Notes: Ownership of a bank refers to whether the household owns a checking, saving, or money market account. Percentages are calculated using only the household FR. We use year-specific weights to compute percentages in each year. For the percentage during the period 2000–2012, we use a base weight, which is the weight of the individual when it entered the survey.
