One in five Oklahoma households have zero or negative net worth, the highest share of any state with available data.

Hawaii sits at the opposite end of the map, with just 4.1% of households estimated to have zero or negative net worth.

Nationwide, 11.3% of U.S. households have zero or negative net worth.

I wish it would get more poor. I'd like to buy more land at a discount.

I wonder how much of this is people being upside down on their mortgages versus those that don't own a home, haven't saved for retirement, and are buried in credit card, student loan and vehicle debt.

Student loans probably a big component as well.

California doesn’t look correct, but who knows how the data were gathered.



Another map from the same folks.

It's almost like you can come up with a goofy map to say anything you want to say, depending upon whatever picture you want to paint.

It's fun, isn't it?

Hard to have a net worth when you've never worked for a living and probably 20% of American adults fall in that category. Life's so unfair though right?

Yeah and then they sell for a huge gain and move to Tennessee and buy all the houses for what they perceive as cheap and drive up the prices here.

GO BACK HOME.
