Washington, D. C., January 14, 1952.The S e c r e t a r y o f L a b o r :

I have the honor to transmit herewith a bulletin summarizing data on consumer income, expenditures, and savings in 10 cities during the years 1946 through 1949. Some of this information was published in preliminary form in articles which appeared in the Monthly Labor Review. This bulletin contains final summary data and detailed information not heretofore published.

The planning and conduct of field surveys in which these data were obtained, and the preparation of tabular materials for this bulletin are the work of many members of the Staff of the Bureau’s Division of Prices and Cost of Living. Acknowledgment to individuals cannot be made without fear of inadvertently omitting one or more important contributors to the total effort.

Family Income, Expenditures, and Savings in 10 Cities

1946-49Introduction

Family income, expenditures, and savings data here presented were obtained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in studies conducted in 10 cities for the years 1946 through 1949. Altogether, postwar studies were made in 13 cities. The results of surveys conducted in Birmingham, Ala.; Indianapolis, Ind.; and Portland, Oreg. for the year 1945, have been published previously.1 The 1945 surveys were the first of a series which the Bureau proposed to conduct in 3 to 6 cities a year until all 34 cities represented in the Consumers’ Price Index had been surveyed. The studies were made in order to check the weights and prices used in the C. P. I.

In January 1951, the weights in the C. P. I. were adjusted to an estimated 1950 expenditure pattern, based on the 1947-49 survey data, and adjusted indexes were published back to January 1950. In 1949 the Bureau began a comprehensive review and revision of the C. P. I. In connection with this 3-year program, consumer expenditure information for the year 1950 was collected in 91 cities throughout the country. When the revision is completed these data will be summarized and published for general use. The cities for which data are given in this bulletin, were not included among the 91 cities surveyed for 1950.

In the 4 years 1946-49, the American consumer experienced the severest inflation in the history of the American economy. Inflationary forces, held in check by the wartime economic stabilization program, resulted in violent price rises when controls were removed after July 1946. High consumer income and pent-up purchasing power in the form of accumulated wartime savings increased the pressure of demand for consumer goods. This demand was not satisfied entirely until late in 1948

i See Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin No. 956, Family Income, Expendi

tures, and Savings in 1945 (1949).

even though the American economy approached the limits of capacity of materials, facilities, and manpower. At that time supplies of most things improved considerably, and put an end to the rapid rise in prices. Production employment and consumer income leveled out and remained relatively stable after this period.

Family expenditure patterns for the years covered by this bulletin reflect some of the changes occurring in the transition from war to peace. However, the data for the 10 cities presented here do not permit adequate analysis of these changes. Beginning in July 1946, price controls were lifted rapidly from consumer goods and services, and prices rose at the sharpest rate ever recorded. The effect of these higher prices and accompanying increases in supplies on consumer expenditures for the second half of 1946 are averaged in the annual figures for Milwaukee, Savannah, and Scranton. In the early part of 1947 the rent control laws were modified and late in 1947 consumer credit controls were relaxed. Throughout 1947 and 1948 household appliances appeared in increasing volume in consumer markets and supplies of all consumer goods continuously improved. Employment and incomes were rising to new highs and available money was largely and freely spent to replenish household inventories of goods that were either scarce or were not available during the war. This continuous increase in quantities of goods and services bought at higher and higher prices is averaged in the annual figures presented for 1947 (Manchester, Richmond, and Washington) and for 1948 (Denver, Detroit, and Houston). By 1949, the economy generally had stabilized because much of the war-created demand for consumer goods had been satisfied and income and prices remained high or decreased slightly. The figures for Memphis reflect this high stable period of consumer purchases.

In general, the 4 years were characterized by

1


an abundance of purchasing power in the hands of consumers and by their eagerness to buy goods as they reappeared in the markets. As production returned to a peacetime basis, consumers drew on savings or went into debt to replace prewar automobiles and other durables with new models, and, on the average, family accounts showed net deficits in most cases.

