The Wealth Gap: Black Households Net Worth is $5,600 versus White Households of $113K.

I read a Good Magazine infographic entitled, ‘The Opportunity Gap’ and the data was sobering.  I tweeted about this on July 27, 2011, but I wanted to share this in my blog because the data does a great job of communicating the issue contextually.

Having said, that I knew there was a wealth gap between White and Black Americans, but I didn’t realize disparity.

The Net Worth of families with children

Black American households (Median Net Worth): $5,600
White American households (Median Net Worth): $113,220

Food for Thought!  I have ideas that I am working to help solve the problem.
