PR E FA C E

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted, from 1934 to 1936, a
study of the family incomes and money disbursements of wage
earners and clerical workers in 42 of the larger cities of the country.
The results of these studies have been published,1 and have been used
as the basis for a revision of the Bureau’s indexes of cost of living for
wage earners and clerical workers. In connection with this study, at
the request of certain State agencies, data were obtained from 13
cities so much smaller as to constitute an entirely different group.
The reports for these cities are included in this volume. Ten of these
thirteen small cities were in New Hampshire, where the survey was
made in cooperation with the New Hampshire Office of Minimum
Wage and the New Hampshire Emergency Relief Administration.
The study in Marquette, M ich., was undertaken at the request of
the University of Michigan School of Education and the Michigan
Emergency Relief Administration. The investigation in Reno, Nev.,
was made in cooperation with the Nevada Relief Administration, and
that in M odesto, Calif., in cooperation with the California Division of
Labor Statistics and Law Enforcement and the California Emergency
Relief Administration. The tabulations of all the data were carried
on with the aid of workers furnished by the Works Progress Adminis­
tration. The field work in New Hampshire was supervised by
Gertrude Schmidt Weiss, assisted by M ary Jean Bowman, Eileen
Leach, and Esther E. Nelson, all of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
staff, and C. Spencer Platt of the New Hampshire Minimum Wage
Office. In the other States, all the supervisory work was done by
members of the Bureau of Labor Statistics staff. The field work in
M arquette was supervised by Caroline Wilson under the general
direction of Frances R. Rice and Arthur Rayhawk, who were regional
directors of the field work in all Michigan cities. In M odesto the
field work was supervised by Margaret Allen under the general direc­
tion of Dorothea D. Kittridge and Georges M . Weber, regional direc­
tors of field work in all California cities. In Reno, the field work was
supervised by D orothy Terrill. Alice C. Hanson was in general charge
of the tabulations and M ary C. Ruark, assisted by Harry Winckel
and Ethel Cauman, was responsible for the final preparation of the
Tabular Summary in this report.

Introduction
Cities Studied
Thirteen small cities were included in this survey of employed
wage earners and clerical workers. The 10 New Hampshire cities
range in size from the industrial city of Nashua, to the small town of
Conway. The 3 largest of these, Nashua, Concord, and Berlin, all
had more than 20,000 inhabitants. Concord is the State capital, and
clerical workers were relatively numerous there. The average income
of the 99 Concord families surveyed was.$l,465— higher than that in the
other New Hampshire cities. The chief earner provided the largest
share of family funds, as there were few families with more than 1
worker. Nashua, a textile city in the extreme southern portion of
the State, near Lowell and Lawrence, Mass., provided numerous
opportunities for wives and grown children to work. As a result, a
little more than one-half of the families had 2 or more earners at some
time during the year, and average family income was nearly as high
as in Concord, $1,437. Berlin, farthest north of all these cities, is
largely devoted to paper making. It had the highest proportion of
families in which the wife was born in Canada, and most of these
women came from the French-speaking section of the country. Fami­
lies with more than 1 earner were few, and family income averaged
$1,133.
Five of the New Hampshire cities, Portsmouth, Keene, Dover,
Laconia, and Claremont, form the second group, each with close to
15,000 inhabitants. Portsmouth and D over are farthest east of all
the cities, Portsmouth being on the coast. Laconia is a resort center
near Lake Winnepesaukee, about the center of the State, while Clarem ont and Keene are not far from the Vermont border. Average in­
come per family in these 5 cities ranged from $1,396 for Portsmouth to
$1,163 for Claremont. In none of these 5 cities was the number of
earners per family so numerous as in Nashua, or so few as in Berlin,

M ONEY DISBURSEMENTS-----13 SMALL CITIES

The third group of New Hampshire cities includes Conway and
Littleton, both cities of fewer than 5,000 inhabitants and both in the
mountain and resort section of the State. Family income of employed
wage earners and clerical workers averaged $1,238 and $1,138,
respectively, in the two cities.
Marquette, a city of about 15,000, is on Lake Superior in the
northern peninsula of Michigan. Iron ore, from mines not far from
the city, is shipped from the docks in its harbor, and nearby stone
quarries also provide employment. Incomes of the families studied in
M arquette averaged $1,307.
M odesto, Calif., of about the same size as Marquette, is located in
the fruit-growing country of the Sacramento Valley, east of San Fran­
cisco. Average income of the group studied there was $1,472,
which was higher than in any other of the small cities except Reno.
Reno, Nev., with its population of about 20,000, is the largest city
in Nevada, a resort city and an important business center for the sur­
rounding farming and stock-raising country. Although Reno is
located in western Nevada, not far from M odesto, its climate is some­
what colder than that of M odesto. Wage-earner and clerical families
were in the most favorable economic position here of any of the small
cities studied, with an average income of $1,587, and smaller families.
Incomes among families of employed wage earners and clerical
workers were generally lower in these small cities than in the larger
communities nearby. Among the New Hampshire cities, average
income was less among the smallest of the cities than among those
next in size. In contrast with these New Hampshire averages, $1,190,
$1,279, and $1,345, for the three size-of-city groups, average incomes of
employed wage earners and clerical workers in larger New England
cities were as follows: Manchester, N. H., $1,405; Portland, Maine,
$1,505; Springfield, Mass., $1,566; and Boston, Mass., $1,571. (See
Bureau of Labor Statistics Bull. No. 637, vol. II.)
Incomes of small-city wage earners and clerical workers in Marquette
and M odesto also averaged less than in the nearby large cities included
in this study, D etroit (see B. L. S. Bull. No. 636), San Francisco,
Los Angeles, San Diego, and Sacramento (see B. L. S. Bull. No. 639).

Cost o f Living in Small Cities Compared W ith Large Cities
In considering data on income and expenditures from cities of
different size, one of the first questions that arises is whether costs of
living differ with size of city. From the limited data available, it
appears that living costs are somewhat lower in the smallest of these
communities than in the large cities nearby, but exceptions can be
found in every region of the country. M oreover, for the New England
States, in which are located 10 of the 13 small cities covered by this




INTRODUCTION*

report, it is very unlikely that the difference in living costs between
large and small cities would exceed 5 percent.
This conclusion is drawn from a series of surveys. The most
comprehensive recent survey of differences among cities in living
costs is one made by the Works Progress Administration in 1935.1 In
this investigation, an equivalent list of goods and services was priced
in each of 59 cities, giving cost estimates for the same standard of
living. None of these cities, however, is as small as the smallest of
the New Hampshire cities covered by this report, and those included
in the Works Progress Administration survey in the northeastern
section of the country are considerably larger. Ten cities of much
smaller size, among them Dover, N. H., were covered in a com­
parable study made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in connection
with estimates of living costs in northern and southern cities.2
Variations in living costs among cities of the same size are so great
that it is difficult to generalize regarding the effect of size of city on
living costs. For example, in the 1935 study, living costs were 14
percent more in Sioux Falls, S. Dak., than in the larger city of
Wichita, Kans. Even closer, geographically, and hence more nearly
similar in climate, are the New England cities for which 1938 esti­
mates of living costs are available. Living costs in Dover, N. H., were
found to be 6 percent less than in Boston, Mass., but 2 percent more
than in Manchester, N. H., and 0.4 percent more than in Portland,
Maine.

Expenditure Patterns in Large and Small Cities
The income difference between large- and small-city wage-earner
and clerical families thus appears to be considerably greater than the
probable difference in living costs. W ith their lower incomes,
expenditures of all kinds averaged less in the small cities for the
wage-earner and clerical group. Small-city families seem to differ
from large-city families in their spending patterns, even when they
have the same amounts to spend. Apparently, in the small cities
the desire to live up to the standards of the income group next above
is less pressing than in the large cities, where the spread of incomes is
greater.
The small-city families characteristically devoted larger amounts
to insurance, investments, and other savings than did families of
similar status in larger cities. For example, small-city families with
incomes of $1,200 to $1,500 finished the year with an average net
surplus of $50. (See table 1.) Large-city families in the same
income class spent nearly all of their incomes for current living,

having an average net surplus of only $2. Some families in each
group failed to balance income with expenditures, while others had
substantial surpluses, but the picture for each group as a whole shows
small-city families spending less for current living than large-city
families.

Housing expenditures provide one of the important differences
between small-city and large-city spending. For example, families
with incomes of $1,200 to $1,500 in the small New Hampshire cities
devoted 14.5 percent of their total current expenditure to housing, as
compared with the 19.2 percent spent for housing in the four large
New England cities included in Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulle­
tin No. 637, volume II. Housing expenditures, plus those for fuel,
light, and refrigeration, came to 25.7 percent in the small cities and
28.8 percent in the large cities. A comparison on the basis of total
cost of housing and household operation is more satisfactory as it takes
account of the larger proportion of large-city families that rented
their dwellings heated. A number of factors explain these differ­
ences; among them the tendency of small-city families to own their
homes free of mortgage thus decreasing their money expense for hous­
ing, the smaller amounts paid in taxes on owned homes, and the in­
complete equipment of many small-city homes as regards conveniences.
Other possible factors which this study does not cover are lower
land values and lower tax rates accompanied by fewer and less
expensive public services.

INTRODUCTION

In large and small cities alike, food took about one-third of the ex­
penditures of families in the $1,200 to $1,500 income class, and cloth­
ing about one-tenth. Food purchased and eaten away from home,
chiefly meals eaten out, was more important in the large cities, where

working places are too far away for the wage earner to go home for
lunch.
In the New England group, transportation expenditures took 6.0
percent of the total spent by large-city families in the $1,200 to $1,500
income class and 6.4 percent for small-city families with similar money
incomes. In the small cities this sum was spent almost entirely on
the family automobile, but in many of the large cities, automobile­
owning families were few, and streetcars and busses took family
members to work, to school, and on shopping trips.

M ONEY DISBURSEMENTS-----13

SMALL CITIES

Medicine, doctor, and hospital bills, in spite of their unequal dis­
tribution among individual families, took 3 to 4 percent of the total
spent by families in the $1,200 to $1,500 income class, in large as well
as small cities. Small-city families might be expected to spend less
for moving pictures and other forms of commercial entertainment.
Total recreation expenditures, however, amounted to 5.5 percent of the
total spent by small-city families in this income class as compared
with 5.0 percent in the large cities.
Furnishings and equipment and personal care expenditures also
were similar in'the two groups of cities, the former about 3 percent
and the latter 2 percent of the total. The remaining small expendi­
ture categories, education, vocation, community welfare, gifts to per­
sons outside the family, and other items, came to a total of 4.5 percent
in small and 3.1 percent in large cities, for families in the $1,200 to
$1,500 income class.

Scope o f the Study
The data on money disbursements obtained in this study apply to
12 continuous months within the period 1933-35 for each family.
For Berlin, Dover, Keene, Nashua, and Portsmouth all data apply to
the year ending August 31, 1934. For the other five New Hampshire
cities, the year of the study was that ending November 30, 1934.
Data for Marquette, M odesto, and Reno apply to the year ending
February 28, 1935.
The families to be interviewed in the investigation were chosen at
random from the lists of employees furnished by employers also chosen
at random. (See appendix B for further details.)
Since the funds for the investigation were limited, the survey was
restricted to the income levels more representative of employed wage
earners and clerical workers.3 N o families on relief were included in
the investigation.

