OTHER CHARACTERISTICS
Black women are the head of 27% of all Black households in 2018 which is more than twice the rate for ‘all women’ at 12 percent. These are households defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as having a female head and no spouse present. Only 37% of Black women who gave birth were married which is almost the opposite for ‘all women’ at 66%. These are some of the issues factor into a much higher poverty rate of 24% for Black women compared to a 14% poverty rate for all women. These additional responsibilities may also explain why Black women are slightly over-represented in the workforce compared to all women. RELATED TOPICS
