Consumer Expenditure Survey, 1991: Interview Survey, Detailed Expenditure Files (ICPSR 6262)
Released/updated on: 2026-06-03
Geographic coverage: United States
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.

A consumer unit consists of all members of a particular housing unit who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or some other legal arrangement. Consumer unit determination for unrelated persons is based on financial independence. Member Characteristics (MEMB) files contain selected characteristics and earnings for each consumer unit member, including information on relationship to reference person.

Consumer Expenditure Survey, Integrated Diary and Interview Survey Data, 1984-1994 (ICPSR 6714)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1984-01-01--1994-01-01
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 1984-1994. 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.

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.
