- What it measured
- SHED 2025 item K0 (“Do you think that your retirement savings plan is currently on track?”), counting responses 1=Yes, among adults who do not consider themselves retired (D1I = No). Computed from the Federal Reserve's public-use microdata with its post-stratification weight WEIGHT. The public file has no design variables or replicate weights, so the standard error follows the Fed's documented design effect: SE = √(deff · p(1−p)/n), deff = 1.14 (the Fed's 1.14, or the Kish design effect of these weights if larger); unweighted n = 8,740.