The group supplying the material on which this report is based
includes families of all types but not persons living alone. Because
of the limitation of funds, the Nation-wide survey of wage earners and
clerical workers was not enlarged to include a study of money dis­
bursements of persons living alone, either as lodgers or as householders.4
3 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 at
the time when the study was begun, but the limited funds then available made it necessary to confine this
investigation to the groups for which the Bureau’s cost-of-living index is computed. Later, in 1936, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics undertook a study of consumer purchases which covers all economic groups, in
32 different cities. Funds were allotted to the project by the Works Progress Administration. At the same
time a coordinated study was undertaken by the Bureau of Home Economics in 66 farm counties, in 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.
4 The study of the living of single individuals presents a separate and distinct problem which will be
covered by the Bureau at a later date. At 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.




Income Level and Money Disbursements
Order o f Expenditure at Different Income Levels
The average amount spent for each of the major categories of con­
sumer expenditures was larger at each successive income level than at
the one preceding, but the pattern of the distribution changed mark­
edly with increases in income. For the small cities, these changes in
expenditure pattern are illustrated by the data for the 5 New Hamp­
shire cities in the 10,000-20,000 population group.
Families with incomes of $1,800 to $2,100 with an average income of
$2,004, as compared with the average of $766 for those in the $500 to
$900 class, spent nearly twice as much (84 percent more) for food.
Families were larger at the higher-income level, so that on a per per­
son basis, food expenditures were only 40 percent higher from the
low- to the high-income group. Expenditures for housing including
heat, light, and refrigeration, averaged $255 in the low- and $442 in the
high-income class. (See table 2.)
Clothing claimed a large share of the greater spending power of
families in the upper-income brackets. Average expenditures for
clothing increased from $64 in the low- to $229 in the high-income
class. Even on a per person basis, clothing expenditures were more
than double.
Larger sums spent for the purchase and operation of automobiles
also were characteristic of families in the higher-income class. The
average amount spent on the family automobile was $40 in the lowand $113 in the high-income class.

SMALL CITIES

Purchases of furnishings and equipment, although accounting for a
small share of the total, showed the largest proportionate advance
from low- to high-income levels. Families in the $1,800 to $2,100
income class spent five times as much for furniture, bedding, linen,
and electrical and other equipment as did those with incomes of $500
to $900. Education expenditures also ranked high in elasticity,
increasing fourfold over this income range.
Average expenditures for medical care were nearly twice as much in
the $1,800 to $2,100 as in the $500 to $900 income class. Personal
care and recreation expenditures showed somewhat greater propor­
tionate increases, averaging about two and one-half times as much in
the upper income class as in the lower.

Planes o f Living Determined by Family Sizie as Well as Income
In the wage-earner and clerical group in these small cities, as in the
42 large cities covered by this survey, average size of family tends to
increase with income. In other words, high family incomes in these
occupational groups often are the pooled earnings of several workers.
T o the extent that a higher income is used for the support of a larger
number of persons, it does not provide as high a scale of living as a
somewhat lower income used for the support of fewer persons. Since
one of the primary purposes of the investigation was to determine the
kind of living available to families at different economic levels, the
detailed analysis of expenditures has been based upon a classification
which takes into account not only the total amount of money available
for family living, but also the composition of the family for which it
is spent.
The process of classifying families according 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 years working as a machine operator; his wife, 38; two sons, aged
15 and 6; and two daughters, aged 12 and 8. In addition, the family
was responsible during 6 months for the total support of the wife's
mother, who lived with them during half the year. This family is
regarded as consisting of six and one-half persons. The second family
consists of a man of 27, also a machine operator; his wife, 26; a daugh­
ter, 4; and an infant son, i}{ 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 available on the influence of age or sex on these general types
o f expenditure to improve upon the assumption that equal expendi­
tures are incurred for each member of the family. The expenditure
per person in the first family was $112 as against $195 in the second




INCOME LEVEL AND MONEY DISBURSEMENTS

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 expendi­
ture for each age, sex, and activity group in terms of the customary
expenditures of an adult male employed full time. The scale for food
adopted in this study indicates that the first family consists of the
equivalent of 5.5 adult males in the family for the full year. This
unit will subsequently be referred to in the present study as a “ foodexpenditure unit.” The second family consists of 2.9 food-expendi­
ture units. The first family spent $580 per year for food, or the
equivalent of $105 per food-expenditure unit. The second family
spent $500, which although a substantially smaller proportion of its
total income, amounted to $172 per food-expenditure unit.
Finally, in connection with clothing, it has been possible as a result
of this study to derive scales of customary expenditures related to sex,
age, and occupation. If the average expenditures of adult male wage
earners and lower-salaried clerical workers between the ages of 21 and
35, inclusive, are regarded as equivalent to one 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
is an average per clothing-expenditure unit of $36 for the first family
and $65 for the second. The economic level of the first family has
been measured by the sum of these three types of unit expenditure,
i. e., $105 for food, $36 for clothing, and $112 for all other items— total
for the family, $253 per expenditure unit. The smaller family which,
it will be recalled, had an identical income to spend, has not been
classified with the larger family but rather with other families that
had a unit expenditure of more than $400, but less than $500. In
both cases, this means that these particular families are grouped, as
regards economic level, with families whose incomes may be quite
different. For example, a widow with one young child, earning $100
a month, would be grouped with the smaller of the two families, as
would also a very large family with an income of more than $3,000.

Changes in Assets and Liabilities5
In each of these groups of small cities, wage-earner and clerical
families, in the aggregate, spent less than the sum of their incomes for
current living. The average net surplus per family ranged from $79,
the amount reported for those in Marquette, to $19, for families in
5
F o r 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 a
more detailed explanation, see appendix A, notes on table 4.

SMALL CITIES

M odesto.6 Some of the families in each of the small-city groups did
not balance expenditures with income, but in none were there as many
as one-half in this circumstance. For example, in Marquette, 77
percent of the wage earners and clerical workers reported a net surplus
for the year. The proportions in this position were somewhat less in
the other cities, being smallest in Reno, where 54 percent reported a
net surplus.

In spite of the fact that aggregate incomes exceeded aggregate cur­
rent expenditures for these families, the funds that were free, in the
sense that they might readily be turned to other forms of investment,
were small. In the New IJampshire cities, and in Marquette, life
insurance and annuity premiums7took about one-half of the gross sur­
plus of the group; payments on owned home— both down payments
and mortgage reduction— took about one-tenth. In Modesto and
Reno, life-insurance premiums were relatively less and payments on
the owned home relatively more important. In these, as in the other
cities, however, these two together took a little more than one-half
of the group’s surplus funds. Payment of back debts, including in­
stallment debts, took about one-tenth to one-fifth. In only two
of the groups of cities was as much as one-third of the surplus funds
accumulated during the year available at the end of the period in
cash, in bank accounts, or for other forms of investment, while in the
other cities this sum represented an even smaller proportion of the
surplus.
In each small-city group, families paying life-insurance premiums
were more numerous than those reporting net surpluses for the year,
indicating that life-insurance policies often are kept up by families
that run into debt. The percentage of families paying for life insur­
ance varied among the cities, ranging from 64 percent in Reno to 96
percent in the New Hampshire cities in the 20,000-50,000 population
group. M oreover, life-insurance payments were important in the
aggregate because of the amounts paid out, as well as because of the
frequency of such payments in the group. Families that carried life
insurance paid premiums averaging from $66 to $98 in the six groups
of cities. (See table 3.)
# 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. 145-146.) 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.
7In a 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
information 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.

On the deficit side of the ledger for these groups of families, with­
drawals from bank accounts and increases in debts, both on install­
ment contracts and of other types, were the chief sources of funds.
A t every income level, some families devoted a part of their current
income to payment of back debts or to provision for the future, as by
buying life insurance, saving, or making other investments. Others
went into debt or used savings accumulated previously. Families
in this position were found in all income classes. In the New Hamp­
shire cities with population of 10,000 to 20,000, for example, 36 per­
cent of the families in the $500 to $900 income class reported a net
surplus for the year, 53 percent had a net deficit, and the remainder
reported themselves in about the same financial position at the end
as at the beginning of the year. In the $1,800 to $2,100 income class,
families with net deficits were considerably fewer— 20 percent— while
77 percent had net surpluses. The balance of income and expenditures
at different income levels is shown, also, by the average net deficit of
$59 of families in the lowest income class, the change from net deficit
to net surplus in the higher income classes increasing to an average of
as much as $168 per family at the $1,800 to $2,100 level.




Expenditures for Specified Goods
Automobiles
Public transportation systems in small cities are generally much
less adequate to the needs of the citizens than the systems in large
cities. The population is, as a rule, less densely settled in the small
community and it is more difficult to provide efficient services at as
low a rate. For this reason, the proportion of small-city families
meeting the transportation problem by having their own cars was
larger, in general, than in the large cities in the same region. As in
the larger cities, a higher proportion of families in the western towns
had their own cars than families in cities of the same size in the eastern
part of the country.
In Conway and Littleton, 52 percent of the families studied had
cars; in the next larger New Hampshire cities, 47 percent; and in the
cities of 20,000 to 50,000 population, 42 percent. Boston, the
largest New England city covered in this survey, is in marked con­
trast, with only 14 percent of the families owning automobiles. (See
table 4.)
The contrast between large and small cities in the proportion of
families owning automobiles is shown also in the California group of
cities. California cities, in general, rank high in the proportion of
wage-earner and clerical families owning automobiles, but Modesto,
with 87 percent of the families reported as car owners, is outstanding
among them. Even in San Francisco, where busses and streetcars
provide more convenient transportation than in the smaller cities, 57
percent of the families studied had automobiles.

Marquette is an exception to the general rule regarding automobile
ownership in the small cities. Fifty-seven percent of the Marquette
wage-earner and clerical families owned their own cars, but even larger
proportions of the Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing families had
automobiles. The stimulus of Detroit as a center of automobile pro­
duction is undoubtedly an important factor in the prevalence of auto­
mobiles in these southern Michigan cities. Difficulties of winter driv­
ing in the northern peninsula where Marquette is located may also
account for the smaller proportion of car-owning families there.
Automobile ownership is definitely related to the economic position
of the group of families studied. Because wage-earner and clerical
incomes tended to be somewhat lower in the small than in the large
cities, the relatively large proportions of families owning automobiles
12

in the small cities are even more striking, when comparisons are limited
to families at the same economic level. (See table 4.)

Purchases of automobiles during the year of the study were reported
by 8 to 12 percent of the small-city groups in New Hampshire, by 8
percent of the Marquette families, by 17 percent in Reno, and by 21
percent in M odesto. In all of these cities purchases of second-hand
cars by this group far outnumbered purchases of new automobiles.
For families that had automobiles, the average cost of gasoline,
tires, and other expense for operation of these automobiles came to
well over $100 in each of the groups of cities except Marquette.
(See table 5.)
Forms of transportation other than the family automobile were
little used in cities so small as these. The average expenditure per
family for all rides by train or bus during the entire year ranged from
$8 in Berlin, Concord, and Nashua, to $3 in Conway and Littleton.

