Monthly US household-spending panel, 1959-01 onward: personal consumption expenditures nominal (BEA, SAAR $B), the PCE price index (2017=100) as deflator, and resident population, plus real PCE in 2017 dollars, real per-capita PCE, 12-month and 3-month-annualized real growth, and a documented 0-100 spending_momentum_score with m1..m4 tiers. The spending side of the household balance sheet — complements (no column overlap) the live household_financial_pressure dataset, which carries the saving rate, debt-service ratio and real disposable income. Upstream: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis via FRED keyless fredgraph.csv (PCE, PCEPI, POPTHM). One row per month x USA; in-window nulls fail loudly, never imputed. Who joins this: online shops join revenue on year_month, subscription businesses join MRR and churn cohorts, sales teams read momentum_tier as the demand backdrop.

Column	Type	Description
month	date	First day of the calendar month. (unit: date)
year_month	string	Calendar month as YYYY-MM (panel join key). (unit: string)
country	string	Country name (shared normalization layer). (unit: string)
country_code	string	ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code (USA). (unit: string)
pce_saar_b	float	Personal consumption expenditures, nominal, seasonally adjusted annual rate, billions of dollars (FRED PCE; BEA NIPA table 2.3.5). (unit: billion USD (SAAR))
pcepi_idx	float	Personal consumption expenditures chain-type price index, 2017=100 (FRED PCEPI) — the deflator used for the real columns. (unit: index (2017=100))
population_k	float	Resident population including Armed Forces overseas, thousands of persons (FRED POPTHM). (unit: thousands of persons)
real_pce_2017d_b	float	PCE deflated by the PCE price index (pce_saar_b / pcepi_idx * 100), billions of 2017 dollars. (unit: billion 2017 USD)
real_pce_per_capita_usd	float	Real PCE per resident (real_pce_2017d_b * 1e9 / (population_k * 1000)), 2017 dollars. (unit: 2017 USD per person)
pce_yoy_pct	float	12-month percent change of nominal PCE (percent). Null for the first 12 months. (unit: percent)
real_pce_yoy_pct	float	12-month percent change of real PCE (percent). Null for the first 12 months. (unit: percent)
real_pce_3m_ann_pct	float	3-month annualized percent change of real PCE — the business-cycle-frequency demand pulse (percent). Null for the first 3 months. (unit: percent (annualized))
real_pce_per_capita_yoy_pct	float	12-month percent change of real per-capita PCE (percent). Null for the first 12 months. (unit: percent)
spending_momentum_score	float	Documented 0-100 composite = 100 * mean of the full-panel min-max normalizations of real_pce_yoy_pct and real_pce_3m_ann_pct; higher = stronger household demand momentum. (unit: score 0-100)
momentum_tier	string	Quartile of spending_momentum_score: m1 (weakest) to m4 (strongest), cut on the fixed 25/50/75 points. (unit: string)
row_hash	string	Deterministic 16-hex sha256 of year_month + the three level series (idempotency key). (unit: string)
