NOTES

  1. U.S. net wealth measures the value of tangible assets controlled by the household and nonprofit organizations, noncorporate business, and government sectors of the U.S. economy and the market value of domestic nonfinancial and financial corporations, net of U.S. financial obligations to the rest of the world (sum of lines 2+7+12+13+16+20+24).
  2. Assumed to be equal to proprietors' equity in noncorporate brokers and dealers.
  3. This measure does not equal the net worth of the nonfinancial corporate business and financial business sectors reported in the Integrated Macroeconomic Accounts (tables S.2.a and S.2.q) because of differences in the valuation of assets.
  4. Excludes land and nonproduced nonfinancial assets.
  5. Household net worth is calculated as the difference between total assets and liabilities of the household and nonprofit organizations sector. See table B.101.