Housing
N e w Hampshire Cities

Hom e ownership, like automobile ownership, tends to be more
prevalent among families in the small than among those in the large
cities included in this study. Among the small New Hampshire
cities, the proportion of owned homes ranged from 31 percent in
Nashua, Concord, and Berlin, to 47 percent in Littleton and Conway.
In Boston, only 20 percent of the wage-earner and clerical families
lived in owned houses; in Portland, Maine, 22 percent; and in M an­
chester, N. H., 27 percent.
The smaller proportion of total current expenditure taken by hous­
ing in the small cities is explained in part by the relatively large
number of home owners there. The current housing outlay of the
home owner is diminished by the fact that he has some investment
in his home, on which he might, theoretically, be considered to be
paying himself interest.8 Consequently, it is not surprising that the
actual current expenditure for housing in Conway and Littleton,
where 47 percent of the homes were owned, averaged only $144 per
fam ily for the year when all families are considered in computing the
average. In the five cities of the middle-sized group, where 37
percent were home owners, average housing expense was $186 and
in Berlin, Concord, and Nashua, where 31 percent of the families
were home owners, average housing expense was $197.
For example, the rental value of the owned homes included in this
study in Conway and Littleton, where almost half the families owned
their homes, averaged $232.36 for the year. Current expenditures
for taxes, interest on mortgages, repairs, and the like came to $104.65
per owned home, leaving a balance averaging $127.71, which m ay
8 The amounts devoted to outright purchase of homes, down payments, or to payment of principal of
mortgage were considered an investment for the purposes of this study, and do not appear as part of current
housing expense.




15

EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS

properly be regarded as nonmoney income from the home owners’
return on his investment. When the total amount of this imputed
income to home owners is added to their current money outlay for
their homes and to the sums paid out as rent by the renting families,
we obtain an average value of housing of $204 per family for the
year, considerably more than the money outlay for housing of $144
per family. However, even this sum is less than the comparable
figure of $241 for the five New Hampshire cities next largest in size,
and $240 for Berlin, Concord, and Nashua. In Boston, where home
owners were comparatively few, average current expenditures of $319
are increased by only $27 by the addition of nonmoney income from
owned homes, to give a total of $346 as the average value of housing
for the group studied there.
Among home owners, the average expenditures for taxes for families
who made such payments were a little over $60 in the two groups of
larger New Hampshire cities, and $48 in Littleton and Conway.
Interest payments on mortgages were a second large expense for
home owners. M any home owners had no mortgages on their homes
but, for families that paid interest, the amounts were fairly large.
F or example, in the middle-sized group of New Hampshire cities,
19 percent of the families made interest payments during the year,
and, for these, the average was $74. (See table 6.)

New Hampshire small-city families that rented houses paid aver­

(See chart 2.)
Even in the smallest of the New Hampshire cities, 8 out of 10 houses
had inside flush toilets, and electricity was quite generally used for
lighting. Bathrooms were reported in almost 8 out of 10 homes in the
two groups of cities with 10,000 or more inhabitants, and in two-thirds
of the Littleton and Conway homes. Running hot water was some­

Especially in the smaller cities, these probably were electric stoves or

In conclusion, small-city families in New Hampshire paid consid­
erably less for housing than did Boston families. Their homes were
less well provided with conveniences, especially hot running water
and gas or electric stoves, but such other advantages as fresh air and
open space surrounding their homes probably compensated to some
extent for city conveniences. A t any rate, the actual expenditures
for housing were considerably less in these New Hampshire cities than
in Boston, and part of the sum thus saved on housing was spent by
small-city families on automobiles, thus compensating for the lack of
public means of transportation available to large-city families.
M arquettte, Modesto, and Reno

The other three small cities also rank high in home ownership among
wage-earner and clerical families, especially when compared with such
large places as Detroit and San Francisco. In Marquette and Reno
almost one-half of the homes were owned; in Modesto nearly two-fifths.
Nearly all of the wage-earner and clerical homes in Marquette,
M odesto, and Reno were equipped with electric lights and inside
flush toilets. Bath-rooms and running hot water also were reported
by nearly all families, except in Marquette, where 83 percent had
bathrooms and 62 percent had running hot water. Gas or electricity
for cooking was less frequent, except in Modesto. Accordingly, the
families that had inside flush toilets, running hot water, electric lights,
and gas or electricity for cooking accounted for 43 percent in M ar­
quette, 87 percent in M odesto, and 54 percent in Reno.
Fuel, Light, and Refrigeration
The average cost of fuel for cooking and room heating in the New
Hampshire cities came to a little under $100. Fuel bills for apart­
ments averaged somewhat less than those for houses, and the amounts
differed slightly from one group of cities to another, but average costs
for all heating and cooking fuels were close to $100. For electricity,
average expenditures were a little under $30, and for ice, between $5
and $7 for the year.
Fuel expenditures were a little less in Marquette, chiefly because
of the kind of fuel used. M arquette usually has as severe winters
as most of the New Hampshire cities, according to average tempera­
ture reports of the United States Weather Bureau, but the use of
bituminous coal rather than anthracite and fuel oil made lower
fuel bills. The total for fuel, light, and refrigeration for Marquette
families that provided heat for their own homes came to $113 for the




18

SMALL CITIES

year. Electricity expense averaged $30 a year, and ice, which was
seldom purchased, averaged only $1 per family for this group. Hence,
average costs for all fuel used for cooking and house heating, for
dwellings in Marquette without heat furnished, were $82.
In Reno, where the climate is considerably milder, the average
expenditure of families in houses for all kinds of heating and cooking
fuels was $70. Average annual electricity bills for families in houses
came to $43. The larger proportion of families (29 percent) with
electric refrigerators is one explanation; probably other electrical
appliances were used more freely also, as average income was con­
siderably higher in Reno than in the other cities.
Fuel expenditures were so much less in Modesto, Calif., that the
average total for fuel, light, and refrigeration for houses was $97.
Electricity bills came to an average of $34, and ice for these families
averaged $11. Winters are usually warmer than in any of the other
small cities studied, and average expenditures for fuel for heating these
houses and for cooking were $51 for the year.
Anthracite, wood, and fuel oil were the heating fuels most frequently
used by New Hampshire small-city families. W ood was especially
popular in Littleton and Conway, where 75 percent of the families
who paid for their own fuel bought wood, and, in the average fuel bill
for the group as a whole, wood was the largest item, amounting to $34.
Anthracite was the only type of coal widely used. Fuel oil was pur­
chased by about one-half of the families in all the New Hampshire
cities that paid for their own fuel. N ot all of this oil was for furnace
burners, as oil more refined than the usual furnace oil was often
reported for use in stoves. The fact that purchases showed less
relative decrease during the summer months than did coal purchases,
also suggests that some of this fuel oil was used for cooking. Gas,
probably used for cooking, was reported by about two out of five of
the families in the two groups of larger cities, but by almost none in
Littleton and Conway.
Among Marquette families who paid for heat in houses and apart­
ments, bituminous coal was the fuel most often chosen, and in total
cost accounted for two-thirds of total expense for cooking and heating
fuels. W ood expenditures were relatively small, although two-thirds
of the families purchased some wood. Payments of gas bills were
reported by only one-third of these families, indicating that wood and
coal were the more usual cooking fuels.
In Reno, as in Marquette, bituminous coal was most important in
the group’s fuel bill, with wood a close second. Use of gas was
reported by about 3 out of 10 families. In Modesto the group, as a
whole, was somewhat higher in income than in Marquette or the New
Hampshire cities, and mild climate as well as the availability of gas
also affected the choice of fuels. Of the total expenditures for cooking




EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS

19

and heating fuels, 71 percent was for gas, and 8 out of 10 families that
paid for their own fuel used gas. About one-third of the families
purchased some wood, but the average expenditure for wood by the
group as a whole was only one-sixth as much as the expenditure for gas.
Food
Average total food expenditures for these small-city groups ranged
from $392 per family in Littleton and Conway to $470 in Marquette.
The relationships between economic level, size of family, and total
expenditures for food are shown in table 7 for the New Hampshire
cities, for which data are presented by expenditure unit. When
families are classified in this way the average amount spent on food for
each food-expenditure u n it9 (roughly per person) is very similar from
one group of cities to another; that is, the average amount spent for
food was close to $130 per food-expenditure unit in each of the city
groups, for the families that spent for all goods and services from $300
to $400 each year per expenditure unit. Differences in average food
expenditures among city groups at the extremes of the distribution
result from variations among the cities in the proportions of families
in the very lowest and the highest economic levels covered.

Even in the smallest of these cities, Littleton and Conway, home
gardens were of only slight importance in reducing the family food
bill. The average value of all food produced at home during the
entire year, and of gifts of food and food received as pay was only
$8 per family. In the other New Hampshire cities, and in Marquette
and Reno, the value of such food was less. In Modesto, a center for
truck farming, with a climate well suited to gardening, the value of
home-produced and other food not purchased was $22 per family.

SMALL CITIES

Expenditure for each type of food increased with economic level.
Families in the highest economic group spent almost twice as much
per, person for food as did those in the lowest economic group. Ex­
penditures for meat, poultry, and fish a little more than doubled, and
those for vegetables and fruits increased about two and one-half
times. Expenditures for milk did not increase as rapidly with increase
in total food expenditure as they would have done had there been as
many children at the higher economic levels, as at the lower. Among
families with annual unit expenditures of $500 and more, one family
out of four had a child under 16 years. Among families with unit
expenditures of less than $500 the average was at least one child per
family and two children in every second family. Expenditures for
sugar and other sweets were twice as much in the highest as in the
lowest economic group, and those for miscellaneous foods, chief among
them coffee and tea, were a little more than doubled. On the other
hand, increases in expenditures for bread, flour, cereals, and baked
goods were only about one-third.
Nearly all of the money spent for food by these families was for
food eaten at home. Added together, the cost of all food purchased
and eaten away from home, whether meals at work, school, or on
vacation, or candy, drinks, and ice cream, amounted to from 2 to 3
percent of the family food bill in the New Hampshire groups; 4 percent
in M arquette; 5 percent in R eno; and 9 percent in M odesto. Since
such expenditures are characteristic of families at higher economic
levels, the larger proportion of the food money used in Reno and
M odesto for food away from home probably is due to the higher in­
comes and smaller families there.
In addition to the reports of 1 week’s food purchases and the esti­
mates of annual food expenditures, detailed records of actual food
consumption for 1 week were kept by 294 families in the New Ham p­
shire cities, 78 families in Reno, and 14 in Marquette. These have
been analyzed by the Bureau of Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture along with reports from other
families in the wage-earner and clerical group to show the nutritional
adequacy of the diets.10 N o separate figures were computed on the
nutritional content of the diets in the small, as distinguished from
the large, cities in each region. In view of the relatively insignificant
value given the food grown for home use by these small-city families,
it appears that their nutritional status was not very different from
that of large-city white families of similar economic status.

