I agree you won't find the densly packed urban areas filled with extremely poor whites, the same way you do with blacks.

"According to the 2007 Census Bureau report, the average African-American family median income was $33,916 in comparison to $54,920 for non-Hispanic White families. In 2007, the U.S. Census bureau reported that 24.5 percent of African-Americans in comparison to 8.2 percent of non-Hispanic Whites were living at the poverty level. In 2007, the unemployment rate for Blacks was twice that for non-Hispanic Whites (8 percent and 4 percent, respectively). This finding was consistent for both men (9 percent compared with 4 percent) and women (8 percent compared with 4 percent). "

To be fair though, Given that there are 5-6 times more whites in America than blacks that still leaves far more whites below the poverty line than balcks (about twice as many).

As you alluded, I was really only talking urban because that is where most of poor black America lives.

That said, there are some unbelievably poor white areas in Appalachia. I'm sure Tranny can attest to that and some of the stuff he's seen in connection with it.
