Consumer Expenditure Survey, 1991: Interview Survey, Detailed Expenditure Files (ICPSR 6262)
Released/updated on: 2026-06-03
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1991-01-01--1991-12-31
The ongoing Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) provides a continuous flow of information on the buying habits of American consumers and also furnishes data to support periodic revisions of the Consumer Price Index. The survey consists of two separate components:
- A quarterly Interview Survey in which each consumer unit in the sample is interviewed every three months over a 15-month period, and
- A Diary Survey completed by the sample consumer units for two consecutive one-week periods.
The Interview Survey was designed to collect data on major items of expense, household characteristics, and income. The expenditures covered by the survey are those that respondents can recall fairly accurately for three months or longer. In general, these expenditures include relatively large purchases, such as those for property, or expenditures that occur on a fairly regular basis, such as rent, utilities, or insurance premiums. Excluded are nonprescription drugs, household supplies, and personal care items. Including global estimates on spending for food, it is estimated that about 90 to 95 percent of expenditures are covered in the Interview Survey.
The Detailed Expenditure Files that comprise this data collection were created from all the major expenditure sections of the Interview Survey questionnaires. These files contain more detailed expenditure records than those found in the Interview Survey data tapes. In addition, the Detailed Expenditure Files include family characteristics (FMLY) files and income and member characteristics (MEMB) files identical to those found in the Interview Survey.

Time period: 1976-04-01--1976-07-31
This data collection contains information gathered in the Survey of Income and Education (SIE) conducted in April-July 1976 by the Census Bureau for the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). Although national estimates of the number of children in poverty were available each year from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS), those estimates were not statistically reliable on a state-by-state basis. In enacting the Educational Amendments of 1974, Congress mandated that HEW conduct a survey to obtain reliable state-by-state data on the numbers of school-age children in local areas with family incomes below the federal poverty level. This was the statistic that determined the amount of grant a local educational agency was entitled to under Title 1, Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. (Such funds were distributed by HEW's Office of Education.) The SIE was the survey created to fulfill that mandate. Its questions include those used in the Current Population Survey regarding current employment, past work experience, and income. Additional questions covering school enrollment, disability, health insurance, bilingualism, food stamp recipiency, assets, and housing costs enabled the study of the poverty concept and of program effectiveness in reaching target groups. Basic household information also was recorded, including tenure of unit (a determination of whether the occupants of the living quarters owned, rented, or occupied the unit without rent), type of unit, household language, and for each member of the household: age, sex, race, ethnicity, marital history, and education.

Consumer Expenditure Survey, 1993: Interview Survey (ICPSR 6580)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1993-01-01--1993-12-31
The ongoing Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) provides a continuous flow of information on the buying habits of American consumers and also furnishes data to support periodic revisions of the Consumer Price Index. The survey consists of two separate components: (1) a quarterly Interview Survey in which each consumer unit in the sample is interviewed every three months over a 15-month period, and (2) a Diary Survey completed by the sample consumer units for two consecutive one-week periods. The Interview Survey was designed to collect data on major items of expense, household characteristics, and income. The expenditures covered by the survey are those that respondents can recall fairly accurately for three months or longer. In general, these expenditures include relatively large purchases, such as those for property, or expenditures that occur on a fairly regular basis, such as rent, utilities, or insurance premiums. Excluded are nonprescription drugs, household supplies, and personal care items. The Consumer Unit Characteristics and Income (FMLY) files in this collection contain consumer unit characteristics, consumer unit income, and characteristics and earnings of both the reference person and the spouse. Summary expenditure data are also provided. The Member Characteristics and Income (MEMB) files present selected characteristics for each consumer unit member, including reference person and spouse. Each record in the FMLY and MEMB files consists of three months of data. Detailed Expenditures (MTAB) files provide monthly data at the Universal Classification Code (UCC) level. In these files expenditures for each consumer unit are classified according to UCC categories and are specified as gifts or nongifts. There may be more than one record for a UCC in a single month if that is what was reported to the interviewer. The Income (ITAB) files supply monthly data at the UCC level for consumer unit characteristics and income. The Documentation File (Part 20) contains a sample program and a list of variables by start position. This program is for use in the verification of the public-use data and as an illustration of the Consumer Expenditures estimation methodology, as well as to provide programming assistance.

Consumer Expenditure Survey, 1997: Interview Survey and Detailed Expenditure Files (ICPSR 2838)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1997-01-01--1997-12-31
The ongoing Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) provides a continuous flow of information on the buying habits of American consumers and also furnishes data to support periodic revisions of the Consumer Price Index. The survey consists of two separate components: (1) a quarterly Interview Survey in which each consumer unit in the sample is interviewed every three months over a 15-month period, and (2) a Diary Survey completed by the sample consumer units for two consecutive one-week periods. The Interview Survey was designed to collect data on major items of expense, household characteristics, and income. The expenditures covered by the survey are those that respondents can recall fairly accurately for three months or longer. In general, these expenditures include relatively large purchases, such as those for property, or expenditures that occur on a fairly regular basis, such as rent, utilities, or insurance premiums. Excluded are nonprescription drugs, household supplies, and personal care items. Including global estimates on spending for food, it is estimated that about 90 to 95 percent of expenditures are covered in the Interview Survey. The Detailed Expenditure Files were created from all the major expenditure sections of the Interview Survey questionnaires and contain the most detailed expenditure data from the Interview Survey. Parts 69-72 contain processing files used by the program in Part 73. Part 73, Documentation File, includes a sample program and lists of the data file variables by start position. Parts 75 and 76 are SAS programs that generate means, variances, standard errors, and coefficients of variation.

Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1984-01-01--1995-12-31
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.
