Evidence

Direct data

  • 2025 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) reports 2024 U.S. Household wealth, not 2022 SCF Family wealth.
  • Household wealth means assets owned less debts owed; excludes pension-plan equity and home furnishings.
  • Published P10 is USD0 and includes zero or negative wealth. The source does not disclose separate exactly-zero and negative shares; exact rank at zero is unknown. Values from USD0 up to but not including the verified USD20,760 P25 threshold receive only a below-P25 bound, not zero-anchored interpolation.
  • P50 is a weighted interpolated median published by Census. The other published quantiles use standard weighted methods.
  • The registered direct support is P10–P90 only. No modeled P95/P99, household-to-family conversion, FX/PPP or fabricated tails.
