Summary
Race of the reference person of the consumer unit. Families are included in three racial groups: Black or African-American; Asian; and White and All Other Races. The "All Other Races" group comprises such races as Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Pacific Islanders, and those reporting more than one race. 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.
