The present study examines the household expenditure pattern of cycle rickshaw pullers with special reference to inter-community variation in expenditure behaviour. The study is based on primary data collected from 370 cycle rickshaw pullers through a field survey. Descriptive statistical techniques such as averages and percentages have been used to analyse the structure of household expenditure, while One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) has been employed to examine the statistical significance of expenditure variation across social groups. The findings reveal that household expenditure is largely concentrated on essential consumption needs, with food grains accounting for the highest share of total monthly expenditure, followed by children’s education. Expenditure on drink and smoking exceeds spending on health, entertainment, and rickshaw maintenance, reflecting the economic vulnerability and consumption priorities of the households. Community-wise analysis indicates moderate variation in expenditure patterns among different social groups. However, ANOVA results show that differences across most expenditure categories are statistically insignificant, except for housing expenditure, which exhibits significant inter-community variation. The study highlights the subsistence-oriented economic condition of cycle rickshaw pullers and the limited scope for welfare-oriented household expenditure.
