USDA confirms:
Raising child is costly
"It the family money doesn’t seem
to go as far as it used to, it may be
because you have teen-agers in the
family," says Alice Mills Morrow,
Oregon Slate University Extension
family economics specialist.
Parents have complained for years
about the money they spend on a high
school-aged boy or girl. The com
plaints reflect reality, according to
new figures from the U.S. Department
of Agriculture about the cost of raising
a child.
I he 1984 estimated cost for a one-
year-old is $4,727, while the cost for a
16 or 17-year-old is $6,527.
I he figures for I9R4 show it costs
more than $95,(XX) to raise a child in a
•‘moderate" income family from birth
to age IK in an urban setting in the
West, Morrow reports. "M oderate"
is defined as family income of about
$15,(XX) for a family of three, $20,(XX)
for a family of four, and $3.),(XX) for a
family of five.
I he cost in a western urban setting
is $96.4K4, while it reaches $100,821 in
a rural non-farm setting.
Based on information from families
with children, the cost estimates repre
sent average expenditures tor a child at
a given age or the child's share of fam
ily expenses for such items as housing
and transportation, she explains.
The estimates can’t be interpreted
as precise costs for a particular family,
but are general estimates of what fam
dies sent on their children in certain
circumstances-. Each family may spend
more or less on its children.
The cost estimates don’t include all
the money spent on a girl or boy, the
specialist notes Tor instance, the fig
ures don't include the cost of birth,
savings lor education beyond high
school, or costs not paid directly by
parents by such government-provided
services as schools, libraries or parks.
Of the total spent, USDA estimates
that 20 percent goes tor food-al-home,
33 percent for housing, 16 percent for
transportation, 13 percent for "other
expenses,” and 6 percent each for
clothing and medical care.
Ihe lowest categories are food
away-from-home, 3 percent, and ed
ucation, 2 percent.
families interested in projecting esti
mated costs over the life of a child
need to consider projections for future
price increases. Assuming an annual
inflation rate of 5 percent, for in
stance, the cost of raising a child born
in I9K4 to age IK would be a b o u t’
$220,000 in urban areas and $231,000
in the rural non (arm setting. Morrow
explains.
I Inless family income increases with
the inflation rate and with the age of
the child, the family’s money won’t go
as tar as it once did, the specialist adds
" I h is doesn’t mean the family isn’t
managing its income well, it simply re
flects the increased costs.”
