U.S. Financial Health Pulse: 2018 Baseline Survey Results

The Pulse is a groundbreaking research initiative that provides insight into the financial lives of Americans. In this initial study, the Financial Health Network reveals how we’re faring financially and the trends shaping our financial health.

The U.S. Financial Health Pulse is made possible through a founding partnership with Flourish, a venture of The Omidyar Group. Additional support is provided by MetLife Foundation, founding sponsor of the Financial Health Network’s financial health work, and AARP.

The Financial Health Network is partnering with the University of Southern California Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research to field the study to their online panel, the Understanding America Study.

The Financial Health Network is working with engineers and data analysts at Plaid to collect and analyze transactional and account data from study participants who authorize it.
