Net worth (or wealth) is an important indicator of economic well-being that provides important insights into a household’s economic health. This brief uses the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to examine household net worth in 2015 and compares it with net worth in 2014. We also discuss the ownership and ownership rates of household assets and liabilities.
