Native Americans were the most burdened group in nearly every spending category, struggling to pay for credit cards, loans, food and medical care at higher rates than their Black and Latino peers, according to a new poll.
Faced with the nation’s worst inflation in four decades, Black, Latino and Native American families are already having more issues affording food, housing and healthcare compared to their white counterparts, a new poll shows.
In June, consumer prices rose 9.1% from a year earlier, hitting a nearly 41-year high. Around that time, 55% of Black Americans, 48% of Latinos and 63% of Native Americans reported “serious financial problems,” compared to 38% percent of white adults and 29% of Asian adults. The exception was housing: 23% of Black households and 26% of Latino households in the survey reported serious problems paying their mortgage or rent, compared to 21% of Native American households, who were nonetheless more likely to report that they had been evicted or threatened with eviction in the past year.
The share of Black and Latino families struggling to afford housing is especially concerning because, as tenants, they’re more likely than their white and Asian counterparts to be considered “cost-burdened.” This means they spend more than 30% of their income on rent, giving them little room to adjust for higher prices.“The serious problem of inflation is impacting Black families more than many other Americans,” Robert J. Blendon, co-director of the survey and a professor at the Harvard T.H.
