WARNING: Please review the following PDF for instructions on how to calculate correct standard errors. As a result of multiple imputation, the dataset you are downloading contains five times the number of actual observations. Failure to account for the imputations and the complex sample design will result in incorrect estimation of standard errors.
Special note to R users: An outside programmer has created scripts for converting and working with SCF data. These scripts are available for download from: https://guilhermejacob.github.io/context/1.6-survey-of-consumer-finances-scf.html#survey-of-consumer-finances-scf

Missing Data
Missing data in the survey have been imputed five times using a multiple imputation technique. The information is stored in five separate imputation replicates (implicates). Thus, for the 4,367 families interviewed for the survey, there are 21,835 records in the data set. Seven observations were deleted for the public version of the data set for purposes of disclosure avoidance; thus, there are 21,800 records in the public data set for 4,360 families. The codebook provides more detail on the structure of the data set and the steps taken for disclosure avoidance.
