population is estimated at $364,000. This represents liquid assets in the form of bank accounts, shares in savings and loan associations, purchases of U. S. savings bonds and the like.
The figures are based upon data compiled by the Federal Reserve Board, the University of Michigan and others through national sampling surveys. They show that the amount of money a family puts into savings depends upon several factors, but especially upon its earnings.
Local families that have less than $4,000 available to them after taxes have little leeway and are unable to do much saving. Among those with net incomes of $7,500, an average of 6.2'percent is saved and, at $9,000, about 7.2 percent. It rises rapidly beyond this point.
In Rappahannock County, where the latest annual figures show a net, after-tax income of $5,647 per household, the average is 4.3 percent and the amount saved per household, approximately $240.
