Section 13

Income, Expenditures, Poverty, and Wealth


This section presents data on gross
domestic product (GDP), gross national
product (GNP), national and personal
income, saving and investment, money
income, poverty, and national and
personal wealth. The data on income and
expenditures measure two aspects of the
U.S. economy. One aspect relates to the
National Income and Product Accounts
(NIPA), a summation reflecting the entire
complex of the nations economic income
and output and the interaction of its
major components; the other relates to
the distribution of money income to
families and individuals or consumer
income.
The primary source for data on GDP, GNP,
national and personal income, gross
saving and investment, and fixed assets
and consumer durables is the Survey of
Current Business, published monthly by
the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
A comprehensive revision to the NIPA
was released beginning in July 2009.
Discussions of the revision appeared in
the March, August, September, October,
and November 2009 issues of the Survey
of Current Business. Summary historical
estimates appeared in the August 2009
issue of the Survey of Current Business.
Detailed historical data can be found on
BEAs Web site at <http://www.bea.gov/>.
Sources of income distribution data are
the decennial censuses of population,
the Current Population Survey (CPS),
and the American Community Survey, all
products of the U.S. Census Bureau (see
text, Section 1 and Section 4). Annual
data on income of families, individuals,
and households are presented in Current
Population Reports, Consumer Income,
P60 Series, in print. Many data series are
also found on the Census Web site at
<http://www.census.gov/hhes
/www/income/income.html>. Data on
the household sectors saving and assets
are published by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System in the
quarterly statistical release Flow of Funds
Accounts. The Federal Reserve Board also

periodically conducts the Survey of


Consumer Finances, which presents financial information on family assets and net
worth. The most recent survey is available
at <http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs
/oss/oss2/scfindex.html>. Detailed information on personal wealth is published
periodically by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) in SOI Bulletin.
National income and product
GDP is the total output of goods and
services produced by labor and property located in the United States, valued
at market prices. GDP can be viewed in
terms of the expenditure categories that
comprise its major components:
personal consumption expenditures,
gross private domestic investment, net
exports of goods and services, and government consumption expenditures and
gross investment. The goods and services
included are largely those bought for final
use (excluding illegal transactions) in the
market economy. A number of inclusions,
however, represent imputed values, the
most important of which is the rental
value of owneroccupied housing. GDP, in
this broad context, measures the output
attributable to the factors of production
located in the United States. GDP by state
is the gross market value of the goods
and services attributable to labor and
property located in a state. It is the state
counterpart of the nations GDP.
The featured measure of real GDP is
an index based on chain-type annual
weights. Changes in this measure of
real output and prices are calculated
as the average of changes based on
weights for the current and preceding
years. (Components of real output are
weighted by price, and components of
prices are weighted by output.) These
annual changes are chained (multiplied)
together to form a time series that allows
for the effects of changes in relative
prices and changes in the composition of
output over time. Quarterly and monthly
changes are based on quarterly and
monthly weights, respectively.
Income, Expenditures, Poverty, and Wealth 431

U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2011

The output indexes are expressed as


2005 = 100, and for recent years, in 2005
dollars; the price indexes are also based
to 2005 = 100. For more information on
chaineddollar indexes, see the article on
this subject in the November 2003 issue
of the Survey of Current Business.

historical costs and reflect changes over


time in service lives and depreciation
patterns as permitted by tax regulations.
Inventory valuation adjustment represents
the difference between the book value of
inventories used up in production and the
cost of replacing them.

Chained (2005) dollar estimates of most


components of GDP are not published
for periods prior to 1990, because
during periods far from the base period,
the levels of the components may provide misleading information about their
contributions to an aggregate. Values are
published in index form (2005 = 100) for
1929 to the present to allow users to
calculate the percent changes for all
components, which are accurate for all
periods. In addition, BEA publishes
estimates of contributions of major
components to the percent change in
GDP for all periods.

Personal income is the current income


received by persons from all sources
minus their personal contributions
for government social insurance.
Classified as persons are individuals
(including owners of unincorporated
firms), nonprofit institutions that primarily
serve individuals, private trust funds, and
private noninsured welfare funds.
Personal income includes personal
current transfer receipts (payments not
resulting from current production) from
government and business such as social
security benefits, public assistance, etc.,
but excludes transfers among persons.
Also included are certain nonmonetary
types of income chiefly, estimated net
rental value to owner-occupants of their
homes and the value of services furnished
without payment by financial intermediaries. Capital gains (and losses) are
excluded.

