In the US, the gap between Black and White Homeownership is widening with each generation [OC]HungryLikeTheWolf99 t1_j9qvtrd wrote
For the purpose of digging into this data (not necessarily for the visualization itself), it would be nice to see black and white averages compared across income cohorts, or otherwise somehow controlled for income. That is, are the black mean incomes just lower but home ownership on par with white income peers, or is there a racial effect across income levels?

Good callout -- these are all important factors not considered in this analysis. This report may be interesting to you. It finds that gaps in income, marital status, and credit scores explain some (but not all) of the gap.
