USDA ESTIMATES OF THE COST OF RAISING A CHILD:
A GUIDE TO THEIR USE AND INTERPRETATION 1
by Carolyn S. Edwards 2
The Family Economics Research Group of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) has developed estimates of the cost of
raising a child (1-8).3 Originally intended for use in
providing budgetary guidance to individual families, these
estimates have also been adopted for use in a variety of legal,
social welfare, educational, and research situations (9-19).
For example, judges, attorneys, and expert witnesses have used
the estimates as guidelines in setting support payments for
children in divorce cases and in appraising damages arising
from personal injury, wrongful death, and malpractice claims.
Educators, financial advisers, and other professionals who work
with families, or who train those who will, have included the
child cost estimates in their resource materials. Researchers
have used the estimates in analyses of foster child needs,
fertility behavior, and other demographic and population topics.
In addition, the estimates have been quoted widely in newspapers
and popular publications.
This five-part guide starts with a description of what estimates
are available and short profiles of the cost of raising urban,
rural nonfarm, and farm children. The next section provides
important definitions and addresses the most frequently asked
questions on the use and interpretation-of the estimates.
Adjustments to make the estimates more applicable to specific
situations and the limitations associated with the use of these
adjustments are described. The third section describes resource
materials on additional issues related to the cost of raising
a child. The references are organized so that they correspond
to the topics covered in the guide. Finally, the appendix
includes the estimates, updated to June 1980 price levels.
Material in this guide includes (but is not limited to)
information from "Users' Guide to USDA Estimates of the Cost of
Raising a Child," parts 1 and 2, Family Economics Review,
summer 1979 and winter 1981.

AVAILABLE ESTIMATES
The USDA estimates of the cost of raising a child reflect
average annual and total expenditures by families for children
from birth to age 18 at several cost levels. Expenditures for
individual children of a given age or the child's share of
family expenditures is included for the following eight items
in the budget: Food at home, food away from home, clothing,
housing, medical care, education, transportation, and other.
The estimates have been developed as a result of two separate
but related research studies.
The first of these studies (5-8) was based on data from the
1960-61 Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES), a cooperative project
of the USDA and the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS). The estimates from this study reflect
expenditure patterns of families with husband and wife present
and with no more than five children. The costs were developed
separately for families living in the South, West, Northeast,
and North Central regions of the country and for those living in
urban, rural nonfarm, and farm settings. This first study
developed estimates at three cost levels--economy, low, and
moderate. Tables 8 and 9 (appendix) show cost estimates for
raising urban and rural nonfarm children, respectively, in each
of the four regions at three cost levels, adjusted to June 1980
price levels.
The second study (3), based on data from the USDA's 1973 Farm
Family Living Expenditure Survey (FFLES) and on procedures
modified from the first study, provides new estimates of the
cost of raising farm children. These newer costs replace the
farm child estimates from the first study. Unlike the earlier
estimates, they are not limited to families of a particular
type or size, nor are they specific to region in the country.
The newer farm child estimates provide costs by sex as well as
age of the child at four cost levels--thrifty (similar to the
economy level), low, moderate, and liberal. These estimates,
also adjusted to June 1980 price levels, are shown in table 10
(appendix).
The Cost of Raising The total cost of raising an urban child (table 8) from birth to
Urban Children age 18 in constant June 1980 dollars ranges from about $33,100
to $37,900 at the economy level, $43,400 to $52,200 at the low
level, and $69,200 to $76,700 at the moderate level depending on
the region in the country. Figure 1 shows this total cost
progression for the four regions.
Estimated annual costs rise with the age of the child. For
urban children they range from about $1,570 to $2,485 at the
economy level, $2,085 to $3,450 at the low level, and $3,255 to
$5,210 at the moderate level depending on the age and the
region. For example, figure 2 shows how costs increase with age
for children in the Northeastern region.

