Public Use Microdata Order Form
A Brief Description of the Public Use Microdata
The Bureau of Labor Statistics sells CD-ROMs containing annual Consumer Expenditure (CE)
Survey public use microdata. The CD-ROMs contain either separate or various
combinations of Interview survey data, Diary survey data, EXPN files, and tabulated data
(see the contents section in the table for a particular years exact contents).
The Interview survey collects data on monthly expenditures for housing, apparel and services,
transportation, health care, entertainment, personal care, reading, education, food, tobacco,
cash contributions, and personal insurance and pensions, as well as income and characteristics
data. The Interview survey data are organized into four major data files for each quarter:
1) FMLY-a family characteristics and income file, 2) MEMB-a member characteristics and income
file, 3) MTAB-a detailed monthly expenditure file, 4) ITAB-a monthly income file, and 5) ITAB_Impute-a monthly imputed income file.
The Diary survey collects data on weekly expenditures of frequently purchased items such as
food at home, food away from home, alcoholic beverages, smoking supplies, personal care
products and services, and nonprescription drugs, as well as income and characteristics data.
The Diary survey data are organized into four major data files for each quarter:
1) FMLY-a family characteristics and income file, 2) MEMB-a member characteristics and income
file, 3) EXPN-detailed weekly expenditures, 4) DTAB-annual income, and 5) DTAB_Impute-a monthly imputed income file.
The EXPN files contain expenditure and non-expenditure information collected directly
from all of the major sections of the quarterly Interview survey. These files are more
detailed than the other Interview survey files alone.
For years prior to 1996 the microdata are available only in ASCII text format.
Beginning in 1996 the microdata are available in either ASCII text format or PC SAS data sets.
Using programs like SAS or SPSS users can extract and manipulate the data.
