Net Worth Percentile by Age
Net worth percentiles show where a household stands compared to others of the same age. Younger households typically have lower median net worth, while older households accumulate more assets and equity over time. Federal data groups families by age brackets to compare medians and percentiles across the distribution.
Net Worth Percentile by State
Net worth percentiles also vary by state due to differences in housing costs, income levels, and cost of living. States with higher median incomes and rising home values often show higher net worth at many percentiles. Regional differences mean the same percentile can represent very different financial positions depending on location.
How to Use Net Worth Percentile Data
Use net worth percentile tables to benchmark your financial position, set goals, and understand how age and state affect wealth. Comparing your net worth to relevant percentiles can help you assess progress relative to peers in similar age groups and regions.