Housing takes the greatest share of the child rearing dollar,
followed by food at home and transportation. Estimated costs
for education and food away from home represent the smallest
proportion of the cost of raising urban children. The propor-
tions vary by cost level as indicated in.figure 3 for an urban
child in the North Central region.
The Cost of Raising The total cost of raising a rural nonfarm child (table 9) from
Rural Nonfarm birth to age 18 in constant June 1980 dollars ranges from about
Children $29,700 to $39,500 at the economy level, $43,400 to $55,600 at
the low level, and $64,600 to $79,900 at the moderate level
depending on the region in the country.
Annual costs for rural nonfarm children range from about $1,390
to $2,610 at the economy level, $2,050 to $3,700 at the low
level, and $2,940 to $5,440 at the moderate level depending on
the age and the region.
Figure 4 shows the rise in costs over the 18 years by budget
item for a rural nonfarm child in the North Central region
living in a family spending at the moderate cost level.
Regional Differences The cost estimates for urban and rural nonfarm children are
available by region and therefore allow regional comparisons.
There are considerable differences among the regions in the
absolute level of the child cost estimates but no consistent
pattern in these differences. Regional differences are greatest
for the rural nonfarm child. For this child, the highest
estimates for the West exceed the lowest for the North Central
region by almost 30 percent. The distribution of costs among
the budget items, on the other hand, shows few regional
differences. Most noteworthy is that food at home tends to take
a high proportion and transportation a low proportion of total
costs in the Northeast.
The Cost of Raising
Farm Children
The total cost of raising a farm child (table 10) from birth to
age 18 in constant June 1980 dollars is estimated at about
$36,500 at the thrifty4 level, $52,400 at the low level, $79,800
at the moderate level, and $120,500 at the liberal level.
Figure 5 shows this progression by cost level for farm boys.
The annual costs rise with the age of the child as shown in
figure 6. No substantial difference in costs by sex shows
up until later years when costs for boys are higher--primarily
because of higher transportation costs for teenage boys.
'Similar to the economy level of the urban and rural nonfarm
estimates.
Annual costs for farm boys range from about $1,650 to
$2,730 at
the thrifty level, $2,320 to $3,830 at the low level,

$5,790 at the moderate level, and $4,970 to $8,500 at the
liberal level depending on their age. Annual costs for girls
range from about $1,650 to $2,370 at the thrifty level, $2,320
to $3,360 at the low level, $3,380 to $5,210 at the moderate
level, and $5,080 to $7,790 at the liberal level depending on
their age.
The child's share of family housing is the most costly item in
the estimates as shown in figure 7. Food at home and transpor-
tation are generally second and third highest, followed by
education, medical care, and the other category. Estimates of
clothing and food away from home represent the smallest
proportions of the cost of raising a farm child.
The share of the expense of raising a farm child represented by
the different components of the budget differs by cost level.
At the lower cost levels, the proportions reflect the relative
importance of more necessary items; food and housing account for
more than two-thirds of the total costs, whereas education, in
which such optional expenditures as special lessons, private
schools, and extra books and supplies predominate, was estimated
as zero. At the higher levels, estimated costs for housing and
food at home, and, to a lesser degree, for medical care and
transportation, account for a smaller share of the total than
at the lower levels. At the liberal level, education and other
expenses become considerably more important.
Urbanization Differences Because the estimates for farm children reported here were
developed on different and more recent data using different
procedures than for the urban and rural nonfarm children, it is
not appropriate to compare these two groups. The more recent
farm child estimates replace the farm estimates developed in the
first study. A comparison among urban, rural nonfarm, and
farm child costs can be made from the earlier study (6). In
that study, little difference was found in these costs in the
South. Costs for the urban child were appreciably higher than
for the rural nonfarm and farm child in the North Central
region, but in the Northeast and West the rural nonfarm child
had the highest costs. In all regions, food and housing costs
of the urban child were generally higher than for a rural child
in the same region, whereas transportation costs were generally
lower. These findings, however, may be moderated by
differences in prices, quality, and availability of goods and
services between urban and rural locations.

