Characteristics of the family head are compared with those of the family as a unit in extent to which they are associated with three criteria of family poverty. Analysis of data from a sample of 561 welfare applicants in four states reveal substantial interaction effects among the two sets of variables. Sex of family head is a major conditional variable. For female-headed families, characteristics of the family largely account for variation in family income, work history of the head, and welfare history of the family. For male- headed families, individual characteristics of the family head take precedence over family characteristics. There is little difference in family economics by race among male-headed families. But if black families have any additional disadvantage, they show a much more pronounced decline in economic status than do white families
