Black And Live In DC? Your Median Income Is Less Than Half That of Whites

In the District of Columbia, new census data indicates that whites became wealthier, with a median income of $88,969, while African Americans brought in less than half of that amount at $34,484. The city’s average is $51,847.

“For a long time, this has been a city divided by race, with a vast majority of the poor population being African-American...(it) is becoming even worse, and it’s becoming even clearer that it’s one of the city’s worst problems.” Source