Thus, changes in consumer expenditure patterns caused by the shifting economic conditions of the period disguise differences from city to city and from time to time because of normal differences in community income level, climatic conditions, and other factors usually associated with variances in expenditures. Nevertheless, the data form an important part of the general economic statistics for this historical period and will be useful in analysis of postwar developments.

Selection of Cities

In selecting the cities to be surveyed each year, city size, geographic location, representativeness, and demand for current expenditure data, together with budgetary considerations were major determining factors. On the basis of these criteria, the cities selected for survey were: for 1946, Milwaukee, Wis.; Savannah, Ga.; and Scranton, Pa.; for 1947, Manchester, N. H.; Richmond, Va.; and Washington, D. C .;for 1948, Denver, Colo.; Detroit, Mich.; and Houston, Tex.

By 1949 plans were laid to conduct a large Nation-wide survey for 1950 to be used in a comprehensive review and revision of the C. P. I.2 It was decided, therefore, that only one city should be surveyed for 1949 data and that in addition to obtaining useful information, the study should serve to test collection and processing methods to be used in the 1950 survey. Memphis, Tenn.,3 was chosen to be adequately representative of larger urban places, because of its diversified industry and heterogeneous population, yet it was small enough and in a favorable location to allow adequate control and observation of the test survey.

Reliability of the Data

The data here presented are derived from reports obtained from relatively small samples of families and single consumers selected to be representative of the total populations of each city. The data, therefore, are subject to sampling variability. Data based on small sample surveys often exhibit irregularities which might not occur in surveys of wider coverage. These irregularities appear most frequently in averages of expenditures that are extremely variable, as expenditures for medical care which depend on illness occuring in a particular year. They may also appear in expenditures such as for food, which might be expected to increase directly with family income.

* For a detailed description of the sampling design, see The Rent Index:

Part 2—Methodology of Measurement, M LR January 1949 (also reprinted

as Serial No. R. 1947).6 For definition, see p. 4.

The sampling variability of a percentage figure depends on both the size of the percentage and the size of the total on which it is based. The variability of an average depends on the size and shape of the distribution from which it is derived. Various statistical methods may be used to estimate the amount of sampling variability in the sample results. Coefficients of variation, based on the results of the 1934-36 survey of money disbursements of wage earners and clerical workers, were calculated and published in bulletins 6 presenting these data, and they will serve to indicate the nature of the variability in the data.

In addition to sampling variability, the data are subject to errors of response and nonreporting, because most of the information given is based on memory rather than records. Because of the tendency of respondents to forget irregular sources of income and expenditures for day-to-day living, the memory factor probably results in underreporting. No estimate of the probable errors in these data has been made because such errors cannot be easily measured. Averages and percentages here presented, therefore, are those yielded by the original reports with the following exceptions:

In the 1948 survey of Denver, Detroit, and Houston, a special analysis was made of the distribution of families and single consumers who were selected in the sample, but who refused or were unable to provide usable information. It was found that the sample returns under-represented single consumers, and that the income distribution of single consumers who completed reports differed somewhat from that of the group that did not provide information. The income distribution of all single consumers and families combined as given in table 1 has been adjusted for this discrepancy. However, average expenditures, income, and savings in tables 2 through 12 are based on the unadjusted data.

The 1947 data for Washington were adjusted to correct for a discrepancy in the proportion of white and Negro families in the sample results. Tabulations of the income, savings, and expenditure data were made for white and Negro families separately and were combined at each income level using Bureau of the Census population figures.

Money Disbursements of Wage Earners and Clerical Workers.

Computation of Averages

The averages given in this report are based on all families in a class, whether or not they purchased a particular item in the survey year. Average expenditures of families purchasing a particular item may be computed from data given in the tables by dividing the average expenditure for all families by the percentage of families purchasing the item.

