That chart shows the median household income for four races in America. It also shows the percentage of births to unmarried women as opposed to married women in the four races.
A negative correlation exists between the two. The race identified as Asian has the highest income of the four races, and the lowest rate of births to unwed women. The white race has the next highest income, and the second lowest rate of births to unwed women. Hispanics have the next highest income, and the next lowest rate of births to unwed women. Blacks have the lowest income, and the highest rate of births to unwed women.
Single parents across all races have low income levels:
Organizations exist to change those numbers for African Americans. It should be obvious - from a statistical point of view at the very least - that the lack of a father in a home with children is highly likely to result in very low household income. Do those organizations focus on marriage before kids?
