A Roy Morgan Single Source survey shows that the gross personal wealth (assets) of Australians aged 14+ (including owner-occupied homes) stood at $9,784 billion in the December 2018 quarter. This represents a drop of $512 billion or 5.0% from the September quarter when it was $10,296 billion, and is now at the lowest level recorded throughout 2018. Net wealth (after debt) has also decreased by 4.3%, from $8,993 billion to $8,608 billion. Despite the overall decline in household wealth over the December quarter, the average gross household wealth remains over one million dollars, at $1,016,000. This is $58,000 or 5.4% below the average recorded in the September quarter and the lowest since December 2017. The average gross wealth per capita was $502,000 in September and this has also fallen by 5.4% to $475,000 in December, the lowest for 12 months. The survey is based on in-depth interviews conducted face-to-face with over 50,000 consumers per annum in their homes.
