a tendency for the average m o n th ly rent paid to in crease w ith rise in econom ic lev el, w hich can be seen in table 10 of the T a b u la r S u m m a ry . Secondary housing.— L ike the white fam ilies studied in this region, none of the N eg ro fam ilies studied owned a vacation h om e. One fa m ily each in K a n sas C ity and in S t. L ou is paid rent on a vacation or a trip, w ith an average expenditure of $10 and $6, respectively. One fam ily in St. L ou is paid rent of $240 for a child at school. Expenditures jo r fu el , lightf and refrigeration.— Expenditu res for fuel, ligh t, and refrigeration were h eaviest in winter and fall, with p ractically no expenditures for coal in spring and sum m er. In table 11 of the T a b u la r S u m m a ry detailed inform ation is presented on ex penditures for electricity, anthracite, bitum inous coal, coke, briquets, w ood, fuel oil, gas, kerosene, gasoline n o t used for autom obiles, and ice. Since the actual a m ou n t paid for fuel, light, and refrigeration depends to a large extent on whether a house or an apartm en t is in volv ed and on whether the rent paid the landlord includes heat, data are presented separately for fam ilies in four separate categories as well as in the form of averages for all fam ilies. A com parison of the E X P E N D IT U R E S FO R SP E C IF IE D 105 GOODS figures for K a n sas C ity and for S t.

Expenditures fo r other items of household operation .— Item s of house hold operation other than fuel, ligh t, and refrigeration include water rent, telephone, dom estic service, laundry sent out, laundry soap and cleaning supplies, and other m iscellaneous item s. Expenditures for these item s as show n in table 12 of the T ab u la r S um m ary increased m arkedly from low to high econom ic levels. L au n dry sent ou t and telephone expenditures increased m an y fo ld from the low est to the highest econom ic levels as did such expenditures b y white fam ilies. O n ly one fa m ily at the highest economic level in K a n sas C ity h ad expenditures for p art-tim e dom estic service and no fam ily had an expenditure for fu ll-tim e dom estic service. In S t.

F u rn ishin gs and E quipm ent 7 E xpenditures for furnishings and equipm ent, w hich were greatest for suites of furniture, electric refrigerators, ice boxes, stoves and ranges, carpet and rugs, and m iscellaneous equipm ent, varied signifi cantly w ith econom ic lev el.8 A t the low est level $ 3 2 .9 8 was spent for this group of item s, whereas fam ilies at the highest level spent $ 6 3 .3 4 . T h e goods purchased at different levels varied n ot only in kind b u t in q u a n tity . T h e articles purchased b y the largest proportion of fam ilies at the low est econom ic level were fu ndam entals of household equipm en t: broom s, brushes, and m ops, electric ligh t b ulbs, stoves and ranges (other th an electric), tubs, boards and wringers, sheets, blankets, and pillow cases.
