https://www.niussp.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Iceland_fb.jpg1200600Racial and ethnic disparities in the relative likelihood of experiencing poverty and affluence in the United States generally narrowed over the 1959 to 2015 period, indicative of moderate steps toward racial equality, John Iceland says. Nevertheless, considerable disparities remain, with Whites and Asians being less likely to be poor and more likely to be affluent than Blacks, American Indians, and Hispanics. The individual- and household-level factors contributing to these disparities vary across groups and have changed over time.
