The results show that income level is the most direct and fundamental factor impacting urban-rural residents' consumption, and eventually determines the consumption level and consumption structure of urban-rural residents; the consumption structure of urban-rural residents in Chongqing City takes on prominent dual structure. with conspicuous gap between urban areas and rural areas: the level of income and consumption of urban-rural residents in Chongqing City is lower than the national average, especially for the rural residents; the gap of income per capita and consumption per capita of rural residents in “One-hour Economic Circle” and “Two Wings” of Chongqing City is prominent. Corresponding policy suggestions are p a forward as follows: improve financial transfer payment system; quicken the pace of urbanization; coordinate urban-rural industrial development; guide farmers to establish correct consumption idea.
