Survey of Consumer Finances, 1960 (ICPSR 7440)
Released/updated on: 2014-01-10
Geographic coverage: United States
This data collection is one in a series of surveys of consumer finances conducted annually between 1946 and 1971. In a nationally representative sample, the head of each spending unit (usually the husband, the main earner, or the owner of the home) was interviewed. The basic unit of reference in the study was the spending unit, but some family data are also available. The questions in the 1960 survey covered the respondent's attitudes toward national economic conditions and price activity, as well as the respondent's own financial situation. Other questions examined the spending unit head's occupation, and the nature and amount of the spending unit's income, debts, liquid assets, changes in liquid assets, savings, investment preferences, and actual and expected purchases of cars and other major durables. In addition, the survey explored in detail the subject of housing, e.g., previous and present home ownership, value of respondent's dwelling, and mortgage information. Demographic variables include number of people in the spending unit, age, sex, and education of the head, and the race and sex of the respondent.
