Just off the top of my head, it seems as if traditional barriers to home ownership have helped depress the accumulation of wealth for black women. But besides being less likely to inherit homes, I wonder how many black women do own homes but have gone into debt to do so, or how many black women never have that as an asset because they live in big cities — places in which people are more likely to be renters than homeowners.
