American Household Incomes

On the eve of the recession of 2001, Americans' household incomes stood at their highest level ever.
The median white non-Hispanic household had an annual income $5,900 more than their counterparts at the start of the decade.
The median Hispanic household had an annual income $4,700 more than their counterparts at the beginning of the decade.
The median African-American household had an annual income $7,000 more than their counterparts at the start of the decade.
Nevertheless, the measured real income of the median African-American household is still only at the level of the median white household in 1967.
