And the 18.3% includes what is owed on mortgages, home-equity loans, and HELOCs?

Yes, as long as the HELOC has been drawn on.

I believe Moore is using the data from the Fed Funds Report.

Fed Funds: page 110

"I believe Moore is using the data from the Fed Funds Report."

Looking at the data it still looks like a considerable amount of the debt to asset ratio is factoring in those above the middle class annual income bracket, top end of which I believe was last listed at $94k. If it accurately represents only the middle class then I must be dead-center in an abnormally high group of very unlucky people as my own debt-to-asset ratio is 86% and I can't find a single soul (except for a couple near retirement geezers who are SERIOUS penny-pinchers) that are doing any better than 63%.
