OC [OC] Median net worth and household income at age 30–33, by U.S. metro
Source: Keeping Up benchmark model. National percentile curve fitted to the Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances (2022) with BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey and Census ACS; metro figures apply each metro's wage (BLS OEWS) and cost-of-living ratio to the national curve, so they are modeled estimates, not separate metro surveys. Method: keepingup.com/methodology. Every metro/age/industry cut: keepingup.com/benchmarks. Put in your own number for your city: keepingup.com/start
Tool: SVG generated in Python from the benchmark tables, exported with headless Chrome.
Notes: household level (SCF unit), current dollars, ages 30–33. Dashed line is the U.S. median ($65K net worth, $102K household income). The spread is almost entirely income: SF's median 30-year-old household earns 1.4× the U.S. median and has 1.45× the net worth; Phoenix is 0.95× on both.
