Here is a dataset from NYU’s Aswath Damodaran that gives industry-level debt and leverage benchmarks for U.S. companies, useful for comparing a firm’s capital structure to its peers.

It helps with valuation, risk assessment, and setting realistic debt assumptions.

Key ratios included:

- Book Debt-to-Capital
- Market Debt-to-Capital
- Market Debt-to-Equity
- Interest Coverage Ratio
- Debt / EBITDA
- Effective Tax Rate
