Americans Owe $19.1 Trillion, and More of That Debt Is Past Due (Video)

In this 14 November 2026 published video, host Michael Bordenaro talks about how total U.S. household debt reached a record $19.1 trillion ($19.105 trillion) at the end of the third quarter of 2026, driven by a $334 billion quarterly surge—the largest three-month jump since late 2022. Alongside rising balances, 5.0 percent of all outstanding debt is now in some stage of delinquency, up from 4.7 percent in the previous quarter and marking the highest overall delinquency rate since early 2016.
Mortgages accounted for more than three-quarters of the quarterly increase, supported by $595 billion in new mortgage originations during Q3. At the same time, homeowners tapped into their property equity at the fastest quarterly pace in over two decades. New York Fed researchers noted that rising credit card balances reflect ongoing financial hardship. Separate consumer survey data from Achieve indicated that 55 percent of cardholders carry balances specifically to cover essential living expenses. While mortgage borrowers have largely stayed current, strain is acute among non-housing borrowers. Serious auto loan delinquencies (90 plus days past due) hit a record 5.7 percent, and late-stage credit card delinquencies have also remained elevated.
Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Household Debt and Credit Report shows growth across every major borrowing category between July and September 2026.
