Mish, I plotted debt and total household value as a %GDP (see 2nd graph): calculatedrisk.blogspot.com I don't know if that helps. Best Regards!

Any statistics will be skewed by the incredible amount of home equity built up by older boomers and WWII generation in the bubble markets. Grace and I discussed some of this on the Housing crash board. One older retired couple living in an $800k Santa Barbara home free and clear and eight Dallas 100% leveraged starter homes worth $100K still show 50% equity from the sample. It would be nice if there were these stats for first time buyers or for a certain age range most vulnerable say 25-40 and compare to prior periods.
