‘Not a typo’: Disbelief as Boston Globe confirms median net worth of black Bostonians is $8

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 After 87 Years of Democrat Rule, Net Worth of Average Black Bostonian Revealed
The Boston Globe had to explain there were no typographical errors in its report about Boston’s black community. Readers contacted the paper after it reported the median net worth of African-American households in the Boston area is a paltry $8. 

The Boston Globe’s Spotlight investigation team cited the statistic in its first installment of a series focusing on Boston’s black community and the city’s reputation as one of the most racist urban regions in America.

Sandwiched between other realities facing African-Americans living in the periphery of Massachusetts’ capital, the eyebrow-raising statistic left many readers wondering if the number was a typo, prompting the Boston Globe to write a follow-up article the next day, on December 11, titled:

“That was no typo: The median net worth of black Bostonians really is $8.”