The upper limit of net income after payment of personal taxes for which separate averages are shown, varies from $6,000 for Savannah and $7,500 for Scranton, Milwaukee and Manchester, to $10,000 for the remaining six survey cities. This variation in the income grouping was suggested by the nature of the data itself, since the number of cases at the higher income levels was too few and the errors in the data too great to yield reliable averages. In all cases, over 95 percent of families of two or more persons in each city were included within the income limits chosen.

Definitions

Economic Family

' The sampling unit defined for these studies is the “ economic family,” which may be either a family of two or more persons or a single consumer. An economic family of two or more is a group of persons usually living in the same household and dependent on a common or pooled income for the major items of expense. The single consumer is a person who is financially independent of any family group, living either as a separate household or as a roomer in a private home, lodging house, or hotel.

In the great majority of cases, the members of an economic family are related by blood, marriage, or adoption; groups of unrelated persons who share both income and expenses are seldom found. In applying the concept of an economic family, related persons living in one household were considered as forming two or more economic families when the separation of their finances appeared to be clearly defined. Unmarried sons and daughters living with their parents were not considered separate economic families unless their status in the household was clearly comparable with that of a roomer. Normally, working children who

pay a specified sum for “ room and board’ ’ either receive without charge many services financed by other members of the family, such as use of the family car, personal laundry, etc., or contribute in excess of their share to cover family living expenses. Parents with some income who live in the household of a son or daughter present a similar situation for interpretation.

Two families or single consumers who lived in one dwelling and shared household expenses but did not pool incomes were considered separate economic families.

A family member working away from home during the survey period, who contributed with some regularity to the family support and came home frequently, was treated as a member of the economic family, unless he was living in a military camp, post, or reservation.

A child living away at school was considered a member of the economic family if the parents provided the major part of his support. Other persons supported by contributions from the family income but not living in the household were not considered as members of the family.

Economic Families Eligible for Survey

Field collections of data for the various surveys were made during the spring following the year to which the information related—in some surveys as late as May.7 The composition of the family and the record of income, savings, and expenditures, however, were taken as of the survey year. Averages in this report relate only to families and single consumers that existed as economic families during all of the survey year.

These full-year economic families, however, may have had part-year family members—persons who joined or left the family during the year. Income savings and expenditures for part-year family members were recorded for that portion of the survey year in which they were part of the family, and were combined with the total year data for the rest of the family.

7 Periods during which the surveys were made: Milwaukee, February and March 1947; Savannah, February through first week of June 1947; Scranton, February through first week of April 1947; Manchester, February through April 1948; Richmond, February through first week of April 1948; Washington, February through first week of June 1948; Denver, mid-January through April 1949; Detroit, February through April 1949; Houston, mid-January through mid-April 1949; Memphis, February through April 1950.

Family Size

The family size was recorded in terms of equivalent full-year members, with 52 weeks of family membership considered equivalent to 1 person, 26 weeks equivalent to 0.5 person, etc.

Family Living Arrangements

Families who occupied a house, flat, or apartment with cooking facilities and who prepared meals at home during the survey year were considered “housekeeping” families. Two or more families who shared an entire dwelling, including the kitchen, were classified in the “housekeeping” group. A few families who occupied a room or rooms with more or less temporary arrangement for cooking, such as a hot plate, “ light housekeeping” facilities, or “ kitchen privileges,” were not included with “housekeeping” families.

Families who occupied a room or rooms and paid a set sum for meals served at a given place, or who bought all meals at restaurants during the year, were classified as “ rooming and boarding” families.

Families who occupied a dwelling with cooking facilities part of the year and a room without cooking facilities part of the year were classified as having “ other” living arrangements.

Tenure

Families have been classified into three major tenure groups as follows:

Owner: living in owned home all year. Renter: living in house, flat, or apartment

all year and paying rent all year.Other: Roomers; families who moved from

rented to owned homes or from owned to rented homes during the year; and renting families who received one or more months’ free rent during the year.

