“Usually, many people think Asians are better off economically than Blacks and Latinos, but our data show, no, that's not true,” says Columbia Professor Qin Gao. “So that's something that needs to be known and to be really digested and understood a bit.”
About one in four Asian adults in New York City lived in poverty in 2020 — a rate that is significantly higher than the citywide average, according to a report released today by Robin Hood, a local non-profit, in collaboration with Columbia University.
Rich Buery, Robin Hood’s chief executive officer, said if the experiences of Asian New Yorkers remain poorly understood, some of its members will continue to be underserved.Robin Hood is the city’s largest anti-poverty organization, which last year gave $172 million in grants to more than 200 programs that helped some of the city’s most vulnerable residents.
“Usually, many people think Asians are better off economically than Blacks and Latinos, but our data show, no, that's not true,” Gao said. “So that's something that needs to be known and to be really digested and understood a bit.” In the Chinese and Indian communities, different dialects are spoken, He said, making it that much harder for researchers to reach these New Yorkers.
