Our new issue, “After Bernie,” is out now. Our questions are simple: what did Bernie accomplish, why did he fail, what is his legacy, and how should we continue the struggle for democratic socialism? Get a discounted print subscription today !

We are still continuing our coverage of the 2016 Survey of Consumer Finances. Below I show how wealth is distributed within a variety of demographic subgroups. What I find is that wealth is similarly distributed in every demographic subgroup. Wealth levels vary a great deal from subgroup to subgroup, but wealth distributions do not.

Age The below graph shows how wealth is distributed in every age group. Hover over each cluster of bars to get a complete rundown. For ages eighteen to thirty-five, the top 10 percent (indicated here by the “10” bar) owns 82 percent of that age group’s wealth. For thirty-six to fifty, it is 72 percent. For fifty-one to sixty-five, it is 75 percent. And for over sixty-five, it is 70 percent.

Education This is the same as the age graph, but using education groups rather than age groups. Across all education groups, the top 10 percent owns around 65 to 70 percent of the group’s wealth.