Income

Income data were obtained in these surveys primarily to provide a basis for summarization and analysis of family expenditures with respect to differences in economic levels. Because money income after payment of personal taxes most nearly represents spendable income, it was used

as the basis for classifying families. In order to obtain as accurate a record of family income as possible, detailed information on wage and salary income before and after payroll deductions was obtained for each earner in the family. The “ before tax” income from other sources for all members of the economic family was also recorded in detail, together with a record of tax payments and other income deductions.

M oney Income

The components of money income in these surveys were specified on the schedule form as follows: Wages; salaries; earnings from independent business or profession; receipts from roomers and boarders; interest and dividends; profits from enterprises owned but not operated by the family; net rents and royalties; unemployment insurance benefits; Federal old-age and survivors’ insurance benefits; other retirement benefits and industrial pensions; income from annuities; regular contributions from persons not in the family; direct relief payments; and other money income.

E a r n i n g s . “ Wages and salaries” represent net receipts from employment, however short the period worked, including all sums withheld by the employer for insurance and retirement funds, the old-age and surivors’ insurance deduction, and the unemployment insurance deduction. Amounts received from odd jobs and piecework, casual earnings, tips, and bonuses were recorded in the totals for wages and salaries.

Net earnings from wages and salaries were determined by deducting from these totals the following items of occupational expenses: Dues tounions and professional associations, including the cost of technical publications; supplies, equipment, or tools paid for by the employee; traveling expenses and any portion of automobile operation expenses incurred in connection with the occupation. Transportation to and from work was not considered as an occupational expense.

Net “ earnings from independent business 8 or profession” were recorded as the net profits from a profession or a business owned and managed by the family. Details on gross income and business expenditures were obtained only when necessary

* Outside salesmen or insurance agents working on their own account or on a commission basis were considered self-employed.

to determine net earnings. The net amounts included the value of goods drawn from stock for family use. (These goods were also entered as purchases under the appropriate expenditure categories.) Income from “ enterprises owned but not operated by the family” were recorded as a separate income item.

N e t i n c o m e f r o m r o o m e r s a n d b o a r d e r s .

Respondents were asked to report gross “ receipts from roomers and boarders.” Net receipts were determined by deducting an estimate of food expense from the total income reported (this estimated expense was also deducted from the expenditure for food). No attempt was made to deduct the cost of housing provided to lodgers. If the estimated expense for boarders’ food was larger than the amount reported received from the boarders, the net income from boarders was considered zero.

P r o p e r t y i n c o m e . “ Interest and dividends” was defined to include all amounts received in that form from stocks, bonds, bank accounts, trust funds, paid-up insurance policies, etc.

“ Net rents” represented gross rents from any property rented to others by the family, less expenses that were actually paid for current upkeep of the property. (Expenses incurred but not paid were not deducted; outlays for improvements or additions were considered an increase in assets.)

D i r e c t r e l i e f p a y m e n t s . Money received from public and private relief agencies, mothers’ pensions, old-age pensions, and aid to the blind were included in this group.

O t h e r m o n e y i n c o m e . Workmen’s compensation benefits, alimony, prizes, rewards, and gambling gains, etc., were included in this group.

Other M oney Receipts

Inheritances, occasional large gifts, and other such “ windfall” payments, including terminal leave pay for members of the Armed Forces, were recorded separately and were not included with money income.

No record of gifts and inheritances in the form of real estate, securities, or other property was made unless such property had been sold during the survey period. In that case the transaction was recorded as though the amount received from the sale was a money gift or inheritance.

Expenditures for Current Consumption

Expenditures for family living were reported in detail under 15 categories of expense: Food (including alcoholic beverages); housing; fuel, light, and refrigeration;9 household operation; furnishings and equipment; clothing; automobile; other transportation; personal care; medical care; recreation; tobacco; reading; education; and miscellaneous.

