Field notes
The navigation moves from household measures into business ownership, wealth at the top, poverty and mobility, with a separate section for coverage from the Black press. Individual charts explain their units and comparison rules: one income chart uses inflation-adjusted 2023 dollars, while the graduation-rate chart defines its measure as completing high school within four years of starting ninth grade. The page also links to underlying tables and source organizations.
