- Type
- not stated
- Format
- Structured tabular survey micro-data (one record per responding household, coded attitudinal, behavioural, demographic and product-holding variables) supplied under licence as data files or through a hosted analytics/consulting layer, with published trend series above it
- Volume
- Est. ~1-1.6 million responding-household records cumulatively (roughly 25-40K respondents per annual wave across ~40 annual waves), each carrying several hundred to over a thousand coded variables — so tens to low hundreds of millions of coded observations across the archive. Substantial per-respondent depth rather than raw record volume.
- Users
- N/A as a registered-user product — this is a licensed research study, not an account-based platform. The relevant population is the responding sample: est. ~25,000-40,000 responding households per annual wave (inferred from its standing as the largest single-source US financial-services survey, which historically runs in that range). Note the headline 130 million figure is the represented grossed-up household population, NOT the number of respondents — do not treat it as sample size.

- Growth
- Mature — a 40-year continuous annual wave whose methodology is marketed as long-refined rather than expanding, at a ~210-employee private-equity-owned research group. Value is in archive continuity and comparability, not growth; expect steady-state fielding with modernisation of collection mode rather than panel expansion.
- Launched
- ~1985-1986 (derived arithmetically from the site's claim of trend data "going back 40 years" measured against the current edition; consistent with MacroMonitor's long standing as a legacy US financial-services study)