The total cost of commodities or services bought was included whether or not payment was made during the period of the survey. All purchases of durable goods made during the year (except principal payments and payments for improvements on homes) were considered current expenditures.10 Financing charges and interest on installment and other credit purchases, and shipping and delivery charges were considered part of the expenditure for the item to which they applied. Discounts and trade-in allowances were deducted from the gross price.

Details on expenditures during the survey year were obtained for all categories of goods and services except food. Experience in surveys of this type has shown that it is not possible to obtain by the interview method reliable reports on the amounts spent for specified food items over periods of more than a week or two. Therefore, for the annual report, estimates were obtained of the total amount spent for food at home and away from home, and a detailed record was made of the items of food purchased during the week preceding the interview.

The nature of the goods and services rather than the conditions under which expenditures were made generally governed the classification of expenditures. For example, traveling expense for vacations was included under automobile and other transportation rather than recreation; board and room for children away at school were classed as expenditures for food and housing rather than for education.

The “ miscellaneous” group included interest on debts incurred for family living; bank service charges, including safe deposit box; legal expenses

9 Since apartment rents in cities frequently cover payment for fuel, light, and/or refrigeration, expenditures for these items have been combined with those for housing in all tables showing the summary of expenditures.

10 If an automobile was purchased partly for family use and partly for business use, only a portion of the expense for purchase chargeable to family use was considered family expense. The remainder was considered an investment in business (an increase in assets).

6


connected with household affairs; losses concerned directly with the household, including amount of installments paid during the survey period on repossessed furniture; funeral expenses, including upkeep and purchase of cemetery lot; and expense for other items, such as dues to political and to cooperative associations, marriage licenses, and flowers for the wedding of a family member; garden expenses for seeds and fertilizers; and feed for chickens and other animals for family food supply.

Gifts and Taxes

Included under “ gifts and contributions,” are donations to churches and religious organizations, welfare agencies, war relief agencies, and educational funds; contributions for the support of relatives not members of the economic family; and amounts spent for gifts to friends and relatives outside the economic family.

“ Personal taxes” included Federal and State income taxes on individuals, poll taxes, and taxes on such personal property as furnishings and jewelry. The personal tax figures included all taxes of the types specified that fell due during the survey period, whether or not they were paid (unpaid taxes were also entered as an increase in liabilities). Tax refunds received during the survey year were considered as deductions from current taxes.

Other taxes, such as sales taxes, excise taxes, and automobile and real estate taxes, were included as part of family living expenditure for the commodities and services to which they apply. Taxes on business property were deducted as an expense in estimating net income.

No sales tax was in effect in 1946 in Milwaukee, Savannah, and Scranton; in 1947 in Richmond and Manchester; or in 1948 in Houston.

A Maryland State sales tax of 2 percent in effect in 1947 was not included in the average expenditures for the Washington area since the relatively small proportion of goods and services bought in the Maryland suburbs could not be estimated.

In 1948, there was a 2 percent State sales tax and a 1 percent city sales tax in Denver. The city tax coverage changed during the year. For the first 7 weeks of 1948, taxes were collected on grocery and restaurant food and prescription drugs, but these commodities were exempted for the rest of the year. The tax applied to these items was figured at 2.13 percent.

In 1948, a 3 percent retail sales tax was in effect in Detriot, and in 1949 a 2 percent sales tax was in effect in Memphis.

In cities where a sales tax was in effect, except in Memphis where sales tax was included in the reported amount spent, expenditures were reported without tax by the respondent.

The sales tax was then computed and added to the total expenditure for the affected item. This procedure may have resulted in an overestimate of the sales tax since some families may have unintentionally included sales tax when reporting annual estimated expenditures for some items.