USE AND INTERPRETATIONS
The cost estimates of raising a child represent average
expenditures for a child of a given age or the child's
share of family expenditures for such items as housing and
transportation. The estimates are based on information from
families with children at those ages and take into account the
needs, expenditure patterns, and family characteristics related
to the age of the child. The estimates reflect actual expendi-
tures of these families; they are not based on lists of goods
and services judged necessary to attain a specified standard of
adequacy and are never priced in the market.
Although the estimates account for many factors related to
family expenditures for children, they cannot be interpreted
as precise costs for raising a child in a particular family.
Rather, they are general estimates of what families under
certain circumstances spent on their children. This must be
borne in mind when the estimates are applied to specific
,families. Although the adjustments described here provide for
additional specificity, the many factors that affect
expenditures cannot be reflected and actual expenditures will
most certainly deviate.
The estimates emphasize direct costs, or out-of-pocket
expenditures, and therefore do not represent the total costs of
raising a child. The data on which they are based reflected
what families actually spent to achieve or maintain inventories
in the time period studied. The CES and FFLES data did not
measure family consumption that might be attributed to stocks
of durables, past expenditures, income-in-kind, gifts, or the
value of community services. Similarly, no account was made
for the value of personal services performed by family members
or for earnings given up while raising children.
The CES and the FFLES cross-section data present a detailed
picture of the spending patterns of the population at one
point in time--the early 1960's for the urban and rural nonfarm
estimates and the early 1970's for the farm estimates. The
cost figures from birth to age 18 as presented in tables 8-10,
therefore, do not reflect the change in level and mix of goods
and services available to or consumed by one household as a
5The information in this section is general and applicable to
the estimates from both studies. Users should realize, however,
that although a similar overall approach was applied to both
data bases (4), changes in data collection, variable definition,
and estimation procedures were inevitable and, in some cases,
desirable. The estimates from the two studies are therefore not
directly comparable. Users needing more specific detail should
refer to the original papers (3, 6), available from the Family
Economics Research Group.

result of changes in prices, income, or preferences experienced
as the child grows. Instead, the estimates represent the
experience and behavior of different families with children at
various ages and expenditure patterns prevalent at the time the
data were collected.
The levels of the estimates are based on spending patterns
associated with food consumption at the levels of the USDA food
plans. The use of the food plans as a benchmark for the cost
levels of the estimates requires two assumptions. First, it
assumes that groups of families who are spending at similar
cost levels on food are living at similar levels. Second, it
implies that families spend at similar levels on all items of
consumption--the family that spends at the moderate level for
food also spends at the moderate level for housing.
There are several advantages to developing the estimates at
levels of expenditure related to food costs as oppoosed to
levels of income. The method allows factors that influence
family spending on children to be taken into account,
including nutritional needs, family size, and family
composition. The resulting estimates may be adjusted for
changes in prices. In addition, the estimates may be used in
conjunction with the other USDA guidance materials--the food
plans and clothing budgets (20-29).
Selection of cost level.--Users of the estimates often ask
which cost level they should use and how these levels relate
to family income. Table 1 may be used to select the appropriate
cost level. It shows the food plan appropriate for families
based on their size and income. Users should note that table 1
was designed for selection of the appropriate food plan. It
therefore provides general guidance for selecting the appro-
priate level of the child cost estimates. Individual families
may want to consider other factors in addition to their size
and income.
The estimates were developed holding the cost level constant.
In other words, the estimates do not reflect changes in income
or level of living typically experienced by families as their
children age. This allows for cost comparisons, such as by
age of child, within and between the cost levels. Such
comparisons can be very important to some users since they
allow cost evaluations under varying circumstances. Consider-
ation can be made for changes over the life cycle by combining
figures at different cost levels. For example, it might be
assumed that a child was raised for several years at one cost
level and for other years at another depending on changes in
income, family size, or both.

Economy and thrifty levels.--The lowest cost level of the urban
and rural nonfarm estimates (tables 8 and 9) is the economy
level, whereas the lowest level of the farm estimates (table 10)
is the thrifty level. This difference is related to changes in
the food plan levels (20, 22). Users of the child cost
estimates should consider the economy and thrifty cost levels
as equivalent.
Liberal cost level.--Users also note that the food plans include
a liberal cost level, whereas the urban and rural nonfarm child
estimates are only available at the economy, low, and moderate
cost levels. The farm child estimates are available at all
four cost levels--thrifty, low, moderate, and liberal. When
users need estimates of the cost of raising urban and rural
nonfarm children at the liberal level, they may adjust the
moderate cost totals by adding 30 percent. This is an approxi-
mation, derived by comparing the differences between the
moderate and liberal cost levels of the farm child estimates
and of the food plan costs. Because different items in the
budget do not increase with cost level at the same rate, users
should consider this adjustment as a general guideline and
increase only the annual and 18-year all-item totals, not the
individual budget item cost estimates or their totals.
Region and Urbanization The estimates for urban and rural nonfarm children developed
in the first study are specific to region and urbanization.

