Update

Field work for the 2010 Survey Consumer Finances was completed by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago early in 2011 and the final data were received at the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) in May 2011. The FRB project staff is currently engaged in processing the data, including editing the data, imputing missing values, and estimating weights. Although there is currently not a definite schedule for the release of information from the survey to the public, it is expected that an article on the survey will appear in the Federal Reserve Bulletin in the first half of 2012. A public version of the data is expected to be released shortly after the publication of the article. Users who wish to be notified of the data release or other information on the status of the survey should sign our Guest Book.

The 2010 survey incorporates two particularly important improvements over the 2007 survey, the most recently available cross-sectional SCF. First, the survey data include approximately 2,000 more completed interviews. Second, the survey contains specialized information on the financing of personal businesses.
