For even the most successful blacks and Hispanics, 'separate' means 'unequal'

A new research brief from the US2010 Project shows that the average black or Hispanic household earning over $75,000 lives in a poorer neighborhood than the average white resident earning under $40,000.

The US2010 Project's data show in most metro areas there are similar neighborhood gaps in median and per capita income; percent of residents with a college education or professional occupation; home ownership; and housing vacancy (http://www.s4.brown.edu/us2010/SeparateAndUnequal/Default.aspx).
