How to Read the Washington Estimate
The Washington estimate is substantially higher than the national estimate in this sample, but it comes from only 380 sampled Washington households. Sampling error can be large, especially for percentile and age breakouts, so treat the values as directional rather than precise rankings.
Net worth is assets minus debts and is not the same as income. These descriptive data do not establish why Washington differs from the national sample.

No official source publishes household net worth below the state level; survey samples are too small. County figures you may see elsewhere are modeled estimates, not measured data.
About This Data
Washington and U.S. percentiles were computed by WA Labor Intelligence from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2025 Survey of Income and Program Participation public-use data (wealth measured as of December 2024; 380 sampled WA households). Net worth is total assets minus total debts, excluding pension-plan equity and home furnishings. We use weighted interpolated percentiles without replicate-weight standard errors, so values are rounded and approximate. Compare our simplified estimates with the Census Bureau's official brief (Wealth of Households).
No official source publishes directly measured net worth by county; we deliberately do not estimate it.