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

In summarizing their findings Stiebeling and Phipard estimate
that there is little likelihood of a deficiency in protein in the diets of
employed workers and their families in the United States. M ost of
the diets in the North Atlantic area also furnished an adequate
supply of nicotinic acid. Deficiencies in the consumption of calcium
and Vitamins A, Bi, and C were numerous, however.
A new dietary goal and yardstick by which to measure progress was
announced on M ay 25, 1940, by the Committee on Foods and Nutrition
of the National Research Council (Dr. Russell M . Wilder of the
M ayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., chairman). This yardstick for
the average man at moderately heavy work is as follows:
Recommended daily allowances for specific nutrients for a 154-pound moderately
active man.1

1 These are tentative allowances toward which to aim in planning practical dietaries. These allowances
can be met with a good diet of natural food. Such a diet would also provide other minerals and vitamins,
the requirements of which are less well known.
2 Requirements may be less than these amounts if provided as vitamin A, greater if chiefly as the pro­
vitamin carotene.
3 One milligram thiamin equals 333 international units; one milligram ascorbic acid equals 20 international
units; and 1 international unit of ascorbic acid equals 1 U. S. P. unit.

Vitamin A is important in insuring good visual adaptation in semi­
darkness. An abundance of Vitamin B x (thiamin) promotes good
functioning of the digestive tract. Acute deficiencies result in a dis­
ease of the nervous system called beriberi. Diets without sufficient
provision of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) have been shown to result
in increased susceptibility to infection, and in restlessness and irrita­
bility in children. An acute deficiency in Vitamin C may produce
scurvy, but other symptoms are more common in this country. R ibo­
flavin is essential in the production of an enzyme involved in cell
respiration. Nicotinic acid is the pellagra-preventive factor.
A reconsideration of food records in light of this new yardstick leads
Stiebeling and Phipard to estimate that the diets of perhaps one-fifth
to one-fourth of the families of employed workers in North Atlantic
cities might well be classed as excellent. This proportion is higher
than the 11 percent indicated in the publication cited. The difference
is due chiefly to the fact that the allowances for vitamin A recommended
by the National Research Council's committee were lower than those
which the authors had used in their earlier work in classifying diets
as excellent, good, fair, and poor. In the early evaluation the diets
of only about one-fifth of the families spending $2.50 to $3.12 per
man per week for food met the vitamin A specifications then used for
an excellent diet. Using the new yardstick, 70 percent met the
specifications with reference to vitamin A.
Forty-two percent of the North Atlantic families who provided food
consumption records spent less than $2.50 per person per week; 28
percent spent more than $3.12. Of the remaining 30 percent, it is
estimated that the diets of as many as 8 out of 10 failed to provide
one or more nutrients in quantities as liberal as recommended by the
National Research Council's committee. The food supplies of some
families were short in but one respect. The food supply of others
failed to meet the specifications in a number of respects. While the
diets of only about 30 percent of these families fell short in vitamin A,
about half provided less calcium than is now recommended. About
this same proportion (though not necessarily the same families) had
diets that failed to meet the specifications with respect to vitamin C
and/or with respect to riboflavin.
N o one should assume that all families with diets falling short of
these desirable goals suffer from obvious nutritional deficiencies.
The figures mean, however, that the diets of many of these families
could be improved— the degree dependent upon the extent to which
the diets fall short of optimum. Food plays an important part in
determining the composition of tissues of the body and of the fluids
that bathe the cells, and, therefore, in affecting the “ internal environ­
m ent" in which life processes go on. This environment markedly




EXPENDITURES FOR SPECIFIED GOODS

affects physical and mental vitality. Insofar as immediate or long
term well-being can be improved through dietary betterment, a
person falls short of being truly well fed.
Stiebeling and Phipard found that “ The chances for better diets
increased with rising per capita expenditures for foods. This was
due chiefly to a more liberal use of milk, meat, eggs, leafy green
vegetables, and fruits, when more money was available. But the
quality of the food supply selected by families was by no means only
a matter of level of food expenditure. A t every expenditure level
above a certain minimum, some families succeeded in obtaining
good diets but others procured food only fair or poor, from the stand­
point of nutritive value.” 11

Deficiencies in the consumption of calcium and vitamins A, Bx,
and C are readily understood when the division of actual expenditure
is compared with recommendations for adequate nutrition at expend­
iture levels just above and just below tbe average prevailing in tbis
group.
The relationship between food consumption and health is now so
well established that it must be a matter of general concern that so
large a proportion of this relatively favored group was not using the
foods needed for a nutritionally satisfactory diet. There is abundant
clinical evidence that the vitamins and the minerals listed above are
needed for physical well-being. Part of the consumption deficiencies
just shown could easily be remedied by more widespread knowledge
of nutritional needs, but a considerable part is due to the inadequacy
of the incomes of many families to meet total family needs.

Average expenditures of small-city families for clothing ranged
from $132 in the New Hampshire cities to $172 for Reno families.
Details on clothing expenditures for the New Hampshire cities com ­
bined are given in table 17 of the Tabular Summary. Details are
not available for publication for Marquette, Modesto, and Reno.
In the New Hampshire cities, nearly all of the clothing money was
spent for ready-made clothing, dry cleaning, and accessories. (See
table 9.) Expenditures for materials for home sewing averaged only
$3 per family. N ot included in this figure is the clothing received
as gifts from persons outside the family, which was valued at $5
per family.

Recreation
Tobacco purchases took an important part of the expenditure
classified under the heading of recreation in table 15 of the Tabular
Summary. T obacco expense averaged from $21 to $27 a family in
all of these small cities. Cigarettes accounted for a large share of
this sum. They were bought by one-half or more of the families in
each city group, with purchases of other types of tobacco less numer­
ous. Average expense for reading material, as newspapers, books, and
magazines, ranked next after tobacco in each of the New Hampshire
groups and in Marquette, and moving pictures and other commercial
entertainment, third. A larger proportion of families in Reno and
M odesto than of families in the other cities attended moving pictures
during the year, and total expense for commercial entertainment was
considerably more than in the other cities.
In the New Hampshire cities 7 out of 10 families owned radios, and
in the other small cities, 9 out of 10 families. The proportion pur­
chasing radios and the average expenditure per radio are shown in
table 10. Undoubtedly there was a wide range in the price paid for
radios, but averages as high as these suggest that a number of the
radios purchased were fairly expensive.

TABULAR SUMMARY







Appendix A
Notes on Tabular Summary
General
Economic fam ily.— An “ economic fam ily” as defined for this study
consists of two or more persons living together and sharing their
economic resources. In most cases, the members of an economic
family are related by ties of blood, marriage, or adoption, but in some
cases, an unrelated member 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 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 from home for part of the year,
sharing his income with the family for that period and able to report
all his expenses 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
incotne with the family was listed, the numbers summed, and the total
divided by 52. This procedure yielded the number of equivalent
persons who had made up the family for 1 year.
Household.— The household has been defined to include the members
of the economic family living together in one dwelling, plus roomers
and guests sleeping in the family dwelling, plus boarders and guests
eating with the family. The number of persons in the household was
computed by adding the number of weeks each member of the family
had been part of the fam ily’s housekeeping establishment, the number
of weeks each boarder, lodger, and guest had been with them, and
dividing the total by 52 in order to secure the number of equivalent
persons making up the household for 1 year.
Net fam ily income or net money income.— N et family income has
been defined to mean the sum of earnings (including net receipts from
boarders and lodgers), net rent, interest, dividends, gifts, pensions,
insurance annuities received during the schedule year, minus business
losses and expenses. The money value of income received in kind,

whether from services of the housewife, use of owned home, or from
other sources, has not been included in computing income in this
investigation. No funds received as a result of the depletion of
assets have been treated as income. Similarly, inheritances have
not been regarded as income.
Current expenditures.— 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 sep­
arate 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 frag­
mentary that it would be extremely 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 con­
sumer 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. M oney paid out for life-insurance premiums
has been classified as savings.
The total obligations incurred in the year covered by the schedule
for consumer goods purchased on credit was included in current
expenditures and the amount of the obligation outstanding at the
end of the year was taken into account when computing changes in
liabilities over the 12-month period. For example, the total amount
incurred for an item purchased on the installment plan (original price
plus carrying charges) is entered as the amount of the expenditure,
though the amount paid in the schedule year may be considerably
less than the total contracted for; and the total amount of rents, taxes,
etc., falling due in a year are entered as though paid, though they
have been paid in part or not at all. The unpaid balances owing at
the end of the schedule year on debts contracted during the schedule
year are entered as increases in debts on table 4. Amounts paid
during the schedule year on goods purchased on the installment plan
before the beginning of that year are treated as savings. (See “ Sur­
plus,” p. 145; “ Payment of debts to: Firms selling on installment
plan,” p. 149; and “ Increase in debts: Payable to firms selling on
installment plan,” p. 150.)




APPENDIX A

145

Expenditures as entered on tables are purchase price less trade-in
allowance, in cases where such trade-in allowances were made, for
example, automobile and furniture purchases.
Surplus or deficit.— Surplus or deficit represents the difference
between current income and current expenditures. Since the figures
on both these amounts as secured by the schedule method are subject
to an undetermined error of estimate (see “ Balancing difference,”
p. 146), the surplus and deficit data were obtained by asking in detail
changes in individual asset and liability items over the schedule year.
N et surplus or net deficit was computed as the net difference between
the funds received during the schedule year not used for current ex­
penditures and the funds made available for family use from sources
other than money income (table 4; see also p. 18 of schedule facsimile.1)
It should be noticed that the emphasis is placed on net rather than
gross figures for changes in assets and liabilities. That is, for an
individual family, only net entries were made for an individual
transaction such as a trade of property involving a net payment of
$500. Thus, the net change item is more significant than the absolute
amount either of increase or decrease in assets or increase or decrease
in liabilities.
Surplus.— Surplus, savings, and investment are terms used to mean
net decrease in liabilities and/or increase in assets. This figure appears
as the net change in assets and liabilities (when the total increase in
assets and/or decrease in liabilities is greater than the total decrease
in assets and/or increase in liabilities.) M oney paid on the principal
of real estate mortgages or spent for permanent improvements to real
estate (such as the addition of a room to a house) has been treated
as an increase in assets and hence as investment, as has also money
spent for the purchase of stocks and bonds, building and loan shares,
and other forms of permanent assets. M oney used, for example, for
the payment of installment obligations for an automobile purchased
prior to the schedule year, is treated as decrease in liabilities and
hence as a part of savings. Thus, money used for decreasing the
liabilities of a preceding year, as well as that used to increase assets,
has been treated as savings.
Deficit.— Deficit or negative savings is the term used to mean net
increase in liabilities and/or net decrease in assets. This figure appears
as the net change in assets and liabilities (when the total decrease in
assets and/or increase in liabilities is greater than total increase in
assets and/or decrease in liabilities) and is shown in tables 2 and 5,
of the Tabular Summary. M oney received through the sale of
property, from the settlement or surrender of life-insurance or en­
dowment policies, and repayments by others of the loans made to

1The schedule facsimile may be found in Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulls. 636, 637, and 639 to 641
inclusive.




