Insight Center for Community Economic Development released a report almost 10 years ago ‘Lifting as We Climb’ that found Black women’s median wealth ranged between $0-$100.
A newer 2017 report entitled ‘Women, Race & Wealth’ from the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity and Insight Center for Community Economic Development found that Black women still fall behind in every category of wealth accumulation. While income is mainly used for daily necessities, wealth constitutes resources that improve life chances.
