Uncovering the typical net worth per adult across America

In 2024, the average American is worth $560,157. However, break it down to state level, and that average wealth figure varies wildly.

Retirement plan provider Empower has crunched the numbers based on the wealth of people who use its free Personal Dashboard. In a nutshell, net worth is calculated as assets, including property, minus debts. Since the average figure can be skewed by a relatively small number of ultra-rich individuals, Empower has also provided the median for each state, giving a more accurate indication of the typical adult's wealth.

Ranked from least to most wealthy, read on to find out what the average person is worth in each state and discover how yours compares.
