Percent Distribution of Household Wealth by Race

Description:

A chart showing the percent distribution of household wealth by race in the United States. Wealth inequality is a social problem affecting all races, but Black and Hispanic/Latino households are much more likely to have a very low household net worth than white or Asian American households. Across all races, wealth is more unequally distributed than income in the United States.
