The racial wealth gap as an economic crisis subject area; emerging topic beyond the 30 taxonomy lanes

The record

Sources

Evidence note (master store)

Federal Reserve FEDS Note (Oct 18, 2023), reporting the 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances: the typical White family had about six times the wealth of the typical Black family; median wealth was $285,000 for White families versus $44,900 for Black families (about 15%) and about $61,600 for Hispanic families (2022 dollars), a White–Black median gap of over $220,000 in 2022. This is a general subject, not a CTL taxonomy lane; the stored note ('the racial wealth gap as an economic crisis subject area') matches the source's treatment. Figures are anchored to the 2022 SCF as published in the fetched note. (fetched in full 2026-10-17)