146

MONEY DISBURSEMENTS---- 13

SMALL CITIES

them have been treated as money resulting from decreases in assets
or changes in their form and thus may form part of deficits or negative
savings, but not of money income. Money borrowed either directly
or as book credit is a form of increase in liabilities and hence may
comprise a part of deficits or negative saving but is definitely not a
part of money income.
Inheritance.— M oney received by inheritance, essentially a windfall,
cannot be treated as income because it is nonrecurring, nor as invest­
ment, because it may be spent during the year, nor can it be regarded
as a decrease in assets in the same sense as withdrawal of savings or
sale of property. Inheritance has, therefore, been treated as an
independent item, forming a part of total receipts and coordinate with
but not a part of current income and net change in assets and liabilities.
It is shown in tables 2, 4, and 5. It includes only cash inheritances
received during the schedule year. Inheritances of property not sold
during the schedule year are not recorded.
Total money receipts.— The term “ total money receipts” has been
used to describe total money income plus deficits or net negative
savings wherever they occur, plus money received through inheritance.
This item is not shown as such in the Tabular Summary but it may
be computed by adding for any desired group of families the following
items: annual money income, net changes in assets and liabilities
where the sign of the net change is minus (—), and inheritance.
Total money disbursements.— The term “ total money disbursements”
has been used to describe total current expenditures plus surpluses
or net savings or investment wherever they occur. This item is not
shown as such in the Tabular Summary but it may be computed by
adding for any desired group of families the following items: annual
current expenditure and net change in assets and liabilities where the
sign of the net change is plus ( + ) .
Balancing difference.— The difference between total disbursements
and total receipts on any schedule was the balancing difference, and
represented discrepancies due to inability of families to recall to the
last penny every financial transaction of the year. No schedule was
accepted in which this difference was greater than 5 percent of the
larger figure.
Schedule year.— All data shown in the tables are for a 12-month
period unless otherwise specified. The data secured from each family
apply to the schedule year prior to the visit of the field investigator,
ending with any one of four specified quarters: the winter quarter
ending February 28, the spring quarter ending M ay 31, the summer
quarter ending August 31, and the fall quarter ending November 30.
Averages based on all families.— All averages unless otherwise speci­
fied in the table are computed by dividing the appropriate aggregate
by the total number of families in the group to which the aggregate




APPENDIX A

147

applies and not by the smaller number of families in that group actu­
ally making the expenditure for or having the indicated item. The
average expenditure per family purchasing a given item may be readily
computed by multiplying the average for all families in the group
by the number of families in the group to obtain the aggregate expendi­
ture and dividing this figure by the number of families purchasing.

Sales tax.— See

appendix A, page 157, for method of handling sales

tax.

T a b l e 1. — D istr ib u tio n o f fa m ilie s , b y econ om ic level and in co m e level

Families have been classified by economic level according to the amount of
current expenditures per expenditure unit, a measure which takes into account
total family expenditure and family size and composition. The explanation of
this measure and its use will be found on page 166.
Families have been classified by income level according to the net family income,
i. e., total family income minus nonfamily losses and business expense.
T a b l e 2 . — D esc rip tio n o f fa m ilie s studied, by econ om ic level

(See also table 5 for the same data by income classification)
For tabulation the classification of occupations was made on the basis of the
Works Progress Administration occupational classification. See appendix B,
page 160.
The hom em aker is the person reporting herself responsible for the management
of the household, or in the case of two-generation families, the wife of the “ head
of the fam ily.”
H o u seh o ld and econom ic f a m i ly are defined on page 143. In this table, a person
in the household or economic family for less than a year is treated as the appro­
priate decimal equivalent of a person.
The equivalent number of persons in the household is computed by adding the
total number of weeks spent in the household by each member of the household,
and dividing the resulting aggregate by 52 (the number of weeks in a year).
Number of equivalent persons in other categories listed in the table are computed
in the same manner.
E a r n in g s. — Earnings include wages, salaries, tips, industrial bonuses, and com­
missions. Amounts deducted by employers for pensions, insurance, annuities,
etc., are included in earnings, and also entered in table 4 as payment of premiums
for insurance policies. If a worker, as for example, in the building trades, pays
a helper, the workers’ earnings are entered as net, i. e., the pay to the helper is
deducted.
N et earnings f r o m boarders and lodgers are gross payments for board and lodging
minus the calculated cost of food for boarders. The cost of boarders’ food is
computed by dividing each family’ s annual food expenditure by the number of
food-expenditure units for all the persons eating in the household; the resulting
food expenditure per food-expenditure unit is then multiplied by the number of
food-expenditure units for boarders.
Other net rents are gross rents received from tenants less current expenditures
paid out by the scheduled family in connection with the rented property.
P e n sio n s and in su ran ce a n n u ities include veterans’ pensions, pensions from
employers, compensation received under workmen’s compensation laws, unem-

ployment benefits from trade-unions, etc., income from annuities purchased, and
benefits from sickness, accident, theft, and fire insurance.
G ifts include mone}^ received from persons not members of the economic family.
Such persons include persons members of the natural but not the economic family.
Other sources o f in co m e include net receipt from sale of home produce, winnings
from gambling, court settlements, payment for child support, rebates, and dividend
checks received on purchases bought through cooperative organizations, etc. In
those cases in which a worker away from home received a cash subsistence allow­
ance, the allowance was entered as other money income and the expenditures for
meals, lodging, etc., were included in the proper expenditure tables. This case
would be distinguished from that in which a salesman, for example, received an
allowance for mileage; in such a case the travel expenditure was considered business
expense and no entry was made either for expenditure or corresponding income
with the exception that net gains on such an account are entered as other money
income.
D ed u ctio n s f r o m in co m e (bu sin ess losses and expen ses) includes nonfamily losses,
i. e., net losses on rented property (current expenditures for property minus gross
rents received) and current expenditures on any unrented real estate other than
own home, etc., and net losses on traveling or subsistence allowance, and any
other business expenses.
Nonbusiness losses, i. e., family losses, are not deducted from income but are
treated as other family expenditures in table 16. For example, contents of a
purse lost, or bail forfeited which had been posted for a friend, are treated as
miscellaneous family expenditure.

The nu m ber o f gainful workers per fa m i l y is the total number of persons gainfully
employed at any time during the year. Each person is counted as one regardless
of the length of his employment. The definition differs from that of the “ gain­
fully occupied” as used by the census in that a person continuously unemployed
throughout the year is not counted as a gainful worker. On the other hand, a
person is so counted even if his earnings were occasional and he does not neces­
sarily regard himself as regularly in the labor market.
The c h ie f earner is the member with the largest money earnings.

share of stock is entered as “ Increase in assets: Investment in: Stocks and bonds,”
but increase in the value of a share owned but not sold during the year is not
recorded.
For each individual family only the net amount of the change in any individual
item, where the items correspond in the two tables, is entered on the schedule.
For instance, if a family deposits $200 in a savings account during the year and
withdraws $250, an entry of $50 is made under “ Decrease in assets: Reduction in
cash: In savings account,” and no entry is made under “ Increase in assets:
Increase in cash: In savings account.” The aggregate upon which the average
for the item “ Decrease in assets: Reduction in cash: In savings account,” in
table 4, is based is then the sum of the net reductions of savings account balances
of all families having net reductions in their savings account balances. Similarly
the aggregate upon which the average for the item “ Increase in assets: Increase
in cash: In savings account” is based is the sum of the net increase in savings
account balances of all families having net increases in their savings account
balances.
A transaction affecting two different items, such as the payment of a mortgage
and the receipt of a loan with which to make the payment, is generally not entered
as a single net amount, but the total amounts of both the payment and the loan
are entered separately.
It should be noted that not all items in the two sections of the table correspond.
Payments of premiums of insurance policies are listed under “ Average amount of
funds disposed in: Increase in assets.” The corresponding item, receipts in the
form of annuities, is not listed under “ Average amount of funds received from:
Decrease in assets,” but is entered in tables 2 and 5, under “ Receipts.”
Money
from the sale of goods and chattels is entered in table 4, but purchases of goods
and chattels are entered in the appropriate expenditure tables.
Money from
inheritances is entered in table 4, but contrasting payments by the family sched­
uled (bequests to nonmembers) are listed under current expenditures as “ Gifts
and contributions” (table 16).
In vestm en t i n : Im p ro v e m e n t in ow n hom e includes permanent improvements such
as the addition of a porch or room, or installation of wiring for electricity. Repairs
and replacements are not considered improvements, and are entered in table 10
as current housing expenditures.
In vestm en t i n : Other real estate including real estate m ortgages includes both
improvements made on and purchase of real estate other than owned home.
This item also includes purchase by the scheduled family of real estate mortgages.
P a y m e n t o f p rem iu m s f o r in su ran ce policies includes amounts deducted from
wages for company insurance; trade-union dues when these entitled the payer to
insurance benefits; payments to other organizations when they entitled the payer
to insurance benefits; payments for combined life and sickness and disability
insurance when the amounts assignable to sickness and disability insurance are
considered the smaller part of the total; “ burial insurance” and payments to burial
societies; and payments for life-insurance premiums for persons not members of
the economic family.
In crea se in outstanding loans to others includes increase in loans to any persons
not members of the economic family.
P a y m e n t o f debts to: F ir m s selling on installm ent plan includes only payments

schedule year on charge accounts, taxes, assessments, etc.
Sale o f p r o p erty: G oods and chattels does not include articles “ traded in” on the
purchase. When, for instance, an allowance was made for the trade-in of an old
ice box in the purchase of a refrigerator, the amount of the allowance is not
entered in any of the tables and the expenditure shown for the refrigerator (in
table 18) is the price less the allowance. The same procedure was followed, for
automobiles, radios, and other items for which articles were “ traded in” for credit.
In crea se in liabilities includes debts incurred during the schedule year even
though these were later wiped out by bankruptcy proceedings.
In crea se in debts: P a y a b le to firm s selling on insta llm ent plan includes balances
due at the end of the schedule year on goods purchased on installment during the
schedule year. For example, if a family incurred a bill of $250 during the schedule
year for a suite of furniture purchased on the installment plan and paid install­
ments totaling $150 during the year, having a balance still owing of $100 at the
end of the schedule year, the following entries would appear: In table 18, current
expenditure for furniture suite, $250; in table 4, increase in debts payable to firms
selling on installment plan, $100.
In crea se in debts: P a y a b le to in divid u als includes unpaid debts incurred during

In order to avoid overburdening the housewives who cooperated in the study
the details of food purchases were requested only for the week preceding the
agent’s visit. In most cities the field work extended over more than one season.
The differences between the averages secured in the several quarters in such in­
stances reflect not only seasonal differences in food purchases, but also accidental
differences in the economic level and the national backgrounds of the families in
the subsamples interviewed in the different quarters. It was therefore decided to
publish in full for each city only the estimates for that season in which data were
secured from the largest number of families.
The number of equivalent full-time persons shown in table 7 is obtained by
counting the total number of persons eating 21 meals at home during the week
as the appropriate decimal equivalent of a person. A lunch prepared at home
but carried and eaten away from home is included as a meal eaten at home.




