About one-in-four Black households and one-in-seven Hispanic households had no wealth or were in debt in 2021, compared with about one-in-ten U.S. households overall.
About half of Americans see their identity reflected very well in the census’s race and ethnicity questions.
While Black adults define personal and financial success in different ways, most see these measures of success as major sources of pressure in their lives.

Across 49 focus groups with Asian immigrants, daily challenges related to speaking English emerged as a common theme. Participants also shared frustration, stress and at times sadness in dealing with cultural and language barriers, and described support they received from others.
Immigrants – particularly those from African nations – are a growing share of the U.S. Black population.
Most Latino immigrants say they would come to the U.S. again.
Most Asian adults in the U.S. have been treated as a foreigner or experienced incidents where people assume they are a “model minority.”
A rising share of Asian Americans say they have no religion (32%), but many consider themselves close to one or more religious traditions for reasons such as family or culture. Christianity is still the largest faith group among Asian Americans (34%).
