From 2001 to 2017, the incarceration rate for black men declined by 34 percent.
From 2001 to 2017, the incarceration rate for black men aged 25–29, 20–24, and 18–19 declined, respectively, by 56 percent, 60 percent, and 72 percent.
Between 2001 and 2017, the birth rate for black women aged 15–19 declined by 63 percent. (This is good news because teen pregnancy is strongly correlated with poverty later in life)
2018 census data showed that 37 percent of black Americans aged 25–34 had some kind of college degree. If black America were its own country, that would place it in between Germany (31 percent) and Spain (43 percent) in terms of educational attainment.
The Federal Reserve recently reported that over 60 percent of blacks at every level of educational attainment say they’re doing better financially than their parents - a higher percentage than either whites or Hispanics.
While the median net worth of white, non-Hispanic households rose 3% from 2016 to 2019, the wealth of black households increased at a much faster pace: 33%.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the black unemployment was at a record-low.