Gross national product measures the


output attributable to all labor and
property supplied by United States
residents. GNP differs from national
income mainly in that GNP includes
allowances for depreciationthat is,
consumption of fixed capital.
National income includes all net incomes
net of consumption of fixed capital (CFC),
earned in production. National income
is the sum of compensation of employees, proprietors income with inventory
valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital
consumption adjustment (CCAdj), rental
income of persons with CCAdj, corporate
profits with IVA and CCAdj, net interest
and miscellaneous payments, taxes on
production and imports, business
current transfer payments (net), and
current surplus of government enterprises, less subsidies.
Capital consumption adjustment for
corporations and for nonfarm sole
proprietorships and partnerships is the
difference between capital consumption
based on income tax returns and capital
consumption measured using empirical
evidence on prices of used equipment
and structures in resale markets, which
have shown that depreciation for most
types of assets approximates a geometric
pattern. The tax return data are valued at

Disposable personal income is personal


income less personal current taxes. It
is the income available to persons for
spending or saving. Personal current
taxes are tax payments (net of refunds)
by persons (except personal contributions
for government social insurance) that
are not chargeable to business expense.
Personal taxes include income taxes,
personal property taxes, motor vehicle
licenses, and other miscellaneous taxes.
Gross domestic product by
industryThe BEA also prepares
estimates of value added by industry.
Value added is a measure of the contribution of each private industry and of government to the nations GDP. It is defined
as an industrys gross output (which
consists of sales or receipts and other
operating income, commodity taxes, and
inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (which consists of energy,
raw materials, semi-finished goods, and
services that are purchased from domestic
industries or from foreign sources). These
estimates of value added are produced for

432 Income, Expenditures, Poverty, and Wealth

61 private industries and for 4 government classificationsfederal general


government and government enterprises
and state and local general government
and government enterprises.

Consumer Expenditure Survey


The Consumer Expenditure Survey
program was begun in 1980. The principal objective of the survey is to collect
current consumer expenditure data, which
provide a continuous flow of data on the
buying habits of American consumers.
The data are necessary for future revisions of the Consumer Price Index.

The estimates by industry are available


in current dollars and are derived from
the estimates of gross domestic income,
which consists of three components
the compensation of employees, gross
operating surplus, and taxes on production and imports, less subsidies. Real,
or inflation-adjusted, estimates are also
prepared.
Regional Economic Accounts
These accounts consist of estimates of
state and local area personal income and
of gross domestic product by state and
are consistent with estimates of personal
income and gross domestic product in
the Bureaus national economic accounts.
BEAs estimates of state and local area
personal income provide a framework
for analyzing individual state and local
economies, and they show how the
economies compare with each other.
The personal income of a state and/or
local area is the income received by, or
on behalf of, the residents of that state or
area. Estimates of labor and proprietors
earnings by place of work indicate the
economic activity of business and
government within that area, and
estimates of personal income by place of
residence indicate the income within the
area that is available for spending. BEA
prepares estimates for states, counties,
metropolitan areas, and BEA economic
areas.
Gross domestic product by state estimates
measure the value added to the nations
production by the labor and property in
each state. GDP by state is often considered the state counterpart of the nations
GDP. The GDP by state estimates provide the basis for analyzing the regional
impacts of national economic trends. GDP
by state is measured as the sum of the
distributions by industry and state of the
components of gross domestic income;
that is, the sum of the costs incurred and
incomes earned in the production of GDP
by state. The GDP estimates are presented
in current dollars and in real (chained
dollars) for 63 industries.

The survey conducted by the Census


Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics
consists of two components:
(1) an interview panel survey in which
the expenditures of consumer units are
obtained in five interviews conducted
every 3 months, and (2) a diary or
recordkeeping survey completed by
participating households for two
consecutive 1-week periods.
Each component of the survey queries
an independent sample of consumer
units representative of the U.S. total
population. Over 52 weeks of the year,
7,000 consumer units are sampled for the
diary survey. Each consumer unit keeps
a diary for two 1-week periods yielding
approximately 14,000 diaries a year.
The interview sample is selected on a
rotating panel basis, targeted at 7,000
consumer units per quarter. Data are
collected in 91 areas of the country that
are representative of the U.S. total population. The survey includes students in
student housing. Data from the two
surveys are combined; integration is
necessary to permit analysis of total
family expenditures because neither the
diary nor quarterly interview survey was
designed to collect a complete account of
consumer spending.
Distribution of money income to
families and individuals
Money income statistics are based on
data collected in various field surveys
of income conducted since 1936. Since
1947, the Census Bureau has collected
the data on an annual basis and published
them in Current Population Reports,
P60 Series. In each of the surveys, field
representatives interview samples of
the population with respect to income
received during the previous year. Money
income as defined by the Census Bureau
differs from the BEA concept of personal
income. Data on consumer income

Income, Expenditures, Poverty, and Wealth 433

U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2011

collected in the CPS by the Census Bureau


cover money income received (exclusive
of certain money receipts such as capital
gains) before payments for personal
income taxes, social security, union dues,
medicare deductions, etc. Therefore,
money income does not reflect the fact
that some families receive part of their
income in the form of noncash benefits
(see Section 11) such as food stamps,
health benefits, and subsidized housing;
that some farm families receive noncash
benefits in the form of rent-free housing
and goods produced and consumed on
the farm; or that noncash benefits are
also received by some nonfarm residents,
which often take the form of the use of
business transportation and facilities,
full or partial payments by business
for retirement programs, medical and
educational expenses, etc. These
elements should be considered when
comparing income levels. None of the
aggregate income concepts (GDP, national
income, or personal income) is exactly
comparable with money income, although
personal income is the closest.
PovertyFamilies and unrelated
individuals are classified as being above
or below poverty following the Office of
Management and Budgets Statistical
Policy Directive 14. The Census Bureau
uses a set of thresholds that vary by
family size and composition.
The poverty calculation is based solely
on money income and does not reflect
the fact that many low-income persons
receive noncash benefits such as food
stamps, medicaid, and public housing.

