“All of those things add up over the course of a person’s lifetime and give us this massive wealth inequality,” Crislip, now Executive Director at The Richmond Forum, told the Mercury.
The Mercury underscored inequality by sharing U.S. Census Bureau stats that non-Hispanic White households had a median wealth of more than $139,000.
“That compared with less than $13,000 for Black households and $20,000 for Hispanic households.
A key factor, the report
said, is that most non-Hispanic White households owned their homes,” the Mercury
stated.
The Markup is a nonprofit newsroom of quantitative journalists that pursue meaningful, data-driven investigations.
In 2021, the team researched
racial disparities in federal mortgage data.
