Figures are from the Federal Reserve’s 2025 Survey of Consumer Finances, released October 2026, in 2025 dollars. Each age uses households whose head is within about two years of it, so the line moves smoothly from one age to the next. Net worth is everything owned, including home equity and retirement accounts, minus everything owed. Future Social Security and pension payments are not counted.