Changes in A ssets and Liabilities

The difference between the family’s income and the other money receipts, and its outlays for current living, gifts, insurance, and personal taxes for the survey year is accounted for by the net changes in assets and liabilities, except for allowable reporting errors.11 Each economic family included in the survey was asked to report any increases or decreases during the year in each of its assets and liabilities. Only changes resulting from money transactions, such as the purchase and sale of property were recorded. Increases or decreases in the market value of real estate, securities, and other property held by the family were not considered.

“ Assets” included bank accounts and money on hand; investments in business and real estate; Government bonds and other securities; improvements on owned homes or other real estate; and loans made to others, liab ilities” included amounts payable on mortgages; notes due to banks, insurance companies, and individuals; amounts due to loan companies and credit associations; balances owing on installment purchases; charge accounts and other bills due; and rents and taxes due.

Amounts received from the sale of assets, the settlement of life-insurance policies, and borrowing were recorded in the statement of changes in family assets and liabilities.

The net change in assets and liabilities duringn Because of the difficulty experienced by respondents in accounting com

pletely for receipts (i. e., income, other money receipts, and funds made available through liquidation of assets or through credit) and disbursements (i. e., outlays for current consumption, gifts, and taxes, and money used to increase assets or decrease debts), a margin of tolerance was set up for discrepancies between the two. A schedule was considered acceptable if the difference was less than 10 percent of receipts or of disbursements, whichever was the larger. For Memphis, this tolerance was increased to 15 percent.

7


the period was calculated as the algebraic sum of all the changes. A positive net change, when total increases in assets and total decreases in liabilities exceed the total decreases in assets and total increases in liabilities, was recorded as a net surplus. A negative change in all assets and liabilities was called a net deficit.

Expenditures of Wage Earner and Clerical

Worker Families

For the 7 cities surveyed from 1947 through 1949, special tabulations were made of the major categories of expenditure for families of wage earners and clerical workers with incomes under $10,000. The average expenditures shown in table A were used to determine the relative importance of the major groups of goods and services for the interim adjustment of the C. P. I. in those cities. The relative importance figures shown in table 6 of BLS Bulletin No. 1039, Interim Adjustment of Consumers’ Price Index, were based

on “ Total current expenditure” less “Education and other” expenses.

In making comparisons of the expenditures of wage earner and clerical worker families with those of all families, the adjustments listed below should be made to the expenditures for all families, as shown in table 2, page 14.

1. Food: Subtract the expenditure for alcoholic beverages as shown in table 3.

2. Housing: Subtract the expenditure for fuel, light, refrigeration, and water as shown in table 5.

3. Fuel, Light, Refrigeration, and Water: Subtract the expenditure for water as shown in table 5.

4. Household Operation: Add the expenditure for water as shown in table 5.

5. Tobacco: Add the expenditure for alcoholic beverages as shown in table 3.

6. Recreation: Add the expenditure for reading as shown in table 2.

1 See table 1, footnote 1.2 Expenditures for automobiles used entirely for business are excluded.3 In the case of automobile used partly for business, the family was asked to estimate the proportion of

automobile expense chargeable to business.This proportion was used to allocate expenditures to family and business use of car. In 1946 and 1947

this allocation was not made for separate items of operation expenditure.4 Expenditure for purchase of automobile was derived by deducting trade-in allowance from the gross

purchase price which included Federal excise tax and sales tax, and financing charges other than insurance.5 Includes expense for washing and lubricating car, battery service, anti-freeze, new parts, repairs to

motor, body, etc., fees for car inspection.

6 Includes amounts spent for dues to automobile associations, tips to garage and gas station attendants expenditures for accessories, fines, damages paid, toll charges.

7 Includes amounts paid for participation in car pools when car is not owned by family, tips for taxi service, licenses for persons not having expense for owned car.

8 Includes expense for interurban public transportation by boat and airplane, tips to porters, etc.8 Includes expense for purchase and upkeep of motorcycles, bicycles, boats, planes, etc., when used

primarily for transportation.10 Includes licenses for persons not having expense for owned car.♦ Number of families in this income class insufficient for reliable averages.
