But that's just me and my life. The census data does not suggest a social implication, the data just show numbers with a relative correlation to whatever the question was that they designed: i.e. what types of people are getting paid the highest wages--or even more broader than that...
I even doubt they developed a hypothesis until after they got all the data calculated and noticed some trends... It would be nice to see their actual stats that they used.

Right so the spending is interesting. I remember walking in Jamaica, Queens (a black neighborhood in NY) and it was obviously not full of well-to-do people, but there seemed to be an abundance of spending on clothing and sneakers. That spending to be fabulously broke is somewhat baffling.
