Households led by people 75 and older had the highest median wealth in 2025

Households led by people 75 or older had the highest typical wealth of any age group in 2025.

Their median net worth was $504,000, according to the Federal Reserve.

Rising retirement assets and stock prices likely helped boost wealth for older households.

But many families faced financial strain: one in five was behind on debt payments, and the typical wealth of households led by someone under 35 fell.
