    Annual US household expenditures by income quintile from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey, 10-year rolling window: mean annual spending (nominal dollars) for total expenditures plus 7 Table-1101 major components — food, housing, apparel and services, transportation, healthcare, entertainment, personal insurance and pensions — for all consumer units and each income quintile (lowest/second/third/fourth/highest 20 percent). Carries category shares of total, the necessity share (food + housing), YoY change of total spending and of the necessity share, and each quintile's spending relative to the national average. Keyless BLS API v2. Who joins this: shops model demand-mix shifts as household budgets squeeze; subscription businesses read necessity_share_pct and total_yoy_pct by tier as downgrade/cancellation pressure; sales teams weight territories by quintile_vs_all_ratio.
