Net Worth Benchmarks in 2020
Just as with household income, the most important net worth statistics are:
- Median net worth
- Average net worth
- Top 1% net worth
Of these, median net worth is the most important statistic.
Although average net worth is higher than median (at $746,821 vs. $121,411, respectively), median is the 'middle point' of wealth. That is, half of households in the United States have more net worth, and half less – average is biased by high net worth households dragging the average upwards.
