The United Census Bureau has released a new report on the demographic profile of households and living arrangements in the United States over the past 50 years.
The report found that the share of households made up of married-couple families has significantly dropped since the 1970s, particularly for non-White households. In 2022, only 27 percent of Black households were married-couple families compared to roughly 50 percent of White households.
Black households were the most likely group to be a family household maintained by a women without a spouse, with about 25 percent of all Black households falling into this category. Black women were also found to be more likely than Black men to be part of a non-family household. This is notable as the report found unmarried families are significantly economically disadvantaged compared to married couples, who experience higher levels of household income, home ownership, and health insurance coverage.
Furthermore, the study found Black children were the most likely group to live in a household experiencing economic hardships. Black children were the most likely group to live in a household that received food stamps and/or cash public assistance.
The report consists of data from the American Community Survey and the Current Population Survey’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement.
Poor white children live in households that receive welfare at higher rates than Afro-Americans…reason? There are more white people numerically than there are AA’s who are only 13% of USA population. The overrepresentation of Afro-Americans in reports of malaise, dysfunction and overall poor health in “studies” continue to compare this group with non-melanated whites without the context of racial mistreatment and mention of thr causes of such disparities.
You speak the truth!
How about the facts of earning when the education level is adjusted for?
The average black male high school graduate gets paid near the level of a white male high school dropout. The average black man with a bachelor’s degree gets paid at a level of a closer to a white high school graduate. The average black man with a PHD gets paid closer to a white man with a master’s degree.
Look it up, the Statistical Abstract of the US has those numbers.
I haven’t checked recently, but the last time I looked the interracial marriage rate was close to twice as many black man white woman marriages vs white man black women.
However, the 10 year survival rate for the marriages were the exact opposite, twice as many white man black women marriages survived. All figures are approximate, I didn’t review them recently or figure it to the exact percentage.
All of that counts in finding the real numbers.
