The amount of food you bought last week and how much you paid for
it are very important to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in calculating the
Consumer Price Index. This index {s the government's official measure of
change in prices which affect your living costs. It 1s very important to
you because it is used by businesses and labor unions and the government in
determining policies which affect you directly.

We earnestly request your cooperation in filling out this report
on all your food purchases for the last 7 days. Your address, along with 4
number of other addresses, was selected in 4 sample for your city. Since
we have only your address, we cannot send this to you by name. Any data
you furnish will be held in the strictest confidence and will be used for
statistical purposes only.

Usually we would make this kind of a survey by having one of our
employees call om you. To save money we are asking you to weil this infor-
mation to us.

It is only through the voluntary cooperation of individuals, fan-
Jlies, businesses, labor groups, and other organizations, that we are able
to obtain the information we so urgently need. W112 you please contribute
to this important work by returning this report at your earllest convenience
in the enclosed envelope which requires no postage.

VALUE OF ITEMS RECEIVED WITHOUT EXPENSE

This information was collected primarily to evaluate the completeness of income and ex-
pendituree as reported by the family, and has not been included in the averages of income
and expenditures, except as noted under Housing, below. The figures represent the
family's estimates of the money value of goods and services received as gifts from persons
outside the consumer unit, or in exchange for trading starmps issued to customers by
retailers, or from public or private welfare agencies, and of all goods and services
received as pay except food or rent. The values were nominal in some instances when
the family had little or no knowledge of the true value of the goods and services received,
such as the cost of hospitalization and related services for an extended illness. No
values were set on services customarily available without charge to the public in general,
such as the use of parks and other recreational facilities, public schools, police and
fire protection, etc.

Housing

Includes rent, repairs, improvements to owned real estate, utilities, household
operations, and houscfurnmishings and equipment provided without cost to the family.
However, payments of property taxes, properly insurance, or mortgage payments on
an owned home by persons outside the consumer unit were counted as family expendi-
tuces with an offselling entry of gifts of cash, which is included in Money Income.

Medical Care

Includes employer's contribution to health insurance plans; and other medical care
(hospitalization, prescriptions, visits to the doctor, dentast, and outpatient clinic,
etc.) furnished by employers, hospitals, welfare agencies, or persons outside
the family.

WAGES AND SALARIES

All money earnings as an employee in the form of wages, salaries, tips, bonuses, com-
missions, and pay for military personnel on active or reserve duty, before deductions
were made for taxes, savings bonds, social security, retirement plans, group life or
health insurance plans, etc. Money earnings were adjusted to include the value of two
nonmoney items—tood and housing received as pay—and to exclude occupational expenses.

FAMILY HEAD

In husband-wife families, the husband was considered the head. In other types of families,
the person recognized as the head by other family members was so designated.

FAMILY SIZE

The number of equivalent full-year members, computed by dividing the total number of
weeks during which both full-year and part-year members belonged to the family in the
survey year by 52 weeks.

FAMILY TYPE

Families were classified in seven types on the basis of the relationship of family members
and the age of the children of the head of the family. Five types consisted of consumer
units in which both the husband and wife were present: One of these was composed of
a husband and wife only; three were busband and wife families with their own children (in-
cluding adopted and stepchildren) but with no other persons in the tamily and were classi-
fied according to the age ot the oldest child (under 6 years, 6-17 years, and 18 years and
over); and the fifth type, “other husband-wife" tamilies, included those with or without
their own children but with other persons in the family. A sixth type included families
with children and only one parent (the head) present and no other persons in the family.
The remaining type covered all other consumer units, including one-person families.

GIFTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

Cash contributions ta persons oulside the family and to welfare, religious, educational,
and other organizations; and the cost of goods and services purchased in the survey year
and given to persons outside the family.

HOUSEKEEPING FAMILY

A family in which at least one member regularly eats at least 10 meals per week at
home or carried from home.

INCOME: Sec Money Income and Self-Employment Income.

LIABILITIES, NET CHANCE IN

The algebraic sum of increases and decrease in liabilities: Changes in the mortgage
debt on owner-occupied dwellings and other real property; moncy owed to banks, insur-
ance companies, etc.; money owed for rent, taxes, automobiles, housefurnishings and
equipment, and other goods and services; and changes in other liabilities.

LOCATION AND SIZE OF PLACE

The primary classification was the location of the family's residence inside or outside
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's), as used by the Bureau of the Census.
In addition, urban families living in metropolitan areas were grouped in the following
four subclassifications: Cantral city (the largest cily, or cities, in an SMSA); other
cities with population of 50,000 and over; cities under 50,000 and unincorporated places
in urbanized arcas; and urban places of 2,500 to 50,000 outside urbanized areas. Families
living in urban places of 2,500 to 50,000 in nonmetropolitan areas were classified "Outside
SMSA's,""

212

MONEY INCOME AFTER TAXES

Money income after deduction of personal taxes (Federal, State, and local income taxes,
poll taxes, and personal property taxes).

