Household net worth dipped to 5.60 times disposable income from 5.67 times in the first quarter. Owners' equity in their real estate fell to a record low 54.1% of market value from 54.4% in the first quarter and nearly 58% in 2000.

Meanwhile, nonfinancial borrowing grew at the slowest rate in four years, rising at an annual rate of 6.4% after a 9.5% increase in the first quarter.

Borrowing by households grew 9.1%, also the slowest in four years. Mortgage debt decelerated, while other forms of household credit perked up.

Mortgage debt increased 9%, the slowest pace since the recession of 2001. Consumer credit, such as credit cards, increased at a 6.6% rate, the fastest in four years.

Borrowing by businesses increased at a 7.6% rate, the slowst in five quarters. Corporate debt grew at a 6.7% pace, the second fastest pace in six years following an 8.8% gain in the first quarter.

Borrowing by the federal government fell at an annual rate of 2.4%, the first decline in five years. State and local government debt grew at a 6.6% pace, rebounding from a 3.5% pace in the first quarter.
