How these figures are measured

  • Net worth is what a household owns (homes, retirement accounts, stocks, businesses, cars, bank accounts) minus what it owes (mortgages, student and car loans, credit cards). It can be below zero.
  • The typical household is the median: half have more and half less. Averages are much higher, because a few households are very rich.
  • Figures are from the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, taken every three years; the newest is 2025, in dollars of that year. Age is the age of the household head, and a household can be one person or a family.
  • The figures aren't adjusted for where you live, your income or the size of your household.
