Household Spending Patterns is a national database at the 6-digit postal code geographic level. It provides current year estimates of household expenditure on food, clothing, shelter, transportation, recreation, education and so on. A postal code in an urban area may indicate a specific city block-face (one side of a street between two intersecting streets), a single building or, in some cases, a large-volume mail receiver, or a specific rural community in rural areas. It constitutes one of the smallest and most natural geographic units with sustainable, sufficient and easily accessible information sources. The addressable feature of a postal code makes it a unique geographic reference for describing consumer spending patterns.
