One comment on the linked page asks, where are taxes paid included?
I also wonder how this varies for adults who live alone vs. with someone such as a spouse, I would expect average individual cost of housing to be quite different. And what about those who are supporting children or other dependents? How is that shown?accounted for? Is it simply rolled in as an average number of dependents per adult?
- jltsiren 4y agoThe numbers are for average household spending by the age of the reference person. They are obviously far too high for individual spending. You can find the details behind the first link: https://www.bls.gov/cex/tables/calendar-year/mean-item-share-average-standard-error/reference-person-age-generation-2021.pdf https://www.bls.gov/cex/tables/calendar-year/mean-item-share... For example, the average Generation X household consists of 3.0 people, including 0.8 children and 0.1 adults of age 65 or older. There are 1.7 earners in the household.
