Total household debt was up $129 billion from the previous quarter and stood at $11.65 trillion in Q1 2014, up 1.1% quarter-over-quarter.

"We’ve observed household debt increase three quarters in a row and delinquency rates at their lowest levels since 2008," Andy Haughwout, vice president and economist at the New York Fed said in a press release. "However, the direction of future mortgage originations will have an important implication on the household financial outlook and we will continue to monitor it."

Mortgage debt increased by $116 billion to $8.17 trillion as of Q1 2014.
Student loan debt climbed by $31 billion to $1.11 trillion.
