Browse FRB Household Debt Service and Financial Obligations Ratios Data

The household debt service ratio (DSR) is an estimate of the ratio of debt payments to disposable personal income. Debt payments consist of the estimated required payments on outstanding mortgage and consumer debt.

The financial obligations ratio (FOR) is a broader measure than the debt service ratio. The FOR includes automobile lease payments, rental payments on tenant-occupied property, homeowners' insurance, and property tax payments.

As Peter Bernstein tells Economagic "My book on gold, The Power of Gold: The History of an Obsession, is out in a new illustrated edition - a coffee table book - and absolutely breathtakingly beautiful with fabulous color illustrations and about 75% of the original text. With gold pushing $450, a book like this should be a natural for Xmas."
