Definition

Assets held in U.S. Section 529 college plans and reported for the households and nonprofit organizations sector, in millions of dollars at quarter end. The total combines college savings plans and prepaid tuition plans.

The series begins in 1996:Q4. The published quarterly history includes Federal Reserve estimates for periods when underlying plan data were not reported quarterly. This is a memo item already included in total assets. It combines college savings and prepaid tuition plans and must not be added again to the total household and nonprofit asset balance. These are end-of-period balances in millions of current U.S. dollars and are not seasonally adjusted. S1M.b covers households and nonprofit organizations together, including farm households; its sector note also includes private equity funds, personal trusts, and domestic hedge funds through 2012:Q3. It is not a household-only measure unless the indicator name says so. The first available observation is 1945:Q4; observations are annual at year end through 1951 and quarterly from 1952:Q1. Missing quarters remain missing and are not interpolated by this dataset. Valuation basis varies by item: real estate and marketable securities are at market value, while consumer durables and other nonfinancial assets use replacement or current cost. Totals and component rows overlap; memo items such as 529 plan assets are already included in total assets. Federal Reserve releases may revise historical values or methods, which can affect comparisons over time.