MONEY INCOME BEFORE TAXES

‘Total money income during the survey year of all family members from wages and
salaries (including tips and bonuses) after deductions fur such occupational expenses as
tools, special required equipment, and union dues; net income from self-employment;
and income other than earnings such as net rents, interests, dividends, social sccurity
benefits, pensions, disabilty insurance, trust funds, small gifts of cash, regular con-
tributions for support, public assistance, or other governmental payments. The value
of two nonmoney items—tfood and housing received as pay—was counted as money income
and as expenditures. The value of home-produced food was not included in the compu-
tation of income or expenditures, (See Other Money Receipts.)

NET CHANGE IN ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The algebraic sum of increases and decreases in assets and liabilities. Net increases
in assets or decreases in liabilities represent a net saving during the year. Net decreases
in assets or increases in liabilities represent a deficit (-) or net dissaving.

OCCUPATION OF FAMILY HEAD

The major occupation at which employed for the largest number of weeks in the survey
year. The classification was made in accordance with the 1960 Census of Population,
Alphabetical Index of Occupations and Industries, except that the self-employed (including
farmers, businessmen, professionals, and artisans) were separated from salaried man~
agers, officials, and professional workers. Members of the Armed Forces, living off
base, and therefore eligible for the survey, were classified separately, but the small
number of farmers and farm workers living in urban places were not classified separately.
The retired included heads who were wholly retired and some with nominal earnings which
were less than their retirement income. See p. 49.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPENSES

Union dues and assessments; dues to business and professional associations; licenses,
tools, supplies, and special equipment other than clothing required for the job; and ex-
penses for travel or use of the family's automobile on the job, All occupational expenses
represent the net cost to the family after deduction of the amounts reimbursed by the
employer; reimbursements in excess of actual expenses are considered as additions to
income from wages and salaries.

OTHER MONEY INCOME

Contributions for support (alimony, etc.), royaltics, payments from disability insur-
ance, excess of payments by health insurance over medical expenses, income from
the sale of homegrown food, receipts from riders in car pool, and all other income
not included elsewhere.

OTHER MONEY RECEIPTS

Inheritances and occasional large gifts of money less taxes, legal fees, and other ex-
penses required to obtain-such receipts; and net receipts from the lump~sum settlement
of fire and accident insurance policies or as the beneficiary of policies on the lives of
persons outside the consumer unit. These amounts were recorded as other money receipts
in order to differentiate "windfall" receipts from regular income, and were not included
with money income for family classification purposes. No record was made of gifts and
inheritances in the form of real estate, securities, and other property unless they had
been sold during the survey year. In that case the net amount received from the sale
wae recorded as Other Money Receipts.

BUREAU OF LABOR SIATSNICS,

Occupant

Thank you for your recent help on a food survey we made fo your
city. Your cooperation was appreciated,

You will perhaps recall that you were asked to give us a complete
list of food items bought by your family during a 7-day period. Similar
Mists obtained from other families gave us a good picture of food buying
in your city during that season. However, families buy different quan-
vities and {tems of food in different seasons of the year. in order to

get an annual record, we need similar food information for the changing
Seasons of the year,

Usually we would make this kind of survey by having 8 member of
our staff cali on you. To save money, we are asking you to fill out this
report and mail the information to us.

It is only through the voluntary cooperation of individuals,
families, businesses, labor groups and other organizations that we aro
able to obtain the information we so urgently need. Will you please
contribute to this important work by returning this report at your
earliest convenience in the enclosed envelope which requires no postage.

Thank you for your help.

Very truly yours,

Ann Figas

Ewan Clague

Glossary

The cost of goods and services for family living (including financing charges and sales
and excise taxes but net of trade-in allowances or refunds) brought during the survey year,
whether or not payments were completed during the year. Consumer durable goods such
as automobiles and houschold equipment were considered as consumption items, but purchases
and sales of homes were considered as changes in assets. Family expenditures for items
used partially for business, such as the home or car, were adjusted to exclude the amount
chargeable to business use. The value of food and housing reccived as pay and the retail
value of goods and services withdrawn from a family owned business were included as
expenditures, with corresponding balancing entries as income. (See Meals as Pay and
Self-Employment Income.) The value of home produced food was not included.

In the published tabulations, items of expenditures for current consumption were
grouped into the following categories.

Part I. Expenditures

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

Beer, ale, liquors, and wine served at home or consumed in restaurants, bars, and other
eating and drinking places. Some expenditures for alcoholic beverages thal could not be
identified separately are included with Food, Away From Home.

APPAREL: See Clothing.

AUTOMOBILE: See Transportation,

CLOTHING

Readymade or custom-made clothing; clothing materials (yard goods, notions, etc.); foor~
wear, hats, gloves, and other accessories; jewelry and watches; drycleaning and pressing
of apparel; shoe repairs; and other clothing services. Other clothing services include
dressmaking and tailoring services (except at the time of purchase of readymade or
custom-made clothing), garment storage, clothing rental, and watch and jewelry repair.

EDUCATION

Tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment for colleges and professional schools and
other school levels such as day or boarding schools, business or secretarial schools,
technical and trade schools, schools for handicapped, retarded, etc. Fees for child care
centers and day nurseries are included under Household Operations. Also includes pay-
ments for instruction in music, dancing, swimming, other sports, and driving, etc.

FOOD, AWAY FROM HOME

Meals in restaurants and other eating places, board (including in dormitories), snacks,
and meals as pay.