APPENDIX A

151

For the method of obtaining the number of food-expenditure units, see appendix
D , page 166.
The quantities and expenditures entered in table 7 are for all food purchased
for use by the household at home or prepared at home to be taken out during the
week, including that for boarders, guests, and servants.
Data were obtained for each of the following items— “ number of families pur­
chasing/’ “ number of families using,” “ average quantity purchased,” “ average
quantity used” — as well as “ expenditure.” Since the quantities purchased and
quantities used in 1 week were in the great majority of cases identical, only data on
quantities purchased are presented in table 7. These figures may be compared
with the figures on expenditure. Likewise, for most, although not all of the
food items, the number of families purchasing and the number using was the
same. Because of limitation of printing space, only the figures for families
using are presented, they being needed to obtain a complete picture of food con­
sumption habits of the families studied.
If comparisons are made between expenditures for quantities of foods at dif­
ferent economic levels, it should be noted that the composition of the families
changes from one level to another. There are in general a larger proportion of
adults at the higher economic levels. Since human needs for and customary
consumption of various specific foods vary considerably for persons of different
age and sex and occupation, it becomes impossible to make a strict comparison
of food consumption with needs at the different economic levels. Thus the needs
for carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, etc., increase in differing ratios for different
sex-age groups; children’s need for milk is approximately twice as great as that for
adults, while the need of heat-producing foods (starches and sugars) of adults is
about twice as great as that of children. Children’ s meat consumption varies
from that of adults at a still different rate. In order to secure figures on quanti­
ties of and expenditures for individual foods purchased 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.
Expenditures or quantity per food-expenditure unit may be computed by
multiplying the average expenditure or quantity per person shown by the aver­
age number of persons per family and dividing the product by the average num­
ber of food-expenditure units per family. However, in interpreting such results,
the factor pointed out in the preceding paragraph must be considered, namely
that a single food relative scale cannot be correctly descriptive of needs of persons
of different sex and age for varying types of specific foods.
In considering quantities purchased it must be remembered that “ pounds”
are a measure of weight only, not of nutritional equivalence.

the family's dwelling unit during the entire schedule year.
No attempt was
made by the field agents to determine whether or not a facility met any defined
standard either as to quality or as to state of repair.
A verage m onthly rental rate is the rental rate for the house inhabited by the
family at the end of the schedule year. (Note that this rate is not necessarily
the same as that shown in table 10, Housing expenditures, which is the average
rate paid throughout the year.)
A detached house is free, standing with open space on all sides; a sem idetached
house has open space on three sides; a row house has open space on two sides;
a tw o -fa m ily house is one designed for occupancy by two families, one above
the other.
M u ltip le dw elling. — A building designed for occupancy by three or more families
has been classed as a multiple dwelling.
G arden sp ace is defined as space actually devoted to a garden or to a lawn on
the premises or belonging to the dwelling.

The type and amount of expenditure by a family for housing necessarily vary
with type of tenure, dwelling, and manner of payment for heating. Separate
sections of the table are therefore presented for families who can be classified
into homogeneous groups with respect to housing expenditures. These are: II,
“ Home owners” ; III, “ House renters” ; IV , “ Apartment renters with heat included
in rent” ; V, “ Apartment renters with heat not included in rent.” Families whose
housing arrangements changed during the year are not shown separately, but
are included in section I, “ All families in survey.” Section I therefore includes
families shown in sections II, III, IV, and V, and families with the following
housing arrangements: Owning a principal home during part of the year and
renting a principal home during part of the year; having as a principal home a
house for a part of the year and an apartment for a part of the year; renting as
principal home an apartment with heat included in rent for a part of the year
and an apartment with heat not included in rent for a part of the year.
A vacation hom e is one which the family has for vacation purposes, and rents or
owns simultaneously with its principal home. Simultaneous rental or ownership
of a vacation home does not exclude families in sections II, III, IV, and V.
In vestm en t in hom e includes down payments, payment of principal on mortgages,
and permanent improvements (not repairs) on home.
In cases where the home owned and occupied by the family was a two-family
house, only that portion of the investment or expenditure which applied to the
owner’s own living quarters has been included under “ Average amount invested”
or “ Average current housing expenditure.”
The proportions used in making
this allocation were based on the comparative monthly rental values of the two
dwellings under consideration. The amount of housing expenditure allocated to
the rented portion of the house was deducted from the gross rent received from
the tenant to arrive at “ Other net rents” (tables 2, and 5). The amount of the
investment allocated to the rented portion of the house was entered as “ Invest­
ment in other real estate” (table 4).
T a xes. — Amounts due on “ taxes” or “ rent” are entered under these respective
headings even if unpaid at the end of the schedule year. The amounts unpaid
at the end of the schedule year are also entered in table 4 as “ Increase in debts:
Other debts.”
F ir e in su ran ce and lia bility in su ra n ce. — No attempt was made to prorate pay­
ments for previous or coming years. The total amount paid during the year was
considered current expenditure.




APPENDIX A

Rent .— The rent reported covered the use of such facilities as heat, light,
furniture, and water when these were provided by the landlord.
Families living in rented homes and subrenting portions as apartments were
scheduled provided there were separate meters for gas and electricity, that heat
costs could be estimated, and that not more than two families (including the
scheduled family) had dwellings there. In such cases only that amount of the
rent, operating expenditures, and expenditure for repairs which applied to the
portion of the house occupied by the scheduled family was entered. The remain­
ing expenditures for rent, operating, and repairs were deducted from the gross
rent received from the tenant to arrive at “ Other net rents” (tables 2 and 5).
The proportions used in allocating housing expenditure between the two families
were based on the comparative rental rates of the two dwellings.
No attempt was made to allocate the cost of space rented to roomers.
Concessions are defined as the money value of rent given free by the landlord
for a short time as an inducement to the family to rent the living quarters or to
offset the expense of moving.
Apartments are defined as dwellings in multiple dwellings or in two-family
houses designed for occupancy by two families, one above the other.
(See notes
on table 9, p. 152.) A dwelling consisting of rooms set apart for the use of the
scheduled family within a house originally designed for occupancy by one family
was also classed as an apartment.
Room s .— In the count of the number of rooms, dining rooms, living rooms,
bedrooms, libraries, sewing rooms, kitchens, kitchenettes, and enclosed porches
are included. Halls, closets, storerooms, pantries, open porches, laundries,
alcoves, rooms used for business purposes, dinettes, and bathrooms are not
included.

11.— Fuel , light, and refrigeration expenditures , by economic level

The type and amount of expenditure by a family for fuel, light, and refrigera­
tion necessarily vary with type of dwelling and manner of payment for heating.
Separate sections of the table are therefore presented for families whose expendi­
tures for fuel, light, and refrigeration may be considered homogeneous. Families
whose type of dwelling or arrangement for payment for heating changed during
the year are not shown separately but are in section I, “ All families in survey.”
Section I therefore includes families shown in sections II, III, IV, and V and
families with the following arrangements for type of dwelling or payment for
heating: Having a house part of the year and an apartment for part of the year;
having heat included in rent or ownership payments during part of the year and
not so included during part of the year; renting a home for part of the year and
owning a home for part of the year.
It should be noted that several items listed in this table might have been used
for purposes other than heating, cooking, lighting, and refrigeration. For in­
stance, electricity is used for radios, curling irons, etc.; gasoline is used for cleaning.

incurred for an illness but were not sure of the correct allocation among such
items as physicians’ services, hospital room, operating room charges, and medi­

tonsillectomy were prorated among the services received. Where information
for such prorating could not be furnished, the entire charge was entered as expendi­
ture for general practitioner, specialist, or clinic, as the case might be. Therefore
expenditures for total medical care are probably more accurate than expenditures
for individual items of medical service.

All figures in table 17 with the exception of those in section I are based upon
data for persons dependent on family funds for 52 weeks. Expenditures for
persons dependent on family funds for less than 52 weeks are not shown in the
sections for different sex and age groups but are included in the total shown in
section I. These expenditures have been excluded from the detailed sections for
the reason that clothing expenditures for a person dependent on family funds for
only part of the year would be unrepresentative, since the family might buy all
or none of the year’s clothing supply for that person during the period he was
dependent on family funds.
For computation of averages other than those presented in this table, for
example, “ average number of articles purchased per person purchasing” or
“ average expenditure per person purchasing” see appendix A— Notes on table 17,

Appendix B
Selection of Families to be Interviewed
The Method of Choosing the Sample
The method to be used in choosing the sample to be included in a
study of the families of employed wage earners and clerical workers
presents a serious problem in the absence of a recent census giving for
every family, at each address, the occupation of all the earners in the
family, and the relief status of the family in the last year. Since no
census data were available for use in this investigation, it was decided
to use employers’ current lists of employees as the basis for sampling
in all the cities where the study was carried on. The methods used
differed from city to city only insofar as the available data on the
names and addresses of employers, and the number of their employees
differed from city to city.
In order to provide for an adequate representation of establishments
of all types the number of employees in an organization was taken
into account in drawing the sample. Wherever possible a complete
list of the employers within the city area with the number of their
employees was secured, including industrial establishments, banks,
insurance companies, wholesale and retail distributors, hotels and
restaurants, transportation companies, public utilities, and Federal,
State, county, and city Governments. The names of the employers
with the numbers of their employees were arranged by industry, and
the numbers of employees were added in such a way as to secure
cumulative totals.
In cities where it was possible to obtain complete lists of employers,
the grand total of employees was divided by the number of families
planned for the survey in the given city, to obtain a sampling ratio.
This ratio was applied to the cumulative totals of employees on the
employer list (beginning with a number chosen at random) to secure
a new list of employer names, selected at random, and the number of
sample employee names to be drawn from the personnel lists of each
selected employer. In cities where complete lists of employers were
not available, separate sampling ratios were derived for each industrial
or trade group, following the same procedure for each group as out­
lined above for the city as a whole. This procedure was adopted to
prevent underrepresentation of a given industry or trade group due to
158




APPENDIX B

159

the fact that its list of employers was incomplete, and permitted a
reasonable distribution of the sample among the various lines of
business on the basis of 1930 census data adjusted to take account
of known changes in business conditions since 1930.
Since the employer lists did not give the information necessary to
determine whether employees were members of families, whether their
families had been on relief during the past year, and what was the
amount of the family income, at least five names listed directly after
the name of the “ sample employee” were drawn, to provide for sub­
stitutes in case the first employee whose name was drawn had no
family or his famliy was not eligible for the sample. (See p. 159 for
rules for determining eligibility.) If the name of the “ sample”
employee to be chosen from a given employer’s list was drawn too
near to the end of the list to secure the five or more substitute names
in the usual way, the quota of substitutes was completed by taking
the names at the beginning of the list of employees in the same
establishment.
The necessity for having a file of substitute names made it seem
advisable to limit the sampling to employers of five or more workers in
the smaller cities and 10 or more in the larger cities, since the time and
funds available for drawing the sample were limited, and visiting
employers for the purpose of drawing sample names was a very
time-consuming process.
Rules for Determining Eligibility of Families
After the sample names had been drawn in the manner outlined
above, field agents were sent to visit the families of all the employees
whose names were the first drawn for each number ascertained by
application of the sampling ratios. A schedule was obtained from
that family if it was willing and able to furnish the information and
met the requirements specified below. If the family failed to meet
any of the following specifications, or was fo;r some reason unwilling
to give the information, the family of the employee whose name had
occurred immediately next on the list of the same employer was
visited. If the family of the second employee proved ineligible, the
third was visited, and so on.
1. Contact through chief earner.—When families are selected by
names of individuals from lists of employees, multiple-earner families
would be overrepresented unless some measure was taken to prevent
it. A family with three earners on the lists of employees would have
approximately three chances 1 to be drawn in the sample as against
one chance for the family with one earner. Since families with sev­
eral earners are more likely to have higher incomes and less likely to
1 See Bureau of Labor Statistics Bull. No. 641, appendix G, p. 384, footnote 8.




