Here's Where You'll Find The Most Wealthy And Most Indebted Members Of Congress

It turns out that congresspeople have widely varying financial fortunes.

Roll Call publishes an annual list, based on financial disclosure forms, of the net worth of each US representative, delegate, and senator. We mapped this net worth data for each member of the house of representatives. Districts in green have house members with positive net worths, and districts in orange and red have congresspeople with a negative net worth (that is, their total debts are greater than their total assets). We've also marked the five richest congresspeople, and the five most indebted congresspeople:

One thing that is remarkable about this data is the extreme spread of wealth among congresspeople. Darrell Issa, who had the highest net worth not just in the House but in the entirety of Congress, had a higher net worth than the first 283 House members with positive net worth combined.
