Overview

The Survey of Consumer Finances is the richest picture of American household wealth available, and one of the most awkward datasets to work with. scf wraps the survey’s quirks — replicate weights, multiple imputation, and shifting category definitions — behind a small, tidy vocabulary so you can spend your time on questions, not plumbing.
