Title: Consumer Unit Characteristics: Income After Taxes by Composition of Consumer Unit: Single Person and Other Consumer Units Series ID: CXUINCAFTAXLB0610M Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Release: Consumer Expenditure Surveys Seasonal Adjustment: Not Seasonally Adjusted Frequency: Annual Units: U.S. Dollars Date Range: 1984-01-01 to 2022-01-01 Last Updated: 2023-09-14 4:17 PM CDT Notes: Composition of consumer unit refers to the classification of interviewed families according to: (1) relationship of other family members to the reference person; (2) age of the children of the reference person; and (3) combination of relationship to the reference person and age of the children. Stepchildren and adopted children are included with the reference person's own children. The reference person is the first member mentioned by the respondent when asked to "Start with the name of the person or one of the persons who owns or rents the home." It is with respect to this person that the relationship of the other consumer unit members is determined. A consumer unit comprises either: (1) all members of a particular household who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or other legal arrangements; (2) a person living alone or sharing a household with others or living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in permanent living quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or more persons living together who use their income to make joint expenditure decisions. Financial independence is determined by the three major expense categories: Housing, food, and other living expenses. To be considered financially independent, at least two of the three major expense categories have to be provided entirely, or in part, by the respondent.