160

MONEY DISBURSEMENTS---- 13

SMALL CITIES

have young children than are families with only one earner, such over­
exposure would have impaired the representativeness of the sample.
In order to prevent such overrepresentation in the cities studied,
two methods were employed, either of which reduced to equality the
chance of each family to be included in the final sample. In
Modesto and Reno, schedules were secured only from families in which
the name of the employee drawn from the lists of employees was the
name of the chief earner in the family, i. e., member earning the largest
amount of money during the year. If a visit to the family disclosed
that a name of a member other than that of the chief earner had been
drawn, the family was not scheduled. Since a family can have only
one chief earner, this procedure effectively equalized the chances of
inclusion in the sample for all families. By this method the number
of families with more than one earner in the sample was kept to a
number proportionate to the number of multiple-earner families in the
entire wage earner and lower-salaried clerical group. In the New
Hampshire cities and Marquette, the alternative procedure was used:
a family was scheduled regardless of whether the name drawn from
the employee list was that of the chief earner and an adjustment was
made in the course of tabulation of the data to correct for this possible
overrepresentation .2
2.
Occupation of chief earner.— In each family included in the survey,
the chief earner is either a wage earner or a lower-salaried clerical
worker. The classification of occupations according to economic
groups presented by A. M. Edwards 3 in an article based on census
data was used in determining whether a person of given occupation
should be considered a wage earner or a clerical worker. An exception
was made in that the chief earner might not be a foreman, overseer,
or domestic servant in private families, although these occupations
are treated as wage earners in the Edwards classification. As the
study progressed, the need for a more detailed classification of jobs
became^ urgent. When the Works Progress Administration issued a
manual giving more detailed specifications adapted from definitions
of the census of 1930, the new classifications4 were employed to
assist in the problem of determining whether a specific type of work
should properly be treated as part of the occupational group being
covered by this investigation. The investigation included families of
chief earners in the groups classified as office workers, salesmen, and
kindred workers; skilled and semiskilled workers in building and

construction; skilled and semiskilled workers in manufacturing and
other industries; and unskilled laborers and domestic and personal
service workers (except in private families). In a few instances where
the chief earner was found to have pursued two occupations during
the year prior to the visit of the field investigator, one an occupation
classified as wage earner or clerical, and the other as a profession or
as the proprietor of owned business, it was ruled that the family was
to be included in the study unless the earnings from the profession
exceeded the earnings from the wage-earner or clerical occupation, or
unless the income from the owned business was more than one-half
the earnings from the wage-earner or clerical occupation, or the
expenses of the business could not be separated from the family
expenses.
3. Earnings of chief earner.— No family in which the chief earner
had not earned at least $300 during the schedule year was included.
The family of a chief earner classified as a clerical worker, who earned
$2,000 or over during the schedule year, or $200 or over during any
one month, was excluded. No upper limit was placed on the earnings
of wage earners, nor on total earnings of all members of the family
combined, i. e., on family income as such.
4. Occupation and income of subsidiary earners.— No restriction
was placed upon the occupation of subsidiary earners with one ex­
ception noted below. A family in which there was a subsidiary earner
who was, for example, a professional worker or domestic servant in a
private home was included provided the annual earnings of this worker
were less than those of the chief earner. Families were excluded if a
subsidiary earner was in business for himself and his business income
and expenditure were so intermingled with the family’s that it was
impossible to separate them (as for example, a family where the wife
carried on a small hair-dressing business in or adjacent to the family’s
living quarters and used for the business, gas and electricity recorded
on the same meters as those recording the gas and electricity used for
the operation of the household). Families in which a subsidiary
earner was in business for himself were included if the business income
and expenditure could be separated from that of the family and the
net income from the owned business was less than half of the chief
earner’s earnings.
If a subsidiary earner was a clerical worker and earned over $2,000
during the schedule year or over $200 during any one month, the fam­
ily was ineligible for inclusion in the sample.
5. Employment minimum.— In order to avoid the distortion of
spending which results from prolonged unemployment and unantici­
pated curtailment of employment the Study was limited to employed
wage earners and lower-salaried clerical workers. Figures as to the
number of days of employment characteristic of wage earners and




162

M ONEY DISBURSEMENTS---- 13

SMALL CITIES

clerical workers not being available, it was necessary to set limits be­
low which a worker could not be regarded as having been employed for
the schedule year. Only those families were included in which one
wage earner or lower-salaried clerical worker within the economic fam­
ily had worked a minimum of 1,008 hours spread over a minimum of 36
weeks during the year. (This minimum was chosen to represent an
average employment of 3% days of 8 hours in each of 36 weeks.) Fami­
lies in which the chief earner was employed in distinctly seasonal indus­
tries as clothing manufacturing and building were scheduled if the chief
earner had employment for as much as 28 hours in each of 30 weeks.
These minima, however, are not to be regarded as criteria representing
adequate employment.
6. Definition of fam ily .— The Study was limited to private economic
families of two or more persons sharing their incomes and living
together, sharing the same table, eating not less than two meals a
day prepared at home for at least 11 months. In addition families
whose situation during the year just previous to the visit of the
Bureau’s investigator was difficult or impossible to analyze on a
statistical basis were excluded from the survey. Specific reasons for
such exclusion were as follows:
{a) The homemaker worked away from home both day and night
for more than 78 days in the year.
(ib) Families boarding for more than 1 month.
(c) Presence of more than the equivalent of two boarders and/or
lodgers, i. e., more than 104 boarder and/or lodger weeks (not includ­
ing related persons giving complete records of their incomes and
expenditures).
(d) Families having guests for more than the equivalent of 26 guest
weeks.5
(e) Families having another family or two unrelated dependent
persons over 21 years of age living with them and completely de­
pendent on them (unless the dependents were parents of the home­
maker, husband, or chief earner).
7. Families not on relief.—No families who received direct relief or
work relief during the schedule year were included.
8. Family income.— (a) No family was included which had an
annual family income less than $500 during the schedule year.
(6) No upper limit was placed upon family income as such but no
families were included who received more than one-fourth of their
incomes from interest, dividends, royalties, speculative gains, or rents
(not including net receipts from boarders and lodgers).
(c)
No family which received income from an owned business equal
to more than half of the chief earner’s earnings was scheduled.
5
Guests were defined as persons not entirely dependent on the family funds who received board and
lodging from the family without money payment but from whom it was impossible to secure data on income
and expenditures.




APPENDIX B

163

(«d) No family which received gifts or income in kind of a value
equal to a fourth of its total money income was scheduled.
(e) No family which received rent in payment for services was
scheduled.
(f) No family which received 3 months or more free rent was
scheduled.
9.
Residence.— Families must have resided in the area of the
investigation for 9 months or more.




Appendix G
Field Procedure
Interview Method of Securing Data
The original data for this report came from families who estimated
and calculated their various expenditures, with the help of special
forms interpreted by trained field workers. The investigators were
provided with a schedule which called for the entry of data on income
and outgo in considerable detail, partly because the details themselves
are of value and partly because it is easier for informants to remember
the individual items of their family transactions than it is to provide
the investigator with summary figures. This method was used rather
than asking the families to keep records of disbursements at the time
disbursements were made, because the procedure followed makes
possible the inclusion of many families who would have been unwilling
or unable to keep regular household accounts. (For facsimile of
schedule used, see Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletins 636, 637, and
639 to 641.)
•
No schedule was accepted for summarization in the present study
unless the figures on total money receipts and total money disburse­
ments agreed at least within 5 percent of the larger figure. It is not to
be hoped that all the figures in each schedule were accurate to that
extent, but there is no reason to suppose any persistent bias in the
estimates has appeared in the course of the survey.
Check-Interviewing
At the beginning of the field work one out of every five schedules
submitted by each agent was checked by one of the supervisors in an
interview with the family having originally provided the schedule data.
The Washington office provided the field office with specific instruc­
tions concerning the methods of handling the check-interviews. The
schedules to be checked were chosen at radom. The name of the
agent making the first call was not known to the check-interviewer,
thus eliminating any possible personal bias. In returning to the
family for a check-interview, the investigator provided the informant,
usually the homemaker, with a brief summary of the family expendi­
tures and the balance of receipts and disursements, checked it with
her, and checked also the details of some section of the schedule,
selected at random.
164




APPENDIX C

165

Later in the course of the field work, when the check-interviews dis­
closed that certain agents were having difficulty in obtaining accurate
information, a larger proportion of the schedules collected by these
particular agents was checked. When the check showed that the
work of certain agents was very accurate, only 1 out of 10 schedules
was verified by a return interview. As the work progressed, relief
workers whose schedules had proven wholly reliable were advanced
to the position of check-interviewers.
Food Check Lists for 1 Week
Previous experience in collecting statistics on the details of annual
food expenditures has shown the difficulty of securing reliable estimates
of the year’s purchases. The schedule for this investigation was,
therefore, prepared with two sections dealing with food expenditures.
The first was in effect a check list providing in detail for the entry of
the quantities of foods purchased and used, and expenditures for foods
in the week immediately preceding the interview. The second section
was prepared to contain a summary of food expenditures during the
year. The section for entry of foods during 1 week (which listed over
194 foods) served two purposes. It secured from each family detailed
estimates of food purchases with as high a degree of accuracy as is
possible unless supervised records of purchases are obtained, and it
served to remind the homemaker of her customary expenditures, thus
making it easier to estimate the family’s total outlay for food in the
four quarters of the year covered by the schedule.




Appendix D
Analytical Procedure
Income Classification
Data on family composition, earnings and income, and group ex­
penditures are summarized by income levels at $300 intervals to pro­
vide a basis for comparison of the results from this investigation with
earlier studies.
Classification by Economic Level
The analysis of data on family expenditure is complicated by the
fact that, although, in general, the family spends as a unit, families
are not comparable units, because of variation in size and age com­
position. A family of two adults with an income of $1,200 is obvi­
ously on an economic plane considerably higher than a family of six
adults with the same income. Statistical analyses of the expenditures
of a sample of families chosen at random is further complicated by
the fact that in most cities the size of the family among wage earners
and clerical workers increases as income increases, as larger family
incomes are more apt to come from increases in the number of earners,
than from the higher wages of the husband.
To meet these difficulties as well as to take into account the fact
that* consumer demand varies with age, sex, and occupation, the
families were sorted according to economic level as measured by
amount spent per total-expenditure unit. To ascertain the eco­
nomic level of each family the first difficulty arose in the necessity of
taking into account the variations in consumer demand within each
family due to differences in family composition.
Expenditure Unit— Food Relatives
The problem was met in the present investigation by computing
separately for food, clothing, and for other items, the customary
expenditure of persons of different age, sex, and occupation. The
scale used in computing the relative expenditure for individuals for
food was based on data secured from the Bureau of Home Economics,
showing quantities of food estimated as actually consumed by persons
of different age, sex, and physical activity. These estimates were
based partly on the energy requirements of persons of different age,
sex, and occupation, and partly on data on actual food consumption
of families of urban wage earners and clerical workers. (To have
secured an adequate number of records of the actual food consumption
of individuals for this purpose would have required an expenditure
far beyond the resources of either of the Bureaus concerned.)
166




167

APPENDIX D

It was necessary to convert estimated quantities of food consumed
by persons of different age and sex into estimated food costs. This
was done by multiplying these quantities of food by retail food prices
to find the ratio which expenditures for women and boys of various
age groups bore to expenditures for full-time employed men aged
20 and over. The problem arose as to whether the prices used as
multipliers should be individual city prices or averages for the United
States. A test was conducted on a sample of 12 cities where the Study
was in process in the winter of 1935. For each of these cities, the
same quantities of food were multiplied by the respective retail food
prices for the given city. It was found that, despite the use of varying
prices from city to city, the relative expenditures for women and
children bore approximately the same ratio to those for employed
men in each city. It was therefore decided to use, for all 12 of these
cities, a scale of consumer expenditure for food based on United
States average prices in 1934. The same procedure was followed for
all other cities, with adjustment for changes in food prices as the
investigation advanced. The food expenditure scales were recalcu­
lated on the basis of average prices in the year ending May 31, 1935,
and on average prices in the calendar year 1935, and these food rela­
tives were used for schedules in cities where the field work was
completed later. Within a given city, where field work extended over
a considerable period, each schedule was coded with the food relatives
for the period most nearly corresponding to the schedule year.

