Important context

Median net worth is dramatically lower than mean net worth because a small number of very wealthy households pull the average up. Median is a better benchmark. Net worth percentile is not a measure of financial health. A doctor 3 years out of training with $300,000 in student debt and $50,000 saved may be in a low percentile today but on an excellent trajectory. Context matters more than ranking. ×DON'T TRUST, VERIFYClaim: Percentile data drawn from the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), most recent wave.Verify at: Fed SCF ↗SCF published every 3 years. Figures here are approximations from the 2022 wave, to be updated when 2025 data releases.

Not financial advice. SCF data approximations from latest available wave.
