What ethnicity has the highest poverty levels in the United States?

Question

I just want to see who gets the right answer.

Ethnic Population.

Answer 1

Total amount of people living below the poverty level:
White 24.9
Black 9.2
Hispanic 9.4

(in millions)

Percentage of those living below the poverty line:

White 10.6
Black 24.9
Hispanic 21.8

(in millions)


Obviously there are more whites then Blacks in the US....but clearly there is a far higher percentage of Blacks living in poverty than compared to White...or Hispanic population.

Answer 2

BLACKS**...
......and by a landslide, according to the US Census Bureau. The means by which data is compiled, certain variables, true demographic respresentation...a plethura of legitimate points made by all sides as to how definitive, accurate and comprehensive the USCB surveys truly are will forever be under scrutiny, but the fact remains that I have correctly answered your question because you only specified "ethnic group with highest poverty level", not per capita, per EMPLOYED individuals/households with employed person(s), etc.

**the USCB does not use the term African American and my information was directly from the USCB, therefore unedited for "political correctness"

Answer 3

this is kind of complicated, simply because hispanics can be from any race, it's more of a cultural distinction...at least that's how the census counts it.

but from their website this is what i got:

African Americans have the highest rate of poverty at 22 - 24%
Followed very closely by people calling themselves hispanic at 21 - 22%%
Asian americans are at around 11%
then whites at 8 - 9%.

these are just simple ranges to give you an idea.

Answer 4

Nationwide , 17% children live in poverty (12 million ) . I couldn't find anything on which ethnicity was the poorest that made any sense to me .
The homeless make poverty more visible in the US

Answer 5

Apartheid grow to be in South Africa, it truly is amazingly the very southern tip of the continent, thus far removed from significant Africa and North Africa like Morocco. The continent isn't homogeneous, even Pan-Africanism would not unite the very diverse international places. China is doing as a lot monetary usurping. They construct, yet convey their very personal labour and are also making inroads into community monetary markets with their very personal products, undermining community tradesmen. i imagine you're purely as lie to about Africa. yet i ought to agree that there is a backward view of Africa in u . s . a .. And the monetary techniques used to save it down like the IMF, international monetary corporation and WTO are the reason it struggles. regardless of the indisputable fact that it is going to upward push this century.

Answer 6

Native Americans per capita demographically,, but in total number white, black, and hispanic are almost a dead heat,,,,,but counting illegals,,then hispanics would be highest I believe

remember whites are still 70% of the legal population

Answer 7

Whites because there are more whites than there are any other group.
We can be an ethnic group cant we ? Damn we get left out of everything ,just `cause we are white........

I cant see how the figures could be correct on Hispanics because the Hispanic illegal aliens were not/could not be counted so the numbers are not true.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Tamilese

Answer 10

The various illegals.
