  • A white family will, on average accumulate $116,800 in assets, a Black family $1,700, and a Latin@ family slightly more. 

  • The gap for single women-headed households is even more stark - in 2007 a white female-headed household had on average $41,000 in assets, a Black female-headed household $100, and a Latina-headed household $120.
