B Base figure too small.
1 Includes other types of financial assets, not shown separately.
2 Checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts, money market mutual funds, and call accounts at brokerages.
3 Covers only those stocks and bonds that are directly held by families
outside mutual funds, retirement accounts and other managed assets.
4 Excludes money market mutual funds and funds held through retirement accounts
or other managed assets.
5 Covers IRA's, Keogh accounts, and employer-provided pension plans
Here, employer-sponsored accounts are those from current jobs
held by the family head and that persons spouse or partner as well as
those from past jobs held by them. The accounts from current jobs are
restricted to those in which loans or withdrawals can be made, such as
401(k) accounts; those from past jobs are restricted to accounts from
which the family expects to receive the account balance in the future.
These restrictions on the types of accounts are intended to confine the
analysis to amounts that are portable across jobs and to which families
will ultimately have full access. Earlier articles on the survey in the
Federal Reserve Bulletin included only the accounts from current
jobs.
6 Cash value.
7 Includes personal annuities and trusts with an equity interest and managed investment accounts.
8 Median value of financial asset for families holding such assets.

The Survey of Consumer Finances
The Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) is a triennial
survey sponsored by the Federal Reserve with the cooperation
of the Department of the Treasury. It is designed to
provide detailed information on U.S. families balance
sheets and their use of financial services, as well as on their
pension rights, labor force participation, and demographic
characteristics at the time of the interview. The survey also
collects information on total family income, before taxes,
for the calendar year preceding the survey. The term family
as it is used here is more comparable to the U.S. Bureau
of the Census definition of household than to Censuss
use of family, which excludes single people.
The underlying statistical methodology of the surveys
has been largely unchanged since 1989, and the questionnaires
have been modified only slightly, mostly to reflect
changes in the availability of financial services or in the
financial behavior of families. Thus, the data since that time
are comparable.
The need to measure financial characteristics imposes
special requirements on the survey design. The survey must
provide reliable information both on items that are broadly
distributed in the populationfor example, vehicle
ownershipand on items that are highly concentrated in a
relatively small part of the population for example, investment
real estate. To address this problem, the SCF employs
a dual-frame sample design that includes a standard geographically
based random sample and a special oversample
of relatively wealthy families. Weights are used to combine
information from the two samples for estimates of statistics
for the full population.
The SCFs for 1992 and 1995 were conducted by the National Opinion
Research Center at the University of Chicago (NORC)
between July and December of each survey year. For the
1992 survey, 3,906 families were interviewed, and for the
1995 survey, 4,299 were interviewed.
All dollar figures are adjusted to 1995 dollars
using the consumer price index (CPI) for all urban
consumers. Concerns about how accurately the CPI repre-sents
inflation for families have been discussed in the
literature. If, as generally supposed, the index overstates
the true degree of inflation, upward adjustments to past
dollar amounts will appear too large, and trends in positive
dollar amounts will be biased downward. An index sometimes
proposed as an alternative to the CPI is the implicit
price deflator for personal consumption expenditure (PCE),
which is reported as a part of the national income and
product accounts. Over 198995, price changes measured
by the CPI and the PCE deflator differed by a relatively
small amount.
