Home Ownership Rate
This chart shows the percentage of households that own their home rather than rent. The rate fluctuates with economic conditions, policy changes, and housing market dynamics.
Higher homeownership rates suggest more people are able or choosing to buy homes, which can reflect economic stability, favorable mortgage conditions, or demographic trends.
Conversely, a decline in the rate may indicate economic downturns, rising housing costs, or shifts in housing preferences.
This metric is important for understanding the housing market's health and the financial well-being of households.
Median Household Income
This chart shows the Real Median Household Income in the United States over time, adjusted for inflation to reflect 2022 dollars. It represents the midpoint of household incomes, where half of the households earn more and half earn less, adjusted for changes in the cost of living.
The chart provides insights into the economic well-being of the average U.S. household, showing how income levels have changed in response to economic growth, recessions, and other macroeconomic factors. Rising real median income suggests improving living standards and economic health, while declines can indicate economic hardship or stagnation.
Mortgage Debt Payments as a % of Disposable Income
This chart displays the Mortgage Debt Service Payments as a Percent of Disposable Personal Income in the United States.
It measures the proportion of household income that goes towards mortgage payments, providing an indicator of the financial burden that mortgage debt places on households.
A higher percentage suggests that a larger share of income is being spent on mortgage payments, which can indicate financial strain and less disposable income for other expenditures.
A lower percentage means that mortgage payments are more manageable relative to income, suggesting greater financial flexibility for households.
This metric is crucial for understanding household debt sustainability and the potential impact of economic changes on consumer spending.
Home Equity
This chart displays the Owners' Equity in Real Estate for households in the United States over time, measured in billions of dollars.
It represents the total value of real estate owned by households minus the outstanding mortgage debt.
A rising trend in owners' equity indicates increasing home values and/or decreasing mortgage debt, suggesting growing wealth for homeowners.
Higher equity levels provide financial security and borrowing power for homeowners, as they have more value in their properties compared to what they owe.
This metric is important for understanding the financial health of households, the housing market's strength, and potential impacts on consumer spending and borrowing behavior.
Household Savings
This chart shows Household Saving in the United States, measured in billions of dollars annually. It represents the total amount of money saved by households after accounting for taxes and consumption expenses.
The sharp increase in savings around 2020 reflects a surge in personal savings due to reduced spending and government stimulus during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Subsequently, the decline indicates a return to more typical savings behavior or increased spending.
This metric is crucial for understanding consumer financial health, economic resilience, and potential future consumer spending, which drives a significant portion of economic activity.
