Stratified multi-stage systematic sampling method was used in the survey.
Households were selected from urban and rural areas of Turkey. Settlements with population equal to or more than 20,001 belonged to the urban areas. Settlements with population equal to or less than 20,000 belonged to rural areas.
Turkey was divided into blocks, each of them had approximately 200 households. Sample blocks were selected from those blocks by using probability proportional to size sampling method. Households were systematically selected from each block. A household living at the selected address was defined as a final sampling unit.
Nonresponse rate was 16 % in rural areas, 22.1 % in urban areas, and 20.3 % in Turkey overall.
Results of the survey have been weighted and published by the most recent population projections. Until 2007, population projections were calculated based on the general population censuses.
In 2007 Address Based Population Registration System (ABPRS) was established. There were some differences in the distribution of population by age, sex and regions in ABPRS compared to the censuses. New population projections were produced using the most recent population data obtained from the new system. National and regional population projections were renewed. Weights based on new population projections have been used in the Turkey household consumption and income survey since 2007.
The questionnaire was redesigned to match international standards, using recommendations from "Household Budget Surveys in European Union, Methodology and Recommendations for Harmonization," the publication of the Statistical Office of the European Communities (EUROSTAT).
Two basic groups of variables have been obtained from the survey:
Three different classifications were used in 2004 HBS:

Face-to-face interviews and expenditure recording books were used to gather data for the survey.
During the first visit to the selected households, interviewers gather information on the socio-economic status of the households and deliver books to record expenditure. They also explain how these books should be filled in.
Overall, interviewers visit households eight times in the survey month. During these visits, expenditures of the sample households on food, clothing, health care, transportation, communication, education, culture, entertainment, housing, furniture and other are obtained using expenditure books and interviewing method.
During the last interview, information on the employment status, economic activities, occupation, performance in occupations, and income of the members of the household in the survey month and the last year, is gathered.
