The 1930's was the decade of the depression. for most families, life was very hard. Lots of people had very little to eat or wear. they found clothing wherever they could and sometimes shared their space with another family or two and those families pooled their money to pay for utilities and food. Some families who had spare rooms rented those rooms out for extra income.

Fewer women worked outside of the home and there were less modern conveniences so running a house was pretty much a full time job. Divorces were less common and single parent homes were more usual. The picture of mother at home, cooking for the family, washing and ironing, etc. and dad going off to work was more likely to be accurate. More people went to church on Sundays. There was no TV nor air-conditioning, so people were more likely to sit out on their porches and talk to their neighbors.
