Fed Releases 2025 Survey on American Family Finances
The Federal Reserve has published its 2025 Survey of Consumer Finances, offering detailed data on the economic condition of U.S. households.
The Federal Reserve Board released the results of its 2025 Survey of Consumer Finances on Monday, providing policymakers, researchers, and the general public with a comprehensive snapshot of the financial health of American families.
Conducted periodically by the Fed, the Survey of Consumer Finances is one of the most closely watched assessments of household wealth, income, debt, and savings in the United States. The data serves as a key resource for understanding how economic conditions and policy changes affect families across the income and wealth spectrum.

The survey's findings carry particular weight at a time when households have navigated a period of elevated inflation, rising interest rates, and shifting labor market conditions. Analysts and policymakers rely on the triennial report to gauge whether economic gains have been broadly shared or concentrated among higher-income groups.
The Federal Reserve uses the survey data to inform monetary policy deliberations and broader economic research, while outside economists and think tanks draw on the figures to track trends in retirement preparedness, homeownership, student debt, and consumer credit.
Full methodology, data tables, and analysis accompanying the 2025 Survey of Consumer Finances are available directly from the Federal Reserve Board. Continue reading at FRB: Press Release - All Releases.
