Summary
Reports spending based on quintile of before-tax income, calculated by ranking complete income reporters into five equal groups. Income before taxes is the total money earnings and selected money receipts of all consumer unit members aged 14 years or older during the 12 months prior to the interview date. It includes the following components: wages and salaries; self-employment income; Social Security, private and government retirement; interest, dividends, rental income, and other property income; unemployment, workers' compensation and veteran's benefits; public assistance, supplemental security income, and food stamps; regular contributions for support (including alimony and child support); other income (including cash scholarships, fellowships or stipends not based on working, and meals and rent as pay). The Consumer Expenditure Survey is a nationwide survey conducted annually for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the United States Census Bureau. The consumer expenditures program consists of two surveys--the Quarterly Interview Survey and the Diary Survey--that provide information on the characteristics, expenditures, and income of American consumers. For the diary survey, respondents complete a diary of expenses for two consecutive 1-week periods. The diary survey is designed to obtain data on frequently purchased items, such as food or housekeeping supplies, that respondents are less likely to recall over time. For the interview survey, respondents report data to an interviewer. Each sample household is interviewed once per quarter, for five consecutive quarters. This survey is designed to collect data on major items of expense, such as property purchases or vehicle purchases, and those that occur on a regular basis, such as rent or utility payments, that respondents recall for 3 months or longer. Each year approximately 30,000 persons participate in the Quarterly Interview Survey, and 15,000 participate in the Diary Survey. The dataset presents annual income and expenditures integrated from the Interview and Diary surveys in varying detail, classified by income, age, consumer unit size, and other demographic characteristics of consumer units.
