The Wealth, Health and Dating Practices of the Black Middle Class

This study interrogates the interrelationship between the status of singlehood and the long-term implications for racial and economic inequality by investigating four factors: wealth decisions, neighborhood choices, mental and physical health outcomes, and relationship and dating practices. Considering that the percent of Black middle class households that are single and living alone nearly quadrupled from 1980 to 2000, this project has sociological and economic implications for the long-term growth and stability and/or the demise and fragility of the Black middle class.