Census and include these States:

Alaska and Hawaii were not represented. The District of
Columbia was included in the South. Estimates for a U.S.
average were not developed in the first study. If such an
indicator is necessary, use of the estimates for the North
Central region is most appropriate.
The definition of urbanization used in the CES data and
reflected in the estimates from the first study included urban,
rural nonfarm, and farm. Urban included incorporated places
with a population of 2,500 or more or the densely settled areas
immediately adjacent to cities with a population of 50,000 or
more. Rural nonfarm included those areas outside urban areas
but not classified as farm. To be a farm, a 10-acre parcel
needed sales of at least $50 per year; a parcel of less than
10 acres needed sales of at least $250. This definition of a
farm was also used for the FFLES and the farm estimates in the
more recent study.
Metropolitan Location Although the child cost estimates are specific to region and
urbanization, differences due to metropolitan location could
not be considered. Users often ask about adjustments that can
be made to incorporate such differences. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) publishes, as part of its Urban Family Budget
program, indexes of intercity costs (71, 74). These indexes,
which are based on the costs of the BLS family budgets at 3 cost
levels in 23 metropolitan areas in the continental United
States, use costs in the urban United States as a base (= 100).
These indexes, which have been recalculated (using published
and unpublished data) by employing urban costs in each region
as the base, are shown in table 2. They may be used to adjust
the estimates of the cost of raising a child to reflect cost
differences due to location in 1 of the 23 metropolitan areas
listed.

The three cost levels defined by the BLS are derived very
differently from the four cost levels defined by the USDA for
the child cost estimates and thus do not coincide. Generally,
however, the use of the BLS intermediate index is acceptable
to adjust the USDA moderate cost level, the higher index to
adjust the USDA liberal cost level, and the lower index to
adjust the USDA low cost level. There is no BLS index compa-
rable to the USDA economy or thrifty level; the best one can do
is apply the BLS lower cost index.
For example, a family living in the Washington, D.C., metro-
politan area at the moderate cost level would increase the USDA
moderate cost estimate of raising a child for the Southern
region by 20 percent to reflect its metropolitan location
within the region.
Users have also asked if it is appropriate to use the Consumer
Price Indexes (CPI's) specific to city population size classes
or metropolitan locations to adjust the child cost estimates
for a particular location. Although these indexes provide
information on relative changes in prices over time, they do
not provide an adjustment for the initial differential between
costs in the regions and costs in more specifically defined
locations. Users who have incorporated this difference by
adjusting the estimates for the metropolitan location with 1 of
the 23 indexes from table 2 could, however, appropriately use
the CPI for the corresponding metropolitan location to adjust
for changes in prices.
Price Level Adjustments Users may wish to make adjustments to the price levels so that
the estimates will suit their particular needs. The estimates
may be updated or backdated using the instructions and appro-
priate subindexes of the Consumer Price Index provided in
table 3. Each budget category should be adjusted individually
to reflect differential price level changes among budget items.
Constant and current dollars.--Before adjusting the price
levels, users should determine whether constant or current
dollar figures are more suitable to their needs. The estimates
in tables 8-10 are expressed in constant June 1980 dollars and
assume that the child progresses through 18 years at June 1980
price levels. For example, the 18-year total cost of raising a
child in the urban North Central region at the moderate cost level
is $25,229 in annual average 1960 dollars. That total is $32,830
in annual average 1970 dollars and $69,333 in annual average 1980
dollars. Constant dollar estimates are appropriate when
interest is with the present costs of raising children of
different ages or in making comparisons between years. They are
not appropriate for determining the total cost of raising one

'The revised Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners and clerical workers (CPI-W)
replaced the unrevised CPI; use the revised indexes as shown for adjusting estimates
to price levels prevalent in 1978 and forward; use the unrevised CPI as shown for
adjusting estimates to price levels from 1953 to 1977.
Note: To adjust the price levels of the estimates of the cost of raising a child
to specific year price levels, multiply the June 1980 estimates (tables 8, 9, and 10)
for each budget category by the index for that category for the desired year and divide
the product by the corresponding index for June 1980. For example, to update June 1980
costs for housing to annual average 1980 prices, multiply the June 1980 estimate for
housing by 263.2 and divide by 266.9. To backdate June 1980 costs for housing to 1968
prices, multiply the June 1980 estimate for housing by 104.2 and divide by 266.9.

