A consumer unit consists of any of the following: (1) All members of a particular household who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or other legal arrangements; (2) a person living alone or sharing a household with others or living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in permanent living quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or more persons living together who use their incomes to make joint expenditure decisions. Financial independence is determined by spending behavior with regard to the three major expense categories: Housing, food, and other living expenses. To be considered financially independent, the respondent must provide at least two of the three major expenditure categories, either entirely or in part.
As of 2024, the average expenditure per consumer unit on furniture amounted to around 648.24 U.S. dollars in the United States. This figure falls into the range of 501 to 1,000 U.S. dollars, which about 20 percent of American shoppers expected to spend on furniture in 2024.Â
