Description

FBUSINC reports the total pre-tax net business, professional practice, and farm income, for the previous calendar year, of all age 14+ members of the household head's family, excluding the household head. (The household head's income from these sources is reported in the person-record variable INCBUSFM.)

FBUSINC does not include the business and farm income of family members who were part of the household during the previous calendar year but who were no longer present by census time.

This variable is only available for 1950. FBUSINC is a 5-digit numeric code which reports the previous calendar year's total pre-tax net business, professional practice, and farm income of all age 14+ members of the household head's family, excluding the household head (The household head's income from these sources is reported in the person-record variable INCBUSFM). FBUSINC does not include the business and farm income of family members who were part of the household during the previous calendar year but who were no longer present by census time. FBUSINC specific variable codes for missing, edited, or unidentified observations, observations not applicable (N/A), observations not in universe (NIU), top and bottom value coding, etc. are provided below by Census year (and data sample if specified).

FBUSINC Specific Variable Codes
10000 = $10,000 or more (Topcode)
99998 = Not ascertained
99999 = N/A

Comparability

This variable is only available for 1950. Only in that year did the census gather information on business and farm income for a collective group-the relatives of the household head-rather than for each person individually. FBUSINC is one of the components of total family income, which is given for 1950 and subsequent years in FTOTINC. (See FTOTINC for further discussion.)

User Note:
FBUSINC is only available for households with sample-line heads. Researchers must apply the person-record variable SLWT(sample-line weight) to produce representative statistics for FBUSINC.
