Your total debt divided by your total assets — a measure of leverage.
The debt-to-asset ratio shows what fraction of everything you own is financed by debt. A lower ratio means more of your assets are truly yours. Under 50% is generally comfortable; a very high ratio leaves little cushion if asset values fall.
$150,000 of debt against $500,000 of assets is a 30% debt-to-asset ratio.
