The descriptive statistics entries below are based on the family weights for 1996. This variable is the sum of the five 1996 variables below: Taxable Income of Head and Wife, Transfer Income of Head and Wife, Taxable Income of Other Family Unit Members (OFUMs), Transfer Income of OFUMs, and Social Security Income.
