Using data from the NY Fed’s Graying of American Debt, here is average total debt by age and type of debt for 2015. The number in the inner circle is the age of the debt holder, and the donut slices are scaled to represent the amount of debt in dollars. Hover over the slices to see the average debt amount in dollars.

Interesting graphs! What made you choose these over pie charts?
You have awesome data on your site! Thanks! My one complaint is that you often fail to identify whether we are dealing with individuals or households. Can you clarify with this data set?
Oh totally get that comment! Almost everything is household.
