The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) is a longitudinal survey that provides comprehensive information about income and assistance program participation of individuals and households in the United States. The survey collects data and measures changes in characteristics like economic well-being, family dynamics, education, assets, health insurance, child care, and food security.
SIPP data tables provide wealth and debt measures at the nation and state levels. National estimates offer detailed wealth and debt statistics for a variety of demographic, social and household characteristics. These measures include information on major contributors to wealth such as home equity and retirement accounts, as well as common types of debt such as vehicle debt, credit card debt and student loans. The state-level data highlight household net worth estimates at the state level broken down by selected asset and debt categories.
