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.
