Abstract
Three hypotheses relating to housing expenditures are developed and tested with analysis of a pilot study, a local survey, and national household data. The results reveal distributions of housing expenditures and percentage of income spent for housing that suggest relationships or new “rules” for this era. Research in these distributions of expenditures is needed for measuring consumer If amity economic well-being, for providing information for decisions about resource allocations, and for developing consumption theories. Directions for future research are suggested.