Expenditure Unit—Clothing Relatives
The data secured in the present investigation were used as the basis
for computing the scales of expenditure for clothing of persons of
different age, sex, and occupation. The average annual clothing
expenditures of white men wage earners and clerical workers, 21
through 35 years old, in all the large cities covered in the present
study were $56.68. This amount is regarded as unity (1.00) in
arriving at standard scales of expenditure for persons of other ages,
sex, or occupation. In the following table average clothing expendi­
tures of each class of persons are expressed as percentages of the
average clothing expenditures of this group of employed men.

1 Data based on white families in 42 cities combined.

Since it was necessary to begin the coding and the tabulation of
the schedules before the field work was completed, the computations
of unit clothing expenditure 1 were at first made on the basis of pre­
liminary scales computed from the clothing-expenditure data in the
schedules available at the time for the given city or group of cities
within a region. After the field work had been terminated and the
tabulation completed for all 42 cities, the scales given in the foregoing
table were constructed on the basis of data for all these cities, all of
which had populations over 50,000.
It was desired that the scales should represent only those differences
in clothing expenditure which are due to the three factors (age, sex,
and occupation) which were being measured in the computation of the
scales. To compute the scales, after elimination of the influence of

the other variables of family income and family size in the computa­
tions, the following steps were taken.
(1) Cards representing each person in all the families studied in
cities with populations over 50,000 were sorted into cells such that all
persons classified in a given cell were from families with the same
income and of the same size; and the group of persons whose clothing
expenditure was being studied were of the same age, sex, and occu­
pation.
(2) The average clothing expenditure for all the persons in each
cell was then computed.
(3) These averages were then combined for each age-sex-occupation
group. In making this combination, each age-sex-occupation group
within each family-income family-size class was given the same weight.
These weights were determined by the number of persons in each
family-income family-size cell for all age-sex-occupation groups com­
bined. The resulting averages for each age-sex-occupation group are
the averages that would have been obtained if the distribution of
persons by family income and family size had been the same in each
age-sex-occupation group. The procedure followed in combining
averages by the use of constant weights is similar to the procedure of
a standard population frequently used by biologists in attempting to
compare rates while eliminating differences caused by differing dis­
tributions by sex, age, marital status, etc. (cf. Raymond Pearl,
Medical Biometry and Statistics, Philadelphia and London, 1930, ch.
IX, “ Standardized and corrected death rates/’ pp. 265-277).
(4) For each sex-occupation group there was now a series of
average clothing expenditures for each age. These results were
smoothed to eliminate minor irregulatities.
(5) Absolute clothing expenditures at each age were converted to
relatives by dividing the smoothed averages for each sex-occupation
group for each age by the smoothed average expenditure for employed
men aged 21 through 35.
The revised scales developed on this basis are still subject to the
limitations of the nature of the population sampled, but they represent
what seem to be the most definitive scales yet available showing effec­
tive demand for clothing among families of wage earners and clerical
workers.
The revised scales were used to recode and reclassify the schedules
for unit expenditure 2 in order to test the magnitude of the differences
2
By unit expenditure is meant total amount of family expenditure per expenditure unit. The unit
expenditure, which is used as synonymous with “ economic level” and with “ amount spent per expenditure
unit,” is the sum of the following three items:
1. Unit food expenditure, or total family food expenditure per food-expenditure unit;
2. Unit clothing expenditure, or total family clothing expenditure per clothing-expenditure unit;
3. Per capita “ other” expenditure, or total family expenditure for all items, save food and clothing,
per person in the economic family for 52 weeks.

in final results which would have been obtained had the revised scales
been used at the outset. The new distribution of families was not
substantially different from the distribution for which the preliminary
clothing scales were used. Since clothing expenditures represent a
fairly small proportion, ranging from one-eighth to one-tenth, of
family expenditures, it will be seen that even a fairly large revision in
the clothing expenditure scales would yield only a slight change in
total unit expenditure. The nature of the process will be clear from
the sample code sheet, p. 172. Consequently, the distribution of
families by economic level did not shift much with the introduction
of revised relative clothing-expenditure scales. Since, upon analysis,
the changes were not found to be important, in all tables in the
Tabular Summary and in the text, the distribution of families by
economic level remains as it was established by the coding based,
among other elements (see sample code sheet, p. 172), on the prelim­
inary relative clothing-expenditure scales.
The revised clothing scales did, however, produce a more pro­
nounced change in the item “ average number of clothing-expenditure
units per family, ” and correspondingly in the figure “ unit clothing
expenditure.” 3 The figure for “ average number of clothing-expendi­
ture units per fam ily/’ based on the revised scales, is therefore used
throughout in the Tabular Summary. Correspondingly the figure
“ average number of expenditure units” 4 per family, whenever it
appears in the Tabular Summary, is based, among other elements
including food and “ other” expenditure, upon unit clothing expendi­
ture computed from the revised relative clothing-expenditure scales.
The item “ average number of clothing-expenditure units” or “ aver­
age number of expenditure units” or both, occurs in tables 2, 3, 5,
and 6 of the Tabular Summary.
The change in “ average number of expenditure units” resulting
from use of the revised scales was much smaller than the change in
“ average number of clothing-expenditure units” for the reason dis­
cussed in a preceding paragraph on the small change in the distribu­
tion of cases according to unit expenditure. Nevertheless, the figure
on the revised basis appears in the Tabular Summary since it is
consistent with the revised figure for clothing expenditure units.
The latter figure is published rather than the preliminary figure
since it is believed, after extensive analysis and experimentation, that
it represents a better approximation, based on more complete data
and a more satisfactory summary technique, to a definitive answer to
the question: How does the clothing demand or customary clothing
3
This figure is not published in the Tabular Summary but the reader may compute it by dividing the
average total family clothing expenditure for any group by the average number of clothing-expenditure
units per family in that group.
* This figure is derived by dividing total family expenditure by total unit expenditure. The computation
of this latter figure was explained in footnote 2, p. 169. Also see sample code sheet, p. 172.

need of one family of given composition compare with that of another
family of different composition? Lacking any absolute scale of
clothing need, any such scale of clothing expenditure can, at best, only
be an approximation. Nevertheless, the figures set forth on the basis
of the revised scales are presented as the result of considerable study
and experimentation as the most definitive yet available (granted the
assumptions that age, sex, and occupation do create real differences in
the social situation of individuals, which in turn affect their need to
make clothing expenditures as much or more to meet social custom as
for reasons of health). A further reason for presenting the revised
clothing expenditure unit figures is that the figures stand as such inde­
pendently of any other figures in the tables. That is, since the pre­
liminary figures were used simply as a means to classification of cases
and nowhere in the tabulations as an end product, the presentation of
revised figures for this one item in no way disturbs the usefulness of
the other items not affected by the revision.
Expenditure U n it— Other Items

Any attempt to compute customary expenditures on items other
than food and clothing for persons of different age, sex, and occupa­
tion in the wage-earner and clerical groups would have required
securing data on the expenditures for individuals in greater detail
than seemed practical. It was, therefore, decided to compute expen­
diture per adult male equivalent for “ other items” on the assumption
that in actual practice with a given income a family divides the use
of its goods, and its expenditures for all items other than food and
clothing, about equally among the members of the family.
Total Expenditure U nit

In finally computing the amount spent per total-expenditure unit
for a given family, three measures of family size were calculated, one
in terms of food-expenditure units (i. e., food relatives), another in
terms of clothing-expenditure units (i. e., clothing relatives,) and a
third in terms of equivalent full-time members of the economic family
(i. e., a relative of 1.00 for each member in the economic family
for 52 weeks). In computing each of these measures for an individual,
the length of time the individual was dependent on the family funds
was taken into account. This was done by multiplying the appropri­
ate relative by the decimal equivalent of a year during which the
person was dependent on family funds.
Expenditures by the given family for food were then divided by the
number of food-expenditure units in the economic family, expenditures
for clothing by the number of clothing-expenditure units in the eco­
nomic family, and expenditures for other items by the number of




172

equivalent full-time persons in the economic family. The number of
dollars spent per total-expenditure unit was secured by adding to­
gether the'three quotients and this sum was used as a measure of the
economic level of the family. The following sample code sheet shows
the method of coding for a specific family:

It should be noted that the computation of family size in terms of
expenditure units is based on estimates of customary relative expendi­
tures without regard to the adequacy of the goods consumed to meet
physical or psychological needs. These units are not adapted for use
in setting up or in revising ideal or normal budgets. That is, it is
impossible to use these units in calculating the family budget needed
if a child is to be added to the family without disturbing the level
which the family budget was originally prepared to meet, nor may
they be used to determine the subtraction possible if a budget com­
puted for a family of given size is to be applied to a family with one
less child, but without disturbing the standard which the budget was
calculated to purchase. Such additions or subtractions can properly
be made for the purpose indicated with these expenditure units only
if the standard by which the budget was originally computed was in
terms of these same units. Thus, if a budget for a family of given
size has been calculated on the basis of a given number of expenditure
units, using the relatives described in this study, along with some pre­
determined sum taken as meeting the needs of an adult man, the
budget may be increased to care for the addition of a person to the
family by use of this series of units. But if the original budget for,
let us say, a family of two adults and two children was calculated on




APPEN DIX D

173

some other basis, the increase of the total budget by the decimal
equivalent represented by an expenditure unit from this study cor­
responding to a child of specified age will not assure the continuance
at the same standard of living of the family when a third child is added.
The measures used in calculating size of family in expenditure units
in the present study are intended to represent customary behavior in
families where the addition of a child is not as a rule accompanied by
any addition to income, and the family must adapt its expenditures
to meet the new situation. In arriving at the scales used to measure
family size, no adjustments were included for possible differences in
the economy of purchasing for larger as compared with smaller families.
Adjustm ent for Contact W ith Families T hrough O ther Member
T han C hief Earner

In a substantial number of families included in the sample
were persons whose names had been drawn from employee lists
in the usual manner, but who proved to be subsidiary rather than chief
earners. This method of scheduling required that the resulting over­
representation of multiple-earner families be eliminated by a process
of adjustment during the course of tabulation. Throughout this re­
port, all data for the 10 New Hampshire cities and Marquette have
been adjusted in accordance with the procedure set forth in appendix
G of Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletins Nos. 636, 637, and 639 to
641, inclusive. In Modesto and Reno, since the ruling of contact
only through the chief earner was followed in scheduling, the data
could be tabulated without adjustment.
