You can lots of info on the SCF from the Fed's web site, at <http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/pubs/oss/oss2/scfindex.html>. I think you can even get the data, but unless you're a data whiz, there's not much you can do with it. There are lots of working papers and things you can download from there.
I've put the basic asset and debt distribution data into a table at the LBO web site. See <http://www.panix.com/~dhenwood/Wealth_distrib.html>.
