The U.S. Census does more than count the number of people in the U.S. – they collect a lot of other data too.
We know the net worth of householders based on a variety of factors – including age. The datashown below was taken from the U.S. Census Bureau, Survey of Income and Program Participation, 2014 Panel, Wave 1 – released in 2017 and “dated” as 2013. I recognize that's a lot of dates but the data is solid and most up to date. Figures of net worth include home equity (it's not clear how home equity is determined).
| Age of Householder | Median Net Worth |
|---|---|
| Under 35: | $6,900 |
| 35 – 44 | $45,740 |
| 45 – 54: | $100,404 |
| 55 – 64: | $164,498 |
| 65 – 69: | $193,833 |
