Pain Index · 2025 Nine Households, 15% of the Wealth

San José State University's 2025 Silicon Valley Pain Index found that just nine households hold 15% of the region's wealth — controlling $683.2 billion, a $136 billion jump in a single year — while 0.1% of residents hold 71% of the wealth. At the same time, around 110,000 households reported nearly no assets. The valley's wealth divide has widened at twice the US rate over the past decade.
