Mapping the road to prosperity and parity for Black and Latino residents across America
Black and Latino Americans experience different levels of prosperity and parity depending on where they live. Our interactive mapping explores this inequality.
Our finding that Latino residents are making relatively faster progress toward parity than their Black counterparts is consistent with other research.11 For example, McKinsey research found that Latino enrollment is helping to drive the shift toward greater representation of students of color at US colleges and universities.12 Latinos also are more likely than Black residents to have personal or family histories of immigration, and it is well established that the children of immigrants experience higher upward mobility than US-born children.13 As a result of these trends, a child born today might live to see Latino–White disparities—but not Black–White disparities—closed across some community profiles.
Latinos have higher economic mobility than FBA. This is why this POC shyt is so stupid. We need to orient our politics to look out for FBA/ADOS interest above all else. That does not mean we have to make enemies but we do need to put ourselves first.
