Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED)
The Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED) is an annual survey of adults conducted by the Federal Reserve Board. The survey is based on the Ipsos KnowledgePanel, a nationally representative probability-based online panel. Ipsos selected respondents for KnowledgePanel based on address-based sampling (ABS). The questions asked of the panel are intended to gather information from the individual about how they make household economic decisions. All data is the most current available.  The data presented here are from the 2020 survey with the exception of the estimates of being a victim of violence which is from the 2019 survey. SHED survey finishes data collection in October and then releases the report and public use file in May of the following year. LGBT+ adults include those who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something else (other than straight or cisgender).
