TREE NEWS reports: The Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances shows median real US household income rose 7% to $82,200 between 2022 and 2025, with gains for lower-income households and declines at the top. Median net worth climbed 2% to $215,900, benefiting households across the wealth and income distribution. Median household debt was roughly flat versus 2022, but the share of households spending more than 40% of income on debt payments rose to 8.6% from 6.5%, the highest since 2013.
Fed: US household income, wealth up 2022-25, debt strain highest since 2013
AI take
The Fed's survey points to an unusual pattern: broad-based income and wealth gains alongside a rising share of households stretched by debt payments. That divergence suggests the aggregate improvement is not reaching everyone evenly, and the debt-service metric is the more telling stress signal. The question worth watching is whether that debt burden keeps climbing even as headline income and net worth figures hold up.
