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.
