title: Consumer Expenditure Survey, Integrated Diary and Interview Survey Data, 1984-1995
title: Archival Version

description: This collection contains data integrated from the two
 components of the Consumer Expenditure Survey, the Diary Survey and
 the quarterly Interview Survey, for the years 1984-1995. The
 integrated data provide a complete accounting of consumer expenditures
 and income, which neither component alone is designed to do. For the
 Diary Survey, consumer units complete a diary of expenses for two
 consecutive one-week periods. The diary survey is designed to obtain
 data on frequently purchased items such as food and beverages,
 housekeeping supplies, etc., that respondents are less likely to
 recall over longer periods of time. For the Interview Survey, consumer
 units report information to an interviewer once every three months for
 five consecutive quarters. This survey is designed to obtain data on
 expenditures and income that respondents can be expected to recall for
 a period of three months or longer, such as property or automobile
 purchases, and those that occur on a regular basis, such as rent,
 utility bills, and insurance premiums. The standard tables include age
 of reference person, composition of the consumer unit, size of the
 consumer unit, number of earners in the consumer unit, income before
 taxes, occupation, quintiles of income before taxes, housing tenure,
 race, type of area (urban-rural), and region of residence. There are
 also cross-tabulated tables that include age by income, consumer unit
 size by income, region by income before taxes, Metropolitan
 Statistical Areas by the four census regions, and single persons by
age and by income.

description: Noninstitutional civilian population of the United States.
description: (1) The data were supplied as tabular Lotus 1-2-3
 files, which ICPSR converted to ASCII text files. (2) Part 259,
 Documentation for All Parts, contains an introduction to the data,
 descriptions of the files, and a glossary of terms. It is a
 combination of three text files (readme.dsk, filename, glossary) that
 came with the original Lotus tables, and it reflects the original
 Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet file format. (3) Starting in 1991, the
 expenditure line "Other Lodging" was redefined. The item "Expenses
 for Other Properties" was extracted from "Other Lodging" and placed
 with "Miscellaneous" expenditures. The 1990 tables were retabulated
 to reflect this change. Part 223, Expenses for Other Properties by
 Consumer Unit Characteristics, 1987, 1988, and 1989, shows expenses
 for other properties, by consumer unit characteristics, for the years
 1987, 1988, and 1989, and can be used to adjust the earlier years for
 comparisons with 1990 and later years. (4) Part 259, Documentation for
 All Parts, is provided as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. The
 PDF file format was developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated and can be
 accessed using PDF reader software, such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
 Information on how to obtain a copy of the Acrobat Reader is provided
through the ICPSR Website on the Internet.
