 Conversely, only one of three Black children born into families in the middle quintile has achieved a higher family income than their parents.On average, Black children whose parents were in the bottom or second quintile do exceed their parents' income, but those whose parents were in the middle or fourth quintile actually have a lower income than their parents.This is a very large difference compared to Whites, who experience intergenerational income growth in every quintile except the highest.