The original thresholds were based on


the U.S. Department of Agricultures
1961 Economy Food Plan and reflected
the different consumption requirements
of families. The poverty thresholds are
updated every year to reflect changes in
the Consumer Price Index. The following technical changes to the thresholds
were made in 1981: (1) distinctions based
on sex of householder were eliminated,
(2) separate thresholds for farm families
were dropped, and (3) the matrix was
expanded to families of nine or more
persons from the old cutoff of seven or
more persons. These changes were incorporated in the calculation of poverty data
beginning with 1981. Besides the Census
Bureau Web site at <http://www.census
.gov/hhes/www/poverty/poverty.html>,
information on poverty guidelines and
research may be found at the
U.S. Department of Human Services
Web site at <http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty
/index.shtml>.
In the recent past, the Census Bureau has
published a number of technical papers
and reports that presented experimental
poverty estimates based on income
definitions that counted the value of
selected government noncash benefits.
The Census Bureau has also published
reports on aftertax income.

of statistical collection and estimation,
sampling procedures, and measures of

Bureau data, see Appendix III.

a 28,000 household sample expansion to 78,000 households. 3 Beginning with the 2003 Current Population Survey (CPS), the
questionnaire allowed respondents to choose more than one race. For 2002 and later, data represent persons who selected this
race group only and exclude persons reporting more than one race. The CPS in prior years allowed respondents to report only one
race group. See also comments on race in the text for Section 1. 4 Data represent White alone, which refers to people who reported
White and did not report any other race category. 5 Data represent Black alone, which refers to people who reported Black and did

Table 693. Share of Aggregate Income Received by Each Fifth and


Top 5 Percent of Households: 1970 to 2008
[Households as of March of the following year, (64,778 represents 64,778,000). Income in constant 2008 CPI-U-RS-adjusted
dollars. The shares method ranks households from highest to lowest on the basis of income and then divides them into groups of
equal population size, typically quintiles. The aggregate income of each group is then divided by the overall aggregate income to
derive shares. Based on the Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC); see text, this section
and Section 1, and Appendix III. For data collection changes over time, see <http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/data

462 Income, Expenditures, Poverty, and Wealth

U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2011

Table 708. Individuals and Families Below Poverty LevelNumber and Rate
by State: 2000 and 2008
[In thousands (33,311 represents 33,311,000), except as indicated. Represents number and percent below poverty in the past
12 months. Prior to 2006, the American Community Survey universe was limited to the household population and excluded the
population living in institutions, college dormitories, and other group quarters. Poverty status was determined for all people except
institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years
old. These groups were excluded from the numerator and denominator when calculating poverty rates. Based on a sample and
subject to sampling variability; see Appendix III]

Implementation of a new March CPS processing system. 8 Implementation of 1990 census population controls. 9 The March 1994
income supplement was revised to allow for the coding of different income amounts on selected questionnaire items. Limits either
increased or decreased in the following categories: earnings increased to $999,999; social security increased to $49,999; supplemental security income and public assistance increased to $24,999; veterans benefits increased to $99,999; child support and
alimony decreased to $49,999. 10 Implementation of Census-2000-based population controls. 11 Implementation of sample expansion by 28,000 households. 12 Beginning with the 2003 Current Population Survey (CPS), the questionnaire allowed respondents
to choose more than one race. For 2002 and later, data represent persons who selected this race group only and exclude persons
reporting more than one race. The CPS in prior years allowed respondents to report only one race group. See also comments on
race in the text for Section 1, Population. 13 Data have been revised to reflect a correction to the weights in the 2005 ASEC.

Implementation of 1990 census population controls. 7 The March 1994 income supplement was revised to allow for the coding of
different income amounts on selected questionnaire items. Limits either increased or decreased in the following categories: earnings increased to $999,999; social security increased to $49,999; supplemental security income and public assistance increased
to $24,999; veterans benefits increased to $99,999; child support and alimony decreased to $49,999. 8 Implementation of Census
2000-based population controls. 9 Implementation of sample expansion to 28,000 households. 10 Beginning with the 2003 Current
Population Survey (CPS), the questionnaire allowed respondents to choose more than one race. For 2002 and later, data represent
persons who selected this race group only and excludes persons reporting more than one race. The CPS in prior years allowed
respondents to report only one race group. See also comments on race in the text for Section 1. 11 Data have been revised to reflect
a correction to the weights in the 2005 Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC).
