Survey release covers wealth and household conditions
The U.S. Census Bureau says the 2025 Survey of Income and Program Participation, or SIPP, details income and participation in assistance programs among individuals and households across the United States.Because SIPP is a longitudinal survey, it follows the same individuals over an extended period and measures shifts in economic well-being, family dynamics, education, assets, health insurance, child care and food security.
This release includes Wealth and Asset Ownership Data Tables with national and state measures of wealth and debt across demographic, social and household characteristics. The tables cover indicators such as home equity, retirement accounts, vehicle debt, credit card debt and student loans.
2024 household wealth brief adds policy context
The release also includes "Wealth of Households: 2024," a brief that uses the 2025 SIPP to examine household wealth in 2024. It looks at differences in asset and debt holding rates and variation in median household wealth by characteristics including education and income.The dataset and brief add to the information available for policymakers, researchers and businesses tracking consumer balance sheets and economic resilience in the U.S. Supporting materials published with the release include data dictionaries, the SIPP Online Codebook, an updated SIPP Users' Guide and a Source and Accuracy Statement.
Our previous report on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act outlined Washington’s most significant federal housing policy shift in decades, aimed at boosting supply and easing affordability pressures. We noted how the law links some community development grants to actual homebuilding, adjusts rules for manufactured housing to reduce costs, and streamlines parts of the Section 8 inspection and approval process. Together, these changes were framed as attempts to address a large housing shortage and improve housing-market conditions that feed directly into household balance sheets.
