Main idea: The racial makeup of the individuals that fall under the low-socioeconomic status are African Americans and then followed by Hispanics.
Evidence: According to KFF.org, 24 % of African Americans across the country fall under the “poverty guidelines’ while 21% for the Hispanic population. In contrast, only 9% of white individuals in the U.S are under the “poverty guidelines.”
Link: Both these races having more than double the amount of individuals under poverty than white individuals.
Conclusion: The individuals mostly under low-socioeconomic status in the U.S are minorities, specifically African Americans and Hispanics.
