Why we checked itSpecific dollar figure claiming African American median household income in Michigan is $25,000 below the national median — verifiable against Census Bureau data
What we foundA significant income gap for Black/African American households in Michigan is real and well-documented, but current Census ACS data consistently places the gap above $25,000 — ranging from roughly $27,000 to over $31,000 depending on the comparison group and data vintage.