child, the "Personal and educational expenses" index replaced the "Reading and
recreation" index; the average of the "Personal care" and the "Personal and
educational expenses" indexes replaced the average of the "Personal care" and the
"Reading and recreation" indexes.
3Users who do not want to carry out all the individual budget items calculations and
who are interested only in the annual all budget item totals may use the "All items"
index without a great deal of distortion from the price adjusted totals that are
obtained by applying the individual subindexes and then summing over the adjusted
budget item costs.

child; they are too high, for example, for the child who reaches
age 18 in June 1980 and too low for the child born at that time.
When concern is with past or future costs of raising an
individual child or a group of children born at a given time,
current dollar estimates should be used. Current dollar
estimates reflect not only changes in costs associated with the
growth of the child and family composition adjustments but also
price changes actually experienced over the 18 years of the
child's life. Users should, of course, also consider changes
in income that generally coincide with changes in prices when
interpreting current dollar estimates.
Table 4 shows current dollar estimates of the cost of raising
a child born in 1960 and in 1979 at the moderate cost level in
the urban North Central region. The current dollar estimate
for a child born in 1960 is $34,274 compared with the constant
annual average 1960 estimate of $25,229 or the constant June
1980 estimate of $69,232 (table 8). This current dollar estimate
was calculated by applying the 1960 indexes to the estimated
costs of the infancy year, the 1961 indexes to the age 1
estimates, and so on for the remaining years and adding to
arrive at the total.
Future costs.--If users are interested in projecting costs over
the life of a child, as in anticipating support costs to be
incurred for a particular child, they would want to consider
projections for future price changes. By assuming a rate of
future inflation, it is possible to adjust the cost estimates
forward and thus arrive at a projected cost to raise a child.
For example, the estimated annual cost of a 5-year-old in an
urban North Central region at the moderate level adjusted to
1979 price levels is $3,065. Assuming an annual rate of
inflation of 8 percent, the cost in 1984 for a 5-year-old born
in 1979 would become $4,503. To arrive at this figure, inflate
the estimated annual cost of raising a 5-year-old in 1979
dollars, assuming 8 percent annual inflation compounded over
5 years--the number of years until the child would reach age 5
in 1984. Thus, the projected cost for any given year of age
specific to prices assumed prevalent in a given year may be
represented by the following equation:
CRCF = CRCP (1 + i)n
where: CRCF = future or projected annual cost of
raising a child of a given age in
a given year
CRCP = present cost of raising a child of
that age in current dollars

Approved For Release 2008/09/17: CIA-RDP90B01370R000100110032-4
i = assumed rate of inflation per time
interval
n = number of time intervals from present
to time child will reach that age
or: $4,503 = $3,065 (1.08)5. To arrive at a total for 18
years, apply the formula for each year. For example, assuming
an annual inflation rate of 8 percent6 over the first 18 years
of the child's life, the cost of raising the child born in
1979 in the urban North Central region at the moderate cost
level would be $134,414.7 Assuming an annual inflation rate of
10 percent would increase this 18-year total to $165,334; an
annual inflation rate of 12 percent would increase the total
to $204,051.
Alternative CPI's.--Users have asked if it would be more
appropriate to use the Consumer Price Indexes that are specific
to region to adjust the price levels of the region--specific
child cost estimates. Use of the regional CPI's would provide
more precise adjustment for movements in prices by region than
the indexes in table 3. Similarly, the CPI's that are specific
to metropolitan locations would provide a more precise price
adjustment to child cost estimates that had been adjusted to
corresponding metropolitan location cost differences as
described in the previous section. However, the metropolitan-
specific indexes are not available as a continuous series over
a long period of time, as are those in table 3, and thus do not
allow for adjustments over long time spans, such as the 18 years
of a child's life. Although recent changes in these indexes
will allow their use in the future, the U.S. city average CPI's
in table 3 are generally applicable to all the child cost
estimates and are more readily available. They provide a
continuous series covering a substantial time span and are thus
suggested as most appropriate.
Limitations of price level adjustments.--Users should be
reminded that price level adjustments only capture changes in
prices. To the extent that families have changed their
allocation of total resources, or have changed their allocation
of resources among family members or among components of child

1974 through 1979.
7If annual all-item totals are all that are needed, these
calculations can be applied to the annual totals as in this
example. The item estimate breakdowns in table 4 were arrived
at by carrying out these calculations for each budget item
estimate and then summing. Except for a rounding error, either
method will yield the same totals.
