Costs of Maintaining a Four Person City Family Varies
The Labor Department estimates a four person city family needs about 6000 dollars annually for modest living. A survey across 20 cities shows costs from 5370 in Houston to 6567 in Chicago with income around 7000 to 7500 dollars, typically 15 to 20 percent above budgets. The budget assumes an employed husband age 38, a nonworking wife, a daughter eight, and a son thirteen in a large city. The study priced items in each city after balancing nutritional and other needs.
