New report Asks "Where do We Stand?" Answer = Below White Folks. New Report underscores racial inequities in St. Louis region in Context of White Over Black System. From [HERE] Too often in St. Louis, the difference between owning a home, holding a job or living beyond your first year of life depends upon which side of the racial divide you stand, according to a new study that details an old problem.

The report's authors at the East-West Gateway Council of Governments emphasized Wednesday that the research segregation and disparity was under way well before Ferguson rioting placed the region's race relations under a national spotlight. [Neely Fuller explains that "there is no way to integrate racism. Racism can either be practiced or not practiced."[MORE] 

The "Where We Stand" report compares the St. Louis region with 34 other metropolitan statistical areas. It found that St. Louis was the sixth most segregated among those peer regions "and tends to have a wider gap between whites and blacks than many of the peer regions on a range of social, economic and health indicators."

Among the findings, based on 2012 measures:

  • The median household income of a white family was $59,041, while a black family had a median income of $30,479.

  • The percent of white families living in poverty was 9.2 percent, while 30.6 percent of black families lived in poverty.

  • A black infant was 3.6 times more likely to die in the first year of life than a white infant.

  • Blacks were more than twice as likely to have no health care coverage than whites.

"The story has not changed much over the past 20 years," said Mary Rocchio, lead author of the report and manager of policy research at East-West Gateway. "Consistently, we have seen that there are differences between the opportunities and outcomes between the ways blacks and whites experience life in our region as well as in the United States as a whole." The Gateway council is comprised of regional leaders from Missouri and Illinois. [MORE]
